Learn More About Ainsley

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Meeting new furriends! My flexible schedule gives me the ability to help others feel comfortable & at ease while away from their fur children. 😿✈️

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I myself have a 16 year old mackerel tabby named Marty, she is an indoor lady of luxury. πŸ˜»πŸ‘‘

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

My Marty is a strictly indoor cat so I understand & make sure that kitties stay within the home. This is also important/practiced at the cat rescue I work for. πŸšͺ🏑

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes, most holidays I will be in Portland! πŸ“…πŸ²πŸοΈπŸ€ΏπŸ₯šπŸ‡πŸ•οΈπŸŽ†πŸ¦ƒπŸŽ„β˜ƒοΈπŸ•ŽπŸ₯³πŸͺ©

Ainsley did a fantastic job checking in on our cat while we were on a roadtrip. Our cat has complicated medication requirements and we knew she was well cared for the entire time we were out of town. Thank you so much!

Ainsley did a great job with our three cats who tend to be anxious and not a fan of new people. She was consistent and built trust with them in the week we were gone. Ainsley made the most of her visits, giving our anxious cat his daily medication, playing with our high energy kitten, fending off our cat who complains, and still sending us plenty of pictures and updates.

This was the first time I booked a cat sitter who alleviated all my worries over leaving my clingy little buddies behind- especially my special needs guy with CH. Ainsley took great care of them and was quick to help out when our auto-feeder malfunctioned. Timely visits, great communication, and an adorable abundance of photo updates. We’ll be happy to book her again next time, for sure!

Ainsley is absolutely amazing! It was our first time using an online cat sitting service and it went better than we could ever imagine. We had total peace of mind the entire time as she was extermely communicative, sent lots of pictures, and seamlessly adjusted to both of my cats ever changing needs. We feel so lucky to have found her and are so excited to continue working with her moving forward!

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!
