Melissa truly helped me out in a bind during a last minute holiday booking. For that I can’t thank her enough. Jazz even stood on her lap at some point which rarely even happens with me

Marissa has been such a great caretaker for our fur babies over the past several years. We never have to worry about them while we are gone knowing she will take great care of them and sends great updates and photos. We appreciate her and how responsive and communicative she is

Marissa was fantastic! She did all we asked of her and more; she brought him treats and interesting toys to explore so he wouldn’t be too bored between visits. Even watered plants and brought in the mail. She’s very observant and notices when something isn’t as it should be, and quick to communicate any concerns. We couldn’t have left our fur beast in better hands. We’ll definitely have her take care of him again next time we need to leave him.

Marissa did a great job looking after our cat Lola, who can get a bit stressed and grumpy when we leave town. Marissa kept us to date with photos and updates while we were away, and also did a great job with Lola’s complicated feeding/medication routine. We would definitely recommend Marissa!!

Marissa was great, easy to work with, communicative, shared updates and videos and most importantly our cats warmed up to her quickly, which is no easy feat with one of our kitties who is extra shy with strangers. 10/10 would book Marissa again!

Marissa is a bonafide cat whisperer! My antisocial cat is in love. She is professional and caring. I came back from vacation to a happy cat.

During our meet I notified weve taken our cat to the vet 3x & has a skin condition. It got worse while we were away & reported us to the app & animal control officer. I already said we will take him to the vet when we get back. Cameras shutoff & we couldn't see what she was doing the hr she was here

Marissa was absolutely perfect as a cat sitter and definitely would recommend if you need a sitter for the short or long term! She watched my cats for 3 weeks and everything went great and was always able to provide me updates on how the cats were doing!

Marissa did a great job and I will definitely book with her again. I have a kitty who needs to be medicated daily and can be really difficult, but Marissa made she got her meds every day. We appreciate the daily update and photos.

Marissa was greay. She was very professional and responsive and took care of our shy kitty with no issues. She administered meds and was even able to draw Minnie out of hiding, a tough feat! Marissa was very communicative and sent daily updates. I would recommend her to anyone!

Marissa is wonderful! My incredibly skittish kitties didn’t run away from her on Day 1 - which is a huge deal for them. She is communicative and we are glad we found her!

This sitter was outstanding. We had unforeseen circumstances of her being locked out and she totally problem solved it and was able to gain access. She was SO thoughtful. She brought a toy over along with some treats. She sent me daily videos of my cat LOVING her. Very reliable & very competent.

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.
