Leo did a really wonderful job with our kitties! Our shy kitty seemed to feel comfortable, which was heartwarming to see. We really appreciate Leo’s great attention to detail, including about how our cats did eating-wise and so much more! The photo and video updates were great. Leo’s close attention and love for kitties really put our minds at ease while we were away. We look forward to working with Leo again!

Leo was amazing as always! They expertly got our pretty shy kittens to warm up and get excited to see Leo arrive each day. Leo’s excellent photos and detailed updates are always lovely and reassuring. We appreciate Leo being pathogen-conscious too!

Leo truly went above and beyond from the beginning. While Leo requires a higher rate for my area of town, I went with them because they had the highest amount of top ratings for the dates I was gone. It was so worth it. Their attention to the details of my notes at our first meeting impressed me, down to remembering the name of our pet fish. I could tell from the daily pics that my kitty was relaxed and trusting. On the last visit, Leo even tidied up, which I was not expecting but appreciated. We will hire them again for sure.

Leo did a fantastic job keeping us informed from each visit. It was a relief to know that our cats were taken care of by a wonderful animal person. We would recommend her service to anyone.

Leo is truly amazing! They always capture the best moments of my kitties while I'm away. It's heartwarming to see how comfortable my cats feel with them! One of my cats is quite shy and takes awhile to warm up, but Leo is patient and never pushes for interaction. They do such a wonderful job of matching my shy cat's energy, which helps them feel relaxed enough to enjoy some pets and cuddles from Leo eventually. If there's ever an issue, Leo is quick to communicate and find a solution. I would definitely recommend booking them!

The pics were amazing, Leo even did little Christmas Day photo shoot with them!!! I didn’t have time to explain care for all my plants! (I have like 75!?) Leo took time to send pics of ones that looked like they needed care and asked to water! I HAD NO WORRIES OR STRESS!

All 3 of us (my 2 cats and I) hate being apart and experience separation anxiety. But Leo did an amazing job showering my very needy Siamese with attention and cuddles, while simultaneously charming my shy, sassy Void into coming out of her hiding spot for treats and playtime. Their photos and updates brought me peace of mind. I was even surprised with a gracious and thoughtful note when I returned. I know my two chonks will be excited to see them again next month. Thank you for the exceptional care, Leo!

Leo was incredibly communicative and detail oriented. I super appreciated her attentiveness with both of my cats while we were away. The cats seemed well taken care of and content when we returned home after our week away.

Leo was A+ with our senior cat. They were a pro at getting her to eat her full portion and coaxed her out for play and cuddles. Updates were super thorough and diligent and photos were very cute. I'd definitely recommend them!

This is my second time booking with Leo and they were once again amazing! They are great with my skittish cat and were able to medicate him with no problem. I got many updates and photos while I was away. They left the house clean and the cats were very well taken care of. I will definitely be booking again, highly recommended!

I can’t say enough good things about Leo! My two cats have some health issues, and one of them (who is generally very skittish) has to be pilled every day. I had a trip coming up that I was debating canceling because I didn’t think my usual pet sitters would be able to handle the care they now require. I was very lucky to find Leo last minute! They were great with my skittish cat and had no issues medicating him and getting him to come out of his shell (no small feat!). I was sent detailed notes, photos, and videos everyday, and I could tell my cats instantly felt comfortable with them. I was able to enjoy my trip knowing they were being very well cared for. I would highly recommend Leo and will definitely be booking again in the future!

Leo is truly amazing! They send so many detailed updates and photos, and our cat clearly loves them. They took great care of our home and our two snakes in addition to our elderly cat! They also took precautions against Covid and other illnesses which we so appreciate. Highly recommend working with Leo!

This was my fourth time booking with Leo. My two boys absolutely hate when I leave, and in true cat mom fashion, I told them not to worry because their friend Leo was coming. I received updates and photos from each visit. My boys received excellent care- from feeding, to playtime, to keeping their litter box clean, to even emptying the trash before I returned. I will absolutely be booking Leo again in the future and encourage all to do so if you want to have excellent care for your fur babies!!

Leo was so incredible!!! From the moment I met them at the meet and greet, I knew they were going to be a perfect fit for my cats. Leo paid careful attention to detail, using a shared Doc between the two of us so that we were both on the same page with the needs of the cats. They were absolutely amazing, above 5 stars. I would definitely use them again, and I know my boys would love to see them! I even saved some of the photos they sent because they were so gorgeous. Thank you Leo!!

This was my second time reserving time with Leo! They always go above and beyond taking care of my kitty. They provided me with the cutest update photos and did such a great job taking care of him. I have full trust in Leo and they always make leaving town way less stressful! Thank you so much and I look forward to the next time you take care of my little guy 😸😻

Leo is a fabulous caretaker for our kitties. Their updates are very detailed and informative including noting any changes in behavior or appearance. This is super helpful for our girls who struggle with allergies and constipation so Leo could care for them as needed day to day. They were able to administer oral syringe medication to our resistant kitty as well! We would not hesitate to book them again.

Sylvia
I don't even know what to say. I have a formal feral rescue cat who hates everyone and hides, and LEO—the cat charmer—got her to come out, allow pets, and even give head bumps! She is the empathetic cat whisperer and my new favorite person so that I can actually leave my house without feeling terrified and sad. Myaktah Pyewacket, the high-maintenance roommate and best fur friend, now has a secondary friend. I can honestly say this is someone I would like to know on a personal level. Absolutely UNBELIEVABLE.

Leo exceeded my expectations when they recently stayed overnight for 3 nights of cat sitting. I have 2 cats, one of them is on twice daily meds and has some mild behavior issues. Leo was great about checking in a couple of times a day with photos and updates on how everything was going. I could tell from our interactions that Leo had read and understood the detailed instructions I had left on the meds, feeding and Kitten’s behavior issues. My cats really took to Leo, they were able to draw out my shyer cat by playing with her favorite toy. What I wasn’t expecting was to return home to an apartment that was cleaner than I had left it. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with Leo again, and in fact have already booked them again. Leo truly is the best cat sitter we’ve ever had.

I’m thankful Leo was able to spend some time with my cat while I was gone. They sent many photos of her and made sure she was fed with wet food and had enough time to play around with. However, I wish Leo was more detail-oriented. during the meet-and-greet, they didn’t take any notes. while I provided a separate instruction document for them to read, they still had to ask a few critical question I already provided.

Hiring Leo was one of the best decisions my wife and I made in the past five years. Leo was at the same time extremely professional and very loving to our cats. One of our cats runs and hides whenever someone new comes over, however Leo had that cat hanging out on their shoulders by the end of their second day together. Leo‘s updates were frequent and filled with details, they handled everything extremely well and sent tons of updates and photos. We felt completely at ease while we were on vacation. Our cats had grown up during the pandemic and were used to inordinate amounts of affection and pets all day long from us, so when we went on our first out-of-town trip we were very concerned about how much the cats would freak out in our absence. But Leo took care of everything and made the cats feel safe and loved. Leo stayed overnight 3 nights in a row and kept them company and gave them tons of cuddles, and treated the house with respect. At the end of their stay, Leo cleaned up in a way that was beyond our expectations. We will absolutely hire Leo again and we recommend them without hesitation.

Leo was so great to work with, one thing right off the bat that I appreciated was the “heads-up” chat with each ETA for daily visits. I loved the pics of my kitties greeting them upon the visits. I was grateful to hear they were eating and drinking well while I was away and those daily updates gave me reassurance that the kitties were well cared for. I loved to hear all of the play updates, pics, and videos as well as the observations on their behavior (head butts, cheek bumps, high jumps) and it made me feel good that they were so playful and engaging with Leo. Prior to departure on the last day one very kind and unexpected thing Leo did was wipe down and sanitize all touch surfaces, light switches, sinks, counters and toilets so my house was “sparkling” on my return – which it sure was! I thought that was so nice and thoughtful, really over the top! Thank you Leo!

I recently used a cat sitter for the first time for my two cat babies and was quite nervous at first! One of them was recently diagnosed with diabetes and needs special attention and insulin given at a certain time. I was lucky to have Leo taking care of my boys and all of my nerves were calmed! They both received excellent care, attention, and love. Medication administration was not an issue and I had good confidence that my baby cat would get his meds on time and administered properly. Leo communicated very well and each visit I got many photos. I will definitely be booking Leo again to care for my boys!

Leo did a wonderful job caring for my shy kitty, and went above and beyond in deep cleaning her litter box and food area and making sure she had everything she needed while my husband and I were out of town for a long trip. I will definitely feel comfortable leaving my cat in their care the next time I’m out of town!

We had never hired a cat sitter before, and WOW was I blown away by the care our kitties received from Leo. Excellent communication every single visit, photos, videos, and sweet little updates. It is clear that Leo loves and understands cats, and I felt very at ease knowing how well our babies were being cared for. We are so grateful for Leo and look forward to hiring them again.

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations. For reservations where each visit is at or above $20 and paid for through Meowtel, your cat(s) will automatically be covered under our insurance policy in the event that things don't go as planned.

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 $28.00. 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.
