Cat Sitting in Lake Oswego, OR

I have owned cats throughout my entire life and I love their company and having their sweet presence around my home. I’ve owned many different personalities of cats such as: shy, difficult cats as well as snuggly, happy cats. I’ve even had to deal with one particularly sweet boy of mine who had multiple health complications and needed a special diet and required medication so I am pretty proficient at getting pills into kitties as needed in a comfortable way. I currently have two cats, Maxine & Marshmallow, and my daughter also identifies as a cat lol she’s 5 and is at cat lover as well. I would be very happy to take care of your fuzzy baby for you just like I take care of my own!

I am fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and boosted. If you have an additional COVID-19 precautions you would like for me to use, just let me know and I would be happy to accommodate. Whatever I can do to make you feel more at ease about being away from your cat, just let me know :)

I work 5 days a week for 7 hours a day- sometimes I work an AM shift and sometimes I work a PM shift, therefore I always have part of my day available to give to you. If you have a specific time of day that you would like me to visit your cat, let me know and more likely than not I will be able to make that happen.

I will always take pictures, video, and provide you with a summary of how my visit went with your cat for each visit. I am also happy to change their litter box, bring pre-approved treats by you over, and do whatever other tasks you need to be completed in order for you to able to enjoy your time away with peace of mind.

Kristen is a wonderful cat sitter! I felt so comforted knowing she was checking in on my sweet boy while I was away. She let me know when she got there and sent an update on how he seemed and what she did with him, as well as pictures of him. She swept up litter that got tracked on the floor around the box too. Just a top notch experience and will definitely book her again!

I never used Meotel before so I wasn't sure what to expect but oh dang, am i so so so grateful I found Kristin. She was so good to my spoiled princess of a cat and sent so many photos and just seemed to love her as much as I did. Absolutely amazing of a sitter and definitely my go to next time I travel. The fact that she also offered to get mail, bring in packages, and water plants just really stood out as well. So happy with her!

Kristen is our new cat sitter - after the retirement of our previous one. Our kitties seemed to do very well with Kristen. They were happy and calm when we got home. Kristen's photos and updates were great.

Kristen was amazing and took care of my rescue kitty babies while I was away. I'd give her 6/5 stars if I could! Our cats seemed more relaxed than usual and we believe this is all due to her actually taking the time for each one and checking to make sure all was good with them. Kristen also did a Meet & Greet with us, which was extremely helpful. She knew we were camping so she went above and beyond by not only updating the Meowtel message board, but also texted me at every visit. I'd definitely recommend her and plan on inviting her back into our home for more kitty care in the future.

I feel so lucky to have found Kristen to watch our two kitties for a weekend camping trip. She is very quick with her responses, and I loved her updates/photos of our cats she sent to us for each visit, I felt very good knowing they were in her care! Our shy cat also warmed up to her! <3

This was my first experience with Meowtel and I loved it. Kristen was fantastic! She went above and beyond my expectations, the detailed updates and pictures were perfect, and my favorite thing is that she was able to love on my very skittish kitty. Kristen was so calm and friendly and exactly what he needed. I'm a Moewtel user for life!

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.

Lake Oswego cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $31.00. 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!
