Miracle
Barbara really loves hanging out with cats and taking good care of them! My cat Odin vociferously welcomed Barbara's presence in our home whenever he saw Barbara arriving on the back street walking seeing from the window sill, he also begged for play time with new toys (lately the stick game), and reciprocated with his paws. Barbara is very thoughtful, loving, caring, and attentive, Odin still missed us being away but still liked hanging out with Barbara not just for water and food but also for emotional connection.

This was the second time that I worked with Baraba and I’m even more impressed. During my two week absence she went above & beyond to take care & make sure that my sweet cat had plenty of love and playtime. Highly reliable and recommended!

Barbara was the ideal sitter for my shy friend. She was responsive, kind & caring and provided lots of photos and updates. I never had any doubt that my cat and home were in good hands. Highly recommended!

Frequently Asked Questions
Portland cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $29.00. Prices will also depend on how long your cat needs company for, whether that be a drop-in visit or overnight stay in your home. Cat sitters on Meowtel offer 20, 45, and 60-minute drop-in visits that allow for fully tailored care for your kitties. Your caregiver may also need to charge a little more if they have to travel far, so you can find the best options which are close by.
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 for your kitties. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.
We recommend that you book daily visits with your sitter to keep your cats in their routine and to help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.
Each Meowtel cat sitting visit typically includes the whole 9 yards: feeding, refreshing the water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, as well as any special requests you may have. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
