I'm Amanda | Cat Sitting in Oakland, CA
I don't know where I would be without cats. They have helped me manage my anxiety for the past 2 decades. We currently own 4! Scout is almost 13, Pickle & Pippa are almost 11, and young Succotash just turned 2. Pippa has medical needs so I have experience administering pills and liquid meds. In the past we've fostered cats and kittens, both for rescues and neighborhood strays. It may also be how we went from 2 cats to 4 cats. 😊 A bit more about me is that I'm a voracious reader and have had past lives as a bookseller and Children's Books Specialist/Buyer. I also love boardgames, TV, puzzles, gin cocktails, comic books, trying new restaurants, and traveling with my friends! I'm currently available to cat-sit in the East Bay. I can take morning, afternoon or evening app...
Amanda's Reviews
Bon
Amanda did an excellent job taking care of our cat. Her communication was consistent, informative, and exactly what we wanted. Knowing she was taking care of things and providing us with updates is what allowed us to enjoy our vacation and not worry about our cat. We will definitely hire her again in the future.

Amanda provides great updates and photos. we returned to clean litter boxes and content kitties.
Melissa
Amanda did a great job with Asha again even though Asha got a little I’ll during my short time away. she kept me updated and showed genuine concern about Ashas wellbeing even after the visit. will definitely continue to book her.
Melissa
Amanda did a great job with my cranky senior kitty. She administers medication, feeds her and keeps the box clean and tries to engage her even when my cat is anxious or aggressive. Definitely recommend and will continue booking her.
Kayla
Amanda took great care of our boys. She played with them, and made sure they got plenty of love while we were away this weekend.

Frequently Asked Questions
The average price for a cat sitter is $41.00.
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.
