Cat Sitting in Portland, OR
Iām Fear Free Certified and trained in low-stress handling. Iām comfortable administering oral medications and caring for shy, senior, or medically complex cats.

Iām Diamond, a Veterinary Assistant working in a busy small animal clinic with both dogs and cats. I love dogs, but cats have always been my favorite and my specialty.
Iām Fear Free Certified and trained in low-stress handling. Iām comfortable administering oral medications and caring for shy, senior, or medically complex cats.
Through my veterinary experience, Iām trained to recognize subtle changes in appetite, behavior, breathing, and litter box habits. I understand whatās normal versus concerning in cats. If something seems off, Iāll communicate promptly and clearly.
During visits, I provide:
ā¢ Clean litter boxes & fresh food/water
ā¢ Play and enrichment tailored to your cat
ā¢ Calm companionship (or respectful space)
ā¢ Detailed updates with photos
I genuinely love earning a catās trust ā whether that means playtime, quiet company, or just sitting nearby while they decide Iām safe.
I absolutely worship my own cats and will treat yours with the same love, patience, and attentiveness. My goal is simple: your cat feels secure, and you feel completely at ease while youāre away.
Learn More About Diamond
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
I like to start with a meet-and-greet so I can get to know your catās routine, personality, and any medical needs. Weāll go over feeding instructions, litter setup, hiding spots, and anything that helps them feel comfortable. During visits, I stick closely to their normal routine to keep things low-stress. After each visit, I send thoughtful updates with photos so you can relax knowing theyāre doing well.
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
Your catās safety is always my top priority. I double check doors, windows, and any potential escape risks at every visit before I leave. Because of my veterinary experience, Iām also attentive to subtle changes in behavior or health and will communicate quickly if something seems off. I treat every home with care and leave it exactly as I found it secure and tidy.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I approach timid or anxious cats with patience and deep respect for their boundaries. I move slowly, avoid direct staring, and allow them to initiate interaction at their own pace. I use Fear Free, low-stress handling techniques and carefully read body language to make sure they feel safe. I never force interaction , building trust gently is always my priority.

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!
