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.

Susan is an extraordinary cat sitter. She takes care of the requirements of feeding, watering, and cleaning the litter box, but she does so much more. She clearly cares about my cat and in just a few visits has made herself a trusted and appreciated visitor. I also feel cared for by Susan as she takes video of my cat being petted and loved on.

the reservation went wonderfully without a snag. Symon loves Susan and gets excited when she comes over. Susan sends me great photos of Symon and will call me so I can talk to Symon and he knows I have not abandoned him. It makes me feel better to hear him meow. Susan plays with Symon on the floor with his toys. Susan is really good with Symon as he is a very picky cat and not friendly with many people but he loves Susan. I am glad I picked Susan and hope she is always available when I need her!

This is the 2nd time we’ve used Susan and she is absolutely the best! I cannot imagine our kitties being in better hands. I really think they will miss her. She really goes above and beyond and takes the cutest photos of her charges. 😻We will definitely request her in the future.

this is my first experience with Meowtel and I am really impressed - the reservation went we were with help from the phone people who were helpful, knowledgable and courteous- Susan is the person I chose from the photos on the web sight -she has been marvelous about extending her time while I have been in hospital for surgery - Symon, my 18 year old cat who doesn’t like strangers let Susan walk right up to her and let her pet him - Susan has sent pictures of Simon every other day or so and called me and held the phone so Symon could talk to me and be comforted I am coming home soon. Meowtel office people were so helpful when I needed to add to my reservation from my hospital bed. This is a fantastic company to work with and I will be using them again. I hope Susan will be available 😉

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.

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 $28.00. 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 free 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 free Meet & Greet!
