Learn More About Crystal

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Feline companionship. I get to spend quality time with adorable cats. It is rewarding to build trust with a timid cat and see them become comfortable and playful around me. Every cat has its own quirks and personality. I get to meet a variety of furry friends, each with something special to offer. Giving cat parents peace of mind knowing that their feline companions are well cared for while they are away.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Sir Wolfgang von Stealth, the 18-year-old patriarch, presides over his kingdom from his window sanctuary. Following the passing of his 21 year old brother Sir Gustav the Incessant last year, Wolfgang received two new subjects: the playful Sir Fritz the Decisive and Bold (1 year), and the cuddlesome Sir Frank Dainty Peets, Master of Snuggle (10 months). While Fritz and Frank engage in playful duels, Wolfgang observes with seasoned wisdom from his plush divan.

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

Know your cat's needs. Making a list of your cat's routine, dietary requirements, medications, and any quirks or anxieties they might have. Set a budget. Determine how much you are comfortable spending on cat sitting services. Consider the frequency of visits, duration of your absence, and any additional services needed. Get referrals from family, friends, your veterinarian, neighbors, your local animal shelter, on-line resources, etc. Look for someone with experience caring for cats. Inquire about pet first-aid and CPR certifications, and knowledge of cat behavior. Schedule a meet and greet with the sitter before you leave. This allows your cat to get comfortable and gives you a chance to assess their personality and fit. Provide detailed instructions on feeding, litter box scooping, playtime, any medications, and emergency contact information. Discuss how often you'd like updates on your cat and if you'd like pictures or video chats.

Crystal did a great job taking care of our shy cat Pearl while we were away! She was able to get Pearl to come out of her shell and play. She even took in some packages that arrived early. Thank you Crystal!

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 $33.00. 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.
