Learn More About Jackie

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love how every cat has their own vibe and unique personality. I genuinely enjoy earning their trust, figuring out what makes them feel safe, and seeing their personalities slowly come through. I believe the key to great cat care is meeting each cat where they are.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

I would suggest to cat owners that they make sure the length of drop-in they book is sufficient for their cats needs. For example, if a more social and energetic cat needs extra play time, consider booking a time longer than 20 minutes so I can make sure they get all the attention they need!

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

Meet and greets prior to reservations are an important part of my process, giving everyone (humans and cats alike) a chance to get comfortable. I also make sure to send clients consistent updates on their cat while they’re away. As someone who has also hired cat sitters, I empathize with the desire for clear communication. It makes the whole process low-stress for everyone.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes! I am usually available during holidays. Please just try to let me know as far in advance as you can if you need me for a holiday.

What is your favorite cat toy?

The cat dancer! It’s a classic crowd pleaser.

Jackie was super flexible during my last minute travels when I couldn’t get my usually sitters. my cat Lincoln took to her very quickly and they became great friends! I would 100% recommend her and will be booking with her again

Jackie is an absolute gem. She took care of our cat and home with so much love, attention, and care — we felt completely at ease while we were away. She left our apartment spotless and even wrote the sweetest note that totally made our day. It’s rare to find someone so thoughtful and reliable. We’re so grateful for her and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her a thousand times over. Seriously, five stars isn’t enough — she deserves a thousand-star rating. Thank you, Jackie!!

Frequently Asked Questions

West Orange cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $27.00. 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.
