I am a life long animal lover and cat owner, currently starting residency as a physician. Although my schedule is pretty busy and random I thought it would be nice to spend some of my free time helping care for other people’s kitties.

I have been cat sitting since middle school, first caring for a neighbor’s cats. I’m also comfortable giving medications to cats, as it is something I do regularly for my family’s 19 year old cat, Carmel. I am willing to learn how to administer subq fluids, injected medications, and inhalers.

Spending time with cats genuinely brightens my day and I often visit animal shelters for fun. I’ll make sure to send lots of pictures of your fur baby/babies while I am watching them! Looking forward to meeting you and your pets!

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I’ve been cat sitting for as long as I can remember, starting as a child caring for my neighbors cats when they would go on vacation.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love meeting new cats and learning all their different personalities quirks. It is also rewarding to build a relationship with the cats, keeping them company and giving them the attention they want while their owners are away.

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

I love to do a home visit to see where everything that I may need for the cat(s) is kept, how to enter and lock their house, and the cat’s routine. I also find it helps to meet the kitty while their owner is there so they can feel less scared when I return alone.

Samantha was fantastic. she took the time to get my very shy kitties to warm up to her. She was very responsible . when one of the kitties decided to throw up she cleaned up. We really appreciate Samantha.

Sam has been watching my cat for the past 5+ years. She is my go-to and is one of the most loyal and trustworthy people I know! One of my favorite parts of going out of town and having Sam watch my cat is that I know 100% I’ll get videos and photos of Bella throughout my time away. I’d recommend Sam to anyone!

Samantha cared for Golly, who has a complex food and medication schedule, with patience and kindness. She was attentive to his needs and was a respectful guest in our home. She has watched Golly from partial days to multiple nights. She is one of few people who I trust to take care of Golly, and he loves her!

I have known Samantha since 2012 and in that time she has taken care of my cats. She is always available by text and makes sure to take care of your critter to the highest of standards. I feel extremely safe and well taken care of when I leave my fur babies with her. Samantha is the best cat sitter I have had the pleasure of knowing.

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 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!
