I'm Andrew | Cat Sitting in Minneapolis, MN

I used to have a diabetic cat (Mori) whom I loved dearly. I was responsible for my cat's daily blood sugar testing, insulin management, dietary adjustments, and overall health tracking. Each of these steps in caring for his health further expressed how much love I carried for him. In his passing, I understood that the love and skill sets I had built for him motivated me to make those skills available to other special needs critters. Sometimes, we must take a short notice trip, and our fur children, with their unique requirements, can't come with us. That's where I want to come in and alleviate worry! I am experienced in giving shots, pills, fluid injections, and applying creams and other medications. I keep parents informed of minor changes in routine and love to send photo updates of their antics while you're away. These are the things I...

Andrew did a fantastic job of caring for my 2 elderly cats while we were out of town for a week. One of my cats requires insulin injections twice daily and he did a wonderful job of ensuring she received her medication while we were gone. As well, she was a shy kitty at first and wouldn't come out from under the king-size bed for the first couple of days but Andrew managed to work around that setback until she finally came out. Andrew also provided detailed updates and pictures. Highly recommend!

We had a 15 days trip and I requested Andy’s cat sitter services as he has experience giving medication to cats. We had a meet and greet where I explained to him some details and instructions and he impressed me immediately! We have two sweet cats being one outgoing and one very shy. The shy one got hurt just couple of days before our trip and Andy was absolutely amazing keeping us posted on his recovery and giving us insights on his wellbeing, a truly expert. He sent us daily messages and pictures, and even got our mail inside. He won our outgoing cat’s heart right away and never gave up on our shy one until he finally got to pet him!! We came home to our house and two happy kitties that were definitely loved and cared for. We already booked our next sitting with Andy and are now his recurrent clients. 😻

Andy was amazing! he provided overnight care for our senior cat who requires insulin injections. He has a lot of experience with older diabetic kitties and we felt so at ease knowing our cat was in his care. He provided daily updates and his approach with cats is intuitive and so caring. I would absolutely recommend Andy!

The Meowtel Promise & Satisfaction Guarantee

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations. For reservations where each visit is at or above $20 and paid for through Meowtel, your cat(s) will automatically be covered under our insurance policy in the event that things don't go as planned.

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 $28.00. 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.
