I'm Lara | Cat Sitting in Portland, OR
Throughout my life, I've had many cat roommates. I love getting to know each cat's individual personality and go out of my way to say "Hi" when a potential new furry friend crosses my path. I have experience with giving cats medication including eye/ear drops, oral medication, topical ointments, and subcutaneous fluids. I am also very comfortable with handling multiple litter boxes, making sure the boxes and surrounding areas are tidy, and cleaning up messes that require enzyme cleaners. In addition to caring for your kitties, I am comfortable with watering your plants, bringing in the mail and packages, and taking out the trash when it is needed. I really enjoy the process of attaching a cat's personality to their name. I've lived with kitties named Fruitcake, Muffin, Lady, White Schmoa (AKA Koshka), and Brown Schmoa. I like how a cat's personality and cuteness become permanently attached to the name (which is usually creative and always cute as well!), creating a perfect match between the two. When getting to know your cat(s) I am patient and versed in cat body language. My top priority is making sure a cat is comfortable and well-loved. Aelfwynn, my furry...
Lara's Reviews
Emma
Lara was a great cat sitter! She was kind, flexible, communicative, and detail-oriented. All the anxiety I had from being away from my cat was made better by the daily messages, updates, and cute photos from Lara. I really loved having her as my cat sitter and appreciated how much she cared. Both myself and my kitty loved Lara and will book with her again!
Mickey
I've used multiple people to sit for my cats both here on Meowtel and elsewhere and yet I've never seen any of them get my formerly street cats to engage with them as much as Lara did. She's amazing without being intrusive to their space.
Emily
It was my first time leaving our senior cat alone for a few days. We usually board him. He was the same cranky cat when we got home as he always is! Lara was a GREAT playmate, super communicative, our cat snuggled her like she was an old friend. Such peace of mind! Will definitely book Lara again.
Courtney
Lara is amazing with our five kitties - they love her and we do too!
Alexandra
Lara did a great job - my cats immediately trusted her. She sent detailed updates and left my place sparkling clean!

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 $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. 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.
