I'm Milo | Cat Sitting in Portland, OR

Hi, I’m Milo (he/him)! I live in North Portland with my boyfriend and our tuxedo cat, Boba. As someone who grew up with dogs, it took me until college to discover my love for cats. Now, cats are often my main source of creative inspiration and I cannot imagine my life without them! I’m a freelance illustrator and artist, working on growing my clientele and online shop. This gives me the flexibility and availability to cat-sit regularly. When I’m not working, I love watching movies and drawing with my cat snuggled by my side. As a cat dad, I understand the stress and discomfort that can come from being away from your fur babies. I prioritize respecting your cat’s boundaries, recognizing their unique personalities, an...

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

My favorite thing about cat sitting is meeting new furry friends and learning about their distinct personalities. Cats have such a positive impact on my mood and I love seeing the ways they’re similar and different to my own cat, Boba.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have a black and white tuxedo cat named Boba. He’s got a fun combo of brown and pink toe beans and the cutest little asymmetrical face. My boyfriend and I adopted Boba during the pandemic and he was the only tuxedo in his litter. He looked like Figaro from Pinocchio and we knew we had to have him!

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

When I’m working with particularly timid or anxious cats, I make sure to give them time and space to warm up to me. I do my best to be quiet, gentle, and respectful of boundaries. Usually cats will have a place in their home they retreat to (like under the bed) when they’re scared, and I just ensure it’s safe and comfortable for them. If they like TV or music, I’ll put that on at a comfortable volume. While still giving them space, I like to offer them stimulus by playing with some of their favorite toys. Playtime or food will often bring them out of their hiding place.

The Meowtel Promise & Satisfaction Guarantee

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.

If you are not fully satisfied with your sitter after the Meet & Greet or during the reservation, please call 1-844-636-9835 so we can help you re-book with a new sitter to ensure we can deliver on our purrfect hospitality promise.

Frequently Asked Questions

will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $33.00. 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.
