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 distributing meds.

I know first hand how important it is to know that your pets are safe and cared for while you’re away... I am an animal lover and adore cats.

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 distributing 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/ videos, provide food and water (including authorized treats), clean out the litter box, make time for play, and give lots of cuddles to your cat while you’re away. I’m also willing to take care of other home tasks as needed and agreed.

I work part time as a financial consultant for non-profits in the Portland metro area, and I am willing to work with you on scheduled visits to make sure your cat is properly cared for while you’re away. I am fully COVID 19 vaccinated.

I am trustworthy, punctual, patient, respectful and caring and please know that I will care for your cat(s) as if it/they were my own.

Learn More About Jennifer

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have an 11 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.

Jennifer is the best catsitter I’ve ever had to watch my pet/s. She was professional and caring from start to finish. She time-stamped her visits; set copious pictures and videos; detailed my cats mood and health; thoroughly cleaned up any cat messes; answered questions promptly. In the initial meeting, my cat approached her and even showed Jennifer her beautiful white belly after some treats and chin scratches, a rarity. Jennifer earned my confidence and won the affection of my cat. I also liked Meowtels app for communicating and the company allied any worries I had ensuring my pets care and opening my home to a total stranger.

Jennifer was amazing! She was with the cats every morning and took photos of the food and water dishes, cat boxes, etc. She made sure that everything was spotless in the kitchen and around the litter boxes. I highly recommend Jennifer and have already booked her for my next out of town trip.♥️

Jennifer did a wonderful job with my four cats during a recent trip. She was responsive during an issue with my door lock, and went above and beyond to make sure that my cats were taken care of.

Jennifer is an absolutely amazing petsitter. She has been so responsible and reliable! She’s been my sitter twice and I get daily updates and photos from her. I am worry-free for my out of town trips since I found her. I will definitely have her petsit for me in the future.😉

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!
