What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I’ve been cat sitting for over five years and have experience with cats of all ages—from kittens to senior cats. I'm also comfortable caring for cats with unique needs, whether that means administering medication, following special routines, or simply giving them a little extra patience and care.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have a four-year-old orange cat named Pumpkin, and she’s truly my whole world. When I first adopted her, she had a few health challenges, which gave me hands-on experience caring for a cat with special needs. That experience has made me especially comfortable when it comes to supporting other cats who may need a little extra attention, patience, or medical care.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

When working with a new cat parent, I like to start by learning as much as I can about their cat’s personality, routine, and specific needs. I usually begin with a meet-and-greet, either in person or virtually, and much gives us a chance to go over everything—from feeding instructions and litter box preferences to medications, favorite toys, and hiding spots. I take detailed notes to make sure I follow their routine as closely as possible. After each visit, I send thorough updates with photos and videos to keep pet parents reassured and connected. I know how tough it can be to leave our kitties, so my goal is always to create a stress-free experience for both the cat and their human, and to make sure they feel completely comfortable and confident while they’re away.

Kristen is incredibly thoughtful, reliable, and compassionate—someone you can fully trust with your pet and your peace of mind. She’s cared for my cat, Jojo, multiple times, and each time I’ve come home to a happy, relaxed, and well-taken care of little chap. Kristen treats every animal like her own (just ask her beloved cat, Pumpkin!) and handles everything from daily care to medical needs with confidence and kindness. I can't recommend her enough!

Kirsten is an excellent cat sitter! She is super knowledgeable about cat behavior and needs, she is a prompt and clear communicator, and she is detail-oriented. She loves cats and she will treat yours like her own. Kristen has taken such great care of my kitties, and I recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter you can trust.

Frequently Asked Questions

Portland cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $27.00. Prices will also depend on how long your cat needs company for, whether that be a drop-in visit or overnight stay in your home. Meowtel sitters offer 20, 45, and 60-minute drop-in visits that allow for fully tailored care for your kitties. Your caregiver may also need to charge a little more if they have to travel far, so we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in 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 for your kitties. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

We recommend that you book daily visits with your sitter to keep your cats in their routine and to help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.

Each Meowtel cat sitting visit will include the whole 9 yards: feeding, refreshing the water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, as well as any special requests you may have. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
