I'm Jackeline

Cat Sitting in Astoria, NY

Hi, I’m Jackie & a self proclaimed cat lady that hasn’t gone crazy, yet! I grew up with all the animals at home & there was never a cat I didn’t insist on rescuing.

My current kitty Brooklyn is an adopted street cat that I found on the west coast & together we road tripped across the country for 6 months. He’s been my constant companion for the last 11 yrs & has made life so much more meaningful & interesting. He is vocal, sassy & just such a character. He has taught me patience, curiosity & how to slow down in life.

Besides loving cats, I’m also an artist & a nature enthusiast. I also love traveling & when I’m not able to bring Brooklyn with me, I make sure he’s left in...
Hi, I’m Jackie & a self proclaimed cat lady that hasn’t gone crazy, yet! I grew up with all the animals at home & there was never a cat I didn’t insist on rescuing.

My current kitty Brooklyn is an adopted street cat that I found on the west coast & together we road tripped across the country for 6 months. He’s been my constant companion for the last 11 yrs & has made life so much more meaningful & interesting. He is vocal, sassy & just such a character. He has taught me patience, curiosity & how to slow down in life.

Besides loving cats, I’m also an artist & a nature enthusiast. I also love traveling & when I’m not able to bring Brooklyn with me, I make sure he’s left in the best care possible so I know what a great responsibility caring for your kitty would be! From my own experiences, I know all cats have their own unique little (or big) personalities & that’s why I love them so much. I enjoy getting to know them on their terms & show them as much (or as little) love as they allow. I make sure to keep you posted on what’s going on while you’re away & send kitty snaps so you don’t feel left out. I also share snippets on my kitty ig - so you can see your furballs be featured over there!

My goal is for everyone involved to have a stress free experience so open & clear communication is a top priority of mine. I’m more than happy to follow any specific requirements so just let me know!

Covid Safety: I’m fully vaccinated & boostered. An in person meet & greet would be preferable, especially to help ease your kitty when meeting me for the first time but I completely understand if you’d prefer a video version due to health reasons.

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

I have been officially cat sitting through Meowtel for over three years and unofficially cat sitting most of my life.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Getting to have quality time with the kitties and easing other cat parents so they can enjoy their vacations to the fullest.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have a street kitty named Brooklyn that I found when I was living in LA. Together we road-tripped across the country and borough hopped until we settled in queens. I’ve always loved cats but he was the one that pushed me into becoming a full fledged cat lady 🤍

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

I would advise to listen to your intuition and pay attention to your kitties reaction when meeting a cat sitter. Not all all cat sitters are for every kitty and that’s ok.

Jackeline is amazing. She truly loves cats and is a caring, honest, and reliable sitter. One of our cats requires a detailed medication regimen and Jackeline handled it expertly. She’s also a really talented photographer and we loved seeing the pics she took of our two boys while we were away. Can’t recommend her enough.

We were so sad about leaving Oliver for over two weeks but knew that he was in great hands with Jackeline. Like our previous experiences, Jackeline made sure that we got all of the details of his care, including his medication updates, and she shared the most adorable pics. She’s a great photographer! Knowing that Oliver was being so well cared for allowed us to enjoy our vacation even more and eased our separation anxiety.

Jackie has taken care of my cat several times when I’ve had to go out of town. I cannot express enough how fantastic her service was. As a cat mom with a pet needing medication twice a day, finding someone reliable and capable is crucial. Jackie not only met but exceeded my expectations. Her professionalism and genuine love for animals was evident from the start. She took the time to understand my cat’s specific needs and routine, ensuring that the medication was administered accurately and on time. I was particularly impressed with the regular updates and photos, which gave me immense peace of mind knowing my cat was in the best hands. What sets Jackie apart is her attention to detail and the extra care they provided. She went above and beyond, spending quality time with my cat and making sure Kiki was comfortable and happy in my absence. I highly recommend Jackie to anyone seeking a trustworthy, compassionate, and skilled cat sitter. She is a true gem, and I am so bummed that I’m moving away from Jackie’s area. Kiki will miss you Jackie!

Jackeline was amazing with our four-week-old bottle baby kitten! I was nervous a typical cat sitter wouldn’t have experience caring for kittens so young, who have such specific needs and require so much attention, but Jackeline was very familiar with what caring for a bottle baby entails — it was clearly not her first rodeo. And she even helped me with scheduling, offering to do an “overnight” in the middle of the day, ensuring she could stay with our kitten for the full day my partner and I were away. She was really responsive whenever we checked in to see how it was going, and our kitten clearly loved her — she sent lots of pictures of them cuddling on the couch! I would absolutely book Jackeline again in a heartbeat!

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.

Astoria 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!
