I'm Emily
Cat Sitting in South Portland, ME
I try to meet every cat where they’re at- I will not... Hi! My name is Emily and I love cats. I have grown up with cats my entire life. I recently adopted a 2 year old cat and understand the importance of proper pet care. I will treat your cat like they are my own.
I try to meet every cat where they’re at- I will not push boundaries if they’re shy and like to let them warm up to me so they are as comfortable as possible.
I am accepting new clients, I have weekend availability and can do overnight stays with enough notice. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend!
Learn More About Emily
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I like seeing all of the different personalities. From crazy orange cats to a little torti-tude, I love them all and would love the opportunity to shower them with attention and care while you’re away!
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have a 2 year old cat named Kiwi. I just got her in February from the Meow Lounge in Westbrook 🙂
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
When meeting a new pet parent, I start with a meet and greet to get to know you and your cat. From there, we can go over the feeding schedule, litter box maintenance, how they like to play and any medical needs (including medications). I can provide photos from the visit and a summary of how your cat is doing in your absence. My goal is to make your cat as comfortable as possible while you’re away!

Emily was a wonderful sitter for our cats. Kind and patient with our shy one, and gave the other affection and play time. She sent updates daily. We could rest easy knowing our pets were in good hands.

Emily has been an absolutely wonderful cat sitter. She is incredibly caring, attentive to detail, and always goes above and beyond to make sure our cats are happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It's obvious that she genuinely loves cats and enjoys spending time with them, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Emily kept us updated, made sure every little need was taken care of, and treated our cats as if they were her own. We always came home to happy, relaxed cats, and that says everything. We would highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and compassionate cat sitter.

Emily grew up around cats & it shows. She is very gentle & our cats immediately took to her (one of cats usually runs from strangers and was instantly rubbing against her). It was obvious our cats were well taken care of. We would definitely use her again.

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.
South 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!
