I'm Cassie
Cat Sitting in Portland, OR
Working with Meowtel has helped me so much, as I can only work my main job part time due to a chronic pain condition. I am very grateful for new and repeat clients as they are the reason I’m able to afford medical care and life expenses.❤️
Learn More About Cassie
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I’ve had cats around since I was a baby, always growing up with one around. Since I was 7 years old I’ve been caring for cats personally and petsitting exclusively other people’s animals since I was 19.
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
The comfort and love that cats can give is unmatched. Being able to meet so many different personalities and attitudes of cats is my absolute favorite.
Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?
Currently on and off looking after a sweet 17 yr old kitty who’s very vocal and affectionate. She has warmed up to me so much when she doesn’t usually with anyone but her owner.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I had a sweet kitty named Eric for 11 years who I lost in March 2025. I miss him everyday. I did get a kitten back in November 2025 who is a black and brown tabby named Wellington, I also live with my boyfriend and his orange tabby Tony.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?
Communication is key! Someone who will be vigilant of their eating and bathroom habits if their behavior ever changes. Someone who is familiar with cat body language and knows how to handle different personalities in cats.
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
Knowing their exact daily schedule and trying to replicate it as close as possible. Respecting their specific requests on how to care for their cat, I always ask questions and pay attention to small details.
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
Locating all cats first, and ensuring all doors and windows are locked and closed before leaving. Being mindful of leaving doors open too long if they are indoor only cats.
Are you usually available during holidays?
I’m open to holidays and usually in the area. Major holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas I will only be available for drop ins.
What is your favorite cat toy?
Treat puzzles, it’s the best enrichment for them! Anything wand based or moving toy to keep them active and moving if they are high energy.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
Gaining their trust with treats (approved by owner of course) and slowly introducing myself to them, letting them warm up to me at their own pace. I’m very good with shy and anxious cats, I’m very patient and always determined to have them gain my trust.

Cassie did an amazing job. She went above and beyond to make sure my cats were comfortable and safe. When she went over the second day, she saw that I had an ant infestation in the cat food, and she made sure to clean it up and prevent ants from getting into the cat food. The next day she even brought some ant bait for me and put it in cat-safe places. The whole time she was communicative and kind, and always thinking of the cats!

Cassie has restored my faith in sitters. After back to back failures, Cassie came into my cats lives and made it sunshine! She was great with all four of them. Our anxiety baby came and cuddled her and she went above and beyond in all aspects. So SO thankful. I am such a nervous mom and she never made me feel crazy or feel bad for asking questions. Her response time, willingness, and honesty means I'll be begging her to come back whenever we're gone.

Cassie was great! She checked in during each visit and kept us updated on how each of our cats was doing. Leaving town and trusting someone new to care for our fur babies is always a bit nerve-wracking, but Cassie quickly put our minds at ease. Her communication, reliability, and genuine care made all the difference. We felt so much better knowing our cats were in such good hands.

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!
