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's Reviews
Nicole
As someone who had never used a service or pet sitter before, I was understandably nervous going into it. But the opportunity to meet with Claire in advance, and her ability to reassure me that my cats would be well cared for made me feel comfortable with the process. I loved the daily updates and photos! Will definitely use Claire again next time Iβm away.
Jenny
Claire did a great job with our 3 kitties who really seemed to like her! She took the time to play with them and was very responsive!
Beth
When you hire someone like Claire, you don't just get a friendly person who will make sure all the kitty bowls are filled, you get real peace of mind. I suffer from tremendous anxiety when I'm away from my boys and knowing that they were well taken care of by someone who legitimately likes them was a massive weight off of my mind while we were traveling. With no hyperbole, I can say that it dramatically improved the quality of our vacation -- and best of all, our kitties had a great time while were gone!

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
