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 14, Pickle & Pippa are almost 12, and young Succotash just turned 3. 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
Naomi

Debra
Amanda was reliable and thorough. We felt comfortable leaving our cat in her care while we were away.
Adam
Another wonderful weekend away knowing Amanda is taking great care of our cats!
Michelle
Amanda took care of our kitten while we were on our first vacation after adopting her. She sent updates every day when she arrived and left and sent lots of pix. She made sure the house stayed a comfortable temp for her when the weather was quite warm. Made us feel at ease while we were away.
Valerie
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!

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 $42.00. 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.
