Hello Everyone! I’m Filsan and I have had cats my whole life plus having one currently.

Growing up I my family regularly fostered cats and kittens, so caring for felines of all ages personality and backgrounds has always come to me naturally. From energetic kittens to shy senior cats I’ve learned that every cat is unique and deserves patience, understanding, and individual care.

My love for cats also became part of my volunteering as I have tried volunteering around Portland and helping my cousins with their own cat. With that I have gained expierience with comforting anxious cats. I recognized changes in behavior to remain calm under pressure, and proved companionate care when cats need it the most.

I recently graduated and am excited to get back into cat sitting something I’ve genuinely missed. Whether your cat loves to play, prefers quiet companionship, or just needs someone reliable to stick to their routine, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

Learn More About Filsan

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I’ve always loved being around cats, and cat sitting gives me the chance to spend time with them. Between classes and internships I usually don’t, so now I’ve chosen to wait until i grauduated to give my own the attention and long-term commitment they deserve. In the meantime, I love getting to know each cat’s unique personality!!It’s honestly the best of both worlds because I get to do something I genuinely love while helping give pet owners peace of mind.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

My process always starts with communication. Before the first visit, I like to learn about your cat’s routine, personality, favorite toys, feeding schedule, medications (if any), and any specific preferences or tasks you’d like me to take care of. I also ask about anything you’d prefer I avoid so I can provide care exactly the way you’re comfortable with.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes! I’m generally very flexible during the holidays. As a recent grad , I have more time off for holidays, which gives me greater availability when many pet parents are traveling. If you’re planning a trip, I’d be happy to discuss your dates and do my best to accommodate your cat’s care needs.

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 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 Meet & Greet!
