I've grown up with cats my whole life, and have taken care of neighbors' as well as family member's pets, with my own two kitties at home- Zach and Trish. I've been a catsitter about a year for over 15 cats and clients. Whether your kitty is a free-feeder who needs a litterbox cleaning and playtime, or a strict diet-regimen who needs meds, I'm your gal! Based out of lower south Seattle, Tukwila and Renton, I'm on the way (OTW) 24/7 to check-in on your kitties, whatever schedule works best for you.

Learn More About Jillian

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love getting to know all little kitties, they have so much personality. Helping out my community have affordable cat sitting over potentially stressful hotel/boarding is also a plus.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Zach and Trish! Adopted as a bonded pair from Seattle Area Feline Rescue, Zach is a bombastic bombay with bat-teefies and Trish is a talkative torbie with a cheetah-belly. Quite possibly the sweetest cats I've ever known.

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

Your privacy is my concern, any and all instructions are strictly confidential, and followed to a T. I also am a skilled Doorway Goalie (Art of Block the Cat). Flexible to any kind of home access methods (keybox, keypad, garage, spare key, callbox, etc.)

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

I'm very patient with elderly and anxious cats. Especially for the first few visits if I need to take longer to get them comfortable I'll usually just sit on the floor and wait for them to investigate me on their own.

I needed last-minute assistance for some emergency travel. Jillian was a lifesaver! I returned home to two happy kitties, which was a big deal considering every other time I’ve traveled they’re usually anxious for 2 to 3 days when I return. I couldn’t be happier. :)

Jillian was fantastic and took great care of our cat while we were away! We had plenty of updates and photos, too! Our cat also warmed up to Jillian quickly, which is always a huge compliment. Thank you again, Jillian, for taking such good care of Gyda!

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.

Seattle cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $29.00. 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!
