I babysit or run errands occasionally during the week, but I’m just five minutes away. It’s easy for me to stop by as needed. I have plenty of time to give your cat attention and care when it matters most.

Safety, trust & environment
Your cat’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I create a calm, clean, and secure environment where they can feel relaxed and at home. I’m mindful of keeping doors and windows safe, removing any hazards, and ensuring they always have fresh water, a clean litter box, and their favorite cozy spots. I pay close attention to their behavior and health, and I’m quick to notice if something seems off. Whether they’re playful or prefer quiet time, I tailor their care to make them feel safe, seen, and loved.

Information Jacqueline S. would like to know about your pet
Before you drop off your cat, it’s important for me to know a few key things so I can give them the best care possible. Please share their daily routine, any medical needs or medications, feeding schedule, litter box habits, and any quirks or behaviors I should be aware of. It is also helpful to know how they handle new environments or if they’re shy, playful, or territorial. Let me know what comforts them (favorite toys, blankets, etc.), and how they usually respond to other pets or people. The more I know, the more I can make their stay feel just like home.
A typical day
A typical day with cats is all about finding the right balance between routine and comfort. I usually start with fresh food, water, and a clean litter box. Those basics make a big difference. Then, depending on the cat’s mood, there’s playtime with toys, window watching, or quiet moments just lounging together. I check in throughout the day to make sure they’re content, keep their space tidy, and offer plenty of affection (on their terms, of course!). Whether it’s a quick cuddle, brushing session, or just being nearby, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and at ease all day.

Pet care experience
I’ve always been a total cat person! Whether it’s a playful kitten or a seasoned nap champion, I genuinely enjoy getting to know each cat’s unique personality. Over the years, I’ve cared for all kinds of feline friends: energetic, shy, purr machines, and everything in between. I understand that each cat has different needs…whether that’s active playtime, quiet companionship, or just someone who knows how to give the perfect chin scratch. My goal is always to create a safe, loving, and low-stress environment. I keep their routine consistent, from feeding schedules and litter box care to making sure they have clean, cozy spots to relax. I’m also a bit of a neat freak, so their space stays fresh and tidy (no stinky boxes or spilled kibble here!). I pay close attention to their behavior and comfort, and I’m quick to notice if something seems off. You’ll get updates and photos so you can feel confident your cat is doing well and probably living their best life. Cat sitting, for me, is more than just a job. It’s a chance to bond, provide comfort, and be a trustworthy stand-in while you’re away. I genuinely love being part of their day and making sure they’re not just safe, but happy, relaxed, and completely spoiled.

Reviews
Jackie did a great job taking care of Cubby. Cubby adapted quickly and was very relaxed. Jackie was always available and kept in contact with me - letting me know how Cubby was doing. Cubby was in great hands with Jackie and I felt 100% confident that she took care of Cubby. Thank you
My cat, Nori, loves staying with Jackie! She always makes sure that Nori feels comfortable and well-adjusted. I receive daily picture updates of Nori and I can tell she is well-loved and cared for, which is a big deal because she can be pretty timid and shy! Jackie has become my go-to sitter and I’ll definitely book with her again!
Jackie and her husband did such a wonderful job looking after my cat Norah during the holidays. They made sure she was comfortable since Nori has a shy personality. Jackie kept me updated throughout Nori’s stay and reassured me when I asked questions! Definitely recommend and will be booking with them again!
Jacqueline took such wonderful care of my kitty. I’m very protective of him and always feel anxious leaving him, but she made me feel completely at ease. She consistently sent updates and truly made sure he was safe, comfortable, and well loved. I always knew he was in great hands. Jacqueline and her husband were incredibly kind, trustworthy, and thoughtful. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for excellent pet care.
