I'm Mariya | Cat Sitting in Portland, OR
Hi, I am Mariya and I would love to be a helping hand and your cats' #1 admirer during your travels! I have been cat sitting on Meowtel for a few years now and it has been a wonderful experience. I love meeting new clients and their kitties and providing cat sitting services in my area. I am originally from Bulgaria and I have loved cats ever since I was little. I grew up with them and find them most fascinating. I moved from Los Angeles to Portland in March 2024 and I have a very flexible schedule. I work as a Virtual Assistant helping entrepreneurs and small business owners with their daily a...
Mariya's Reviews
Alexandra
Mariya took incredible care of Bo and Penelope. She braved the Portland ice storm of February 2025 to get to our house and make sure our cats were taken care of. She played with, fed, and gave attention to our two cats. Penelope is a shy/aggressive cat and she made sure that she got food and love. When we got back home, both the cats were in high spirits and did not act mad at us for having the gall to leave them. The house was in excellent condition when we got back.

Mariya was wonderful! She made the process unbelievably easy and she immediately won my kitty over. She's extremely reliable. I'll be using her services again.

Mariya took excellent care of my two senior cats! My shy cat warmed up to her quickly and was greeting her at the door halfway through my absence 😂 Was that cat charming on her part or ultimate betrayal on his? The jury is still out. My other cat got her daily bathtub faucet water (it's better than other water, you see...) during every visit and even allowed herself to be brushed, which is saying something. I'm pretty sure these two are just waiting for me to go out of town again so they can hang out with Mariya some more.

Frequently Asked Questions
Portland cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $28.00. 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. Meowtel sitters 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 we'll match you with the best options which are close by.
Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in 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 will include 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. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
