I'm Jena | Cat Sitting in Minneapolis, MN
I've never met a cat I didn't like...even the spicy ones! I had my first bottle fed kitten at age 5 when we found her alone under my porch. I learned the importance of allowing mother cats to move their babies, but not all kittens are accepted. My Tippy was what sparked my true love of animals. I have a great passion for animal advocacy/rescue having volunteered at AAWL (a no-kill shelter in AZ). My duties included dog walking/cat socialization/cage cleaning/bottle feeding/administering medicine and educating the adopters. My knowledge of cat behavior is extensive from the training I received while volunteering. Caring for senior cats is no issue as I have cared for several over the years and am aware/sensitive to their special needs. I've administered meds from oral to diabetic insulin shots which I have the most experience with for cats. It was devastating to me when had to say goodbye to my cat Hazelnuts in Dec 2022. Although I am not ready to adopt, I want to help others with cat sitting so they can be assured their cats are getting the best care while out of town/at work. My friends rely on me for cat sitting and advice when they are unsure abo...

Jena's Reviews
Suzanne
so grateful to have Jena watch my girl while I was out of town. lots of pictures. she succeeded at getting Lettie out of her shell and got in some great playtime. thank you!
Jade
Jenna is absolutely amazing and is able to somehow magically charm one of my shy kitties to the point that my kitty snuggles with her! I know when she's here with them that they are in amazing hands and they even look a little bit sad that she's not still here whenever we return. lol
Terry
I cannot overstate how comfortable I am leaving Yzma in the care of Jena. You will not be disappointed.
Terry
I contacted Jena on just a few days notice and she went out of her way to find a time to meet and familiarize herself with Yzma's routines. Her care was exceptional, even noting a fee concerns with Yzma's eyes. But more so, she was such a good companion to Yzma that I'm afraid I am no longer Yzma's favorite. I highly recommend Jena to anyone looking for a cat sitter. I will definitely use her again.
Boyd
Went great. My cat has a finicky personality and Jena was great with him.

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 $28.00. 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.
