Learn More About Jackie

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

My advice to cat parents is to share as much information as possible and leave a written copy of instructions for the stay. Even if you use the same instructions over and over, it is really helpful to have on hand. Including any preferences for your cats or home. Especially important to let your sitter know if anyone will be stopping by the house while you're away (cleaners, family members, etc).

What is your favorite cat toy?

Hands down it is any toy on a stick or string. They universally go crazy for them and it creates a nice distance when getting to know a new cat and what might cause them to scratch or bite.

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

Most cats will eventually warm up and they will do so even sooner when you give them space and refrain from sudden movements. It's really important to take their cues and not push the limits on what they are comfortable with. That will never encourage them to say hello. I like to sit by quietly after giving them their food and just let them set the tone. Some days we will just be in the same room, and eventually they will come up and sniff, hopefully even let me pet them!

This is the second time Jackie has sat for my cat. She is an excellent caretaker, and went above and beyond to notify of a heating problem that came up in the apartment while I was away. She obviously cares about the cat’s well being, and I would happily trust her again to take care of him.

Jackie was great with our senior diabetic cat! He’s difficult with strangers and Jackie was patient and successfully administered his insulin twice daily.

Jackie was terrific and is clearly a cat whisperer. She charmed our shy male cat out of his shyness and she handled our female cat's medicine like a pro. Jackie was also very good at communicating with us.

Jackie was an excellent sitter. our otherwise anti-social cat seemed to warm up to her immediately. She took photos of each visit and let us know how our senior was doing. Will definitely ask her to sit again!

Jackie took great care of my 3 kittens. They liked her from the meet & greet so I felt comfortable leaving them in her care. Jackie stayed with them overnight for 2 nights. They were well cared for and loved while I was away.

Jackie was available to watch our cats when we had a sudden last-minute trip to visit family in the hospital, and she did a great job with our requests as well as going above and beyond to give the cats some playtime while she was there.

Frequently Asked Questions

Arlington cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $29.00. Prices will also depend on how long your cat needs company for, whether that be a drop-in visit or overnight stay in your home. Cat sitters on Meowtel offer 20, 45, and 60-minute drop-in visits that allow for fully tailored care for your kitties. Your caregiver may also need to charge a little more if they have to travel far, so you can find the best options which are close by.

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 for your kitties. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

We recommend that you book daily visits with your sitter to keep your cats in their routine and to help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.

Each Meowtel cat sitting visit typically includes the whole 9 yards: feeding, refreshing the water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, as well as any special requests you may have. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
