I'm Jing
Cat Sitting in Brookline, MA
I believe there’s one thing cats value most: boundaries. I always let the cat set the pace and I adjust — whethe... Hi there! I’m Jing, a Brookline-based cat sitter and shelter volunteer. I’ve loved cats my whole life, so getting paid to “cat-admire,” hand out chin rubs, and share a quiet room with a purring companion feels like a dream job to me.
I believe there’s one thing cats value most: boundaries. I always let the cat set the pace and I adjust — whether they’re shy, playful, or super cuddly. I keep a close eye on eating, drinking, litter box habits, and energy, and I’m comfortable giving oral meds and following specific routines.
You can count on me to treat your cat gently, respect their personality, and send clear updates with photos or videos so you never have to wonder how they’re doing.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
Meeting fur babies is always exciting, but also challenging because cats are not creatures to trust easily. I like to understand their character and find out what they like. It will take some time, but it's a rewarding experience. Plus it's very cool to visit other people's homes and see how they decorate them.
What is your favorite cat toy?

Jing did an amazing job looking after my two cats - she sent updates every day with pictures, responded promptly to any messages and I could tell when I got back that my cats were well taken care of! I hope Jing is available the next time we need another cat sitter!

Perfect performance! Jing showed up as scheduled to introduce herself to me and my two senior cats, in preparation for a 10 day vacation. She understood my instructions and even made an instant friend with one of my guys, who is normally pretty shy. She showed up every day, provided photos, cleaned the food and water bowls, fed the cats, cleaned the litter box, swept up. Over time, the cats warmed up to her as Jing took time to play with the cats and provide cuddles. When I returned home, the cats looked great and perhaps disappointed that it was me opening the door and not Jing. I hope Jing is available the next time I leave the cats for a few days.

This is my second time with Jing, she has always taken the best care of Chowder both with daily routines and giving her love and cuddles while we’re away :) She gives the best update blurbs and great pics so I don’t miss her too much while away. She’s amazing!!

Jing did a great job…I never felt worried about my cat while I was away. Franko is extremely shy and requires a light touch…so the fact that he was willing to let her pet him on the last day speaks to her ability to connect.

We recently added two three-year-old kitties to our home, and this was our first trip away from them. Jing was professional and friendly, clearly knew how to take care of cats, asked great questions, and provided wonderful daily updates. We are so happy with her services and highly recommend her as an excellent pet sitter.

Meowtel is a marketplace that connects cat parents with independent sitters. For eligible reservations booked and paid for through Meowtel, the Meowtel Promise explains how we support cat parents if something unexpected comes up.
If it doesn't feel like a purrfect fit after a Meet & Greet or during a reservation, our support team is here to help at 1-844-Meowtel (1-844-636-9835). We'll take time to understand what happened and help you consider next steps, which could include help with a new reservation.
Brookline cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $31.00. Prices depend on visit duration (20, 45, or 60 minutes) and whether you need drop-in visits or overnight stays.
Every cat sitter on Meowtel completes a background check. Ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can feel comfortable with your sitter before you leave.
Cats are territorial animals and don't do well in new environments. The presence of other cats, dogs, and even birds in kennels or animal hotels cause an immense amount of stress. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.
We recommend booking daily visits to keep your cats in their routine and help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.
Each visit typically includes: feeding, refreshing water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, and any special requests. Ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet!

Jing was great! Super responsive and was even willing to potentially sit an extra day when a travel emergency came up. Your kitties will be safe with her!

So glad to have met Jing! She was very reliable and the cats liked her a lot! She kept me updated and sent me pics of my cats. My neighbor/friend who also spent time with my cats said that the sitter did a great job with the food, cat litter, water, etc. I would not hesitate to hire Jing again! Thank you Jing and Meowtel.
