Learn More About Kayleigh

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I think the best part of cat sitting is getting to meet new cats all over the world and making friends with them. I like to think I’m a very cat-like person so relaxing with them on the couch, reading a book (I’m a total book worm), and then taking a little cat nap all cuddled up and cozy with them would be a literal dream. I mean, come on does it really get any better than that?

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes, I adopted two loving, yet unruly cats in my late twenties. Their names are Izzy and Irwin! Looking forward to adopting another one in the near future!

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

My typical process for working with a new cat parent would be to get to know them and their needs. It’s important to understand all the responsibilities they are requesting. I’m open to talking over a video call or meeting in-person if that makes the individual feel more comfortable.

Kayleigh provided wonderful, detailed updates about each time she visited our cranky, sassy senior kitty to give her twice daily medication. We could tell our cat was always in very good hands.

Kayleigh is wonderful - a true cat-whisperer. She follows through, pays attention to detail, communicates thoroughly and, most of all, loves on our cats, draws their shy personalities into play. So reliable and kind. Highly recommend!

Kayleigh did a wonderful job taking care of our two kitties, each of whom require their own special care. She was flexible to accommodate specific medication timings as well as responsive, providing plenty of photos and updates. She cared for the house as well and made sure everything was in order while we were away.

Kayleigh was amazing! She had such a sweet way of wooing our shy kitties. We thought they would be invisible, but Kayleigh managed to become a trusted play partner quickly. Her communication was thorough and timely. She did all requested tasks excellently. Would highly recommend!

Kayleigh did a great job. Good communication leading up to and during my trip. Good pictures and even some video clips. I have been keeping my cat and my recently-adopted kitten on separate floors until they are ready to meet, and Kayleigh gave them both plenty of attention. My shy cat even liked her.

I needed a cat sitter last minute, and Kayleigh was quick to respond and really easy to work with. Normally when I go out of town, I can hear my cat Geen howling at the door when I get home. This time was the first time that she wasn’t howling! I can tell that Geen was shown lots of love while I was away. Kayleigh’s updates were timely, thoughtful, and included pictures of whatever Geen was up to. All in all great experience, highly recommend!

I moved to Minneapolis on February 8. Just 3 days later, I realized my male cat, Jimmy, hadn’t peed in a while. I whisked him off to the University of Minnesota emergency vet at 2 am, where he was diagnosed with a urinary blockage and hospitalized for a few days. In the meantime, I tried to settle into a new apartment in a new city with my other cat (Jimmy’s sister) and my dog. Jimmy came home on the evening of February 13 with detailed medication and care instructions. Between his needs and the needs of my other cat and dog, and still having to go into the office the next day, I quickly realized I was overwhelmed. I cried to the UMn emergency vet hotline and they suggested Meowtel; cue me contacting Kayleigh at 11 PM, asking if she could come spend the next day with Jimmy and the other two animals, as early in the morning as possible. What Kayleigh did for me was nearly Herculean. On short notice, she arranged to pick up my apartment keys at my office and then spent a full day with a sick cat, his stressed sister, and a dog she’d never met before. She paid thorough attention to the instructions I sent her over text, and she provided frequent updates and photos; she even managed to take a video of Jimmy peeing (a very important sign of his recovery!). She administered Jimmy’s medications and cuddled with him in his convalescence room, which was really just my uncomfortable bathroom floor that I’d thrown blankets on. She also made sure to spend time playing with my other cat and even my dog - while my regular dog walker came at noon, my dog obviously benefitted from some additional attention from Kayleigh. I don’t assume that anyone will love my cats as much as I do, but I could tell from all my interactions with Kayleigh that she cared about Jimmy as though he were her own. Even after I came home from work and the booking was over, she sent final reports on how the animals did during the day, and when I needed help again with medication the next morning, she was able to quickly respond to my booking request once more. She has kept in touch regarding Jimmy’s health (which again, is essentially the fascinating process of sitting around waiting for him to pee) and given me a lot of useful advice on giving medication and general cat care. She has even shared some pictures of her own sweet cats! Jimmy seems to be firmly on the road to recovery, and he, his sister, and my dog are all finally adapting to life in Minneapolis. I can’t imagine having made it this far without Kayleigh’s help that first critical day after Jimmy came home. If you need excellent care for your cats, you need Kayleigh.

Kayleigh was fantastic at handling my naughty kitties and was very prompt in keeping me updated with everything. She was very patient and friendly with my babies and would absolutely recommend her to anyone! She even left my babies some toys which I appreciate so much 🥹

Kayleigh was great! She sent great and consistent updates, went above and beyond in her conscientiousness when my key had issues, and everything--packages, plants and of course most importantly the kitties--were well taken care of. Definitely recommend.

Kayleigh was an exceptional caretaker while I was away. Normally one of my cats is extremely shy, but she charmed him right away. She was a joy to work with. She was attentive and asked the right questions so she could take the best care of my voids (my black cats). I would highly recommend her for cat sitting. My cats adored her.

Goes above and beyond, extremely kind, and very communicative! My 2 year old boy was very stressed as it was his first weekend being left alone and Kayleigh did a great job in handling the situation and keeping him calm.

Frequently Asked Questions

Minneapolis cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $25.00. Prices will also depend on how long your cat needs company for, whether that be a drop-in visit or overnight stay in your home. Meowtel sitters offer 20, 45, and 60-minute drop-in visits that allow for fully tailored care for your kitties. Your caregiver may also need to charge a little more if they have to travel far, so we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in 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 for your kitties. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

We recommend that you book daily visits with your sitter to keep your cats in their routine and to help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.

Each Meowtel cat sitting visit will include the whole 9 yards: feeding, refreshing the water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, as well as any special requests you may have. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
