Learn More About Amanda

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

I've been a catsitter for almost 3 years and a cat owner for over 20 years. It's been great for my mental health! I love meeting new animal friends.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Getting to know the personalities of all the kitties! I'm also partial to a True Snuggler of a cat.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

It's always nice when a shy kitty warms up to you, it's so rewarding. A client who's responsive to your daily check-ins is always a plus!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have 4! Scout, Pickle, Pippa, and Succotash. They range in age, from 4 to 15!

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

Trust your gut, especially when you meet them in person. You're entrusting your babies to us! 😊

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

I get in touch with them as soon as I accept a reservation, making sure they know to fill out the Vet Release Form, and also to schedule a Meet & Greet. I always make sure to answer all of their questions and assure them that they'll hear from me (and receive pics) during each visit. I like to assure new clients that there's no such thing as too much information when it comes to helping me keep their cats fed, safe and cared for.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

I always make sure to lock myself into a home when I'm visiting, and to keep an eye out while opening the door in case a kitty decides to make a bid for freedom. If a cat has been social previously I like to make sure I lay eyes on them at each visit. (Cats can lock themselves in rooms, etc.) The house is always locked and alarm is set when I leave.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes! I know it's important to my clients to be available over holiday periods.

What is your favorite cat toy?

Definitely the cat dancer. It's harder to destroy than other wand toys and I've never met a playful cat who didn't love it. I carry them with me and leave them behind if the kitty becomes attached.

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

Taking it at their pace is very important. I'm never going to force a cat to come out of hiding or make them interact with me. If it's early days I'll use treats and toys to entice (this usually works with young kitties). Giving them slow blinks lets them know I'm not a threat. With my super shy kitties I'll talk to them while I'm tending to their needs, but I have a few that I never see and that's ok! As long as I see a used litterbox I know they're ok. 😊

Amanda picked up our request last-minute due to an emergency and was very communicative abt the cats when she saw them. there was a misunderstanding about scheduling and she was kind enough to refund for one of the days. Very friendly and the kitties seemed to warm up quickly!! (they’re usually very shy)

We (my cats and I) can’t say enough great things about Amanda. Shes very attentive to the cats needs. Provides great updates on how the boys are eating, and play time. One of our boys is very shy but Amanda has mastered the art of being able to get our shy guy to play and come out to socialize. Amanda is great with cats (and people) and we love her!

Amanda is amazing! We arrived home after almost 10 days away to a happy kitty! He's very needy, so this was impressive! Amanda also went above and beyond by getting a new water fountain I ordered out of the mail and then assembling it after I broke ours the night before our trip! Thank you so much, Amanda!

Amanda was referred to us through our vet. We were leaving for a trip in a few days and needed to fill some gaps in our cart care schedule. Amanda was very flexible with her availability and was able to come over the next day for a cat meet and meet exchange. Amanda was friendly, prompt, professional, and went above and beyond. She did a great job administering meds to our very stranger-averse cat. We will absolutely be hiring Amanda again!

My second booking with Amanda went as well as the first. My sweet, sociable Haggis lost his little brother Hamish just a week earlier and had been extra clingy with me, but I knew Amanda would give him the attention and sense of security that he needed. I received lots of updates from Amanda with photos, and came home to a relaxed and happy kitty.

I have two cats, one outgoing and confident, but on oral medication for a tooth issue, and one very shy kitty on oral medication for severe anxiety. I cannot recommend Amanda and Meowtel enough. Meowtel understands the needs of anxious cat parents and special needs kitties, and Amanda is the purrfect sitter for an anxious and shy cat. I have not traveled in four years, primarily because every time I leave overnight, my shy cat gets cystitis, a painful and potentially life-threatening bladder condition induced by stress. The first time it happened, I had been gone for a week with a neighbor coming in twice a day to feed, scoop, and play, but I still ended up with a $1000 emergency vet visit the day that I got home because there was bloody pee everywhere (including my bed) that my neighbor didn’t notice. Every time I traveled after that, I had to cover all my furniture with pee pads, and my trips got shorter and shorter until COVID hit and I basically stopped traveling. I am determined to travel again and had a work trip coming up, so decided to use that as a trial of Meowtel. I initially booked a different sitter for three nights more than a month in advance, but two weeks before my trip, that sitter messed up her calendar and missed our Meet & Greet. I was on the verge of a panic attack when I called Meowtel. Stephanie (from Meowtel) was totally professional and sympathetic and immediately found that Amanda was available for my dates and could also do a Meet & Greet within two days. I noticed Amanda had a one-star review, but decided that it was an outlier and I booked her. I was right. Even though Amanda took notes during the Meet & Greet, as a neurotic cat parent who hasn’t traveled in four years, I felt compelled to leave her several notes with detailed instructions. I apologized to Amanda for the notes but she assured me that she actually appreciated them! She said that the more information she got, the better. That was reassuring. I was extremely happy and relaxed throughout my trip because: -I got several notes with pictures several times a day, every single day that I was gone. - I could tell from the photos that my anxious cat was not only not hiding from her, but was exposing his belly to Amanda, which meant that he was comfortable and would eventually allow her to touch his belly. A first! I came home to two relaxed and calm kitties who didn’t even seem to notice my absence. This is the first time that has ever happened. In the past, even when I’ve been gone for one night, I could tell when I got home that both cats were on edge. They would both follow me around the house until I sat down, and then just climb all over me. This time, one cat greeted me at the door and then slowly walked away, and the other was still waking up from a nap, and only got up to sniff my luggage. Success! I CAN travel again! I hope that I can continue to book Amanda. She seems to understand what cats need to feel safe and happy. And she understands what people like me need to enjoy being away from home.

Amanda arrives promptly at mealtimes, and makes sure to play a lot with our 4 toy-loving kitties. Even our two shyer cats have started to play with her. She sends us photos daily so we can see how they’re doing. Amanda is our first choice for cat sitter.

We met Amanda in person and went over our requests and general rules of taking care of our cat. From the get-go, Amanda did not listen well and didn't seem engaged with us or our cat. We requested 6pm evening visits in the messages and reiterated that in person. Her daily visits varied between 3 and 5 for the four days. We also requested that she be fed her dinner food from the fridge, but it appears that happened only once. We also requested daily litter box cleaning, but that also only happened once. When we came back, there were multiple pee and poops in the box. We mentioned having Ring cameras in the home since we can check-in on our cat while we're gone and she noted that she just expects all her clients to have cameras. The Ring cameras gave us the opportunity to see interactions, the level of care, and be notified when she arrived. We can't recommend based upon our experience and interactions.

Amanda was extremely communicative and sent us detailed updates & photos from every visit with our four cats. She played with them and even left a string toy that our twins had become attached to.

Amanda is awesome!! Our sweet cat hasn't done great in kennels previously, so knowing that she was able to stay home and have daily care was such a treat. Amanda provided daily check in via ***** with pictures which helped us feel even more reassured. One of the days ***** was "extra spicy" and Amanda let us know she gave her some space, while still tending to her food, litter and water bowl. Amanda even left a new little toy for our cat :) I highly recommend Amanda!

Frequently Asked Questions

Oakland cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $37.00. 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.
