I am a proud kitty mom and a foster fail of a one eyed cat. I have always been a cat enthusiast. And if given the chance to care for your loved one, I will send photos and spend quality time visiting with them. I live in Oakland, but I would be happy to help anyone within a 10 mile radius of MacArthur Bart. I have patience and kindness for all animal interactions. I understand how sensitive cats are and I understand how to connect with them. Thank you.

Learn More About Amanda

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love cat sitting because I love spending time with cats and getting to know them and helping them to feel comfortable trusting and being around new people .

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have a seven-year-old kitty and her name is Bug. She is a Maine coon who has only one eye. I became her mom after being her foster mom. She had just gotten out of surgery when I took her in.

Are you usually available during holidays?

I rarely travel during holidays because I like to stay home when everyone else is travelling . I would be happy to care for your cat during holiday periods.

Medication Experience:

Topical Ointments Eye/Ear Drops Oral Medication / Pills

Amanda was punctual and communicative when we were setting up our meet and greet. She took notes about my cat's routines and preferences. For the actual day, Amanda sent me lots of photos and an update on what they did together and what she took care of.

Absolutely no complaints. I was very pleased by Amanda’s attentiveness to my cat’s medication needs as well as his social needs. He seemed responsive to her friendly overtures even though he’s normally shy.

This was the first time I left my cats for multiple days since I adopted them, and Amanda made it so anxiety free! she was kind and attentive and clearly tended to their needs. She was very trustworthy and I loved getting updates showing the cats clearly having a blast with her! They were very calm and happy when I returned.

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.

Oakland cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $37.00. 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 free 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 free Meet & Greet!
