Cat Sitting in Saint Paul, MN

I've had family cats since I was 2, and owned my own cats for the last 6-1/2 years now. I've raised and taken care of cats of all ages, ranging from 10 weeks old to 21+.

I work from home with a fairly flexible schedule. I can work around feeding and medication schedules, and will take the time to make sure your cats are well loved while you're gone.

I work from home with a fairly flexible schedule. I can work around feeding and medication schedules, and will take the time to make sure your cats are well loved while you're gone.

I meet cats where they're at. I'm coming into their home, where they live, and seek to make them as comfortable as possible. I make sure their environment is as calm and clean as possible, and give them plenty of love and encouragement as we move through barriers together.

I will spend time with the animals doing whatever they love doing! Playing, chilling, eating, it really doesn’t matter. I love doing whatever the animals find fun and entertaining.

Learn More About Alex

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

I’ve been cat sitting now for over 2 years. I’ve visited cats of all needs and temperaments, and loved them all so much.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I truly love when they start to get comfortable with me and you can see the trust start to build. I love seeing them open up and show their personalities bit by bit, and I get to bond with each one!

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

With anxious cats, I’ll sit in the room with them at a distance they seem comfortable with. I talk to them in a calm low voice and let them know that I’m just there to love them. I let them approach me instead of pushing it, and let them go at their own pace.

My partner and I were nervous about traveling while one of our cats is having health issues and needed to take meds. Alex did a great job of looking after him (and our other 2 cats) and communicating with us each visit. I would highly recommend them, especially if your cats have any special needs!

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 $29.00. 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!
