I'm Amanda
Cat Sitting in Meriden, CT
My extensive background spans cats of all ages, temperaments, and health con... With a lifetime of hands-on experience, I treat every kitty client like family. I currently manage a lively, happy household that includes three cats, two dogs, and two toddlers, so I am completely unfazed by high-energy environments and multi-pet dynamics.
My extensive background spans cats of all ages, temperaments, and health conditions—from playful kittens to independent seniors and shy rescues who need extra patience. I am highly proficient and confident in administering medications in all forms, whether it is pills, liquid doses, or injections. You can travel with absolute peace of mind knowing your cat is in experienced, loving, and highly capable hands.

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I have been cat sitting for as long as I can remember! Growing up as a lifelong cat lover, helping friends, family, and neighbors care for their felines has always been second nature to me. Cats are truly my passion, and over the years, that lifelong devotion has evolved into trusted, hands-on sitting experience with cats of every age, personality, and need.
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
The Initial Consultation: We will start with a detailed chat (or a meet-and-greet if preferred) to discuss your cat’s routine, dietary needs, favorite hiding spots, and temperament. If your cat requires medication, this is when we will review exact dosages and schedules. Daily Updates: I know how hard it is to be away from your fur babies, so I send daily updates and photos after every visit. You will always know exactly how they are doing, eating, and feeling
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
When it comes to timid or anxious cats, my golden rule is to always let them set the pace. Having lived with cats of all temperaments, I know that forcing interaction only creates stress, so I focus on respecting their boundaries. I make myself small, use low tones, and give them the space to observe me safely from a distance. Instead of pushing for affection, I focus on consistent routines, quiet companionship, and reading their body language. With patience and zero pressure, I ensure they feel completely secure until they are ready to interact on their own terms

Amanda was an incredible cat-sitter. She was super attentive to our attention loving boys, took fabulous photos that reassured me that they were doing well, and even checked in when she saw other things amiss (like a plant that got bugs while we were away). Your cats will be so well taken care of by Amanda.

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.
Meriden cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $30.00. 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!
