Cat Sitting in Saint Paul, MN
Learn More About Matthew
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I would have to say getting to know new cats' personalities. It's amazing how each cat I have ever met has such a distinct personality and learning about new cat pals is so rewarding.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
We do currently have three: LuLu the Queen of our jungle, Xaime the goofy tux boy, and Basil is the sweet marshmallow boy. They are all so amazing in their own ways and have such distinctive personalities, and thank goodness they all get along with and love each other.
What is your favorite cat toy?
At least up until now, it would have to be mouse toys, especially those with realistic fur. I absolutely love watching cats chase after them, pick them up with one paw and fling them around. I will never tire of watching that play and instinct come out of a cat.

We had a wonderful experience with Matthew! He took excellent care of our two cats while we were away, including managing our diabetic cat’s insulin injections and feeding schedule with great attention and care. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing that our cats were not only safe but also getting lots of love and attention. Matthew was reliable, communicative, and clearly very comfortable handling the extra responsibility that comes with caring for a diabetic pet. Our cats were happy and relaxed when we returned, which says everything. We would absolutely recommend Matthew to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!

Second time having Matthew take care of our two cats. He provided excellent care to our two cats. He has been an excellent cat sitter. One of our cats is diabetic and the other had to wear a cone and he was able to provide the right care for both. He provides prompt updates and makes us feel secure knowing our cats are in good care.

This is my 3rd time with Matthew. One of my cats hides - even from me - but seems to accept him (more than anyone else). My other cat adores him! He always sends great pics and I know my fur babies are well taken care of. I'll continue using him as long as he'll have us. 😘

Matthew provided amazing care for my cats. He was clearly knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. When one of my cats turned out to be unexpectedly shy, he was super flexible and accommodating with requests to adjust care & feeding routines so she still got what she needed. His communication was so helpful, with quick and clear updates throughout. I felt my cats were in very good hands and would absolutely use him again!

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!

Matt was amazing! He was very attentive with our two boys and they really loved his belly rubs! Matt also went above and beyond when we had an emergency flight delay and we added an extra day last minute. I cant wait to book him again and my cats are looking forward to his returns as well!

Matthew did a wonderful job caring for our senior cat Donut! She was so comfortable and affectionate with him from their first meet-and-greet. He clearly adores cats and is such a thoughtful caregiver. We felt great knowing Donut was enjoying time with Matthew while we were away. He brushed her on every visit, and sent adorable pictures of Donut with timely updates letting us know she was doing great! Matthew also kept the areas around her food and litter box very tidy which was greatly appreciated since Donut can be a little messy. We had a terrific experience working with Matthew and we would love to have him care for Donut again in the future. I highly recommend him!

Matthew was the best! Meeting him and seeing how much of an enthusiastic person and cat lover he was helped us be able to leave for a few days without stress. Our cat has had some eating and health changes since our move plus his senior age. Our cat was 'out' as in visible and vocal around Matthew which was amazing! And communication with updates and photos was so nice of him!! Our cat recently finished some medication and knowing Matthew can do that if necessary was so good to know ahead of scheduling.

We had a great experience with Matthew and really appreciated his patience, flexibility, and persistence. When our cranky, elderly cat resisted taking her daily pills, he didn’t give up and went so far as to bring pill pockets from his own home to make the process go more smoothly. Though our kitty may not still have been very happy with the whole situation, the humans couldn’t be more pleased!
Missy

Matthew’s love and caring for cats was evident when we met with him. Our senior cat stayed hidden but she was happy to see us and was in top top shape. Matthew communicated after each visit and followed (very detailed) instructions with purrfection. We haven’t always had this which makes it more stressful to leave. We are really happy that Matthew looked after her.

I greatly appreciate Matthew taking care of my boys when I needed it most! My cats were not given the proper attention with a previous Sitter, and Matthew made up for that by hanging out with them and making sure they were snuggled and happy. I could not be more grateful for him stepping up when I needed someone!
