Top rated Portland cat sitters
“Stacey is an absolutely amazing sitter. We just moved to Portland and shortly thereafter had to fly out of town for several days, leaving our cat home alone. Upon reaching out, Stacey immediately responded and set up a meet and greet within hours! Each visit she sent the most adorable pics, including one of our cat Lu scratching her cardboard bed- a sign of true happiness, which is a huge piece of mind! We couldn't be happier and will continue to use Stacey whenever possible!!”
“Katey provided great care for our cat while we were away for the holidays. She cuddled and played with him to his heart’s content. She was on time every day and sent many pictures and updates to ease our minds. Definitely recommend!”
“Haley Jo was fantastic! We felt very comfortable with her when she came to do the meet & greet and our first impression was spot on. We are so fortunate to have found her. Luna (our cat) liked her right away. We got great pictures after every visit and a detailed report about the visit. I would definitely recommend Haley Jo, and will definitely have her watch Luna again!”
“Julia was kind and thoughtful with my kitties! She sent updates that made me smile and feel comforted by her presence with them. I’ll be rebooking with Julia the next time we are in need, thank you so much!”
“Addy is responsive, honest, great with the kitties, and has a fantastic photographic eye - the daily pics we get are priceless. We come home to happy cats and clean litter box every time. Highly recommend.”
“We were so pleased with the care our cat Gaston received! You were very responsible and attentive during your visits. The pictures and detailed notes you provided were greatly appreciated. We felt completely at ease knowing our furry friend was in such capable hands. Thank you again for everything!”
“Brianna is amazing! It was my first time using rover and the process went so smoothly. Marley loved her and I got so many pictures from each visit. I would definitely have Brianna watch Marley (my cat) again!”
“Trevor was absolutely amazing with our cats this weekend! He spent the full check-in time interacting with them, playing, and making sure they felt comfortable and cared for. It was clear from the updates and photos that they were happy and relaxed while we were away. He was also a great communicator—super responsive and kept us in the loop the whole time. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Sam was responsible, reliable, made sure to provide fresh water and scoop the litter each visit. She was communicative, adaptable and responsive to my cat’s needs. She made me confident that my cat was being well taken care of!”

“10/10 experience. Jackiellen was extremely kind, communicative, sensitive to my overwhelm lol. She was able to give Soph her meds in just a few minutes!! Excellent experience all around. We’ll be in touch for future visits.”
“Zoey was super great with all my cats and they warmed up to her really fast because she took the time to sit with them. She also helped clean up messed the cats made and was very communicative. I’ll definitely use her again in the future!”
About: Animal lover with flexible schedule, calm and patient energy. I'm very active so available for long walks or runs! Always attentive to details and specifics for each pet in my care. I'm a full-time creative (painter and graphic designer), so I enjoy setting my own schedule and can easily accommodate to your pet's needs during various times of day. I can work remotely and this allows me to be available more often. I am comfortable learning each pet's needs in their home environments, and adjusting to what makes them feel most comfortable. Happy to come to you so that your pet can experience their typical daily routines.
“I definitely recommend Catey, particularly if your quadrupedal babes tend toward anxiety or need confident medication administration. This is the first sitter I've ever hired who wasn't already familiar with my cats and our home. I was nervous because of my boys needs medicated eye drops every 12 hours, which isn't his favorite thing by far, and he also generally takes a while to get comfortable with new people. Catey's super calm and solid demeanor was evident from the get-go, and this helped my boy a lot. Meds went off without a problem. Everything that needed doing for both cats was done, and my boys were chill as can be when I returned home. Catey was also super communicative and seemed like a solid, kind person in general. I couldn't ask for more from a sitter!”
“Justine just finished caring for our two cats for the first time and we certainly hope not the last time!!!! She was communicative, detail-oriented, and sensitive to how our cats were doing and what she could do to help them. For example, when one of our cats wasn't eating, she moved the food to the cat's hiding spot, which solved the problem! Thank you so much, Justine, for taking care of our cats and reducing stress on our wedding weekend! :D”
About: Hello fellow animal lovers! I grew up with both cats and dogs - over 20 years with both and I love them all. From a Shetland sheep dog to a Great Dane to lovely shelter mutts, I love getting to know pups' unique personalities. I also have a special talent for winning over standoffish cats - just give me a couple of days. About me - I'm and education and training professional working a hybrid job based out of Portland, Maine. From northern California originally, I love exploring the coast, traveling, reading, and sketching & painting (poorly - but no one says you have to be good at your hobbies!). I travel too much to have a pet of my own right now, so I hope you'll let me play with yours! I work a hybrid job, meaning my schedule allows for full-time with your pets Thursday evenings through Monday evenings (in the office Tuesday through Thursdays). I am happy to discuss specific needs and schedules with each client. I will do everything I can to provide safety and comfort for your pets while you are away. If you'd like any addition house care for your home (e.g., watering plants, picking up mail) please let me know! Outside of caring for your pets, I am open for general house sitting.
