Learn More About Amanda

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

Prior to Meowtel, I often cat sit for friends and family. I've been with Meowtel for a year now and loving it!

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

One of the reasons I became a cat sitter was because I could never find a cat sitter! I often looked online and never found any sitter apps that were specific to cats and realized other cat parents were likely doing the same thing - so I decided to become a cat sitter! I am always so worried about my cats when I travel and knowing there is a cat sitter I can trust makes all the difference. As a cat sitter, I enjoy knowing that I can provide that peace of mind to other cat parents and make the transition for the kitties themselves that much easier!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have three! Ava is 12 years old, Freya is 7 years old and Rumi is the new baby in the family... he's 4 months old! It's been a little hectic at our house as you can imagine, but we're loving it!

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

Have your sitting information and requests ready to go for the meet and greet. If possible, write it all down and give it to them. Things such as feeding schedules and amounts, litter box needs and issues, home entry information, and medical needs and things we need to be made aware of. Make sure your vet form is filled out and let your vet know you've given approval for treatment if it needs to happen, and let your sitter know where you keep your cat carrier in case of an emergency.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

I do my best to always check on each cat during the visit, even if they're the timid kind that hides. In general, being aware of the surroundings and things out of place are both important when securing the safety of the home and the cats.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Most holidays, yes. However, holiday seasons are when I get most of my bookings and occasionally I have to turn off availability because I'm booked solid!

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

I generally let them come to me, but if they don't want to approach I carefully approach them and stay at least an arm's length apart from them. Once they seem ready, I'll let them sniff my fingers to get used to my scent. If treats are available, I will give them treats. I never force cats to interact with me, but I will speak with them during the visit and give them snacks without forcing constant interaction.

We have hired Amanda 3x so far with more plans in the future. We have 3 cats and don't care to cage them in kennels when we travel. Amanda takes lots of photos and spends time playing with the cats. It makes my family feel very comfortable even when we are away and missing the kitties.

Amanda is an incredible kitty sitter. She is so thorough and thoughtful of not only our kitties’ wellbeing but also us. Her efforts went above and beyond what we hoped for. My only hesitation in writing this review is that everyone will want Amanda as their sitter and we will never be able to book her again. Are we able to call “dibs” on her for all future bookings?? With much gratitude, Jen, Rob, Olive, Clyde and Ruby.

Amanda was amazing! She genuinely cares for the cats and takes great care of them. It made everything stress free for us since she was wonderful with communication and we got daily pictures. I would highly recommend her - both your fur babies and you will be very happy!

Amanda is an amazing cat sitter! Everything from the meet and greet to taking care of our three cats was so professional, friendly and warm. This was my first time using Meowtel and Amanda helped to walk me through the process. The photos she sent throughout the week we were out of town made me feel that she was taking the best care of our girls, and that they were having a great time hanging out. I would absolutely recommend Amanda for any pet care services in the future!

Frequently Asked Questions

Hammond cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $35.00. Prices will also depend on how long your cat needs company for, whether that be a drop-in visit or overnight stay in your home. Meowtel sitters offer 20, 45, and 60-minute drop-in visits that allow for fully tailored care for your kitties. Your caregiver may also need to charge a little more if they have to travel far, so we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in 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 for your kitties. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

We recommend that you book daily visits with your sitter to keep your cats in their routine and to help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.

Each Meowtel cat sitting visit will include the whole 9 yards: feeding, refreshing the water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, as well as any special requests you may have. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
