Sofie's Outstanding Kitty Sitting

I'm Sofie

Cat Sitting in Minneapolis, MN

Cats are not only my passion, but the creatures I enjoy caring for and being around most. I grew up having cats, and also rescuing and raising foster cats- doing everything from euthanasia shelter rescue, fostering and bottle feeding newborn kittens without a mother, to TNR.

While living in California I rescue adopted my current two cats, Berry (5) and Cream, (4 and a half). Both were rescued from unsafe situations. I consider myself very lucky to spend my days with them at home. When Cream was only a few weeks old, (he was abandoned at only two weeks) he was diagnosed with Panlukopenia virus. I hadn’t dealt with this before. He had a poor prognosis, given his age and therefore lack of vaccine against it, he had a 10% chance of survival...
Cats are not only my passion, but the creatures I enjoy caring for and being around most. I grew up having cats, and also rescuing and raising foster cats- doing everything from euthanasia shelter rescue, fostering and bottle feeding newborn kittens without a mother, to TNR.

While living in California I rescue adopted my current two cats, Berry (5) and Cream, (4 and a half). Both were rescued from unsafe situations. I consider myself very lucky to spend my days with them at home. When Cream was only a few weeks old, (he was abandoned at only two weeks) he was diagnosed with Panlukopenia virus. I hadn’t dealt with this before. He had a poor prognosis, given his age and therefore lack of vaccine against it, he had a 10% chance of survival. I was devastated, but I quickly educated myself, with much help from our vet, on the best ways I could care for him.
I administered medication orally as well as tube feeding and under the skin fluids.
Though this was one of the scariest times in my life of caring for cats, I am so grateful to say that he pulled through. He is now healthy, happy, and almost 2 years old! The joy I felt knowing that I contributed to saving his life has never left me.
I believe all cats deserve love, care, and a chance even when it looks like they have none.

Outside of my own cats, I worked at Crumbs & Whiskers cat cafe in Los Angeles part time as a Lead Host. There I got to meet, care for, and help cats get adopted into the best possible homes. I also was able to educate children and people with little cat experience on proper ways to interact with cats.

I am currently located in South Uptown and have flexible availability and hours!

Thank you for your time and I hope to be the purrrfect sitter for your kitties!

Sofie was an excellent cat sitter! She sent status reports and pictures daily. She also went above and beyond in cleaning up after the kitties. My normally shy cat enjoyed lots of play time and brushing. Both cats were lovingly cared for. I highly recommend Sofie, and would absolutely hire her again.

Sophie is always so communicative and great with our kitties! She handles mediation and different food types and is always willing to help out with minor chores like picking up mail and taking the trash out. We love using her as our cat sitter and always feel confident that our babies are taken care of!

Sofie has watched our kitty a couple times now and has always kept her content. I can always tell from the photos she sends that MooMoo is happy, fed, and entertained, which is exactly what we and any pet owner wants when hiring a sitter.

Sofie did an excellent job taking care of my 2yo cat for ten days, including giving her shots and oral syringes, lots of playtime with photo updates, and even noticing when her litter was low. I would happily book Sofie again 😊

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!
