Cat Sitting in Allentown, PA

20+ years of experience in cat care. I personally have the privilege of 5 rescue cats calling my house home.

I personally have the privilege of 5 rescue cats calling my house home. I have been volunteering weekly for a local cat rescue for over 7 years, cleaning, providing medical care, and socializing cats until adoption. My approach to all cats is patience and attention at their pace to ensure interactions are always positive. I scoop/deep clean litter boxes (I am familiar with LitterRobots), administer medications, and have a reputation for being able to trim most cat’s nails. On average I trim about 15-20 cats per month. Additionally, I am a big fan of enrichment, this could be new toys, treats presented in a new way - such as lick mats, or puzzle toys. My goal is to provide stability and safety for your kitties, through affection at their pace, play, and treats.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

Safety and security is of utmost importance to me as a pet sitter. I am diligent entering and exiting your home, ensuring I have located your cats prior to exiting. I prefer to present a high value treat before leaving a home to know their location and ensure I can exit. I also check over your cats physical condition (if they allow handling) and notify you immediately if I notice any changes.

Are you usually available during holidays?

I am available most holidays. We rarely travel during the holidays and spend the bulk of them at home. I would be honored if you trusted me to watch you feline family members during the holidays so you can have peace of mind enjoying time with friends and family.

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

Patience is the most important attribute when getting to know timid or anxious kitties. I see this type of cat often in my rescue volunteerism and they are honestly one of my favorites, earning their trust and affection is priceless. I always allow the cat to set the speed of an interaction and strive to make all aspects of it positive. I often offer high value treats such a freeze dried fish and always Churu tubes. Even if a cat is not accepting of treats you can talk calmly and quietly to them. If there is a preferred toy that can also provide a positive bridge to a new person. I also recognize some cats prefer not to interact with new people, in these cases I still ensure I set my eyes on the cats to ensure health and safety each visit.

I have high expectations for the care of my 8 cats, and I can say with certainty Jackie has not only met but exceeded these expectations. I told her most of my cats were very shy and that she wouldn’t see most of them, but to my disbelief by day two she had already become best friends with them all- even the one that hides behind the washing machine with new people came out and was loving on her! She respects cats’ boundaries and can read their language very well. She sent updates with pictures and videos every day. She has calming energy with cats who need that. She gave all my cats their favorite treats and played with them all, getting to know each of their personalities individually. I have a cat that pees that needs to stay in her own room, three other cats, and four outdoor cats and Jackie gave them each special attention-and even played with my outdoor cats! She brought her own toys and lick mats for enrichment. She knew how my litter genies worked and had emptied them all, along with the trash, on the last day. She asked if she had questions. She found and hid a melatonin pill that had been on the floor for who knows how long to protect my cats just in case. Also on her first day she literally scooped up a lost dog that was walking behind my house in an alleyway - I swear I think animals just flock to her like she is a Disney princess lol! I will be requesting her for all future vacations for the rest of my life. As a huge cat person myself involved in the cat rescue world, I can say with certainty you will be more than satisfied with Jackie‘s personalized care for your animals.

Jackie is an amazing cat sitter! She tried some new toys with my 2 goofballs and was even able to clip their claws when they had been difficult for me in the past.

Jackie was great! We felt comfortable leaving our cats in her care. Played with them and sent us pictures every day. She even made an extra stop to check on our girl who is a great hider! We will definitely have her back when we need a catsitter!

My husband and I were very nervous about leaving our kitties with a sitter. However, once we met with Jackie, our fears went right away. We knew that she would be the perfect fit! We left for vacation feeling relaxed knowing that they would all be in good hands. She was wonderful sending us updates during each day and our kitty clan made a new friend- even the shy ones!! Thank You Jackie for taking such good care of them all! 😊

Jackie has an amazing gift of connecting with animals. She and my cat Cheddar bonded quickly. There are times when he can be shy but he took right to her: letting her pick him up and rub his belly. She sent me photos each day along with descriptions of their time together. She went above and beyond and brought a lick mat for him to try. I will schedule with Jackie the next time I am out of town.

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.

Allentown cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $25.00. 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!
