Learn More About Jacqueline
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I’ve been cat sitting for 15 years. I also have experience with socializing rescue cats, multiple cat household, and cats with special medical and behavioral needs.
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I’ve been a cat owner for over 30 years. I love meeting all kinds of cats and bonding with them. I’ve always been fascinated how every cat (even when closely related) are complete individuals with their own personalities.
Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?
I was sitting for a multi-cat (4 cats) household that ranged in diversity from a 3-month old rescue to a 19-year-old Bengal cat with renal disease. It was really touching to see the love and personality dynamics in this mini-colony. The oldest cat was helping to raise the younger cat
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
Dahlia and Diana are fosters turned fur-ever friends. I socialized 3 kittens as part of a rescue that took in a litter of 5. After adopting out their sister, I was in love - Dahlia and Diana were already home. Fun fact: after testing their DNA I found out my little fluffy 8 pound cats are 25% Maine Coon! That’s a lot of big cat energy for tiny tabbies.
Are you usually available during holidays?
I make my own work schedule so I am usually around for the holidays. Just reach out, I’m happy to help if I can!
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
The “slow blink” is the first sign of friendship. Getting on a cat’s level without overwhelming them has helped me build trust and win over a lot of shy felines.

Jacqueline was an incredible cat sitter! She was very flexible with our needs and shared updates and photos throughout the day. This was our first cat sitting experience since one of our cats Jackson had a urinary blockage a couple years ago so there was naturally a bit more anxiety but Jacqueline put all of that to rest! The cats really liked her too! We will definitely be working with Jacqueline again.

I COMPLETELY understand putting health and safety first, especially after a health scare. Jackson and Kobe are beautiful boys. I am touched you chose me to watch them. I am 100% invested in putting their health first. 😻😻Also. Fluffy. Cuddles!

I can’t recommend Jackeline enough as a cat sitter. She’s so sweet and genuinely loves cats, and it really shows. She’s super responsive which made me feel totally at ease while I was away. My cat took to her right away, and that says everything. Jackeline is reliable, gentle, and just amazing with cats. I’m so grateful to have found her!🫶🏻

Samba and Cumbia are such sweet, beautiful girls. I was so honored when Cumbia let me pet her and joined in on playtime with kitten sister, Samba. It was not hard to fall in love with these 😻😻s! ❤️

Jackie is very good with complicated animals. She makes you feel very at ease and confident in her abilities. She’s flexible as well, as one time when she cat sat for me, I got a last minute foster kitten. Anyone would be lucky to have her care for their cats!

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.
New York 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 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 Meet & Greet!
