Cat Sitting in Eugene, OR

Hi, I'm Denise and I love cats! And they absolutely love me back. Like you, I'm a cat parent and an avid traveler. I know how much we want our cats looked after properly while we are away from them. Most people think felines are so independent that they don't really need much if left alone for a period of time. Just give them a big bowl of food, water and a litter box and they'll be fine. I know that can't be further from the tr... Hi, I'm Denise and I love cats! And they absolutely love me back. Like you, I'm a cat parent and an avid traveler. I know how much we want our cats looked after properly while we are away from them. Most people think felines are so independent that they don't really need much if left alone for a period of time. Just give them a big bowl of food, water and a litter box and they'll be fine. I know that can't be further from the truth. Interaction and reassurance make for a happy and healthy cat.
In the past twenty years as a pet sitter I've looked after hundreds of cats of all temperaments and have always prided myself on exemplary service. I've given medication, insulin injections, sub-cutaneous fluid, nail trims and chin scratches. I have never met a kitty I couldn't handle so go ahead and book The Cat Lady!
PS: I've added chicken care to my resume!

Denise bonded rapidly with my shy yet affable kitty, letting her engage at her own pace. I appreciated her regular short updates and photos. She was completely reliable, and also flexible when plans changed at the end of my trip and Maisie needed a few more days of care. Much appreciated!

Denise was amazing. My daughter was rushed to the hospital and couldn't get home to feed her cat. I live outside of the area so had to get in touch with Denise remotely. She responded and took the job. Come to find out, she was locked out of my daughter's house, so I asked her to call a locksmith to be let in. She handled everything with professionalism and care. She even bought supplies for kitty because my daughter hadn't been home. She was able to care for my daughter's kitty and she even checked up on him again to find out my daughter's friends were taking care of him too. She wrapped everything up with great care and compassion. Thank you Denise!

We enjoyed the help of Denise for the first time while away in Mexico. she is professional, timely and very personable. Everything went as planned. Daily photos were sent to me so we could see our kitty. Highly recommend this very kind lady and will use her services again in the future. A real gem!

One of my cats is a shy boy, but in a few visits he opened up and became more social with Denise. It felt so relieving to see he was not so timid the entire time I was traveling. I also appreciated Denise’s attentiveness and communication with me, sending me photos and updates every time she visited.

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.

Eugene 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!
