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©

Wow, so grateful! I have a very shy kitty, and have tried Meowtel a few times over the last couple of years with different sitters. Ainsley was the first sitter to coax Joey out of her shell. I didn’t plan on that happening, and it wasn’t an expectation for my sitter, so I am definitely amazed. Ainsley sent me multiple updates each visit, including photos and videos. This has been hands down the best experience both Joey and I have had with this service. I plan to reserve Ainsley for future needs, and can finally relax knowing both Joey’s physical and emotional needs are being met. It is clear that Ainsley cares about my pet and maximizes her time each visit. Couldn’t be happier!

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 was amazing and immediately connected with my boy Ozzy, who is quite shy with strangers. She sent pictures and updates from each visit and took time to play and give him treats while I was gone. Very happy with her last minute help to cover my pet care needs!

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.

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 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 Meet & Greet!
