My name is Jillian, but my friends call me Jackson :)
Professional, communicative and friendly, I'm the sitter for you. I've grown up with cats my whole life, cat sit for neighbors and family members, and have been on Meowtel now for almost a whole year. Whether your kitty is a free-feeder who just needs a litterbox cleaning and playtime, or has a strict diet-regimen who needs meds, I'm your pal! Based out of Kent, I'm on the way (OTW) 24/7 to check-in on your kitties, whatever schedule works best for you. Feel free to message me if you have any questions.

Learn More About Jillian

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love getting to know all little kitties, they each have such unique and exciting personalities. There's a special joy that cats get from in-home sitting over hotel/pet boarding, as they get to relax in a familiar place, eat familiar food, and play with familiar toys.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

My home has a total of SIX kitties, from ages 2 months to 12 years. Me and my family work hard to ensure they all get along. Their names are Coco (12, Siamese), Hazel (11, Calico), Tango (10, Orange Longhair), Zach (4, Black), Trish (4, Torbie), and Becca (<1, Tuxedo Longhair).

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

Privacy and safety is my #1 concern when it comes to cat visits. I color-code and label borrowed keys, keep keypad entries in a secure place, follow home-care instructions, and monitor cat health and behavior. I'm known to be the "Door Goalie"- ensuring no escaped cats under my watch.

Are you usually available during holidays?

I keep open availability for holidays, and do not charge any holiday-related fees.

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 never cross into their zone too soon, and can usually convince them I'm a safe person within 1-3 visits.

Jillian seemed like a nice person and showed Walter plenty of respect and kindness. Unfortunately, she wasn't great at following directions despite having provided her with both verbal and written detailed instructions. I paid her for 6 days, 45-minute sessions, but she never stayed for that amount of time. The lengths of her visits were 38 minutes on the first day, then 32, 15, 15, 44, and finally 20 minutes on the last day.

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!

Absolutely solid with complicated cats! This is our 2nd time using Jillian and we're very happy with her services. She is aware of the cats' behaviors, what they need and provides accordingly. Strong communications. We'll definitely use her again in the future.

More than 48 hours before the reservation start date: Full refund. The sitter will not receive any earnings.
24–48 hours before the reservation start date: 50% refund. The sitter will earn 50% of their planned earnings.

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 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!
