I have been pet sitting for friends for several years now and would like to expand my circle of cat pals. I enjoy the opportunity to meet new pet friends. I have found that it is less stressful if I come and stay at their home, but I can do check-ins as well. Can travel to areas outside of Portland metro, and south portion of Washington state as well. I have had cats as companions for more than 30 years. I understand cat behavior. I enjoy traveling to different locations and getting to know cat pals in their own environments.

Learn More About Paula

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

I have had cats as pets for 30+ years. I have been cat sitting/pet sitting outside of my home for several years

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I enjoy getting to know new cat pals. And maintaining a stable situation for them by providing companionship in their own environment

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I currently have only one cat. She is 3 years old. Her name is Blitzo (the O is silent; my nephew named her and thought it was important that her name has a silent letter). In the past I have had as many as 6 cats at one time. Mostly assembled as they were left in my care and became permanent residents

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

I like to meet with the pet owners to learn what the usual routine is for feeding times and any medications needed. I also like to find out where pet supplies are kept. And appreciate a list of contact numbers for your veterinarian and who I should contact if I can't reach you while your cat is in my care

Are you usually available during holidays?

I am available to provide pet care during holidays. Will do overnight care as well as drop-in for the holiday times

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

I have found that it is best to let timid cats make the first contact. Anxious cats are a different situation. Best to learn the source of the anxiety and then try to limit the occurrence to help the cat feel more secure

Paula responded promptly when we requested her services. She arrived on time for our meet and greet and our kitties took to her immediately. Paula took pictures and sent texts showing us how it was going. All appreciated when we were away and wanting to know our girls were being well cared for. Don’t hesitate to request Paula for your kitty care!

Paula was a good fit for me and my boys. She was attentive and provided me with humorous updates frequently. It made being away from them easier knowing they were well taken care of.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
Within 24 hours of the reservation start date (or after it has begun): No refund. The sitter will earn 100% 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 $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!
