Hello, I’m Amanda.

I am a 40 year old mom to a beautiful 4 year old girl, Julia, and our feisty kitty Rose (aka murder mittens, who is around 7 years old). You can find us playing around with water every chance we get!

We have cared for and loved many animals over the years and I look forward to helping take care out your kitties as if they were my own.

Morning and early afternoon visits are best for my schedule while my daughter is in school. But no matter when you schedule a visit, your kitty will get the best care.

Learn More About Amanda

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

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.

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.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

We have Rose. She uses soft paws but will take a swipe at you. She also latches onto you and does the bunny kicks while holding onto your hand with her teeth.

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.

I cannot thank Amanda enough for her help with watching and caring for my cat. Right away she ensured comfort and familiarity before the actual sitting started. She also easily and consistently administered meds (shots) right on schedule. She also went above and beyond with cleaning up the kitchen, taking out the trash, and swept/vacuumed up litter around the home (which was not expected but so greatly appreciated with one last thing to worry about coming home). Thank you so much, Amanda!

This is our second time using Amanda, and once again she’s been one of the best sitters we’ve had for our cats. One of our cats is very shy and usually won’t come out for anyone, but he felt comfortable enough with Amanda to come out and play. We also have a squirmy cat who needs daily medication, and she handled that like a pro. On top of all that, she sends great daily updates, so you never have to worry about the cats while you’re away. Thank you so much again, Amanda!

Amazing and super sweet cat sitter! She was so attentive that she noticed some signs that allowed me take my cats to the vet ASAP. We were able to catch a potential health issue before it became a problem. She’s also super detailed in her reports and pictures, and our cats adored her! I’m so so thankful and happy to have her as a sitter!!

Amanda did wonderful as always! She checked, cleaned, and refilled our cat fountain. She even took into consideration the heat wave and made sure the little man had plenty of cooling hydration and sent us updates and pictures so we could see he was doing great.

Amanda was so warm and welcoming that our cat, who can be a bit spicy, took to her immediately. We got pictures and updates from every visit, the house was left just as we left it, and every instruction was followed perfectly.

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.

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 Jose cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $40.00. 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 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 Meet & Greet!
