Cat Sitting in Portland, OR

Hi, I’m Laura, and I love cats! I have one 10-year old cat named Pisho that I adopted from the Oregon Humane Society, and she is my life! I love cats of all kind and I cannot wait to meet your beautiful creatures!

I have been cat sitting for family, friends, and clients since I was in early college, and in college I also spent a fair bit of time fostering kittens from the humane society... Hi, I’m Laura, and I love cats! I have one 10-year old cat named Pisho that I adopted from the Oregon Humane Society, and she is my life! I love cats of all kind and I cannot wait to meet your beautiful creatures!

I have been cat sitting for family, friends, and clients since I was in early college, and in college I also spent a fair bit of time fostering kittens from the humane society. I’m able to give your cat any pills/oral medications they need, topical ointments, ear drops, and insulin shots. I’d be happy to learn more about any other medical needs for your cats as well!

I am able to serve in various locations in Portland and can come out to Beaverton as well with a bit more notice. Feel free to check in with me if there is a date you need that is not currently on my calendar and I will do my best to accommodate you!

I am happy to do any plant watering, mail gathering, or light cleaning as necessary when I visit your home :)

Looking forward to meeting more beautiful cats!

Learn More About Laura

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

I like to see your kitty’s routine in action during our meet and greet. I make sure I fully understand their feeding schedule, treat preferences, where they like their water bowls or if they prefer a fountain, and anything else unique to them! No needs are too specific for me :)

What is your favorite cat toy?

Da bird, cat dancer, da bee, and of course a classic laser toy! My cat absolutely loves catnip as well ☺️

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

I literally slink around and am extremely quiet and move very slow. I try to not make any sudden movements and will usually stop what I am doing to get down to their level and let them approach at their own pace (only if they would like). I’ve found that being still, calm, and quiet helps kitties relax much easier around a new person.

Laura was so amazing! My cat sitter bailed with short notice and I’d never used Meowtel before, but she made it so easy! She was prompt, super responsible, great at communicating and sending updates/photos, and plus my cat loved her! She made being out of town so much less stressful knowing my cat was in good hands. Would definitely recommend Laura and will be having her catsit again!

Laura was so kind!! They did a great job with complicated feeding instructions, gave me thorough and helpful updates (with lots of cat pics!) and were overall a joy to work with. Will absolutely trust them with my lil man again :)

Laura did a terrific job with our cats! She administered their various medications, made sure the litter is clean, fountains are full and played with them. She even brought up our packages! When we came back from our vacation, the cats were happy and the house was clean, what more can you ask for? We will definitely book Laura again for future vacations :)

I cannot recommend Laura enough!! They were incredible! I love as very wary of having someone new look after Lil Kitty while I traveled for work, but Laura made everything so insanely easy! Incredible communication and helpful with key exchanges. Took a MILLION photos each visit. I have already booked again for future work trips!

More than 48 hours before the reservation start date: Full refund. The sitter will not receive any earnings.
24–48 hours before the reservation start date: 50% refund. The sitter will earn 50% of their planned earnings.
Within 24 hours of the reservation start date (or after it has begun): No refund. The sitter will earn 100% of their planned earnings.

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!
