I'm Tracy

Cat Sitting in Portland, OR

Hi there,

I'm Tracy. I'm a vet tech who is crazy about cats! I've been in the Veterinary field for 20 years & I've had cats of my own for 22 years. I always particularly look forward to feline patients during my shifts at the hospital, and am somewhat of a cat whisperer 😻 I currently have 5 cats! 😺

I've been a pet sitter for over 20 years, but this is my first time on an app. I have been on Meowtel now for about 3 years & it's been fun meeting all the different cats!

I am well versed in administration of all medications, subcutaneous fluids - you name it.

I'm also very meticulous, so please feel free to let me know if you have preferences or requirements for cleanliness - no shoes in the house? You got it! I'm fully vaccinated and have had all the boosters...

I'm also very meticulous, so please feel free to let me know if you have preferences or requirements for cleanliness - no shoes in the house? You got it! I'm fully vaccinated and have had all the boosters. Please let me know if you would prefer me to wear a mask for the meet & greet, and/or for the duration of your reservation.

I am a transplant from Memphis, TN, and my partner & I have lived in Portland for 9 years. We love the PNW & all its beautiful landscapes. In our free time, we enjoy spending time with our "children" - Seven, 21, 24, Gary, Fig, & two chihuahua mixes named Fitzroy & Fern. We enjoy spending time working in the garden, & have been learning about homesteading. We're also nerdy - I have an obsession with Ren Faires, & my partner frequently plays DnD.

If my service zone doesn't cover your area, message me & I may be able to make an exception.

I did have to raise my prices a touch to compensate for the cost of gas at the moment; if you're a repeat client of mine & this causes a financial burden, please let me know.

Also, if you are a previous client of mine and are not seeing availability on my schedule, please message me.

That's it for me; tell your cats I say 'hi'! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to message me.

I've been pet sitting in some capacity for all of my adult life, & I have been on Meowtel since the summer of 2022.

Yes! The holidays are my busiest time so make sure to book early 😊

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

I sit in the floor near them, with treats or toys, & I let them approach me at their pace.

Tracy was a phenomenal cat sitter for us! She handled giving oral liquid meds to my elderly, cranky, love-of-my-life, velcro cat like the pro vet tech that she is. She gave her the meds during our meet and greet with no problem whatsoever. She was extremely reliable and provided updates and pictures. She neither undercommunicated nor overcommunicated - simply did what we had asked. Our younger cat seemed to greet her very eagerly during visits, so I knew they had made friends. :) Our older girl was tolerant and accepted some pets, which is a feat because she's a hard one to win over. I felt very relieved to find someone like Tracy and would recommend and hire her again in a heartbeat. Can't thank her enough for caring for our babies.

Tracy is a great cat sitter, especially for cats with special needs. I trust her to administer my cat’s inhaled meds, which is the most important part of the visit. She also plays with him and sends us great photos that make me feel reassured since I’m always nervous to leave my kitty on his own!

Frequently Asked Questions

Reservations officially begin at 12:00 AM in the sitter's time zone on the start date. Cat Parents may cancel within 24 hours of booking and receive a full refund, as long as the reservation has not yet started. After the first 24 hours, the following cancellation rules apply:


  • More than 48 hours before the reservation start date: Full refund. The sitter will not receive any earnings.
  • 24–48 hours before the reservation start date: 50% refund. The sitter will earn 50% of their planned earnings.
  • Within 24 hours of the reservation start date (or after it has begun): No refund. The sitter will earn 100% of their planned earnings.

All refunds are initially applied to the Cat Parent's Meowtel Account Balance for use toward a future reservation or tip. Funds may be returned to the original payment method at any time.

Meowtel is a marketplace that connects cat parents with independent sitters. For eligible reservations booked and paid for through Meowtel, the Meowtel Promise explains how we support cat parents if something unexpected comes up.

If it doesn't feel like a purrfect fit after a Meet & Greet or during a reservation, our support team is here to help at 1-844-Meowtel (1-844-636-9835). We'll take time to understand what happened and help you consider next steps, which could include help with a new reservation.

Portland cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $30.00. Prices depend on visit duration (20, 45, or 60 minutes) and whether you need drop-in visits or overnight stays.

Every cat sitter on Meowtel completes a background check. Ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can feel comfortable with 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. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

We recommend booking daily visits to keep your cats in their routine and help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.

Each visit typically includes: feeding, refreshing water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, and any special requests. Ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet!
