Cat Sitting in San Jose, CA
I have been with Meowtel around a year, but I have been pet sitting for family and friends for around 10 years, while they went on vacations or even just worked late.

I have been with Meowtel around a year, but I have been pet sitting for family and friends for around 10 years, while they went on vacations or even just worked late. I have also fostered kitties through multiple organizations. I can care for and love all types of kitties. I am especially good at giving pills to kitties with ease. Working with Meowtel clients, I have expanded my skills to include insulin and subcutaneous fluids.
I’m almost 40, a wife, and a mom to a beautiful little girl, our 2 cuddly cats. Our 2 cats are Oliver (chunky big boy around 7 years old), and our Rose (aka murder mittens, around 4 years old). I spend most of my time with my 3 year old.
Learn More About Amanda
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
My favorite part of cat sitting is the kitties themselves. It’s fun for me to get to know the different personalities of each kitty and spend time with them.
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
I would ensure your kitties are safe by making sure no kitties escape when I arrive or leave your home. I would also make sure they don’t get locked in a room they shouldn’t be locked in and have constant access to fresh and clean food and water.
Are you usually available during holidays?
I am usually available for holidays. We like to travel in off peak times when we do. All our family is local, so we don’t travel far for holidays.
What is your favorite cat toy?
I love feather wands and laser pointers. They tend to be favorites of our kitties too and are a great way to get all ages of kitties engaged in active play time.

Amanda is an excellent pet sitter, and I could tell she was an excellent carer from our meet and greet, continuing into two days of visits. My cats take a bit of defrosting with people, especially my boy, and she offered them so much grace and love. She wasn’t deterred at all by a hissy welcome, and took extra time to bond with both kitties by meeting them where they are. She also administered meds with ease. I am so grateful to have found a kind, experienced and trustworthy sitter in Amanda.

Amanda is a natural! She came to my place for the meet and greet and immediately knew what had to be done, almost without me even explaining anything. During my trip, she sent me photos of her with my cats, and she was able to get them both to feel comfortable with her! They are normally shy and skittish, so this was pretty impressive. Amanda is a clear and prompt communicator, and she cares about the cats she takes care of. I would absolutely ask her to take care of my cats again.

Amanda and her daughter were great with our crazy kittens. It was somewhat of a tough schedule coming through the Christmas holidays 2x a day. She came at the right times everyday and sent us videos and pics of our kittens every visit. Will request her services again for our next trip.

Amanda is professional, thorough, and in general a joy to work with. One of my cats required daily medication, and the other is a picky eater, which she handled without problems. Amanda's follow up was so complete I never had any concerns. I will engage her again in the new year. I recommend her whole heartedly.

Amanda did a great job taking care of our two cats, one of which requires daily medications and is very distrustful with strangers. We appreciated how much patience Amanda took despite our cat's hesitation as well as her creativity for finding new ways to interact with the cats.

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.

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!

Amanda had helped us with a last minute request and was able to meet and greet Momo the very next day. Her response was very quick and she’s familiar with cats care and medication need. She also gave a nice update during the visit with pictures. *I accidentally picked 4 stars but the app is not letting me update it to 5.*

We couldn't have asked for a better cat sitter! Amanda was an absolute lifesaver, especially with our senior cat who has cancer. She handled her daily medication with total ease, which immediately put our minds at ease. She sent us frequent updates and tons of pictures, and was super friendly and accommodating. Our cats tend to be skittish and hide, but Amanda always managed to find them and get them to warm up to her. It was so comforting to see them all happy and well-cared for while we were away. We highly recommend her!

Amanda sent me meticulous notes everyday about how my kitties were handling my absence. I also really appreciated how calmly she handled access code snafus and an unexpected ant invasion. Amanda cleaned up after the ants, recommended ant proof bowls, and rearranged her visitation schedule just to make sure my kitties had clean ant-free food to eat.

Amanda provided care for our two 10+ yo cats for 3 days. One of my kitties needs medication administered twice a day for congestive heart failure. I came home and they were at ease. Amanda was great with communication, updates with pictures, and even cleaned up their food area. But what I mostly appreciate was her level of confidence and posture when she met my cats. They took to her immediately, even my 16 yo who is shy and usually doesn’t engage with people he does not know. Highly recommended.

I am an anxious cat owner with one tough kitty and one affectionate one. My wife and I went on our honeymoon for almost two weeks and Amanda helped us out. She was a true professional, took many pictures and was very communicative to what was going on. She handled our tougher cat really well and really bonded with our other cat. She did an excellent job managing their food and litters and overall caring for them. Would highly recommend her. She will for sure be our cat sitter of choice on Meowtel

Amanda was nothing short of amazing! Excellent communication, detailed updates, she gave the option for video calls so I could see my babies, and the most important part...Amanda got along wonderfully well with my girls! She gave them attention, playtime, love, and cuddles, and even went above and beyond to clean up after their messes. Amanda will definitely be my go-to for kitty-sitting going forward, and I would strongly recommend her to anyone!!

I can’t recommend Amanda enough! From the moment we connected, I felt completely at ease leaving my cat in her care. They were incredibly attentive, reliable, and clearly have a genuine love for animals. I got regular updates, photos, and little notes about how my cat was doing, which made being away so much easier. My cat can be a bit particular, but she was very thoughtful, making sure all of his needs were taken care of. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, communicative, and truly caring, this is the person you want. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!

Amanda was AMAZING!! My shy kitty came right out during the meet and greet and absolutely loved Amanda during her stay. Not only did she take care of Kitty but also my apartment, as her and Kitty played together. I would absolutely recommend Amanda to any pet owner who needs someone trustworthy, reliable, and overall a great person to take care of their animals!!

Amanda is a wonderful, caring person. She is an experienced cat mom and understands their needs. My kitty, Jasper, took to her immediately during the meet and greet. She kept me updated on everything while I was on my trip. She sent photos and let me know of any problems, like when he was hiding because of loud noises outside the house. I will definitely be using her again as my kitty sitter.

Amanda would make a great cat sitter because she is very thoughtful, caring, reliable, and responsible person who loves animals. She is also observant and patient with her kitties, she caters to their needs and provides them with best care possible. She is very attentive and proactive, in case your kitty is acting off and may need special attention. I would trust her to take care of my own fur babies because I know that they will be in trustworthy hands.
