Works With Agressive And Anxious Cats

I'm Hailey

Cat Sitting in Portland, OR

Hello all, my name is Hailey. I have been a pet sitter for 6 years. I am also a cat mom to two boys, a shy 2-year-old and an aggressive medically complicated 12-year-old. Through them, I have learned how to better read cat body language and be respectful of boundaries while still providing essential care and meditations. I treat every cat I meet as one of my own and provide the best care I can. I am not afraid to work with angry cats and am willing to come over for extra meet and greets to gain their trust and ensure their comfort... Hello all, my name is Hailey.

My goal as a pet sitter is to make sure you and your pets feel as safe as possible while you are away.

Learn More About Hailey

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have two boy cats. My medically complicated grumpy 12 year old named Einstein and my shy two year old named Smokey

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

My advice is to know your cat. Some cats don’t like it when people wear hats, some don’t like dogs, and some are cool with anyone and everything. When hiring a cat sitter these nuances are important. If the sitter has dogs at home let them know your cat is dog aggressive so they can make sure there is no dog smell on their clothes. These small thing and make a big difference when it comes to building a relationship with your cat and making sure they feel safe and secure while you are gone.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes, I don’t often leave town for holidays and a try plan any out of town “holiday” trips for either before or after the holidays to be available for both cat sitting clients and my day job so folks can have time to spend with their own families.

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

When cats are especially timid I respect their space. I will try to be a calm energy in their environment coax them out with treats or toys. But if that doesn’t work I will just sit in the room they are in and do a quiet activity (usually sudoku) and put their favorite toys or treats next to me. This shows them that I am a safe person and lets them come to me when they are ready.

Hailey watched our three kitties while we we’re away. One of our cats had been recently diagnosed with a urinary issue so Hailey’s experience with her own cat’s urinary issues made us feel much more comfortable traveling. She is very responsive, caring, and respectful. We came back to a tidy home and happy kitties!

Hailey was very kind and thorough with our two kitties during their evening-meal visits. Our extremely shy cat even became her friend—which is a real feat—as he rarely takes to newbies! Big😻Thanks to our Hailey Cat Friend!

Absolutely fantastic cat sitter! Hailey took amazing care of my cats, Avo and Mochi, while I was away. She went above and beyond to make sure both of them were comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I got daily updates and adorable photos that really gave me peace of mind. It was clear from the start that Hailey genuinely loves animals and takes the job seriously — the apartment was spotless when I returned, the litter boxes were clean, food and water were fresh, and my cats were calm and content (which says a lot!). I’d recommend Hailey to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, and communicative. I’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future. — Bernie

She did a great job looking over my stressed out cat for a few days while I was away. She was super willing to trade keys early in the morning, which I was concerned about.

Hailey was wonderful. Very attentive to my instructions, great at playtime with my kitty. Sent me amusing updates, with heartwarming photos and videos. Everything was clean and tidy when I returned, like I'd never been gone. Highly recommended!

I was recently out of the country for a month and it would not have been possible to be away so long without Hailey. She understood my cats needs and made her feel comfortable and safe during my extended travels. Hailey is thoughtful and goes out of her way to take care of your cat and place. You should definitely check her out if you get the chance to book her!

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 $30.00. 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 free 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 free Meet & Greet!
