Cat Sitting in Portland, OR
I'm Tracy. I'm a vet tech who is crazy about cats! I've been in the Veterinary field for 18 years & I've had cats of my own for 20 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... Hi there,

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.

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!

Tracy did an excellent job caring for my cat. He has some anxiety but she charmed him quickly and was able to give him his daily inhaler without any issues. she sent lots of great photos and communicated the whole time and helped put my mind at ease. And more importantly she put my cat at ease as well. I was worried about leaving town because my cat needs meds (and not everyone can master the inhaler) but she’s a pro. Thank you so much!

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 $29.00. 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!

My husband and I have booked Tracy twice now and she's been exceptional both times! The first time our cat was recovering from an allergic reaction and we were a little hesitant to leave him, but knowing that Tracy was vet tech put our mind at ease. She took such great care of him and we were still able to enjoy our vacation because we knew that he was in good hands. The second time we had just gotten a new kitten and were nervous to leave her for the first time, but we knew that Tracy would take great care of her. Our kitten took to her immediately and it was again a great relief knowing that our kiddos were well taken care of while we were gone. Tracy sends multiple photos and videos every visit and we always look forward to the updates. They're always great shots and it's always clear that our kiddos are happy :) We will definitely be using Tracy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a cat sitter!

Tracy is the most amazing Kitty Whisperer. She plays with and nurtures our 4 kitties in addition to seeing to their basic needs. Even our most shy and antisocial kitties come out of their hiding spaces for Tracy, eager for treats and wand play. Our 15 year old kitty, Paco, has asthma and needs to use an inhaler daily. He does so well with Tracy giving him the medication. While we're away Tracy sends oodles of pictures and little videos of our kitties, which allows us to feel at ease, seeing how well they are cared for.

We were nervous about leaving our cats because one of them needs meds twice a day and doesn't always behave great for sitters, and the other can be very skittish. But with Tracy they were on their best behavior and engaged at each visit, which hasn't happened with sitters in a long while. She was also very communicative and sent lots of photos of happy cats, which set our minds at ease. Highly recommended!

my kitty is so important to me, he’s elderly and needs meds and fluids- Tracy confidently cares for him and stays in great touch so I can see my favorite furry pal when far away - appreciate her greatly!
Jessica

This was our first time hiring a cat sitter who is confident giving ear drops and liquid oral medication to one of our elderly boys. Tracy's experience as a vet tech was a godsend. Even our skittish kitty seemed totally at ease during our meet-and-greet. Tracy replied promptly to our messages, and the photos and videos we received each day were both adorable and reassuring. Tracy, thanks for the wonderful care you gave our old boys! ❤️
Laura
May 31, 2023
Tracy was wonderful with my two cats! One of them needs medication every other day and can be a bit angry towards new people but Tracy thought of a way to give her her space and her medicine. She kept me incredibly informed during every visit and that made be able to vacation with ease. I will definitely be reserving with Tracy again for my next trip. Thank you!!

Tracy was such a great cat sitter for my two cats, Enoki and Jasper. She sent amazing photos everyday day she stopped by and you could tell they really enjoyed the attention and care she gave them. I came home and they were in such a good mood and not at all stressed like they can sometimes get when I'm gone for more than a few days. I highly recommend!!

Tracy is great in every way. Prompt and attentive at meeting, competent with codes for doors and alarms. Now let's talk about the cats: The cats were more than comfortable with her, getting pets and playing. Tracy sent plenty of photos of my babies, always reassuring. It makes vacation so much better when you have a super reliable person to care for the cats. I definitely recommend her!

Tracy is our cat whisperer. As always, she provided our kitties (4) with phenomenal care. Each visit, while we were away, she sent us photos of all our kitties. They always looked like they were enjoying themselves, engaged in activities with Tracy. Even our most shy and stand-offish kitties were drawn in by her. They played, received snacks, and got lots of affection. Tracy administered Albuterol each evening to our kitty who has asthma with care. When we returned home, all our kitties were happy.
Nahir

Tracy is amazing. We know that while we're away Tracy takes good care of our kitties. She sends photos of the kitties each visit, which helps us miss them less. Our oldest cat has asthma so requires him to receive medication via inhaler nightly, which Tracy administers. Each time we return, our kitties are happy and relaxed.
Laura

Tracy is the amazing cat whisperer. She took care of their basic needs, played with them, and gained their trust. She sent us multiple pictures daily. Even our most skittish kitties that typically hide from strangers were wooed by Tracy, taking treats right from her hand. She also administered medication to one of our cats who requires daily inhaler treatments for asthma. We will definitely hire Tracy when we go away from home in the future.
