I'm Jennifer | Cat Sitting in Portland, OR

I am an animal lover and adore cats. I grew up with lots of pets and have had cats all of my adult life, rescuing a tabby kitten and a 1yr old calico. I started cat sitting in my early teens. I appreciate and respect cats varying personalities and independence and love each every one. I have had to manage multiple medications for my cats, including pills, drops, ointments and inhalers and am very gentle and soothing when disturbing meds. I know first hand how important it is to know that your pets are safe and cared for while you’re away. I will provide a summary of each visit, send pics/ vi...

Learn More About Jennifer

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have a 9 year old Calico named Sage, who is absolutely adorable and the most loving cat I’ve ever known. Sage has a beautiful, soft coat and loves being brushed with the firminator. Sage enjoys playing fetch with balls, springs and toy mice. She greets me at the door when I get home and loves a good belly rub. She adores everyone she meets and lets them know it!

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

A meet and greet is important for you, your cat, and the sitter. Giving your precious kitty a chance to meet the sitter with you present will help your cat trust the sitter when they come back when you’re away. It also helps the sitter to understand where everything is and make sure they have all instructions needed. And, of course, it’s always great for you to meet the sitter in person to get to know them and give you some peace of mind that your cat is in good hands.

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

I give cats their space and let them take their time coming to me. I will sit calmly on the floor and not make any sudden moves. When the cat does approach, I always let them smell my hand first before attempting to pet them. I acknowledge that it’s their space and let them take their time getting comfortable with me.

I can't recommend Jennifer highly enough as a cat sitter! Her love for animals shines through in everything she does. She has a natural ability to connect with cats, making them feel safe and comfortable in her care. Jennifer is responsible, attentive, and always goes the extra mile to ensure each pet’s needs are met. Knowing she’s looking after my fur babies gives me complete peace of mind. She truly is a wonderful cat sitter.

The Meowtel Promise & Satisfaction Guarantee

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations. For reservations where each visit is at or above $20 and paid for through Meowtel, your cat(s) will automatically be covered under our insurance policy in the event that things don't go as planned.

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 $31.00. 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.
