Learn More About Veronica
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I have decades of experience caring for cats and being a cat parent. While I started cat-sitting for pals only a few years ago I have just recently joined Meowtel last year and have met many amazing cats with different needs.This experience has included both short visits and overnight stays as well as providing feeding and litter maintenance . I’ve also administered medication when needed. In every situation, I make sure to maintain the safety and security of my clients’ homes while providing consistent care to their furry friends. Every cat has their own unique personality and I make it my mission to be as engaged as they need during playtime, enrichment or quiet companionship time.
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I truly enjoy the company of cats. I’ve had a variety of pets over the years, including dogs, bunnies and other exotics, but I’ve always considered myself a cat person. What I love most is watching each cats personality shine through. Some cats take time to warm up and I find it so rewarding when that trust is earned. I also enjoy discovering what kind of enrichment each cat prefers, whether it’s playtime or simply relaxing together.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I have a lot of patience and empathy for timid or anxious cats. I always make my presence known calmly and give them time to get comfortable. I approach at their level, move slowly and quietly, and let them come when they’re ready. I pay close attention to body language and respect their need for space and routine. Whether they want gentle socialization or prefer to be left alone, I honor their boundaries. My goal is to create a calm, safe environment so they feel secure. Every visit is on their terms and I’m happy to go at their pace.

Genuinely a great experience with Veronica. During out meet n greet she took notes and asked great questions (really demonstrating her experience). She was communicative and patient with me (I kept remembering things after our visit) as well as the cats. She seemed very knowledgeable and had a calming presence that the cats appeared to appreciate.

Veronica was great with our cats! This was our first time having someone stay with them overnights, as we went on a longer vacation. Veronica gave them their meds, played with them and also cleaned after one of our cats vomited (multiple times). We were continuously updated with photos and summaries of how they were doing. When we came back home, the cats were happy, our home was clean and our packages were waiting for us inside. I highly recommend Veronica!

Veronica is truly the best! This was the second time she’s looked after my two 1-year-old boys, and they definitely remembered and loved her every bit as much as the first time. She takes special care to give them lots of love and keep them entertained, and she’s SO great at sending regular updates (complete with the cutest pictures ever). This was the longest I’ve ever been away from them, and it was so relieving to know they were in the best hands possible!

Veronica was amazing with Bug. Bug doesn’t make new friends easily, but she found one with Veronica. Veronica calmed her while I was away, and that is very important. Veronica gave daily updates, and photos, she even bought Bug a new toy. I will definitely use Veronica again and highly recommend her to watch fur baby while you’re away. Thank you Veronica and Meowtel!!!

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.

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 $31.00. 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!

I was incredibly nervous to get a cat sitter for the first time ever, but Veronica outdid herself! She provided multiple updates every day for the week we were gone and treated my cats with such kindness and compassion!

Veronica is superb!! It was my first time having an in-home cat sitter and I could not emphasize enough how smooth the whole experience was. Veronica is super communicative, personable, timely, and detail oriented. She puts a lot of care and thoughtful touches. I received picture updates when I was away, which was very assuring. The cat report I saw upon arriving back home instantly warmed my heart. She is great with my boy and I’d definitely recommend her to anybody!!

Veronica is a gem! She is kind, compassionate, attentive, and a true animal lover. I trust her wholeheartedly and it gives me great peace of mind knowing my two fur babies are being so well cared for in her hands. She is very communicative and provides consistent updates (complete with adorable photos - she is a fantastic "paw-parazzi"!). She follows care instructions to the letter and I always come home to calm, happy boys - they have such a great time with their "Auntie Veronica" that they barely seem to notice when I'm gone! I cannot possibly recommend her highly enough - she's a perfect 10/10!

Veronica is the most loving, empathetic, and respectful pet sitters that i've ever experienced. While I have a roster of people who I trust to watch my cats, Veronica is always my first choice (and I believe she's my cats first choice as well). The level of detail and care that she puts into loving and playing with my animals in my absence is unmatched. We are truly blessed to have her in our lives!
