I'm Alaina | Cat Sitting in Saint Paul, MN

Throughout all twenty-four years of my life, there was never really a time that I was without one or more cats living with me. Growing up my family has loved a total of 8 cats and they currently have 1 cat (the white kitty in my photos, Morpheus) and 2 dogs (Teddy & Zora) that I often come over to take care of. I was always the one to volunteer my room to help introduce any new pets to the existing ones. One of their previous cats was on and off oral antibiotics that I helped with. I currently live in an apartment with my boyfriend and our cat Lucy. She has a mild case of feline asthma and I have to give her an oral medication once a week. All animals have a special place in my heart and I am very intrigued by their behavior and what makes them unique; so I pursued a Bachelor's of Science in animal health and behavior ('23). During the spring/summer of 2024, I interned at the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center of MN in their mammal nursery for 4 months with a total of 435 hours. There, I learned how to handle various small mammals for feedings, medications, giving them subcutaneous fluids, and more. I now shadow in their veterinary treatment room once a week and learn something new e...

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

I’ve been cat and dog sitting for my parents for the last 4 years and I’ve helped friends in the past during high school with their cat and dog sitting gigs. But I’m an expert on taking care of various cats (and animals in general) due to having them my entire life.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love everyone’s pet almost as much as my own. I am always eager to meet new furry friends! I’m one of those ppl that will walk up to someone with a dog and ask to pet it. If I see a stray cat or neighborhood outdoor cats I immediately offer my friendship.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

My current cat is a spoiled only child. She is 4 years old. Her name is Lucy and she lives with my boyfriend and me in our apartment. My parents cats (the ones I grew up with and often care for) are getting up in age, but are still full of life. Their names are George(17), Morpheus(17), and Stella(11).

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

Saint Paul 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.
