Learn More About Amanda

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

I've had animals and taken care of animals all of my life. I started cat sitting for friends and neighbors over 20 years ago. And about 15 years ago, I started taking on new clients and made it a large part of my income.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Connecting with cats. Getting to know and understand their personalities. Getting to know their signals, what makes them happy and feel safe.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

I contact the the new client and set up a meet and greet with them and their fur babies. I have a list of questions from food to fears. And everything inbetween.

Amanda is the best! I was so at ease knowing she was caring for my cat baby. She sent consistent updates - including many cute pictures! - and Leroy was clearly very comfortable in her company. Highly recommend her for any cat sitting needs.

The best! The best EVER. My shy kitty was getting over a terrible respiratory infection and Amanda took such good care of her and handled my numerous nervous texts with utter grace. My cat also LOVED her. My cat doesn't take to people quickly or easily, so that's really saying something.

Amanda was great, we had to change the dates by a day and this was not a problem with her. Amanda kept us updated with cute little videos and pictures of the cats and kittens each visit. We could not recommend Amanda enough!

Amanda was always punctual, very friendly with my cat and she took great photos. She even went above and beyond when there was a boil water advisory in my area. Amanda bought her own jug of water to clean the cat's bowl. Amanda is a great sitter and we would love to book her again.

Amanda was a wonderful, attentive, and professional cat sitter. Before arriving she notified me via text, and upon arrival I received a video of my cat, along with some photos throughout the visit. She was thorough in cleaning up after our pet and making sure all his feeding needs were met. I would definitely use Amanda again, and I highly recommend her.

Amanda did a great job taking care of our kitties while we were out of town. She listened carefully to all our instructions and sent lots of updates and photos during her visits. The cats really loved her even our shy one! It made feel good to know our kitties were in good hands 🙂

Amanda was fantastic. She was very communicative and thoughtful. She spent time playing with the cats and really engaging with them. She followed all instructions and asked about anything she was unsure of. She provided a lot of videos and pictures as well. I never had to worry with her. She was wonderful and I look forward to working with her again.

Amanda was so great with my 2 kittens. She was very open with communication and I was confident in her visiting my fur babies. Amanda was very thorough in our meet and greet with the questions she asked, she took notes and it calmed my anxiety about going out of town. I look forward to using Amanda's services in the future!

Amanda was great! She was very responsive, and sent photos daily to keep us posted on how the cats were the entire time. My cats were well taken care of, I have 3 cats so it's a handful but she did a wonderful job!

The reservation process was pretty seamless. I loved meeting Amanda and I am so happy I found her on Meowtel. She was so caring and detail oriented with my instructions and loving to my cat. I got plenty of pics and videos while gone. She went above and beyond what I would expect.

Amanda is the absolute crème de la crème when it comes to cat sitting. My cat loves her and she follows instructions to the T. She also took great care to keep my place tidy while I was away. She is super nice, careful and mindful of everything your fur baby may need. I felt super relaxed leaving Tabby in her care.

Amanda traveled to my home to care for my cats during my week away. She stayed full time, provided tailored care to my cats, and left me free to enjoy my trip without worry. She is frequently in contact, sending videos and photos, and she truly enjoys caring for her customers' cats.

I call Amanda "Bastet" because her innate understanding of felines and feline needs is other worldly. She is is an ambassador between humans and cats. The care she gives your cats stems from the true care she has for them and it's immediately and undeniably apparent. She also cares about their humans and is incredible with communication. Plus, she takes the best Kitty photos you've ever seen.

Frequently Asked Questions

Jersey City cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $31.00. 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 you can find the best options which are close by.

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 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
