Cozy Cat Sitting & Boarding 🐾❤️🏡

Pet care experience

I love cats, world traveling, my daughters (12 + 22 years old), veggie gardening, and the perfect cup of coffee. 🐈🌱☕️🌍 I strive to be the cat sitter I'd want for MY cats if I were away: professional, communicative, dependable, and a huge cat lover (that part is easy). Having grown up around animals, and being a proud cat owner, I understand the unique needs and personalities of our furry friends. I have previously worked as a nanny, earning the trust and respect of the families I have worked with, and launched multiple businesses. I’ve watched every episode of ‘My Cat From Hell’ and I firmly believe that there are no bad cats, only cats who require specialized attention and care. I am cat first aid and CPR trained. You can relax, knowing your cats will be safe and receive the utmost care and affection during our time together, with cat specialty and cat-exclusive care (sorry, no dogs). Sincerely, Alisa (pronounced Ahh - lee - sah)

Could not be happier with our kitties stay with Alisa! She was super professional and kind. She had a great space for the kitties to feel safe in a different place. She sent daily photos and updates. We appreciated that there were no dogs in the home since our kitties are not used to dogs. Will use Alisa again!

Alisa was so accommodating and easy to work with! She sent constant updates on our kitty and did everything to make sure he had the best visit possible while we were away. Would easily recommend her to anyone!

Alisa was lovely to work with, getting us daily updates and photos on how our senior cat was doing in her “cat hotel” - which was a really cool set up. He seemed to enjoy the variety of platforms and hiding spaces. I would happily work with her again!

Alisa was a fantastic cat sitter. Extremely professional and punctual, but also genuinely cares about your pet. Couldn’t recommend her services enough.

Information Alisa M. would like to know about your pet

It's helpful to know as much about your cats as possible, including any medical concerns, favorite treats, and how they like to play. I look forward to our pressure-free meet-and-greet session where I'll get to know you, your cat(s), and their routine to ensure everyone feels comfortable when you're away. I will bring lots of pictures of where your cat will be staying (my home) for all boarding clients.

A typical day

** Boarding in My Home - Catio ** Discover a one-of-a-kind cat boarding option that features a spacious, tailor-made, indoor Catio with floor-to-ceiling walls, where your feline friends can relax and play in comfort. The Catio is nestled in my cozy and warm basement apartment, on the bottom floor of a triplex in South Minneapolis. I share my space with my 11-year-old daughter and three sweet cats. We would love to take care of your little ones while you are away. As a nonprofit Executive Director, I work from home and spend a lot of time on phone calls and computer work. While appointments occasionally take me away from home for 3-4 hours at a time, cats will be safely nestled in this large cat-centric enclosed space. The regularly sanitized Catio features cozy lounge spaces, baskets, shelves galore, privacy panels, as well as, high and low hiding spots. It is designed for one or two cats from the same cat family to enjoy a relaxing and comfortable space in my cat-friendly and dog-free home. Each cat will get litter included, lots of human interaction, cozy lodging, and 1 hour (minimum) to run, exercise, and explore freely inside my home. While my three friendly, neutered, and vaccinated house cats will be present, interaction is based on cat and owner comfort, so your cat doesn't need to get along with other cats to stay with me. All Boarder Cats Get • A private stay • Daily owner updates with pictures • 1 hour (minimum) to run, exercise, and explore freely inside my home • Regular human interaction throughout the day and night, as while this service does not include 24/7 care, I do live and work on-site • Fresh Step litter included • Medication as needed Owners Bring • Vet records (spay/neuter date, and immunizations) • Cat's regular food (for length of stay) • Cats' favorite toys and bedding • Cat Carrier(s) If necessary: • Medications and instruction • Specialty Litter (Fresh Step included) Service is available to any MN cat family. Pick-up and drop-off by the owner, at 36th and Harriet, from 9 a.m. - 7 p.m., by appointment only. ** Drop-In Visits in Your Home ** From feeding and refreshing litter boxes to playtime and cuddling, I will make sure your cats feel loved and content while you're away, with once or twice-a-day drop-in visits to your home. Every visit consists of: • Detailed updates and pictures • Fresh water and fresh food • Cleaning of the food and water container • Clearing the litter box (and taking out the trash) • Caring, affection, playtime, & companionship • Tidying up cat-related messes • Medication is given as needed • Basic House-Sitting Services (Placing garbage outside, adjusting lights and blinds, collecting mail, and ensuring the security of your home)
