Learn More About Emily

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

I have been a cat sitter for 10 years. It all started when I was 15 and my neighbor needed help with her animals while she was gone. I fell in love!

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

To put it simply I love animals with my whole heart. I help and take care of them with every ounce of energy I have. I would say I’m a true animal lover through and through.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

My favorite reservation was meeting an elderly kitty that is diabetic. Her name was Anne and she would always hide under the bed because she knew I was there to give medication. After a while she would run to me when I came in the door instead of hiding. It’s rewarding for me and the kitty to overcome the fear they have. I earned the trust of Anne but also made a friend.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have Maya and Jax. I have had Jax since a kitten and I adopted Maya when she was one year.

Emily was absolutely terrific! My cats were a bit shy when she came for the meet & greet but by her first visit, they were besties. She keep me updated at all times & sent pictures. She listened to everything that my cats liked & went above and beyond for them. I truly could not have found a better cat sitter. I will be using her moving forward anytime I travel. She’s so sweet, kind and trustworthy. The house looked amazing when we came back which we didn’t need or expect from her but she did it anyway! 10/10

Emily did a great job of taking care of my cats for several days. It was easy to coordinate with her, and she always gave me updates and pictures. I will definitely look to Emily again the next time I need someone for the cats.

Emily was a wonderful sitter for our cat, Flux! She is responsive, thoughtful, reliable and kind. She took such great care of Flux while we were away and we would love to have her back in the future. Highly recommend Emily as a sitter!

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 $27.00. 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 we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

Every cat sitter on Meowtel has been background-checked and reviewed. Every Meowtel reservation may come 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 may come with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
