Learn More About Sarah

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

What I enjoy most about cat sitting is getting to meet and spend time with new cats, each with their own quirks, preferences, and personality. It’s so rewarding to earn their trust and figure out what makes them feel safe, happy, and loved while their humans are away.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

I always double-check that all doors and windows are secure before leaving and make sure the home is left just as I found it. I keep a close eye on the cat’s behavior and environment to spot any signs of stress or illness early. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding, medications, and litter box maintenance. I also provide regular updates and photos to their humans so they know everything is going smoothly. Safety and comfort, for both the cat and the home, are always my top priorities.

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

For timid or anxious cats, I let them set the pace and give them plenty of space to feel comfortable. I avoid sudden movements and loud noises, speaking softly and calmly. I might sit quietly nearby without forcing interaction, allowing them to approach when ready. I use familiar toys or treats to build trust gradually and always respect their boundaries. Creating a calm, predictable environment helps reduce their anxiety, and I’m patient, knowing that trust takes time. My goal is to make them feel safe and secure during every visit.

Sarah has cared for my cat Maggie many times, always coming by so Maggie could stay comfortable at home. She’s a thoughtful and experienced pet owner herself, with three cats of her own, so she really understands animals and their routines. Sarah is attentive, reliable, and clearly loves what she does - seeing how lovey Maggie is when Sarah comes by is a testament to that too. I always feel totally at ease knowing my girl is in her care.

I can rely on Sarah to both care for our elderly cats and be respectful of our home. Her communication is good, and as a bonus she sends beautiful pictures of our kitties while we are away!

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 $27.00. 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.
