I'm Jackeline
Cat Sitting in Astoria, NY
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.
Learn More About Jackeline
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!

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!

Jackie is clearly a cat person - got along great with my shy cat, understood how to get him to do his tricks (his favorite activity) since she does it with her own cat, and wrote detailed updates every day, which soothed my mind. I hope she's available next time we go away!

We found Jackie in a pinch when we had to go out of town and were worried about finding care for our cat that’s been a bit under the weather and needs meds. Jackie has been so pleasant from the moment we made the reservation, to our meet and greet and providing us with updates throughout her visits - she has been thorough, detail oriented, and her love for what she does shines through so brightly. Our kitty is definitely on the shy side and she has managed to get her to open up and be comfortable. I’m so relieved to have someone to call on now whenever we need care for our fur baby!

This was our second time having Jackeline watch our cats and, as before, she was excellent. She really cares for them and sends very detailed reports of her visits which put us at ease and give us the confidence that they are well cared for.

Jackeline is honestly the best cat sitter we've ever had in New York. She sends thorough updates, pictures, and any concerns through the app with every visit. She spends thoughtful time making sure she can confirm the cats are home even if they're hiding (great for my anxiety! lol), and even puts in extra effort to get our shy ones out to come say hi! I couldn't recommend her enough to take care of your cats. She is one in a million!

Jackie goes above and beyond when it comes to babysitting my two boys. They're adult cats and don't need much from a sitter, but Jackie always stays longer than she has to because she simply loves playing with them (and they love it too!) You'll also get some of the best photos and commentary on your cats from her, which very much puts you at ease while you're away from home.

Jackie was such a godsend! I am a bit of a helicopter mom, so it was lovely to meet someone so trustworthy and communicative. Our kitties were well taken care of while we were away, and I got extensive updates via text from Jackie which was so awesome!

Jackeline was absolutely amazing with my two cats and I would recommend her to anyone! This was my first time ever using a cat sitter and she put my mind at such ease while I was on vacation and got along with my cats immediately, even my shy guy who usually isn’t super receptive to new people! All of her updates and photos were great and overall communication was seamless. 10/10 recommend 🐱❤️

Jackie sent me pictures every day which I loved. She also sent me an update about everything she did during the visit. I felt completely reassured my kitty was in good hands.

Jackeline was wonderful with my cat Ollie. Everything went perfectly and Ollie was so calm and didn’t seem stressed about being left alone. Jackeline came for 20 minute visits each day for 3 days I was traveling. She fed him , freshened his water, cleaned his litter box and gave him his favorite Churu treats. She sent lots of pics of him playing and he seemed to like her very much. I highly recommend Jackeline and can honestly say it made my trip so much nicer knowing my kitty was being taken care of so well.

This is a repeat review just to say we won't ever use another catsitter again! Jackeline is the absolute best, and has even won over our shyest cats. She spends lots of time with them, respects their boundaries, and cares about all the critters in our household. She is honestly the best person, and we feel so safe leaving our family in her hands. Thank you Jackeline!

Jackeline is the absolute best cat sitter in New York City. She is so communicative, loves cats, made us feel so at ease and took such incredible care of our sometimes difficult girls. She made sure to send pictures, always gave updates, and genuinely loved getting to know them. We will be literally planning our vacations around her availability in the future!

Jackie is an absolute gem! she took care of my cat when I was gone for a week. my cat is shy and skittish with new people normally but she got comfy with Jackie right away. Jackie sent me picture and video updates everyday that helped me see how my cat was doing and they were having a good time

Jackeline is AMAZING! after a handful of questionable catsitters, she is an absolute dream. Her detailed updates and cat knowledge show a level of love and care I've never seen in a catsitter, and her pictures are amazing! I know my cats are in great hands and I'm so happy to have found Jackeline.
