Highlights
Pet care experience
Cat Sitter of Many Talents
Lifelong cat lover with 30+ years of feline care experience, including fostering cats and kittens and providing compassionate fospice care. Comfortable with cats of all ages and temperaments, including those with medical needs. I have experience with giving meds, injections, and subcutaneous fluids, and I always take a calm, gentle approach. I love providing enrichment and personalized care to keep cats happy, comfortable, and stress-free while you’re away.
Safety, trust & environment
I care for pets in my client’s home by creating a calm, low-stress environment and following their routine as closely as possible. I build trust with a gentle demeanor, timely feedings, approved treats (like Churu if their diet allows), and interactive play. I also enjoy leaving pets with a simple enrichment activity to keep them mentally engaged and comfortable while their humans are away.
Ratings and reviews
I have known Jackie for many years and she is a wonderful person. She loves all animals and has volunteered her time to the Seattle Animal Shelter for several years. I would love to have her watch/sit with my cat and will when I take my next vacation. She will go beyond your expectations taking care of your pets.
Jacqueline is an animal whisperer. She teaches cats to high five, rehabilitates scaredy cats into gregarious family members, and finds enormous personality in any animal (even a dull chicken!). Patient, attentive, vigorously responsible, Jacqueline is first class animal expert and every kitty's best friend.
Working with Jackie has been one of the best decisions I’ve made as an independent animal rescuer. She is incredibly sweet, patient, and deeply knowledgeable about animal behavior. Her guidance has helped countless pets in my care transition smoothly into their forever homes, and I trust her fully with my animals. She treats every animal with compassion and truly understands their needs. I cannot recommend her enough!
Jackie loves pets and pets love her. If I have a cat question, I ask her. She is a foster human to cats and has had grand dogs. She is fun and energetic by nature, yet instinctively knows when a pet needs space. She has encouraged me to clicker-train my kitten and she has seen success with her foster cats. Your pet will be well cared for and loved.

Schedule
My schedule is very flexible so I'm usually able to schedule my other commitments around the drop-in visits. My cat says as long as I feed him first, he doesn't mind if I go out for awhile.
