Cat Sitting in Portland, OR

🐾Hello! My name is Li (she/her). I live in the Buckman area with my partner and our beloved cats Pickle and Poki. I work remotely as a translator, which gives me the flexibility to pursue my passion for cat-sitting. In my free time, I volunteer with the Portland Animal Welfare Team (PAW Team), where we provide vital veterinary services to pets of people experiencing houselessness or extreme poverty.

I’m grateful for the opportunity to meet and care for your cat(s), and I always strive to provide them with the best care possible!

🐈‍⬛WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT:
As a cat mom, I understand your concerns when you are away from your feline babies. When I meet your cat(s), I make sure to understand their distinct personality, respect their boundaries, and ensure they feel safe around me.

During my visits, your cat(s) will have my full attention. I will follow your care routines and respect your house rules. I will spend quality time with your cat(s) and provide photos and videos to keep you posted...

🙋🏻‍♀️MORE ABOUT ME:
I’m a bilingual translator, fashion designer, and artist. I love art, nature, culture, yoga—and of course, cats! 😻

Growing up, I had 2 dogs, 3 guinea pigs and 4 bunnies, and I never anticipated that I would become a devoted cat lover. However, everything changed when I adopted my first cat Pickle from a shelter in LA - I have completely transformed into a cat person! I adore cats for their exquisite beauty and intelligence. They're not just adorable pets but also astute creatures who understand emotions. I appreciate how my cats can sense my mood and provide companionship when I need it the most. Their presence can instantly lift my mood and their affection make me feel so loved. I cannot imagine my life without cats!

Thank you for taking the time to read my bio 😸 I look forward to meeting your cat(s)!

This was a second visit, and I was really grateful that Li proactively asked if there were any things I'd change from how things went on the first visit. In this case, there wasn't, but I appreciated the thoughtful window to give feedback as that has been awkward with some past catsitters who missed some details. Li gave thorough updates each day about our kitties, and our house was in good order and locked up securely when we got home. We really appreciate her being on top of the details, for example, we share a mailbox with other tenants on the property and she has been great at only bringing in our mail and leaving the neighbors' out in the box. Thanks Li! See you again later this summer!

Li is an amazing cat sitter who my cat adores. She goes above and beyond to make the owner and cat feel comfortable when seperated. She noticed a smoke alarm chirping due to low battery, let me know immediately, and fixed the situation which made the kitty and me feel very relieved. Li is very detail-oriented, attentive, and someone you can trust to take great care of your cat!

I’ve had Li as my trusted cat sitter for over a year now. She’s extremely professional and kind. My boy Momiji who tends to be shy instantly loved her. There’s something special about Li and I am forever grateful to her. The cats are always happy when we get back home and Li always sends tons of the BEST photos of the babies while we’re away. Thank you Li!

Li was such a great communicator, and instantly bonded with my cat. She made me feel very much at ease to leave my older kitty with medication needs in her very capable hands! I have had sitters in the past that left me feeling way more stressed while traveling and I'm happy to say my experience with Li was quite the opposite. I would highly recommend Li and will definitely book again!

Li was very professional and easy to work with. My cats absolutely loved her- which is a bit unusual- they are so shy! she changed the water and engaged with them. I would not hesitate to book her again if needed.

We requested Li again for an extended period of care and she was amazing. When we returned our cats were happy and healthy. I think our cats miss her.

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 free 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 free Meet & Greet!
