Learn More About Julia

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I’ve been cat-sitting independently for that past decade (before the invention of the phone app)! Cat-sitting has taken me across the country. I’ve cat sit in Chicago, Boston, Texas, Central Maine and beyond and I am no stranger to the cat-sitting industry and to the homes of cat lovers near and far.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I enjoy learning about the personality of each cat. Each feline is so different, I enjoy meeting them at their own pace and place.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

I have a continued relationship with a cat named Tilde in Boston. Tilde is elderly and I enjoy watching her regularly, while caring for her needs as she ages. Additionally, I have grown my relationship with her owners and feel honored to be trusted with her well being.

Julia watched my kitty for a week, and I felt so at ease being away, and sometimes hard to contact. She came by beforehand and asked great questions and made me feel like my little Tucker was in great hands. She was communicative and gave updates. Additionally, she left my apartment better than she found it. I will ask her again next time I go out of town!

Frequently Asked Questions

Portland cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $30.00. 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 you can find the best options which are close by.

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 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
