I'm Lesley | Cat Sitting in Portland, OR
Hi I'm Lesley (he/they)! I know as a cat parent myself how hard it can be to leave your kitty when you are traveling! I want to put your mind at ease that when you aren't there with your cat, that they are well cared for and paid attention to. I worked at a cat shelter in Chicago for three years, doing every aspect of cat care from feeding to medications. Oftentimes with hard to handle kitties, as we held many feral cats in the space. I have an affinity for shyer cats and do well with all kitties as my calm patient quiet presence lends itself well to making animals comfortable. I have also had four kitties myself, seniors and former strays so I have much experience with and love of, aging and shy cats! I feel confident in giving medications and monitoring health. I pay a lot of attention to cat's body language and behavior and any changes. I'm also just passionat...

Lesley's Reviews
Bridget
We are so happy with the care that Lesley gave our two cats! They shared multiple pictures during each visit, showing our cats enjoying feeding and play time each day. It was obvious that Lesley is very much a cat person and enjoys spending time with them. Everything was left clean and in good order. We are unfortunately no longer in Lesley's service area - otherwise we'd definitely have them back!

Lesley took great care of my shy girl and gave lots of playtime with the kittens. They also watered the garden on hot days and brought in the mail and packages. Lots of updates, photos, and speedy responses. 10/10 will book again! 😻😻😻

I always avoid travel because I’m nervous about leaving my cat alone, and I don’t know a lot of people in this city yet. When I couldn’t avoid a work trip anymore, Lesley came to the rescue by putting me and my shy kitty at ease! I was reassured by the detailed photo updates to let me know her health was normal and she was getting plenty of grooming, playtime, and cuddles. She had a minor vomit incident on her first night, and Lesley went above and beyond by cleaning it up. This was a wonderful experience. Next time I need a cat sitter, I’m booking with Lesley!

I used Meowtel.com for the first time and the process was easy. The daily communications and photos gave me the needed reassurance my son was well cared for. I will definitely use Meowtel again. Lesley was a perfect fit for son who is very shy. Lesley's calm demeanor and special understanding of shy cats was a plus. My son quickly warmed up to Lesley and I'm very grateful. Due to an issue before my return trip home I needed an extra day of service and both Meowtel and Lesley were accommodating. Lesley, thank you so much for making my son feel safe and keeping his medication regiment on schedule. Thank you again for supporting my last minute request for an expected additional day of service. I will definitely contact you in the future!
