Cat Sitting in Saint Paul, MN

Hello! I'm Matt and I'm a cat nerd. My partner and I currently have 3 cats at home with us, and have deeply loved two others who have crossed the rainbow bridge. Three of the five cats we've lived with have had various special medical needs, such as diabetes, short colon disorder, and food allergies, so I have had quite a bit of experience helping cats get and stay healthy, happy, and comfortable. I am an artist and have a very fun and goofy personality, and I like to think that way of thinking and seeing the world has helped me relate to cats and earn their trust. I absolutely love our kitty roommates with all my heart (even though they have yet to pitch in on rent...) and hope to have the opportunity to meet and get to take the best care of your cats. Thanks!

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!
