I'm Kate | Cat Sitting in Portland, OR
As a lifelong cat lover, I understand that every fur baby is special. Whether I'm caring for a curious kitten, a shy senior, or a sassy teen, I take a gentle, intuitive approach - giving each cat the space and attention they need to feel safe and happy. During my visits, I stick closely to your routine to keep things familiar and stress-free. I'm very mindful of separation anxiety because my two cats struggle with that as well (especially my Siamese!) The trick is to meet them where they are with patience and compassion. Also, separation anxiety goes both ways, so you can trust that I'll be giving you ver...

Kate's Reviews
Brittany
Kate was absolutely amazing! She was so sweet with our two little boys. She sent great pics and was communicative about how our cats were doing throughout the day. We would 100% ask her to take care of our cats anytime!
Nicole
Kate was very communicative, kind and sent lots of cute photos/videos and updates. Felt very comfortable leaving my kitty under her care.
Duncan
Cat whisperer is too quiet a term to describe Kate's feline fostering skills. Cat lyricist or cat public speaker is more like it. My cat doesn't warm up to anyone easily - a true cold and furry shoulder on her. Kate had her thawing by the third visit and used the ice for drinks while spilling the tea on the neighborhood street cats. And don't get me started with all the professional cat pictures that look better than my LinkedIn profile. Every update was top tier. My cat was in the best of hands. And now she'll want to go visit Kate even when I'm home. 10 paws up. Would hire again!
Sue
Kate was absolutely fantastic with my cats! She was super thorough during the meet-and-greet, asking all the right questions to ensure she knew exactly what they needed. Plus, she sent me adorable pictures of them each day I was away. I can’t recommend her enough for your pet-sitting needs—she truly knows how to take care of furry friends!
Laura
Kate was so kind and generous with her care and attentiveness with Luna.

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Portland cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $28.00. 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. Meowtel sitters 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 we'll match you with the best options which are close by.
Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in 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 will include 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. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
