I have always had cats throughout my life and have had plenty of experience taking care of them. My current fur baby is going to be 15 years old and she loves baking in the sun and playing with her many many cat toys.
I am able and willing to clean kitty litters, feed kitties, provide water, socialize and groom (upon request). Also, for me when I am out of town I always appreciate pictures and videos sent to me from my sitters so that is absolutely something I am willing to do for my clients. It always helps to see that your loved one is being taken care of and a picture in my eyes means the world when I am out of town.

I do work Mondays - Thursdays until about 6 pm and every other Fridays but have weekends off and am able to make visits in the evening during the days that I work. Looking forward to helping some fellow cat owners like myself!

I work in the Riverside area and am excited to meet your fur babies!

I try to be as flexible as possible with my clients so feel free to reach out to me and see if we can make something work out!

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 8 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. She loves lounging in all her favorite spots including the bed, her tiki hut and her patio outside.

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. I usually flock to this toy with cats because of this; however, I am aware that all cats have their own style and personality and they each have their own preference of toy.

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, patience is key.

AMY-AZING! repeat customer here. Things went so fantastic on our 4-day weekend trip in June we wanted to book with Amy again. I was pleased with how comfortable our cats were with her and she will accommodate certain peculiar requests so our cats can keep their routine (our cats like to eat in different rooms with their bowls in certain spots depending on the day/time lol). Highly recommended, clear communication, awesome cat sitter!

We recommend Amy completely, you won't regret booking with her! Thanks again Amy, from us and our kitties :3

Frequently Asked Questions

Reservations officially begin at 12:00 AM in the sitter's time zone on the start date. Cat Parents may cancel within 24 hours of booking and receive a full refund, as long as the reservation has not yet started. After the first 24 hours, the following cancellation rules apply:

More than 48 hours before the reservation start date: Full refund. The sitter will not receive any earnings.
24–48 hours before the reservation start date: 50% refund. The sitter will earn 50% of their planned earnings.

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.

Riverside cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $33.00. 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!
