Learn More About Megan

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I've been sitting for cats and dogs since early 2016 and have had many word of mouth clients as well before coming to Meowtel in 2022. I've always had cats and have been responsible for family member's cats before moving into a more professional role.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Getting to know their different personalities. I feel most comfortable hanging with cats all day and genuinely look forward to spending my time with them. I also enjoy taking photographs and spamming their owners with cute overload.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

One giant chonk named Frankie. She's a lover but also extremely independent so she's been a great companion to have as a pet sitter. She gets plenty of company at home while I'm gone from my roomie and her pets, but I always treat her as a drop in visit when I'm spending overnights away.

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

Transparency and communication are key. Don't be afraid to set expectations and don't be afraid to turn someone away for not meeting them. There will be another sitter out there that will exceed your expectations.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

I gauge where they need reassurance the most, especially if it's their first time leaving their new cat. If they are concerned about separation anxiety, I provide my full schedule at the meet and greet to make sure I will be present enough for the client. If they are nervous about me successfully dispensing medication, I will be sure to bring it up in each check-in. I share lots of photos to help sooth the separation anxiety for the parent.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

No outside doors are left open or unlocked. I ask about the security of screens when sitting during the summertime. Cats do not exit the home in my care, even if they normally do with their parents. I do not feed them anything outside their parent-approved diet. I keep all cabinets closed, all cleaning products hidden after use, all internal doors left open. I like when a client has cameras if I'm not staying overnight. You never know with cats.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes. I have family in Michigan and therefore have no holiday plans arranged.

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

I always let the cat come to me. I will sit and play calming music on my phone the first few minutes of a visit with a new cat. I won't pay them any attention while moving around to scoop and feed until they are ready to associate with me. I will not pet until I receive a head butt. Each visit I start this process from the beginning until trust is earned. If treats are in their diet, I will use treats for positive reinforcement, but never for bribery. As soon as they start feeling more comfortable, I'll bring a toy into the mix and see if they let their guard down enough to play. My lap is always open and ready for them when they decide they are.

Megan was always prompt with updates and was overall a great communicator. My cat is timid around strangers, and she was very patient and respectful of her boundaries. I came home to a happy, healthy cat.

Megan was an incredible caretaker for our three cats. They have all big personalities requiring unique approaches and Megan was able to give each of then exactly what they needed to feel safe and cared about. Megan provided timely updates and photos and was extremely responsive even though we were in different time zones. I felt confident that my cats were in the best hands and was able to enjoy my vacation without worry. Thank you, Megan!

Megan did such an amazing job with my two kitties. I just moved into a new place and immediately had to leave town for a wedding, so I was nervous that my boys would be under the bed the whole time that I was gone. Luckily they weren’t because Megan knew exactly what to do! Thank you! 💙

Meowtel offers a smooth, simple process for booking. Megan was available for my cats needs, was very responsive during booking, while I was away, and after my return. She did all the things I'd hoped for, some without asking...highly intuitive and super helfpul! No question that I'll book with her again if she's available!

Megan was fantastic, she sat our two boys for 4 days and they were taken care of the whole time. Megan went above and beyond, with her care, sent us lots of pictures, and left our place better than she found it. She is a prompt communicator, visits at a consistent time each day, and the cats loved her Very trustworthy sitter, we'll be calling her for our next sit!

Megan was great! Looked after our cats while we were out on a long vacation and took great care of them. She communicated well and sent pictures of the cats with her visits. She also helped with other things like feeding our koi and cleaning leaves out of the pond. I highly recommend her if you are looking for a cat sitter and we will be using her again for future trips.

Megan did an excellent job watching our two senior cats. One of our cats requires a pill each morning which Megan had no issue administrating in his food. She even let us know when one of the cats had a loose stool and hairball. Highly recommend Megan!

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 $28.00. 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.
