Learn More About Carmen
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have four kitties, all rescues, a mom and son named Bastet and Miysis respectively whom I met in 2013, and two more that found their way to me a few years later, Pegasus and Blue.
Are you usually available during holidays?
I have very flexible availability and I am available during all holidays as I don't normally travel during the holidays so I am available to look after your special furry fellow.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
For timid or anxious cats it is important to make them as comfortable as possible. I am new to their environment and so I do my best to blend into what they already know and give them time to get to know me and smell me, make sure I'm on their side, and build a rapport for as long as they need to feel comfortable enough to be themselves.

Carmen was amazing with my diabetic cat. She gave his insulin shots right on schedule, kept me updated with daily photos, and made sure he was comfortable the whole time. I came home to a happy, relaxed kitty! It’s such a relief to find someone so caring and reliable. I’ll definitely book again!

Carmen was amazing! Very caring and responsible, my cats loved her, which is difficult to achieve! She also was so wonderful when my power went out while I was away, and she could not get into my home because the garage door and front door code weren’t working. She waited hours for a locksmith (who didn’t show) the first day, and went back the next day to meet him. The kitties were just fine thanks to Carmen. Could not recommend more. Thank you, Carmen!

Carmen takes excellent care of our 2 kitties. They were rescues that we adopted at 5 months old and they had a rough start in life. At 8 months old they can still be skittish and nervous. But Carmen has a wonderful way with them. From the updates and photos she sends us we can tell she really engages with them. She's already taken care of them 3 times. We've booked her in the future. She's our permanent cat sitter.

Carmen was so great taking care of our 2 cats while we were away for 2 weeks. We booked Carmen to visit our cats twice a day (in the morning & evening). One of our cats is a senior cat who needs takes medication applied to the inside of the ear as well as vitamin K in her wet food in the mornings, and Carmen handled the medication & separate cat food needs with no problems. In addition, Carmen played with our cats (with our cat toys as well as a laser toy she had), scooped the cat litter, and ensured our cats' water & dry food were always full (and water fresh). Also, Carmen played CatTV videos on YouTube on our TVs for our cats with a timer so thrle TV would turj off automatically after a set time (CatTV has videos of birds & such for cats to watch). Carmen also communicated with us after each of her visits (via the Meowtel app & with WhatsApp) while were away, sharing how each visit went In addition, toward the last day, Carmen said she cleaned our cat water fountains & replaced their filters (we have a box of filters for the fountains). Carmen also offered to buy more of the tubes of push-out cat treats when we were getting low (I went ahead and ordered more on Amazon, which arrived later that day). Carmen did a great job, and we would definitely recommend her!

Beaverton cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $29.00. 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!

Carmen was absolutely incredible with our two kitties! We have a very needy and outgoing boy and a super shy girl and Carmen easily adapted to both of their needs! She got our timid girl to be the most social she’s ever been with someone outside the home! Carmen’s attention to detail and love for kitties was evident from the introductory visit and extended through our entire trip. Having her giving such specialized attention to our babies along with thorough (and entertaining!) updates put us at ease for the two weeks we were gone. Thank you so much, Carmen!

My fur baby is 17 and has been having a lot of elderly health issues so I was super anxious to leave her for a work trip. Carmen alleviated so much of that anxiety by being incredibly kind, understanding, communicative, thorough, and thoughtful! She was perfectly detailed with all of the extra medical care and sent extensive updates with pictures. I came home to my place perfectly clean and could tell my girl was given lots of genuine love and care. It means the world to have found someone I can trust!

My cats’ eccentricities baffle me but Carmen is a cat whisperer. We have a 16 year old shy void with kidney problems, a 9 year old we live in fear of, and a kitten that terrorizes our 9yro. Carmen charmed our shy void within seconds, won over the girls, and asked all the right questions during our meet and greet. During the visit, Carmen showed great attention to detail, care for our home, and love for our kittens. On top of everything, she clued us into some great tricks for feeding the mighty void cat. Carmen is the perfect home and kitty sitter.

Carmen was an amazing sitter over our extended vacation - providing detailed updates with cute photos, going above and beyond to report and clean up after messes, taking time/care to play with each of our cats in their favorite ways and staging enriching activities (like stashing toys and putting nature videos on our TV). We highly recommend Carmen to take care of your kitties!

I had never left my spicy girl alone for more than 2 days and never had any one else visit her that she hadn't already known. Leaving her for 5 days made her extra extra spicy but Carmen was kind and patient. Carmen sent pictures and videos of Wendy having fun and detailed information each visit. I did not worry about her being taken care of or feeling alone because of the great care!

Carmen was so good with the kitties! She played with them lots, sent lots of great photos, and cleaned our 6 litterboxes more often than she had to. We came home to happy healthy cats and everything in good order. Thanks Carmen!

Carmen is amazing~I highly recommend her! I was stressed about finding a new pet sitter during my family vacation and Carmen immediately put me at ease. She's super responsive with texts and went above and beyond to ensure our cat (and my daughter's guinea pigs) were well taken care of. Her detailed daily notes and pictures helped me relax knowing everything was going great. I'm so grateful for her help and look forward to using her services again.

Great experience. Care and updates were above and beyond. I felt so comfortable knowing that my cats were getting what they needed while we were gone. Communication was thorough and prompt, and this allowed for troubleshooting in a timely manner. One of my cats can be a turd but Carmen still took just as much time giving him love and enrichment as she did for my more “agreeable” cat. Carmen was warm and friendly and I felt comfortable from the moment I met her. I cannot recommend her and Meowtel enough!

This was my first time using the app and I didn’t know what to expect. Everything went well and Carmen was fantastic. I have two senior kitties who are on meds. I truly appreciate the effort she put in to bond with them and the wonderful updates she provided truly put my mind at ease. Would highly recommend.

I can't say enough about how well Carmen cared for our Mochi. Her updates were thorough and timely, and she always accompanied them with adorable photos. Mochi is typically shy, but Carmen was able to get her to come out of her shell and engage in play, which was both surprising and heart-warming. I can tell from her communication that she genuinely cares for the animals and understands how important her role is in caring for them. We will use Carmen again!

Carmen was absolutely wonderful as our cat sitter, providing the best care and attention to our two cats. She went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable, happy, and well looked after while we were away, and it gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in her hands. Carmen’s updates, pictures and genuine love for animals really showed through, and it’s clear she treats pets as if they were her own. We couldn’t have asked for better service and are so grateful for her amazing care!

Carmen is a very attentive pet sitter, always open to communicate and detailed. She made me feel like my pets were a priority. She would always check in first thing and send pictures or videos of my cats to assure me they were doing good. She would double check the feeding schedules were correct and even play with my cats if they were willing. By the end of each visit my cats were ready to adopt her as a cat mom if they could.
