I couldn't be more pleased with Mariya's help with my two kitties while I was away. Mariya sent me daily updates and multiple photos and videos of my cats playing, eating and being loved on! I am so grateful for the wonderful care she provided. I highly recommend Mariya!

Mariya took incredible care of Bo and Penelope. She braved the Portland ice storm of February 2025 to get to our house and make sure our cats were taken care of. She played with, fed, and gave attention to our two cats. Penelope is a shy/aggressive cat and she made sure that she got food and love. When we got back home, both the cats were in high spirits and did not act mad at us for having the gall to leave them. The house was in excellent condition when we got back.

Mariya was wonderful! She made the process unbelievably easy and she immediately won my kitty over. She's extremely reliable. I'll be using her services again.

Mariya took excellent care of my two senior cats! My shy cat warmed up to her quickly and was greeting her at the door halfway through my absence 😂 Was that cat charming on her part or ultimate betrayal on his? The jury is still out. My other cat got her daily bathtub faucet water (it's better than other water, you see...) during every visit and even allowed herself to be brushed, which is saying something. I'm pretty sure these two are just waiting for me to go out of town again so they can hang out with Mariya some more.

This is my second time having Mariya watch Mushu and I couldn't be happier. I feel so safe and comfortable leaving Mushu in Mariya's capable hands, but even more, Mariya goes above and beyond with the Captain. She plays with her, snuggles her and treats her like her own kitty. Instead of being stressed when we got home, Mushu was relaxed and happy. Thank you Mariya, for everyting you do!

Mariya is very responsive and easy to communicate with. She sent updates and the cutest photos immediately, and we never had to worry or ask for more information on how our cats were doing. One of our kitties can be a bit shy around new people, but she warmed up to Mariya very quickly!

Mariya is literally the best. I can’t say enough good things about her. We have 2 very shy cats & a 1/2 feral and she managed to get pets & cuddles with each. Plus pictures, notes, videos, watered plants, & an “as clean as we left it” house. It is such a relief to know we have someone so great as our cat babysitter!

Mariya is my go-to cat sitter - don’t know what I would do without her!! I have 2 VERY shy kitties & she always makes sure to search the house to get me snaps. She is fantastic with our 1/2 feral too! I know my fur babies are getting top notch care & love from her. and I feel confident leaving town when they are under her watch.

Mariya was so fantastic with our kitties. One needs medications daily and Mariya always provided updates on how she was doing each day, complete with photos, texts and videos. It can be stressful leaving pets home when gone for multiple days or weeks at a time, but we were at ease the entire trip. I think our kitties have a new bestie and we will absolutely use Mariya again!

Mariya continues to be an outstanding cat sitter. She provides a detailed report with photos of her visit and is very caring and conscientious. Is it Mariya's fault that Clawed cat won't come out to play with her? Probably not, and I have spoken to Clawed about her catitude. Anyone interested in a cat, cheap? If you already have a cat, I highly recommend taking an interest in Mariya whenever you leave home. Highly recommended!

Despite Clawed Cat’s opinion, Mariya was everything you could ask for in a cat sitter. She arrived when promised and provided a complete, concise report with photographic evidence of her visit. Is it her fault that Clawed refused to come out of her hiding spot to play? Probably not. I mean, Clawed is a cat after all, and like many cats she just doesn’t care for people (including me). Clawed is looking forward to seeing Mariya again soon, even if she won’t see Clawed. Five paws!

Mariya was such a sweet, professional sitter and gave me total peace of mind that my cat was happy and well taken care of during my first extended trip away from him! I was sent daily photos, videos and detailed updates, and she went above and beyond, doing things like bringing in my mail, leaving a kind note (and even making sure my bearded dragon was okay! I did not expect her to do this and it was a huge relief!). I can’t thank her enough for making me feel that my home and pets were secure while I was away. When I came home, my cat was happy and affectionate as ever, a testament to the great care and love Mariya showed him! I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking her again next time I travel. Rorschach and Daisy say hi and thank you!

Mariya is fantastic and I'm very grateful that I found her to care for my two cats. She and I met to discuss the things that needed to be done during her visits. She took careful notes and seemed to be very observant, because everything seemed to have been done perfectly. I especially enjoyed getting daily pictures and videos from her on my phone. While I missed my kitties, seeing those pictures and getting her daily updates made it much easier to be away. Mariya is an excellent cat-sitter and I strongly recommend her! --Bruce

Mariya is a wonderful cat sitter! She watched my cat Biscuit for 4 days. Biscuit is usually very shy around strangers but by the second day of visits she was coming out to get some cuddle time and treats with Mariya! I’m usually a nervous wreck about leaving my cat when I have to go on a trip, but this time my mind was at ease knowing she was being well taken care of in my absence. I received updates and pictures after each visit which I really appreciated. I would absolutely recommend Mariya as a caring and trustworthy cat sitter!

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.
