I'm Katey
Cat Sitting in Portland, ME
Pet-sitting is my full-time job! It's important to me that your pet is well cared for. I'd love to meet you and your cats!
Outside of pet-sitting, I use my free time reading books, watching horror movies at home, & spending time with friends.

Learn More About Katey
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I have worked with pets of all breeds, sizes, ages, abilities, & temperaments for over 10 years. I started volunteering with animal rescues when I was in 5th grade.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I currently have one adopted cat named Onion. I've had him for nearly 3 years. He loves treats, warm laps, & knows a few tricks!
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I try to move slowly to avoid startling them. Remember to be patient, some cats love a slow-burn relationship! 😸

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.
Portland cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $27.00. 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!
