Learn More About Rachel

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

I've been cat sitting for about a year, though I've been fostering and involved with cat rescue for about 7. I've cared for cats with all kinds of medical needs and social levels.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Mouse is the queen who runs the house and is our only "traditional" adoption. Taco is from Mexico, we adopted him from the Humane Society in Cozumel. He's the wildest of the bunch. Pumpkin was supposed to be a hospice foster situation but we were actually able to get him lifesaving treatment. He's a permanent family member now. Pandora was the first cat I ever TNRed. She wasn't social when I trapped her so she was released and I took care of her outside in a little colony for 3 years. When I moved to Portland she was friendly enough to move inside and come with.

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

Totally depends on the cat, but going at their pace is a must. Often times when people try too hard it makes the cats uncomfortable. Somethings I'll do are casually start playing with a toy, sit quietly in the same room as the nervous kitty, offer treats, and slow blinks.

Rachel took excellent care of my little beasts. They each needed meds each day and she was able to deal with that and still give them a fun time. Her attention to detail and her observations were so helpful, and I felt like I could relax a little on my trip knowing my kitties were being taken care of so well. I would highly recommend Rachel to any cat-haver, especially those with special needs like meds twice a day!

Rachel has been professional, warm, responsive, thoughtful, thorough, and most importantly kind to my cats. She was exactly what we were looking for and desperately needed for my diabetic senior cat and high energy young man who enjoys his leash and we will be going back to her for a long time.

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 $27.00. 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.
