Cat Sitting in New York, NY

I’ve grown up with cats my whole life and have four of my own, so caring for them feels like second nature. I love getting to know each cat’s personality and making sure they feel safe, understood, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m gentle, patient, and attentive to the little things, whether that’s their favorite hiding spot, how they like to be greeted, or the routine that keeps them happy!

Having raised kittens too, I know how to handle zoomies and sudden bursts of energy as well as quiet cuddle sessions. No matter the age or personality of your cat, I am confident I can become their new best friend and provide them with a visit full of attention tailored just for them :)

Learn More About Jackie

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

I’ve been caring for cats since I was a kid, starting with neighbors’ cats and gradually helping friends and family over the years. This experience has given me a strong understanding of different cat personalities, moods, and routines. After moving to nyc, I’ve been finding myself missing the care I used to give my cats while at home and would love to find that here.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes!! Since I was a small child I’ve grown up with cats. I currently have 4 at my childhood home (Daisy, Toby, Finn, and Betty) that will hopefully make it up to nyc with me soon!

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

My process starts with understanding the cat’s personality and daily routine from the owner. I ask about favorite toys, hiding spots, and how they like to be approached. During the first visit, I let the cat explore me at their own pace, gradually building trust while following their normal routines for comfort and consistency.

Jackie has looked after my cat Louie several times now. She’s responsive and reliable. I’m able to enjoy my trips and not worry about Louie. And bonus that Jackie also snaps great photos!

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!
