Cat Sitting in Portland, OR

I’ll admit it: I’m a crazy cat lady. Although I only have one of my own, I’m pretty obsessed with her! My cat, Lola, has become my best friend over the last 9 years and I am always looking for ways to give her the best possible quality of life. I’ve always had a special connection with and love for animals ever since I was young. I look forward to providing your cat the same warmth and affection that I provide my own while respecting their individual boundaries... I’ll admit it: I’m a crazy cat lady. Although I only have one of my own, I’m pretty obsessed with her! My cat, Lola, has become my best friend over the last 9 years and I am always looking for ways to give her the best possible quality of life. I’ve always had a special connection with and love for animals ever since I was young. I look forward to providing your cat the same warmth and affection that I provide my own while respecting their individual boundaries. I am experienced with feeding, play time, brushing, transporting (if needed), and, everyone’s favorite, cleaning the litter box.

The first time I left my cat overnight with a drop-in sitter, I was so anxious! I just wanted to know that whoever was watching her genuinely cared about her comfort and wellbeing. I understand how important it is to have that peace of mind. I will send plenty of updates with pictures during my visits, as I know how much that helped me during my time away. Communication is super important.

I look forward to meeting your furry friend!

Sara was a great cat sitter! She checked in each day and sent photos and videos of our kitties which made me feel at ease while out of town. I would definitely recommend Sara and will try to book her again in the future! 😻

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!
