I'm Claire | Cat Sitting in Portland, OR
Hi, I'm Claire (they/she)! I believe that every cat has their own special personality and quirks that make them unique. Earning a cat's trust is so important in creating a solid bond. I am skilled at helping shy kitties warm up to me and feel comfortable. I also am happy to give more social cats all the pets and cuddles they crave. I know it can be stressful to leave your kitty behind when you go out of town and I'm here to ease those worries! I will happily send photo and/or video updates and texts while your cat is in my care. Cats have been a part of my life since I was in elementary school. My parents taught me to care for my two cats when I was very young and I've carried those skills into adulthood. One of those kitties, Jasmine, lived with me for her final years during and after college. She had kidney disease and was on a veterinary diet. She was the most amazing companion animal.

Claire provides consistently phenomenal care for our cats. We won’t hesitate to book with her again. She has charmed one expert hider and one very choosy boss. She also manages my cats oral medication with no issues!

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.
