I'm Amanda | Cat Sitting in Albuquerque, NM

For over 9 years I've had extensive experience in pet-sitting for cats and dogs alike. My favorite being on this planet and soul kitty, Nala, traveled with me all over the US while we vanlifed together. After dealing with many health issues since birth (she was a rescue) she passed away February 2023 and it crushed me, but I figured I'd pour love into the animals who have their humans traveling or working instead. Between 2019 and 2024 I've done 50+ pet sits with all 5 stars ...

Learn More About Amanda

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

Through a vacation petsit platform and Meowtel, I have been consistently providing surrogate unconditional love to cats while their humans are away since 2019 but started cat-sitting in 2015.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

My dearest adventure cat, Nala, had quite a few congenital issues. In her short life, she taught me unconditional love, allowed me to care for her with shots, pills, and vet visits easily, and hiked and traveled with me unleashed for 3 out of her 3.5 years. I miss her every day, but I honor her memory by passing on the skills I learned with her to other cats.

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

As I plan to move from shelter volunteer to foster parent to eventual rescue, dealing with timid and anxious cats is a skill I'm very adept at. For those who hide when a caretaker has come to check on them, I do make sure to get eyes on them to make sure they are okay but do not require they come out. I might drop a treat for them at their hiding spot, let them smell me, or give them space if they're spicy. It's important to see the cat but definitely not to force it to be uncomfortable.

Amanda took me on last minute when my other cat sitter canceled. She was responsive, considerate, kind, and hardworking. She gave thorough updates, took photos, cleaned up, addressed safety concerns, and more. She even took the time to make sure my shy boi was okay. Would recommend her 100% to anyone looking for a thorough and caring cat sitter.

I needed a Catsitter who had experience with special needs/high maintenance older kitties needing subQ fluids, medication, and special food. Thank goodness I found Amanda who has plenty of experience with a CKD kitty of her own to look after my kitties while I was away. She did an excellent job with the subQ fluids, multiple medications, and special food AND she somehow won over my super shy kitty girl who normally hides from strangers! On top of that my place was super clean and smelled great when I came back. Highly recommended!

Frequently Asked Questions

Albuquerque cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $30.00. 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.
