Susan's Sit And Snuggle

I'm Susan

Cat Sitting in Burnsville, MN

Hello fellow cat parents! I’m Susan Samuelson and I moved to Burnsville in May 2012, driving straight through on I-35 from Austin TX with two 8 year old boy kitties and one geriatric ferret in my ‘98 Beetle. I’ve owned cats my whole life and I’m told our family cat, Kutchka, would sleep in my crib when I was a baby. I love all furry critters but my passion is definitely cats of all ages and breeds. My husband and I adopted two sister kittens in October 2013, Zip & Zap (still going strong 12+ years later).... Hello fellow cat parents! I’m Susan Samuelson and I moved to Burnsville in May 2012, driving straight through on I-35 from Austin TX with two 8 year old boy kitties and one geriatric ferret in my ‘98 Beetle. I’ve owned cats my whole life and I’m told our family cat, Kutchka, would sleep in my crib when I was a baby. I love all furry critters but my passion is definitely cats of all ages and breeds. My husband and I adopted two sister kittens in October 2013, Zip & Zap (still going strong 12+ years later).. I’ve owned many different cats through the years and I’m very adept at administering any medications you could think of (insulin shots, pills, transdermal creams, subcutaneous fluids, etc). Being a cat parent myself, I absolutely understand the value of having a trusted person taking care our kitties when we are away. So, I truly appreciate what Meowtel is offering, and my top priority is providing outstanding service to you and your pets. I am thoughtful, intelligent, dependable and extremely empathetic. I retired from the corporate world in May 2023 and I am here, ready to serve Burnsville and the surrounding area.

Learn More About Susan

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

The cats! Any time I can spend giving attention to a kitty is awesome. I also feel good making sure kitties have what they need to be healthy and happy. It also makes me feel good to help other cat parents. I’ve never cat sat for money before and have only provided the service to trusted friends of mine but I really like being able to be helpful to others. Maybe that’s just the old Girl Scout in me…

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Zip and Zap are our 12+ year old girls. They are a couple of magpies (black & white) and have distinctly different personalities. Zip is beyond confident and knows no strangers while Zap is very shy and could take days or more before approaching a new person.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes! I seldom travel around the major holidays and would always have far advanced notice for any vacation dates I’d be unavailable.

After a multi day trip our return flight was canceled due to weather. Susan agreed to extend a day and even asked about and did additional chores since she noticed the neighbors had their garbage bins out. Our crew of 4 cats and us appreciate her.

Susan is wonderful! She's very kind, considerate and caring throughout all the services we've had so far. Every service Susan is on time, she makes sure to always keep me updated with photos and videos, describing in details how the cats were doing. Overall she's a great sitter and my experience with her has been nothing but great, she puts my mind at ease when I'm away from the kitties. I'll definitely recommend Susan and book her for future services!

Susan kept in touch with me every day with pictures and video of my kitty. She kept me informed on how she fed the cat and took care of the cat box every day. She also played with my kitty every day and gave me a stress-free vacation!

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.

Burnsville cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $29.00. 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!
