Cat Sitting in Aliso Viejo, CA

I’ve been a dedicated pet sitter for as long as I can remember. I grew up with cats and have always had a special bond with them. For the past 2 years, I’ve been volunteering at a no-kill animal shelter, working with all kinds of cats, from playful kittens to the more reserved seniors.

I’ve been a dedicated pet sitter for as long as I can remember. I grew up with cats and have always had a special bond with them. For the past 2 years, I’ve been volunteering at a no-kill animal shelter, working with all kinds of cats, from playful kittens to the more reserved seniors. I currently have one kitty of my own, and I’ve never met a cat I didn’t love! I understand that every cat has their own unique personality, and I’m committed to providing each one with the attention, love, and care they need. During my visits, I focus on creating a calm and engaging environment—whether it’s cuddling up for a nap, engaging in playtime, or simply offering a cozy spot to relax. What sets me apart is my genuine passion for cats and my experience in handling a variety of temperaments, ensuring your furry friend feels comfortable and loved. I’m here to provide your cat with a whisker-approved experience that makes them feel right at home!

Learn More About Amanda

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I started cat sitting for family and friends back in high school, and it naturally grew from there as more people began reaching out. Now, with over 10 years of experience, caring for cats has become something I genuinely love doing. For the past couple of years, I’ve also been volunteering at a local animal shelter, which has given me hands-on experience with cats of all kinds — from shy and sassy to cuddly and curious. These experiences have helped me develop a deep understanding of how to make each cat feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their humans are away.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

What I enjoy most about cat sitting is the genuine connection I get to have with each cat. I have such a love for cats, especially because they’re often misunderstood. I love getting to know each cat’s unique personality and discovering what they enjoy. Whether they’re playful, cuddly, or quirky, every cat is so cute and silly in their own way, and it brings me so much joy to care for them and be a part of their life.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have a gray and white tabby with some orange tortoiseshell coloring named Nova. She’s my little shadow and follows me everywhere I go. I also consider our family cat Max, to be mine, even though I’m not living there anymore. Max is a sweet black kitty!

Amanda is the best! Our kitties usually hide from strangers and after just one visit they were waiting for her every time she came, and even rolling around when they saw her. Amanda sends pics after every visit, is very timely and a great communicator. We felt at ease knowing she was taking great care of our two kitties!

Amanda is the best! She took the time to get to know my girls, and kept us updated during every visit. She has no issues administering medication and managing the few quirks out two cats have developed over the years.

Amanda came over with a few hours notice, followed instructions I had written and sent me pictures from each visit. One of my cats is very timid and she let Amanda pet her the first day and came out from under my bed to see here every day after! Amanda is caring, responsible and has a calm energy that made my kitties comfortable and they clearly looked forward to seeing her!

Amanda did a great job for our kitties' first sit. She took great care of them, played with them and stayed in touch. She was especially patient with our nervous boy who spent a lot of time under the bed and even found him when he decided to hide himself in a drawer. We would definitely work with Amanda again!

Amanda was great! took really good care of our cats over 10 days. I appreciate her attention to detail (spotted a hairball and cleaned it up), and I could tell through her photo updates that our cats were very comfortable and happy to see her each day :)

We had a wonderful experience with Amanda. She was incredibly kind, patient, and attentive with Marley, who is a senior and very shy. Amanda took the time to make her feel safe and comfortable, which gave us great peace of mind. She also provided thoughtful updates and photos at each visit, which we truly appreciated. We’re so grateful for her care and would happily recommend her.

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.

Aliso Viejo cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $32.00. 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 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 Meet & Greet!
