In 2019 I adopted two orange fluff balls named Penny and Pearl. Over the years I’ve enjoyed seeing their personalities develop and evolve from scared quiet kittens to social and happy cats.My primary occupation is working as an engineer but in my spare time I volunteer in Ensenada, Mexico at spay and neuter clinics. My first few years as a cat owner was with a roommate who also had a cat. we had to learn together how to introduce them (shared good time) so they would ultimately be able to coexist together. I love taking care of other peoples animals so they can do the things they need to do without the stress of caring for their animal. I myself utilize friends and family or services such as these when I go out of town l and I want to offer my services.

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!

Taylor was fantastic! She is reliable and did exactly what I asked her to do. I am so happy to have found her and will definitely have her take care of our fur babies in the future.
