I have grown up with cats and my husband and I have a 3 year old torbie cat named Luna.

All cats are different, so I’d want to ease my presence as to not startle them. I’d try to play with cats as well as provide a treat so they can start to trust me.

I also like to discuss with the cat owner regarding the cat’s feeding routine and special diets, interesting quirks the cat has, favorite toys, and much more. I am comfortable giving medicine to animals.

In addition to visiting, playing, and feeding the cat(s), I’d also clean litter boxes.

Learn More About Karen

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

My husband and I have a 3 year old torbie, named Luna. A few of her nicknames include: Tuna and petunia.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

Make sure you choose someone that you feel comfortable with. You want to make sure that you have peace of mind as you are not home.

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

Come with a quiet and calm energy. I don’t want to startle them, so I try to not startle them even more by being loud. I try to sit next to them, have a treat, and slowly put my hand towards them so they can sniff me.

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.

Saint Paul cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $28.00. 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 free 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 free Meet & Greet!
