I'm Marykate | Cat Sitting in Saint Paul, MN
hi! my name is MaryKate and I have been cat sitting and dog sitting for over 10 years. I have worked with a variety of animals, including geriatric, medical needs, small animals including hamsters, rats, and exotics ( i.e. tortoises, birds, horses, and hermit crabs.) I love animals in all the forms they come in and know that each one is special and unique. I live and work in st. Paul and the metro area of Minnesota. I love meeting new kitties and learning all about their personalities and what makes them, them! if your kitty does need medical attention, I do have experience in medication giving, multiple times per day. in many different forms wether it's in pill, liquid, or mixing it in food, I got this covered. I also have a background in administering eye drops, ear drops, and topical ointments to kitties when need be. If your cat does require wound care, I have also done this as well. I have worked with irrigating out and packing/bandaging the wound. I am very specific and will...

Marykate's Reviews
Kay
Marykate did an amazing job of caring for my arthritic curmudgeon and for my two shy semi-ferals. I was amazed that she was able to interact with both the boys within a couple of days! Her photos were artistic and her updates were detailed and complete. We returned home to 3 happy cats.

This was our first time using a service like Meowtel, so we were nervous and not sure what to expect. Marykate was very helpful and considerate as we discussed how it works and what to expect. Our two cats are very shy and anxious around new people, and although they didn't earn any gold stars in bravery, Marykate went above and beyond to check in and make each cat feel comfortable. She was so kind and met each cat at their level of interaction, even when they just wanted to stay curled up under a blanket. Marykate gave us such thorough updates after each visit. Having her check in while we were away gave us such a peace of mind that our cats were being well attended to in our absence. Do not hesitate to book with Marykate, we definitely will be booking with her again!

MaryKate went above and beyond to take care of my two kitties. She must give off good vibes because my extremely shy cat warmed to MaryKate quickly and she was fast friends with my other cat, too. 😊 I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation because I knew that my cats were being well cared for and when you have cats that need insulin every 12 hours, that is hard to find.

The positive reviews are legit, she's great and worth the money. She went above and beyond. Entertaining my kitty, following my instructions and taking notes of feeding and litter box care (she did the litterbox even though I said she didn't need to). Definitely recommend her. 10/10

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 $28.00. 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.
