I'm Catherine

Cat Sitting in Minneapolis, MN

Hi there! My name is Cat, short for Catherine and caring for kitties is soul work for me. I'm very observant, detail-oriented, and am excellent at following instructions for care.
I adore meeting new feline friends and tend to start slow, allowing them to set the pace for introductions. I will get low, allow the kitties to sniff me and give them slow blinks to provide reassurance. I talk to them throughout my visits, so they get used to my voice and don't feel lonely. If kitties want attention right away, I will give them my undivided attention until they are ready for playing or feeding...

If kitties want attention right away, I will give them my undivided attention until they are ready for playing or feeding. I tend to wash food and water bowls before refilling and always clean fountains during my last visit. I clean the litter box at each visit as well. I offer kitties pets, grooming and play each time I am with them.
If medication needs to be administered, I try to do that earlier in my visit, in order to provide reinforcement through food, petting and play.
If there are accidents or messes, I will generally take care of it right away, along with messaging you to apprise you of the situation (and will send pictures).
Prior to my departure from your house, I will send an update to you with pictures to let you know the status of kitties and your home.

Learn More About Catherine

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I have been cat sitting for 5 years and started contracting with my pet sitter, who ran her own business. She helped to train me on how to conduct cat visits, including changing socks between households to limit the spread of any illnesses. I have experience administering medications, somecutaneous fluids, injections and testing blood glucose on cats.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love meeting new kitty friends and providing them companionship while their family is away. Their personailities, routines, and how they choose to communicate their needs to people is fascinating and I appreciate each one.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

Winnie is one of my favorite kitties to care for. She meets me at the door, talks to me, and brings me to the living room, where I am to lay on the floor and brush her until she decides it is time for food and treats! She is so sweet and bossy... I love her and miss her when my visits are completed.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have a 3-year-old orange tabby with some gray on him named Dash. He looks like he is dirty, which makes me laugh. He is a very sensitive boy with an adorable pink nose, whom I love and adore. Chase is our 14 month-old kitty who is bigger than Dash. He is super sweet and cuddly. He plays so hard that he makes himself pant!

What is your favorite cat toy?

I actually have two favorite cat toys: poofballs because they can be thrown for fetch, rolled to chase and swat, and carried around by kitties. Spring toys are my other favorite because Chase loves them the most.

Cat was so great with our kitties while we were gone for 7 days. She was attentive and loving while at our house and we lived the daily updates and pictures she sent after her visit. Our 2 cats have different foods and get daily supplements. She was on top of everything.

Catherine took care of my two cats while I was in London for a week. The cats loved her. She played with them, made sure they had fresh food, water, and litter boxes. She pet them and made them feel loved. She has great communication. She even went over the top by taking out my garbage, recycling, and doing my dishes. I appreciate the way she does things with care and kindness.

This was our first time with Cat & she has exceeded all our expectations. She is a fantastic communicator & a gifted cat photographer - one of our cats is a total ham & the other can be quiet shy & aloof and she sent the cutest photos of them both! It was apparent the minute we walked through the door on our return that our two babies were really well cared for. We are definitely repeat customers now!

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!
