I love spending time with cats, whether it’s offering comforting pets, playing with them, or simply sitting quietly while they warm up to me on their own terms. With a responsible and intuitive approach, I prioritize their well-being, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and cared for in their home environment. Trustworthy and considerate, I respect each cat’s boundaries and routines while providing attentive care. Whether they crave affection or space, I adapt to their needs, making their time without their owner as stress-free as possible.

Learn More About Rachel

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love getting to bond with each unique cat and offer them comfort and care in their own space! It's rewarding to observe their personalities and routines, whether they're playful and curious or more relaxed and independent. Watching them feel at ease while their owners are away brings a sense of fulfillment, knowing I’m helping them maintain a sense of normalcy and security. It’s a true joy to make their time without their owners stress-free.

What is your favorite cat toy?

Cat wands are a great choice! They’re so interactive and can really engage a cat's natural hunting instincts. Plus, they’re a great way to bond with a cat while giving them the exercise and stimulation they need.

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

Patience and gentleness are key, especially since I have a timid and anxious cat myself. I understand the importance of creating a calm and quiet environment where they feel safe. I always allow the cat to approach me at their own pace, avoiding direct eye contact and sudden movements that could cause stress. Speaking softly and giving them space is crucial, as well as providing a hiding spot where they can retreat if they need. Gradually introducing positive experiences, like offering treats or engaging in play, helps build trust over time.

Rachel is a deeply kind and responsible person who would do an excellent job of caring for your cat. She is great at communicating in a timely manner and ensures that you are always updated. The love and care she has for her own cat is apparent and I know that would translate to any cat she is watching. Rachel is also one of the most clean, respectful, and trustworthy people I know, making her and wonderful house/cat sitting guest. She is a great problem solver and is diligent about finding the best solution and communicating her questions when an issue arises. Were I fortunate enough to have a cat, she would be the first person I would call to cat sit.

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 $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!
