I'm Andrew Ezekiel | Cat Sitting in Minneapolis, MN

I used to have a diabetic cat (Mori) whom I loved very dearly. I was responsible for my cat's daily blood sugar testing, insulin management, dietary adjustments, and overall health tracking. Each of these steps in caring for his health further expressed how much love I carried for him. In his passing, I understood that the love and skill sets I had built for him motivated me to make those skills available to other special needs critters. Sometimes, we must take a short notice trip, and our fur children, with their unique requirements, can't come with us. That's where I want to come in and alleviate worry! I am comfortable giving shots, pills, fluid injections, applying creams, and other medications. I keep parents informed of minor changes in routine and love to send photo updates of their antics while you're away. These are the things I would want of a sitter while I was ...

Learn More About Andrew Ezekiel

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have three kitties. I have an elderly calico (18) named Padme. Then I have two Siamese siblings/littermates named Ume and Yuzu (both 1.5).

Are you usually available during holidays?

I am usually available during the holiday rush. If I am not, those days will be blocked off on my calendar.

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

I prefer to let shy/anxious kitties set the rules. I sit on the ground, stay put, offer a hand, and let them come to me on their terms. If I can, I'll leave a trail of treats for them to eat that come closer to me if they're curious! But if they do not want any engagement, I will not push.

Knowing that Andrew had experience with FIC cats put us at such ease while we were on our honeymoon, and through his updates we could tell how fully attentive he was to Pierogi's needs. Thanks again for taking such good care of Piero and making sure he wasn't lonely!

Andrew was excellent to work with on my first time using this service. He took great notes at our meet and greet to get to know my kitten and her routines. He was a pro interacting with her, patient and kind, and with his excellent updates, she clearly seemed comfortable and social on his visits. I'm happy there is a cat-specific service like this for times I need someone to check in on this energetic furball and I would recommend Andrew!

Andrew was great. He kept our kittens entertained and even trimmed their nails. in addition he made sure our 14 year old cat got plenty of attention. We would recommend Andrew to anyone who needs someone to watch their cats and plan on using him again!

Andrew continues to be a great caretaker of my babies. He has sat for me a number of times at this point and I am really pleased with his approach. He has been so patient with my shy kitty and finally got her to cuddle this time around, which is not an easy feat. He sends great updates and is very quick and easy to communicate with. Highly recommend.

Andrew has been exceptional to work with and I have worked with him a number of times now. He is very sweet and easy to communicate with. He has a lot of knowledge about cats and has done an amazing job with my cats, even slowly getting the shy one to come out of her shell. I will continue to work with Andrew. Highly recommend!

The Meowtel Promise & Satisfaction Guarantee

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations. For reservations where each visit is at or above $20 and paid for through Meowtel, your cat(s) will automatically be covered under our insurance policy in the event that things don't go as planned.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
