I'm Lesny
Cat Sitting in Minneapolis, MN
Some history is that I have babysat friends and family members kitties. I’m comfortable giving a bottle to a kitten and administering medicine as I have in the past. P.S. I don’t mind the age of a kitten or service that might be needed. I also don’t mind cats that might not be friendly as I have some experience with shy and expressive cats... Hi my name is Lesny and I’m a college student. I speak both English and Spanish. I have 4 cats. One is turning older while the other ones are almost reaching 1 year. I’m a cat lady.
Some history is that I have babysat friends and family members kitties. I’m comfortable giving a bottle to a kitten and administering medicine as I have in the past. P.S. I don’t mind the age of a kitten or service that might be needed. I also don’t mind cats that might not be friendly as I have some experience with shy and expressive cats.
I offer full services such as feeding and giving them water, if preferred I could wash their dishes before and after if instructed. Clean litter box and sweep litter if they take some out. I will also clean any accidents that your cat might have. I will let you know of these accidents. I’ll also administer any medication that might be needed, might need more details to know if there is a way you do it. I’ll also play with them/interact with them. I can also do some simple house tasks. I’ll send pictures and videos per each visit. I’ll send mini paragraphs as updates and if requested I can let you know when I arrive and leave.
Thank you for your time and I hope to get a chance to take care of your fur baby!
Learn More About Lesny
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have 4 cats. My oldest is 7 and her name is Luna. The other three are soon to be 1. Their names are Tomas, Simba and Firu.
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
When arriving and leaving I’ll make sure to see that they are there and that they are safe. I’ll also see their behavior to know they’ll like for me to invade their space or give them their own time with minimizing my presence.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
With timid or anxious cats I like to first check that they are safe and good. I’ll give them their time and not make too much sound. If asked to stay there I’ll try to minimize my presence by just sitting or standing. If not I’ll try to use a toy to start building familiarity. Also I’ll let them come to me rather than going to them.

This was our second time hiring Lesney to take care of our cat Luna while we traveled. She does an excellent job of following directions and communicating about how each visit goes. She shares about Luna’s behavior with her, and takes lots of photos. It makes us feel confident and comfortable that our kitty is being well taken care of. It’s also clear that she spends the whole amount of time that she’s being paid for, and that feels really good. She’s kind and personable and shares photos of her own cats when she first comes to meet you, which also feels very comforting. We will definitely try to hire her again for our next trip!

Lesny went above and beyond! One of my cat's is prone to having accidents and also has vomiting spells occasionally and Lesny cleaned up after her without hesitation. She also administered medication and even watered the flowers for me. And her calm demeanor was exactly what my cats needed. I wouldn't hesitate to hire her again!

Lesney was absolutely wonderful to work with! When she came to meet us she was very pleasant and friendly, and shared photos of her own cats, which is always a good indicator of a dedicated cat person. She also let our 3-year-old cat Luna greet her by sniffing her hand before she touched her, which is also great. Lesny was very consistent with sending us daily updates and photos, which helped us feel more comfortable leaving Luna for more than a week. I will definitely be contacting Lesny the next time we leave town!

Lesny is a wonderful cat sitter and I would hire her again a heartbeat. She has a great deal of experience caring for cats and my shy kitties took to her right away. Lesny provided great communication, all the required care and did it consistently with grace and professionalism. I hope to hire her again and would recommend her services to all the other cat parents out there!

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 $30.00. 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!

My experience with Lesny continues to be exceptional in every way. My cats trust her and when I return - they’re no longer angry or upset. She’s so good with them!
