I'm Arpan
Cat Sitting in Minneapolis, MN
I’m comfortable with all the basics—feeding routines, litter box cleaning, playtime, medication if needed, and of course giving attention and affection (always on the cat’s terms). Every cat has their own personality, whether they... Hi! I’m a big cat person and a proud cat dad to two tabby boys, Rocky and Nugget, who pretty much run the house and keep me on my toes. Having cats of my own, I know how important it is to find someone you genuinely trust to care for them while you’re away.
I’m comfortable with all the basics—feeding routines, litter box cleaning, playtime, medication if needed, and of course giving attention and affection (always on the cat’s terms). Every cat has their own personality, whether they’re super social or more on the shy side, and I enjoy taking the time to get to know what makes each one comfortable.
My goal is to keep your cat happy, relaxed, and stress-free in their own environment. I treat every visit the way I’d want someone caring for my own cats—with patience, attention, and a lot of love for animals.
You can expect clear communication, updates during visits, and the peace of mind that your cat is in good hands. Looking forward to meeting your kitty(s)!🐈⬛

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have two fur boys in my kitty crew: Nugget (slims, slinky, nuhnuh) and Bubba (big boy, hubba bubba, big bubba boy)!
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
My typical process for working with a new cat parent is to set up a time ahead of our booking to meet them and their cat. It's important to me to hear from the parent as to how to make your cat the most comfortable not only for their sake but for your own peace of mind. I want this to be a positive experience for everyone involved! This short visit can be a chance to: 🐱 Meet the cats (and cat parents!) in person 🐾 Learn their routines, preferences, and where to find things 💊 Review medication routines, if applicable 🔑 Go over home access details + consider testing the key 📝 Review emergency preparedness expectations
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I am very used to timid and anxious cats as I have a couple myself. I think the most important thing in handling timid or anxious cats is creating a calm environment and allowing

Arpon was outstanding. We had detailed requests and he followed them with precision. But most importantly he showed care and love for our Gertie as though he were his own, tough to put a price tag on that. The photo reports were great with marvelous creativity, Arpon shows a talent for cat photography that was an additional surprise! There is zero hesitation to hire Arpon again, in fact we likely will, next month for our next trip out of town.

Arpan is an incredible cat sitter and an even better human. As a cat dad himself, he genuinely understands how much care, attention, and patience cats need. And he goes above and beyond to make sure every cat feels safe, comfortable, and loved. He’s extremely organized, communicative, and reliable, which makes the whole experience stress-free. You’ll get thoughtful updates, attention to detail, and total peace of mind while you’re away. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your cat like their own, Arpan is 100% your person. I couldn’t recommend him more.

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!
