Cat Sitting in Portland, OR

Hi kitty lovers,

My name is Myra and I’ve been a cat and animal lover my whole life. I live in Northwest Portland, Slabtown (near the Pearl) and have been in this area for about two years. My neighbors who also have a cats recommended this app since I’m always volunteering to watch their cats, and I have cats of my own. I figure since I’m already kitty-sitting for friends and neighbors, why not help out others as well?! I also enjoy volunteering for a local charity, so if anyone wants to donate extra pet supplies, I can point you in their direction. On my free time, I enjoy cooking, reading, working out, organizing, doing my own manicures, and spending quality time with my kitties.

Learn More About Myra

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

I have many years of experience, both cat sitting and dog sitting and have been doing this for at least 40 years. I am passionate about providing optimal support in following the pet owner’s instructions for food, feeding schedules, administering medications, grooming, etc. I am patient and intuitive when it comes to speaking cat language-lol!

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I enjoy learning about various cat breeds, temperaments, personalities, what they like and don’t like, their favorite treats and toys, and getting to know them on a persona 1:1 basis.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

My favorite cat sitting reservation was for my neighbor next door to me whose cats started out quite reserved but warmed up to me by the time he returned from an extended vacation. Now I feel like an extended part of their family!

Myra was awesome! She took great care of my fur baby while I was camping for a few days. She spent extra time petting and brushing Lily Rose, brought her a bag of treats that her own cats enjoy. Lily is a special kitty and Myra got that. She went above and beyond and was a delight to work with. Lily and I will definitely be seeing her again!

Myra has extensive experience with cats. She owns three and would probably open up her own cat sanctuary if she could- that is how big her heart is for cats. I trust her with cats. She loves to spoil them too.

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 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!
