Learn More About Evelyn

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

What I enjoy most about cat sitting is simply hanging out with cats. I love their unique personalities, the way they communicate, and how every visit is a little different depending on their mood. Whether we’re playing, cuddling, or just coexisting in the same space, it makes me happy to be around them. It’s honestly just the best part of my day.

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

I take the safety and security of both the cats and their homes very seriously. I always double-check that doors and windows are secure when I enter and leave, and I’m very careful not to let the cat slip past me during entry or exit. I follow all instructions left by the owner closely, whether that’s about feeding, hiding spots, medication, or alarms. I never invite anyone else into the home, and I treat the space with respect as if it were my own. If anything seems off or out of the ordinary, I contact the owner right away and keep them informed with regular updates. My goal is to give both the cat and the owner total peace of mind.

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

When I’m caring for timid or anxious cats, I always take a slow, gentle approach and let them lead the interaction. I understand that every cat has their own comfort level and pace, so I never force attention or affection. I give them plenty of space, speak softly, and use calm body language to help them feel safe. I once cared for a very anxious cat who hid and another who was downright angry that their human was away. With patience, consistency, and a lot of respect for their boundaries, both cats eventually warmed up to me. By the end of my time with them, they were not only comfortable but actually seeking out cuddles and playtime. It’s incredibly rewarding to earn that trust, and I always take pride in helping shy or stressed kitties feel safe and loved while their mom + dads are away

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.
