As a current and lifelong cat companion, I have experienced kittens, mature cats, ferals, rescues, and everyone in between. I have volunteered with cat projects, taking in many strays, and am currently domesticating some ferals.
Im mature, responsible, and experienced. I enjoy meeting new cats, hanging out and caring for them. I want them to feel loved while they are in my care. My goal is to mimic a cats routine and make them feel as safe, as secure and as comfortable as I can while thier people are away.
A typical visit includes feeding, changing the water, cleaning the litter box and spending as much time playing or cuddling as possible. I have experience in administering most medications if needed, as well.

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 $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!

Holly is a phenomenal and trustworthy pet sitter. She loves animals, knows how to care for them, and always makes sure I know my pet is safe and well taken care of. Holly has stayed at my house multiple times, and is always very respectful of the space. She’s a great communicator, and sends the best pictures!
