Learn More About Amy

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

I have been cat sitting for at least 4 years now formally. Informally I have been cat sitting for much longer.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love animals, so taking care of cats has just always been a wonderful experience for me. I love seeing the kitties and the different breeds but I also love knowing that I’m taking care of those shy kitties as well.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have one mainecoon mix named Rahja. She is about 15 years old and she is a spoiled queen.

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

The interview is just as important for you as for them- make sure you find someone you are comfortable with.

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

The initial interview is key. I always take notes. I always get a cell number so if the app isn’t working I can contact you for emergencies. I always want to see the cat but some are very shy so a picture will suffice.

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

Shutting the door behind me right as I enter. Announcing my presence when I come in usually with “hi kitties”- and making sure to lock up after.

Are you usually available during holidays?

I am yes. Very rarely am I not available on holidays but always check my schedule first.

What is your favorite cat toy?

My cat loves her feather toy- it’s very fluffy she enjoys it and treats it like a baby grooming it and meowing at it.

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

I give them space. I speak in a calm tone. My cat does not like strangers and so I have experience on the best way to approach them.

Amy is an amazing cat sitter! She gave me updates every day and spent quality time with my fur baby. She made sure she was well taken care of and eased my fears leaving her while on a trip. Great experience!

Amy has taken care of our two cats twice now, and hopefully many more times to come! She's professional, reliable, and really communicative throughout the cat-sitting. Couldn't ask for anything more!

Frequently Asked Questions

Riverside cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $29.00. 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.
