Amy's Catnip Cat Sitting

I'm Amy

Cat Sitting in West Chester, PA

I currently have two cats: Sabrina (a five year old gray tabby) and Joy (a six month old gray tabby). I have loved cats since childhood and have had multiple cats over my lifetime. Two of my favorite qualities about cats is that they all have such unique personalities and how they seem to analyze us before establishing trust. When I meet new cats, I like to let them determine the pace at which they want to interact with me. Some cats want immediate affection and others may want to hide for a while or come out and see me slowly and I will follow their lead. I currently work as a school nurse in a high school...

Some cats want immediate affection and others may want to hide for a while or come out and see me slowly and I will follow their lead. I currently work as a school nurse in a high school. I am fully Covid vaccinated and boosted and practice frequent hand washing. Also, because of my nursing experience, I am comfortable with administering medications if needed. Some of my interests outside of work are traveling to new places, trying new restaurants, and snuggling with my cats while watching a movie or TV show. Because of my work schedule, my best availability is in the evenings during the week or all day on the weekend days. I am professional, reliable, and detail oriented and look forward to providing peace of mind to you and your family. I love meeting new cats and I look forward to the opportunity to give them the best care possible while you are away.

Learn More About Amy

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

I previously booked a cat sitter through Meowtel and loved how responsive, caring, and communicative they were and appreciated the reassurance that my cat had everything she needed while I was away. After that, I knew that I would enjoy meeting new cats (and their owners) and signed up to be a cat sitter on Meowtel in the spring of 2023. Since then, I have had the chance to meet more and more cats and their owners and have thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to help other families feel reassurance that their cats are well taken care of while they're away.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love meeting new cats and their families and enjoy the process of getting to know each cat during the time I'm with them.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes, I have two cats! Their names are Sabrina (6 years old) and Joy (1 year old).

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

I would recommend for them to review each nearby cat sitter's profile and availability to see which one may be the best fit. They should think about what duration of visits they may want (20, 45, or 60 minutes) and whether they will need once a day or twice a day visits. If they are unsure what length or frequency of visits may work best for their cat's needs, they can message a potential cat sitter directly and ask that or any other questions before requesting a reservation.

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

Typically I will confirm a new cat parent's reservation and then reach out to them and set up a meet and greet appointment. During this appointment, I will meet them and their cat(s), see where their food, water, toys, and litter are and I will ask questions to get a full picture of their care and normal routine. After this, I communicate with clients before their reservation starts if they have any additional information to share or questions they forgot to ask. During the actual reservation, I send an update message and picture during every visit letting them know how their cat is doing!

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes, I normally have full availability during holidays.

What is your favorite cat toy?

I love playing with cats with either a long string or wand that they can chase across the floor!

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

I like to respect the comfort zone of all cats that I care for and let them determine their distance to me and the pace at which they warm up. All cats are unique and have different personalities and I love getting to know them all, whether outgoing and affectionate, playful, or timid.

Both of my cats absolutely loved Amy! Plus, she was able to give my very anxious cat a small pill every day. She sent lots of pictures and always put my mind at ease. I can't recommend her enough!

Amy was absolutely amazing! She was so good with my cats, one of whom needs insulin shots twice per day. She kept me informed and sent me pictures of every visit. I will definitely be asking for her help 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.

West Chester 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!
