I'm Amber
Cat Sitting in Durham, NC
I have always treated my pets like part of the family, so I know how important your fur babies are to you! I strive to make both cats and owners feel at ease. I’m a calm person by nature, and cats appreciate my peaceful energy—I give shy cats time to warm up and affectionate cats plenty of cuddles. I’m very responsible, good at communicating, clean, and caring.
I have lots of experience with special feeding instructions, administering ear drops, topical liquids and ointments, supplements and liquid/chewable medications. Admittedly, I’m not confident with pilling cats directly.
I will tidy up any cat messes and clean litter daily. Happy to share cute updates about your kitty while you’re away!
Learn More About Amber
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I have been cat sitting in some capacity since I was a teenager! I love being around animals, so I started pet sitting more regularly again over the past few years and have a built up a base of lovely repeat clients.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have a sweet senior toothless tuxedo named Sylvia. She’s an older rescue estimated to be somewhere between 15-25 years old!! :) She's a lap cat who suns herself in the window all day then yells at me to feed her.
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
I’m accustomed to being careful when entering and exiting a home with cats in case they are curious. I will follow directions for safety and security of the home, including securing a key, keeping codes private, and locking up when leaving.
Are you usually available during holidays?
I am available to cat sit on many holidays. I know it can be challenging to find a good sitter during holidays and I’m happy to help!
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I know many cats need time to warm up to new people. I’m a quiet and gentle person, and I think many cats can sense that. I read their body language and if they seem curious, I'll bend over to say hi, letting them come to me and put out my hand so they can sniff. If they have kitty treats, I’ll try to entice them with a couple. If they need more space and time to warm up, I’m happy to give that too. I've had a mix of super friendly and shy cats in my life, so I know how both styles operate :)

This was my first time using Meowtel and the first time using a cat sitter who was someone I didn’t know but Amber was absolutely amazing! She was very communicative and sent updates and pictures at all her visits and my kitty warmed up to her immediately!

This was my first time using Meowtel and Amber was the perfect sitter for my cat! He warmed up to her right away which he doesn't do with new people. Amber is super calm with him and sent pictures and updates with each visit. It was a great peace of mind knowing she was checking on him.

Not only can Amber be a sitter while an owner is away but she has the ability to give your pet extra love if you work long hours. My cat Tony has been restless when I get home but on days Amber comes to visit Tony is more relaxed, calmer, and overall happier. Anyone having a restless animal that needs some TLC or energy worked out should use Amber. She is quick to respond, trusted, and overall loved by my cat Tony.

Amber was amazing!!!! Good communication, followed all my directions, and she went above and beyond by doing extra tasks. This was my first time ever hiring a cat sitter and it went soo much better than expected. My cats aren’t used to visiters but they quickly warmed up to her! I had no worries during my trip knowing they were being well taken care of. When I got home they were happy and my apartment looked like I had never left. I will definitely be booking with her 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.
Durham cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $25.00. 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!

We loved having Amber take care of our elderly kitty. We knew we could trust her. She was friendly, responsible, communicative and experienced with animals. She administered medications and ministered to the needs of an old, needy, arthritic kitty. We always came home to a happy cat and tidy house. We highly recommend her!

Amber is an attentive, responsible, and caring cat sitter. You'd be lucky to have her dote on your animal(s). She will provide excellent care, let you know how they are doing, and make sure they feel loved in your absence. She is the best of the best and will also take good care of your home while you are away.
