Nicola was a fantastic cat sitter. Nicola posted updates not just issues/problems, was responsive, great communication, and followed directions. We travel a lot and I have never seen our cat as happy while we were away. Our cat was also in a way better place mentally than I have every seen her once we returned. I would recommend Nicola to anyone for cat care and house sitting.

Nicola is an amazing cat sitter! She is detail oriented and calm, cool, and collected. I’m so thankful to have her watching my two cats! I have a particularly tricky situation where my cats need to be separated while I’m out of town, and Nicola did an amazing job following all the instructions, giving me status updates, and adapting to the situation. Will definitely work with Nicola again — highly recommend her!

Nicola was a great cat sitter! She bonded right away with our skittish cat and was very easy to communicate with during the length of our trip. We really appreciate all her help and would definitely book Nicola again!

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.
