Katie's Cat Care And Enrichment

I'm Katie

Cat Sitting in Minneapolis, MN

I share my home with 3 amazing cats and we love exploring how much cats are capable of together! We do a lot of clicker training, collaborative care training, cat agility work, harness and leash training, cat nosework, interactive play, foraging and food puzzles, and one of my cats, Ember, has even learned to communicate using “talking” AIC buttons.

In addition to doting on my own cats, I work at a cat boutique store in St. Paul and in my spare time, I help out at Feline Rescue as an Enrichment Volunteer where I provide opportunities for shelter cats to relieve stress through play, petting, training, scent enrichment, etc. I have a certificate in Cat First Aid and Fear Free Shelter Training. I also run my own small business where I create and sell snuffle mats and toys designed specifically for cat...

I’m no stranger to caring for kitties and exploring many different ways to enrich their lives. I am an expert at interactive playtime with a wand toy, am experienced teaching kitties using positive reinforcement and clicker training, and have lots of creative forms of scent, auditory, and visual enrichment for bored kitties. I also love winning over shy kitties and showing them that I'm someone they can trust and feel safe with.

What you can expect from me when I care for your kitties:
- I will interact with your kitties in the way they prefer, whether that means cuddle time, play time, simply hanging out together, or a mix thereof
- I'll provide fresh water and food for them according to your instructions
- I'll thoroughly clean all litterboxes each visit and sweep/vacuum any stray litter
- I will clean up any accidents or hairballs and notify you of any health concerns
- I can bring in your mail and/or packages and water plants as directed
- I will send you detailed updates of how your kitties are doing with video and photos from each visit so you can be reassured your fur babies are healthy and happy

Katie was great with my girl Mila! Mila is typically a little timid, but she took to Katie right away at their Meet and Greet. Katie shared tons of pics and videos while I was away. Mila was having a blast playing and hanging out! A+ cat sitting experience 🙏🏽

Another amazing reservation with Katie. My senior kitty wasn’t feeling the greatest so she made sure to monitor him extra careful and send me lots of updates. It eased this cat parent’s anxiety.

I have used Katie multiple times and she always exceeds expectations. This reservation my cat was experiencing some issues and she went above and beyond to make sure he was doing ok. She always quells my anxieties and fears when I’m away from my senior kitty.

Katie is a life SAVER. We had an emergency with one of our cats and she last minute came to help and extended one of her visits. She's quick to respond and I've never felt more comfortable leaving our kitties behind when traveling, knowing they're in the best paws pawssible!

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 $29.00. 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 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!
