Learn More About Allison

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I have done cat sitting for neighbors and friends for as long as I can remember - probably since age 13, which means I've got 40 years of experience! I have purposely lowered my rates on this app because I'm new here and am hoping to get to know you and your cats!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Poppy, our cat, is a big orange tabby. She'd been through quite a bit before we got to be her people, so I've been learning about dealing with a more aggressive cat. It's pretty new to me, but she's improved by leaps and bounds in the year she's been with us. Some of it through building trust and some through finding the right meds with our vet. My family had 2 cats when I was a kid, and as an adult I've had a total of 6 cats. I am pretty sure I'm on my way to being a "cat lady"!

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

I've had escape artist cats a few times in my life, so when I enter the home, I am careful to keep my body positioned so the cats can't get past me. I lock the door while I'm there, and lock up carefully when I leave, again watching for those escape-motivated cats. If anything seems amiss in the house or with a cat, I'd reach out immediately. Also, when there is snow on the ground, I try to walk around outside for a little while so it looks like someone is home, and of course grab any leaflets or newspapers in the yard or door areas.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes, we usually celebrate holidays with extended family on a different day, and the celebrations are local. We rarely travel due to some health issues for family members, so I'm almost always available for holidays.

Allison is a fantastic cat sitter! She’s reliable, gentle, and truly understands feline personalities. My cat can be a bit shy, but Allison always takes the time to let her warm up and feel comfortable. I always feel at ease knowing she’s in such loving and capable hands, and I really appreciate the updates and attention to detail.

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 $24.00. 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.
