Alison did a great job caring for our cat, Sadie! Even when our cat had some challenging behaviors with her daily pills, we were able to work together to find a solution, and we appreciate that Alison was so understanding and patient. She had great communication through the whole reservation, and sent pictures every day. I would definitely book with Alison again!

This was our first time having a cat sitter. Alison was wonderful and put us at ease that our cat would be in good hands while we were gone. We met a few days before we were set to leave to go over logistics and I could tell right away our cat liked her. we appreciated all the pictures and stories she shared with us while we were away. We will definitely book her in the future for cat sitting. I highly recommend her.

I tend to worry about my cats when I’m away but I never need to when Alison watches them! She takes excellent care of them and sends me excellent photos and videos every day she visits. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for some peace of mind while they’re away.

Second time booking with Alison and she’s perfect. This time she really went above and beyond and was able to replace the batteries in my thermostat that I had forgotten to replace before I left - preventing my kitties from being too cold! She also made an effort to get some play time with my shy kitty, which is a challenge with my other kitty who typically dominates the play time. Highly recommend her.

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.

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.
Minneapolis 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 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!

We enjoyed a 10 day trip thanks to thorough daily updates, Alison’s experience giving oral meds & her ability to connect with Griff and meet his comfort level each visit! Griff was happy to have us home, but this was the 1st time he’s seemed to also give a “PAWS UP” for his sitter!

This was the first time Alison took care of our cat, but will definitely not be the last. Our introductory visit was a great way to get to know her, allowed us to sync about what was important to us and also let us become familiar with her individual style. For five days, Alison came twice a day to feed our cat, give her pills, take care of her litter box and tend to whatever was necessary to keep us all happy and reassured. Alison diligently checked all the boxes we initially talked about, and sent us pictures and text updates daily so we’d never feel too far away ;) She even took in a few boxes that were waiting by the door :) We highly recommend her if you need someone warm, cat-loving and responsible to take care of your cat.

Alison was so amazing with my cats! She went above and beyond for them and even set up an automatic feeder for me. I got daily updates with great pictures and videos, and my shy cat warmed up to her very quickly! It was great to know that someone was taking good care of them while I was away and I will definitely be booking with her again the next time I’m gone!

Alison is the best! We have had her cat sit for us multiple times and we love what she does for our little fur baby. A professional all around. She sends great pictures and updates for out pet all the time and we love them! Our cat gets very anxious when we are not around, and Alison has a comforting energy and touch that makes our cat feel comfortable and taken care of when we are away. We will always be asking for her to watch over our little guy anytime in the future!

Allison was wonderful. When she made her pre-trip visi to, Miss Kitty immediately took ro Allison, so we were not worried at all. Allison sent us daily updates with photos and commentary, and we were extremely at ease with the whole process. We have another trip planned later this year, and we definitely know who we would like to take of Miss Kitty!
