Nicole was wonderful! I am an anxious cat mom of a CKD senior and Nicole was really amazing at going through all the details and nuances of her care with me during our meet and greet. During her stay she gave us multiple updates and photos and was clearly very attentive with our kitty. Nicole stayed for several overnights and left our home super clean and tidy before she left. She was extremely kind during our meeting and I know Beeps was in great hands. Would very highly recommend her to anyone! Thanks again Nicole!

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 $31.00. 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 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 Meet & Greet!

I travel a lot for work, and signed up for Meowtel to give my cat some human companionship while I'm away for a few days. Nicole was my first cat sitter. The challenge with my kitty is that he's really shy. Nicole was perfect for him. She followed my instructions perfectly, which allowed my cat to slowly approach her, determine she was safe, and receive the pets and affection he needs to stay content while I was away for three days. He would have hid and cowered from the wrong person. Nicole sent me photos and updates on my cat, ensuring he was well-cared for while I was away.

Nicole is awesome! I have a shy kitty that I worry about. He warmed up to Nicole sooner than later. Thanks for being on time, providing excellent communication and taking good care of my fur babies. Having peace of mind when out of town is a gift. See you soon!
