Cat Sitting in Matthews, NC

Greetings and hello! I would love to care for your cat while you’re away. I’ve had cats of my own for about 25 years and have fostered over 30 cats from local shelters over the years. Fostering providing me with excellent experience in understanding cat "language" and adapting as needed. I am exceptionally patient and let them set the pace of our relationship... Greetings and hello! I would love to care for your cat while you’re away. I’ve had cats of my own for about 25 years and have fostered over 30 cats from local shelters over the years. Fostering providing me with excellent experience in understanding cat "language" and adapting as needed. I am exceptionally patient and let them set the pace of our relationship. You’re scared and just want to sit in a corner? No problem, I’ll sit on the floor in the room with you and be available when you’re ready for scratches. Want to sprint around the house? Great – I’ll chase you and help expend some energy with a laser toy. I have experience with providing oral medication and will provide as many, or few, updates as you’d like during my time with your pet. I will be sure that you return to a clean home that allows you to focus on winding down with your cat.

I am originally from the Midwest and work as a researcher. I am available for daily and overnight visits. I'm really looking forward to connecting with you and your cat!

Learn More About Amber

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes! Frank (6yo) and Marge (4yo).

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes! With the exception Labor Day weekend, I'm usually available during holidays.

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

This might actually be my favorite cat personality. When I'm working to build a relationship with a timid cat, I sit on the floor a few feet away from them and let them sniff my hand and eyeglasses (these have a lot of your pheromones!). I talk to them in a calm and quiet voice, and avoid sudden movements. Depending on their vibe, I might try to engage in play. My overall goal is to help them understand that I'm not a threat and will follow their lead. I also understand that some cats just don't have an interest in strangers, and that's okay. They will still feel safe and secure while in my care.

Topical Ointments Eye/Ear Drops Oral Medication / Pills

Amber has taken great care of our cats when we go on vacation. She has consistently given them medicine and provided great updates and pictures. It allows us to feel a complete peace of mind knowing that Amber is taking care of the cats.

Amber was great with my kitties. She came twice a day and I always looked forward to the cute photos and videos. She took her time getting my Russian Blue to warm up to her. I highly recommend her and I will be contacting her for my future needs.

Amber is PHENOMINAL!!! I am mildly too attached to my cat and was anxious about leaving him for a week since my previous sitter had just moved. When I met Amber at our 1st in home consultation, I was immediately put at peace, knowing she would do a great job checking in on him, keeping him fed and clean, and providing lots of playtime and snuggles. She went above and beyond and sent me pictures and videos every day of Canon! Amber is thorough, reliable, and truly loves taking care of fur babies! I would highly recommend her to anyone in the Charlotte area! Before finishing my first reservation with her, I already booked her for a second trip that I am going on. :) 10/10 WOULD recommend!!!!

Amber was fantastic! Before the reservation she came for a meet and greet and I felt very comfortable with her. She took excellent care of my cats and provided me with updates and pictures and videos. When I came home the area around my litter box and food was clean. I will definitely ask her to cat sit again and highly recommend!

Amber was great! I came home to happy cats. She sent updates and pictures everyday. She even accommodated my fussy cat who only uses puppy pads instead of the litter box. I’ll definitely book Amber again!

This was my second time having Amber come watch my cat while I went away for a week! Leaving my cat is always super difficult for me because I love him so much and he is a very social and extroverted cat. Amber did a great job to see that all of his needs were met , and even snuggled with him and played with him each day! I loved getting pictures and videos of him each day while I was gone as well! :)

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.

Matthews cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $27.00. 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!
