Jess' Love For Cats Sitting Service

I'm Jessica

Cat Sitting in Minneapolis, MN

Hello! My name is Jess & I absolutely love cats! From their sassy independence to their cute toe beans, each has their own personality that makes them special. I am the proud aunt of 3 cats (absolutely spoil by bringing them toys & treats when I visit), and while my current residence does not allow cats, I have had several as pets growing up & as roommates pets that I have cared for like my own.

I currently work as a veterinary receptionist at a cat only clinic & have 10+ years experience in pet boarding (manager on duty for my shifts) & the veterinary field working at a few clinics. I am experienced at giving oral medications (liquid & pill), topicals/ointments (eye, ear, skin), injectables like insulin & subcutaneous fluids, & inhalers, to both happy & grumpy cats.
I always let a cat come to me when first meeting them, and make sure they are comfortable with me before proceeding & I read their body language to determine what they do & don't like (pets, belly rubs, etc)...

I am willing to travel around the Twin Cities & it's suburbs to provide my sitting services.
Mornings & evenings work best for me due to most of my work hours being 8a-6p, but on my days off I can be available in the afternoons as needed. I will communicate with you when I plan to be at you home for each shift during your reservation & will message you when I arrive so that you have a worry free sitting experience. I am very open to working with you to make sure your cat's needs are met!

For new clients I request a 5 day notice to allow time to schedule the meet & greet, but please feel free to message me if you have urgent sitting needs & I will try to accommodate! For repeat clients I only request a 2 day notice to allow for time to pick up a key if needed.

Outside of cat sitting, I enjoy hiking, going to concerts, reading, elaborate Halloween & Christmas decorating, movie nights with friends, Lush bath bombs, and traveling when I can.

With COVID still occasionally around, I am willing to wear a mask & use hand sanitizer or whatever makes you most comfortable. I am vaccinated & boosted.

I would love to be your cat's sitter & not only care for them but become their friend & give them all the love in the world while you are away ❤️ Thank you for taking the time to read my sitter listing!

Jessica was wonderful! She provided timely, detailed updates with plenty of photos and videos, and did a great job caring for our cranky senior cat. She was unfazed when our kitty came down with a UTI days before we left on vacation, and pivoted effortlessly to include a new med in the care regimen. We would reserve her again without hesitation.

Jessica was a great cat sitter! She came precisely at the agreed upon times and left very thorough messages about how all 3 of my cats were doing. I also received lots of pictures and videos. She did an excellent job taking care of my special needs cat, and gave all 3 individualized love and attention. She was also able to get my super shy cat rubbing up to her like she was his new best friend, and he typically does not warm up to new people so quickly!

Jessica did a great job taking care of my cats again. She left very detailed notes and lots of pics and videos. I can tell from the videos that my cats enjoy getting attention from her. One of my cats had some tummy troubles while I was gone and not only did she clean up his vomit, she gave me a heads up on which blankets I'd want to wash when I got home, which I really appreciated.

This is the second time Jessica has taken care of my cats, and again she did an excellent job! She left very detailed notes with each visit along with lots of pics and videos. She gave each cat lots of love and attention and successfully got my ornery cat's meds in him. She even cleaned up after my mischievous cat knocked his supplies all over the floor.

This is our third or fourth time asking Jessica to care for our kitties, including a new girl who is a little ball of stress (like her mom). Jessica charmed everyone again, and successfully pilled stressball both times said stressball needed her meds. Cats are calm, content, well exercised, medicated, and sad to see us return. They will be pleased when Jessica returns (and, if we have our druthers, she will return)!

We had another outstanding experience with Jessica caring for our senior cat, Donut, while we were on a family vacation. This was our third time booking with Jessica and she is wonderful to work with! She is an excellent communicator and caregiver. Jessica sent very detailed updates, and adorable pics and videos of Donut that our whole family looked forward to receiving. Jessica followed all instructions exactly plus went above and beyond. She brought in mail and packages, and updated us on the snowy weather and roads in our neighborhood. Donut was so happy and content in all of her videos and did just great while we were gone. Donut loved having Jessica care for her and it made our whole vacation better! We will definitely book with Jessica again the next time we travel!

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!
