CURRENTLY OFFERING DISCOUNT FOR NEW CLIENTS đŸ˜»coupon will be applied at checkoutđŸ˜» Hello everyone! I am a Mental Health Counselor and huge cat lover. Since I was a kid, I have always been a huge cat lover. I grew up with cats and have had multiple cats as an adult. I currently have three cats, Harley(8), Peachy(3) and Bonks (1). My friends would definitely describe me as a crazy cat lady! I love spending time with, cuddling and playing with all kitties, but will also give space to those who need it.

Learn More About Jackie

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I started catsitting for neighbors and friends about 10 years ago and have been doing it professionally for about 5 years. I have been a volunteer at a local animal shelter since 2021 and working with the cats there has helped me learn so much more. I have been able to learn a lot about cat behavior, body language and reading their cues which has become so helpful as a cat sitter.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have 3 cats myself. My oldest is 8 and her name is Harley. I adopted her about 4 years ago and she is the sweetest snuggle bug. I also have Peachy (3 years old) who I adopted in 2022. He is a big goofball who loves to play, snuggle and eat. Bonks is about 1 old and the newest addition to my little family. She a bit shy, but once she gets comfortable she so snuggly and loves to play and wrestle with her brother Peachy.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes! I am usually available during holidays. I love spending the holidays cat sitting. I am usually very busy during the holidays so definitely a good idea to book early đŸ˜‰đŸ˜»

The MeowTel service, and Jackie in particular, made leaving my very young kittens for a days much more tolerable. Jackie is warm, enthusiastic, extremely competent, very responsible, magical with my kittens, and everything else one could want in a cat-sitter. Many thanks!!!

Jackie took good care of our 2 cats; one is diabetic with insulin needs and the other is a picky eater. She was reliable, punctual with the insulin admin time and helped our picky one eat. She sent us updates at each visit with cute pictures to boot! We felt she was able to handle idiosyncratic antics of our cats well. We plan to work with her again in the near future.

My kitties LOVE Jackie. She's fantastic with them, they like her, she's great with providing updates - photos, videos - and very timely with responses! She even watered my cat grass (I cannot keep the grass alive to save my life, and it looks better than when I left a week ago!).

Frequently Asked Questions

Somerville cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $34.00. Prices will also depend on how long your cat needs company for, whether that be a drop-in visit or overnight stay in your home. Meowtel sitters offer 20, 45, and 60-minute drop-in visits that allow for fully tailored care for your kitties. Your caregiver may also need to charge a little more if they have to travel far, so we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in 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 for your kitties. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

We recommend that you book daily visits with your sitter to keep your cats in their routine and to help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.

Each Meowtel cat sitting visit will include the whole 9 yards: feeding, refreshing the water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, as well as any special requests you may have. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
