Learn More About Jamie

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

I have been cat sitting for most of my life, starting when I was in high school and continuing on and off as an adult (so for 20+ years!). I am extremely passionate about animals, particularly felines. When I was able, I would foster cats and kittens. Through this work I became familiar with taking care of new cat moms and their litters, orphaned kittens as young as 3 days old, and cats who might need special medications and/or diets. I'm very comfortable around cats of all ages, types, and personalities. Caring for kitties always brings me a tremendous amount of joy and fulfillment!

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love being able to give my clients peace of mind while they are away, knowing that their furry friends are receiving the best care possible. It also brings me great joy to meet new kitties and build relationships with them, whether they are extroverted, playful, cuddle-bugs or need some time and space to warm up to me (being generous with treats helps!). Cat sitting fulfills the natural caregiver in me and it would be my pleasure to share that with your kitty!

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

When I receive an inquiry I try to respond within 1 hour if the message is sent within business hours and 12 hours if the message is sent before/after hours or on weekends. If I'm available for the cat sitting opportunity then I'll arrange a meet-and-greet, where humans and kitties alike can introduce ourselves in person and I can learn the details of my client's needs. Should things still seem like a good fit, we'll move forward with the booking and exchange information so we can remain in contact to confirm dates, times, and details.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

It's always my goal for my clients return to a happy kitty and clean home. I always check to make sure doors and windows are locked, that only windows with screens are opened, and that doors to spaces that might be unsafe to your pet are kept shut. I inquire about specific care directions to make sure that I feed and clean up after your pet according to their needs and I'm extremely responsible with pet medications. I'll ask for vet information (both regular and emergency), as well as the location of your cat's carrier in case there is ever a need for us to use them.

Jamie gave excellent overnight care for Julio and Mimo, and sent me updates and pictures. It gave me peace of mind while I was away to know my boys were in good hands! I highly recommend Jamie, and would call on her again for cat-sitting.

Jamie took great care of my super senior! She was a lifesaver and responded quickly when I needed last minute cat care due to a family emergency. Jamie gave my kitty her meds on time and kept her fed and happy while I was away! She also provided detailed updates that put me at ease 😸

the reservation was perfect. I have never left my cat alone before and she is a very shy timid cat. Jamie asked all the right questions when we met before the cat sitting and sent great photos and updates each reservation for sitting. The feeding cleaning litter changing the water bowl/filling it up was done wonderfully. I would definitely recommend you booking her she is very kind and good with cats.

Last year, I made a move across country from San Francisco, CA to Glen Ridge, NJ with a senior dog (16+) and an 8 year old cat. I had a purrrrfect situation in San Francisco with a dear friend who would stay at my place while traveling. All of that went out the window when I moved and was the biggest stressor and limiting factor with making travel plans. I finally took a leap of faith and found Jamie. She recently stayed at my house and was our cat’s companion for five days. What a gift! She took such incredible care of our cat and gave him the best care. She was so thoughtful during her stay and took great care of the house and checking in to provide fun updates. I really can’t recommend Jamie highly enough!

Great kitty caretaker and I felt safe leaving them in her hands when I went away. Jamie is also very neat which I appreciate. The cats warmed up to her and took meds well.

Jamie is awesome! Patient, kind, reliable, communicative. My cat was well taken care of, at ease with Jamie (cats know!), and in top form when we got home. Jamie went above and beyond to care for Jeeves, and protect our home and property. I can highly recommend her to anyone!!

Frequently Asked Questions

Montclair cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $28.00. 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 you can find the best options which are close by.

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 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
