Learn More About Tya

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes, I have three cats, each with their own personality and lessons to share. Their names are Suri, Bernard, and Cinnamon. They’ve taught me so much about patience, play, and reading body language. Suri enjoys quiet company, Bernard loves cuddles and play, and Cinnamon is endlessly curious. Living with them has helped me understand how different every cat’s rhythm and comfort level can be.

What is your favorite cat toy?

I really like wand toys with feathers and ribbons (or rather my cats do). They bring out a cat’s natural curiosity and hunting instinct. But honestly, I love seeing how cats turn everyday objects into their own toys. As long as it’s safe for them, I enjoy watching how they make a game out of something simple, like a bottle caps or cardboard boxes.

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

I move slowly, stay quiet, and let them approach when they feel ready. I give them space to observe me first and pay close attention to small cues like tail movements or ear positions to understand their comfort level. Sometimes I just sit nearby, reading or talking softly so they can become familiar with my presence. Giving cats choice and consistency helps them feel safe and build trust over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Saint Paul cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $25.00. Prices will also depend on how long your cat needs company for, whether that be a drop-in visit or overnight stay in your home. Meowtel sitters offer 20, 45, and 60-minute drop-in visits that allow for fully tailored care for your kitties. Your caregiver may also need to charge a little more if they have to travel far, so we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in 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 for your kitties. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

We recommend that you book daily visits with your sitter to keep your cats in their routine and to help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.

Each Meowtel cat sitting visit will include the whole 9 yards: feeding, refreshing the water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, as well as any special requests you may have. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
