I'm Amanda
Cat Sitting in San Diego, CA
... Hi everybody! I am an animal lover and currently have a lot of experience with fish tanks, hamsters, dogs, and rabbits aside from cats. Taking care of cats has been my hobby on the side, from raising kittens abandoned on the street to fostering with Love Your Feral Felines(LYFF) fostering litters of kittens to sick adults. I currently have 2 cats that I rescued, 7 y/o Bubble and 5 y/o Kona! They are my babies and introduced me into the world of being a cat mama.
I have experience administering medications and am happy to do any feeding/cleaning, playing, and photo-taking at your request. I am also open to doing any small chores like watering plants, taking out the trash, bringing in mail, as well as taking care of any other small pets. I would love to use my expertise to help you by cat sitting your babies while you are away!
I am happy to answer any questions!

Amanda took great care of our cats including providing medication for one of them. She is always able to get our shy cat Moki to come to her for pets, brushing or games, while other sitters find Moki hiding under the bed whenever they come.

Amada immediately bonded with both our cats, even the shy one, during her meet & greet visit. She provided great video and photo updates daily plus txt updates. She watered our potted plants while we were gone. She even mailed us an item we forgot to pack for our vacation, which is going above and beyond.

Another great experience with Amanda! she went above and beyond- our smoke detector batteries died while we were away and was making periodical loud beeps that was freaking out our cat Sushi. She helped us replace the batteries and calmed Sushi down! Thank you again Amana!

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.
San Diego cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $32.00. 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!

This was my first time using Meowtel and I am so happy with Amanda and how she cared for my 2 boys while I was away for a few days. She provided updates as promised and I could tell by the pictures and videos that they were happy too.

Amanda was beyond amazing. Our cats can be a little bit high maintenance and one in particular a little bit difficult with anybody other than me giving him subcutaneous fluids but Amanda was patient and so great and we felt so happy to be able to entrust our three kitties and our home to her. We highly highly highly recommend Amanda she's amazing.

Amanda was an amazing cat sitter. She sent us videos and pictures of our Suki every day while we were away. She also brought up any concerns she had about changes in his eating habits or personality. We could tell that she really cared about our Suki. We were not sure who would take care of our special needs cat while we were gone, and we knew we couldn't put him in a kennel due to his separation anxiety, so Meowtel and Amanda were a huge blessing. We could enjoy our trip because we knew that our asthmatic cat would get to stay at home, receive his medicine, and have someone with him overnight. I would highly recommend Amanda for your future cat-sitting needs. She is the absolute best!!

Amanda was kind and excellent with my cat who can be a little finicky! She sent updates everyday including photos and videos. She even brought in our packages and offered to water plants while we were away! I didn’t have to worry about Bailey while we were gone and I would definitely use her again!

I am very grateful for Amanda watching my two boy cats. She is very professional (replies to messages promptly), sweet, and has a calming aura. She gave me daily feedback on how my two cats were doing along with some great pictures. I'm glad I was able to find someone that my cats got along with especially since one of my cats is visually impaired it was great to see how comfortable he felt with her. I highly recommend her.

First reservation with Amanda - great experience! She didn’t hesitate to alert me when she found vomit and I was able to confirm, by the pictures she provided, that it was “just a hairball” and she kept me up to date (even cleaned it up!) Bubbles and I thank you Amanda!

Amanda is such a kind person who loves animals. When I introduced her to our cats, she was so gentle and playful with them and asked all the right questions about their care. While she was watching them for me, she would send me constant updates and many pictures / videos of the cats. We loved her so much that we are asking her to watch them again next month and will continue to hire her if she is available!!!

Amanda is an excellent cat sitter and genuinely cares about my cat. I have used her twice in recent Months and will be using her again in February. She communicates with me and sends pictures each time she comes. She even came an extra day without charge just because my cats voice was a little coarse. She even watered my yard. Highly recommend.

Amanda was a great cat sitter! She provided us daily updates and photos of our kitties even though they were pretty shy and usually hiding. She clearly communicated any messes made by the cats and she even watered our plants! 😊 will definitely use Amanda again in the future.

Amanda was been so good to our senior (but young at heart) kitty. When ever we are away we can trust that she is in good hands. Amanda helps with extra things around the house as well, like bringing in the packages or cleaning up those surprise kitty messes. Amanda is great!
