Learn More About Natalie
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
Meeting new cats and learning their personalities! Each one is so different and unique, it's so amazing to see how they differ and how they are alike.
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
When arriving, I make sure to get eyes on each pet in the home. I make sure all doors and windows are locked and make sure I get eyes on each pet every night before leaving/sleeping. Repeat this process every day of the sit.
Are you usually available during holidays?
Yes, I don't usually celebrate most holidays so I am free. If I am not available, I make that known months in advance.

Natalie was amazing! I have 3 kitties with various levels of spice, and 2 who need daily meds, and. Natalie handled it all perfectly! She sent me daily pics and updates of all the kitties and I knew they were in great hands! I highly recommend Natalie- she has great experience, care, kindness and a deep love of critters!

Natalie is an incredibly knowledgeable cat sitter with experience from shelters, emergency vet, and grooming. She is very intuitive with animals and has always taken great care of our 3 cats despite their different needs and complicated socialization situation. She is a great communicator and I always feel completely at ease knowing Natalie is there caring for our animals and home while we are away. She is knowledgeable about their health and their happiness, and we always look forward to getting photos of our kitties from Natalie!

Natalie is a great cat sitter. She has juggled our 6 animals and their complicated feeding and medication schedules. She understands cats and has noticed things in their behaviors or physical features before we noticed something was wrong. We highly recommend Natalie for cat sitting and dropping in to say hi and care for your furry friends.

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!
