I'm Alisha
Cat Sitting in Portland, OR
Cats hold such a special space in my heart, w... Transplanted from South Louisiana, southern hospitality and a connection to animals comes naturally to me. Working in veterinary medicine, and years in both the animal and rescue industries means my love and knowledge for both people and their pets is my life’s passion.
Cats hold such a special space in my heart, with their quirky and unique personalities. I’m honored have had the pleasure of caring for so many whiskered friends; from playful kittens, special needs babbies, to my own beloved senior male kitty. I may be new to Meowtel but I’m no stranger to caring for sweet furry family members with compasion and kindness ❤️🐾
Learn More About Alisha
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I am blessed to be owned by my beloved tuxedo prince of a cat, Renton. Lucky enough to have been present for his birth, he most certainly chose me now 10 absolutely amazing years ago. He is hands down my heart and soul and has been a big brother figure to many foster kitties over the last decade. His playful and affectionate personality even into his senior years fills my heart with so much love each and every day!
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
Awareness and Attention to detail makes all the difference when it comes to being safe and secure while your kitties are in my care!
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I prefer a less is more approach with timid kitties. Cats can naturally be aloof, especially with new faces, smells, and sounds. As a fear free certified pet professional, I understand how important body language, voice tone, and energy is when communicating with animals and also when trying to understand what they’re telling us! Sometimes it’s a calm, soft voice. Sometimes a little bit of playing with a toy gently to help coax them, and sometimes it’s just sitting and relaxing untill they feel safe. No matter what interaction style your cat has, I’m excited to get to know them- at their speed!

Alisha is a compassionate and confident care-giver, a thoughtful and attentive communicator, and a passionate advocate for animals. When she met my shy, sensitive cat for the first time, she was a calm and welcoming presence, allowing him to feel comfortable approaching her for a pet. I would entrust Alisha with the care of my two cats without question, and I'd recommend her highly to anyone in need of a communicative and reliable cat-sitter!

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!
