Anahi's Delightful Cat Sitting Services

I'm Anahi

Cat Sitting in Portland, OR

Hi, My name is Anahi (Ana-eee). I adore and appreciate our feline friends. I believe that cats deserve the world! I grew up with cats as pets and also have cat sitting experience. I am cat person who LOVES to play and give them all the attention. Cats are one my favorite subjects to photograph since they are always so cute and expressive.

I am looking forward for the opportunity to meet more cat friends. I genuinely enjoy their company as I strive to make them feel comfortable. One of the main priorities, when I cat sit for other people, is befriending the cats on their own terms. I am attentive, have a calming presence, and love to be around them. I find it so interesting to get to know each of the cats' personalities...

One of the main priorities, when I cat sit for other people, is befriending the cats on their own terms. I am attentive, have a calming presence, and love to be around them. I find it so interesting to get to know each of the cats' personalities.

I am also great at following directions and making sure to follow each different guidelines for each new cat. I am also comfortable giving medication as needed. I have experience giving oral medication mixed with food like cbd oil and crushed pills requested by their cat parents. I also have experience administering with pill poppers. I can administer other medication or injections if needed just show me how and I will be able to do so. I do not feel comfortable giving medication to aggressive cats.



Once booked, you will have the option to have our first meet and greet in person, FaceTime or zoom.

I am fully vaccinated and upon preference can be masked inside your home.

I can serve most neighborhoods in Portland including SE, NE, N, NW and SW!

For repeat clients if you don’t see me servicing your zip code I can usually accommodate my schedule to include it.


I’d love to meet your cats and let me know if you have any questions!

Learn More About Anahi

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

I started cat-sitting for friends and friends of friends since they saw how well I got along with their cuddling fur babies. I came across Meowtel and thought it would be a wonderful opportunity to meet more cat friends. In total, I have two years or so of cat-sitting for friends and started Meowtel in March 2023. I am so glad I did. Not only did I meet wonderful clients but cat-sitting for them has been such a pleasant experience.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

What I enjoy most about cat sitting is bonding with my clients' cats. I love seeing how they become comfortable around me slowly or quickly showing their unique personalities. It has been such a privilege to see how they all have interesting personalities.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

I always make a head count to see where they are before I leave. I make sure to follow any rules regarding the cats behavior to get in certain closets and follow the solutions their parents provided me. Insuring certain rooms and closets are closed. Removing any wands out of reach in case they are prone to bitting and eating the wands. Being very careful to open the door in case they have a history of running out the door.

What is your favorite cat toy?

I want to say laser but not all cats like lasers. I have such a great time playing with lasers with cats.

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

I let the cat approach me. I give them their space and try to be as quiet as possible for them. I know cats are super sensitive to noise and try to be very mindful of this. Depending on how anxious a cat is and how long I am sitting for I can typically bond with every cat I sit for, although there have been times in which I did not meet the cat with their owner in person and of course, have a hard time for them to be confident enough to meet me on their own accord. I typically ask to do in person meet and greet for this reason.

Anahi did such a great job keeping me in the loop about my cat. she even had to deal with me forgetting to put my key out! 🤦‍♀️ She handled it super well, go a key from a neighbor and was still able to check on Clementine.

Anahi cared for my kitties while I was on a very long trip. She was so attentive and updated me regularly with photos and statuses. My girl kitty is very shy and reserved and Anahi was so patient and understanding, but my boy cat is the opposite and LOVED Anahi and all of her pets/attention. She also left our place spotless! I can't recommend Anahi enough and I look forward to using her services again. Thank you Anahi!!

Anahi was such a great cat sitter. She took great care of Aster and sent me photos and videos of her so I could stay connected to my cat. I would definitely hire her again!

Excellent job keeping me informed, the home tidy, and taking care of Chauncey. He’s a very shy cat but Anahi got him to open up and be his affectionate self which very few folks have been able to do!

Anahi was wonderful! We loved getting pic and video updates while we were gone and missing our boys, and it was easier to leave knowing they were in good hands.

Anahi was an awesome catsitter for us. She stepped in and saved the day when the first Meowtel sitter we'd booked cancelled mid-reservation after we'd already left town for our wedding. Anahi was patient and kind and took the time to chat with me on the phone. She was really great with our cats and connected with them right away. We got lots of photos and video updates and our kitties got playtime too. Thank you so much for being a cat whisperer, we appreciate you! :)

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.

Portland cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $30.00. 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!
