I'm Toni | Cat Sitting in Portland, OR
I love being a fur Momma! I have two kitties right now who were rescues as kittens and now 12. I’m comfortable with various types of energy levels, needs, play time and snugglefests. I know how to adjust my energy to befriend intensely shy angels to attention hounds and know how to balance the two so that everyone gets loving attention. I’ve done meds, vet visits, eye drops, wound treatment, separate ...

Dorothy
I've known Toni for almost 4 years. She is one of the kindest, approachable people I know. She is friendly, saying hello to people and asking about their day, and listening if they need to talk. She's owned cats for half her life and she gives top priority to their care. She is attentive to cats' needs, is very knowledgeable about them and how to interact with them, and treats them kindly and gently. One of her cats was one of the shyest cats I've ever met. With gentle encouragement, Toni encouraged the cat to come out of her shell, and now the cat lies in her lap on top of a blanket, which she won't do for any other humans. If there's something about a cat she doesn't understand, Toni will do thorough research on the topic. She is very communicative with people too. If something comes up that causes a change in plans, or she needs help with something, Toni will speak up. She won't just ignore the problem or say nothing about the problem and let people get surprised by it later. Toni also has strong attention-to-detail and pays attention to subtle things or changes. With cat sitting for her friends, she sends updates several times a day about how the cat's doing. She makes sure it's well-cared for, feels comfortable, and gives it a lot of attention. I would describe her as somewhat of a cat whisperer.

Toni was an excellent catsitter for my two cats. She is thorough, timely, trustworthy, and very professional. I always knew she would do her best to support their wellness when I was gone, and to give them caring attention as well.

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 $31.00. 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.
