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

I started cat sitting with Meowtel September of 2024, but I have been watching friends’ cats for decades. I also have had my own cats since I was a kid and when I moved out on my own

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love being able to meet so many new cats! I genuinely love cats with all my heart, and they are my favorite animal. I also enjoy being able to give you peace of mind while you’re away that your furry pal is being well taken care of so you can enjoy your trip or focus on work, whatever your need may be!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Dolce (like the fashion brand) - Miss Dolce Marie is a 14 year old princess. She is a domestic shorthair tortoise shell and she is my shadow. Dolce has a split colored nose/face, where one half is an orange cat and the other is the classic brown tabby. Ozzy is the baby of the family, he recnrtly turned five years old in April. He’s a tuxedo boy and has black freckles on his nose. He loves to stand up on his back legs to see who’s outside and what’s going on. Ozzy also loves to sit in boxes and has his own box that I cannot recycle or he would be sad. Both of these guys are super chatty and love to greet me at the door when I get home from work or running errands. I’ve had both since they were two months old.

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

We will set up a time for a free meet and greet, and for me to grab your key. At that time I’ll have you show me where the kitty esstenials are and the routine you’d like for me to go through with them. This is also be a good opportunity for you to ask me questions as well!

Are you usually available during holidays?

I stay in town for the holidays, so always free for the holidays. Only holiday I may be unavailable for is the 4th of July, Dolce is scared of the fireworks so I stay home to comfort her.

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

For shy/anxious cats I would never crowd them or seek them out. I would sit quietly and allow them to come out and feel comfortable around me. I also would go about freshening water, scooping litter, and re-upping kibble as you would when home as to give them some sense of normalcy. It’s okay to be shy!

Kimberlee did a great job taking care of my 17 year old cat. She was able to get him to play a little bit and to take his medications! She was very responsive and kept me up to date on everything. Very much appreciated that!

Kimmy was absolutely fantastic! She was a great and timely communicator and was a pleasure to work with. Our senior cat Leia just had surgery when Kimmy was checking in on her and was able to give her medications and Leia very quickly trusted her. Kimmy also sent some awesome pics and it made me feel so comfortable that Leia was in good hands. I would 100% trust Kimmy with Leia again!

Kimee was absolutely amazing, such a gem. She was very communicative & spent time at our initial meeting to make sure I felt comfortable with her. She sent really sweet photos & updates right away with visits & by the end had my shy cat greeting her at the door. You can tell that she is truly a cat person & really loves caring for & meeting other kitties. Definitely recommend!

Kimberlee took amazing care of our cat while we were away for a week. She kept us informed, followed all instructions and we came home to a neat and tidy house and a well-cared-for cat. I can't recommend her enough!

Kimmy did a great job with Freckle and my place! I could tell from the pics that Freckle was getting a lot of playtime and snuggles. also, Kimmy cleaned up some vomit (thank you!) and bought us a new dustpan when ours broke as she was cleaning the litter box area. Would definitely book again!

Kimmy gets an A+ across the board! We couldn't be happier with every aspect of her service. She is very friendly, paid attention to detail, always responded quickly, and certainly loves cats. She also went above and beyond by cleaning up a mess the cats made. I would definitely hire her again!

Kimmy took great care of our kitties when we were gone. Our little reserved kitty and Kimmy shortly became best friends. We got updates with pictures, and would continue to book with Kimmy in the future, if we are out of town. Rest assured, your cats will be well taken care of.

I always feel comfortable leaving my 3 cats in Kimberlee’s care. I know that even with a cat who has some litter box and stress issues, I will always come home to a clean house and well fed, loved cats. My cats seem to barely notice we were gone when she watches them!

Frequently Asked Questions

Portland cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $29.00. 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 you can find the best options which are close by.

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 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
