Hello, I’m Amanda.

I’m a 40 year old mom to a beautiful 4 year old girl, Julia, and our feisty kitty Rose (aka murder mittens, 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 afternoon visits are best for my schedule while my daughter is in school. My daughter is AuDHD, so I will also need to schedule around a couple of her sessions.

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.

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 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 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.

I'm so glad I hired Amanda to watch my cats. They love her. Amanda sent daily photos and updates about my two cats. One of my cats has ear problems and she cleaned his ears for me. I will definitely contact her in the future when I travel again.

It’s always a pleasure having Amanda watch my kitty. This time I was away from home for a medical procedure, and it was a great comfort to have her taking care of my boy and also checking in with me to see that I was ok. Can’t ask for more.

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 $39.00. 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!
