I'm Tania | Cat Sitting in Portland, OR
I’ve been loving and caring for cats my whole life- from childhood companions to my own fur baby in South Korea, and again during my postdoc years in California. Whether they’re curious kittens or older cats with special needs, I approach each one with patience, respect, and care for their unique personalities. I’m a trained biologist with a PhD in biomedical science and a background in animal behavior research. In college, both in the U.S. and South Africa, I studied how animals interact with their environments- and what helps them feel safe, engaged, and well. That means I’m not just a cat lover- I’m also deeply attuned to your cat’s body language, stress signals, and daily rhythms. I notice the little things that help animals thrive, and I’m excellent at following care routine...

Tania's Reviews
Sam
Tania was fantastic! Our two cats definitely appreciated having her stop by to take care of them. Tania did a wonderful job with the basic cat care but we could tell she went the extra mile to ensure they were well supported!
Porscha
Tania was so great with our cats! Especially our shy guy who needs meds.
Kristien
Tania did a fabulous job with our 2 older kitties! She sent prompt updates and cute photos and I could tell my kitties enjoyed her visits.
Kimberlee
Tania is a great sitter for my active kitty. Lola was trusting of her instantly and I know I can count on her to provide the highest of care. She even accommodated a last minute adjustment to the schedule. Big thank you Tania!
Ada
Tania always does a great job watching our cats so we had her do overnight stays while we were gone for the week. Our older cat has a complicated medication/supplement/food regimen and Tania navigated it with ease. I came home to find an impressive spreadsheet she'd created to track all of the daily to-dos. Her attention to detail and thoughtfulness will put any cat parent at ease.

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 $28.00. 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.
