I'm Kelly
Cat Sitting in Hugo, MN
I'm 50 years old and have had cats all my life, as a kid and adult. As a young adult I took my mom's Siamese cat named Kitten when she couldn't. He had diabetes so I gave him insulin shots twice a day. He lived to 16 years old. I got Milo as a kitten, she was a friend's barn kitten that he was trying... New update: I am fully vaccinated for covid, received the latest booster for the new covid strains in December 2022 and will wear a mask if preferred.

Right now I have 3 cats: Nemo and Lilo I got from a friend 6 years ago who couldn't keep them anymore at 3 and 4 years old. Xena I got as a kitten 4 years ago, someone had dumped a litter of kittens near the road and I saw the finder's ***** post. Cleo was my foster in January, February, and March. She was 6 months old at the time and has since been adopted.

Kelly did a fantastic job watching our 4 cats, as usual, but went even more above and beyond this time managing ants in food dishes across multiple days and helping to give my little old man pills and an inhaler through varied approaches. I always appreciate how she treats them with such care, even when the situation is challenging. Thanks again for an amazing pet sitting experience :)

This is the second time Kelly has taken care of our two Maine Coons for us when we were out of town. Like the previous time, Kelly did an amazing job of charming my nervous cat and taking care of my other cat's medical needs. They communicated during and about each visit. Both times Kelly has taken care of them, we have come home to happy and chill cats, which was not our experience previously using a different service and provider! Kelly is EXCELLENT!

Kelly is simply wonderful with my shy cats. By the end of the week they were greeting her on arrival instead of hiding! She communicated daily. We really enjoyed the daily kitty pictures! This is the second time I've booked Kelly. She is reliable, responsible, and truly loves cats.

Kelly consistently provides care that keeps our cats healthy and happy. It is a relief to have a person well versed in medication delivery to care for our oldest cat. Thank you, Kelly, for continuing to be caring, reliable and professional.

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.
- 24–48 hours before the reservation start date: 50% refund. The sitter will earn 50% of their planned earnings.
- Within 24 hours of the reservation start date (or after it has begun): No refund. The sitter will earn 100% of their planned earnings.
All refunds are initially applied to the Cat Parent's Meowtel Account Balance for use toward a future reservation or tip. Funds may be returned to the original payment method at any time.
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.
Hugo 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!

The peace of mind when we are away is all Kelly. We have one older friendly cat who I worry about. Kelly makes sure to communicate with texts and photos and my mind is eased as to his demeanor and well being.

We are so grateful to have Kelly in our service area. The updates and pictures Kelly provides help ease my angst being away from our cat family. One of our cats needs meds 2x a day and isn't always cooperative, Kelly has been successful keeping him on his med schedule. Thanks, Kelly.

Kelly recently looked after our 4 cats during a 2 week long vacation. They each have different dietary needs and temperaments (one is a frumpy old man). She sent multiple pictures of each daily and it set my mind at ease and allowed me to truly enjoy my time away. She played with the two kittens and loved up our high needs fluffy boy. I could tell the entire time that they were in good hands. I 100% recommend Kelly as she did such a great job with our meows.

Kelly's cared for our cats and we couldn't have picked better. I have one cat with diabetes that needs insulin twice daily and an older shy kitty. She was simply wonderful! Reliable, skilled, kind, and kept us updated with each visit, We will definitely be asking her back.

Kelly was absolutely fantastic. She was very responsive and able to do a quick meet and greet to understand our house and three cats. She provided wonderful updates during each of her visits including photos of each of our cats and how they were doing. She interacted with them and remembered to do sweet things like give our old lady meow an ice cube in her water. Thanks to Kelly, I was able to go away for a long weekend worry free knowing our 3 cats were in good hands. I would definitely recommend Kelly as a cat sitter.
