I'm Amanda | Cat Sitting in Austin, TX

Hi! I'm Amanda! It goes without saying that I'm a huge kitty lover. For the past 8 years, I've volunteered my time with various shelters and rescues in the US and abroad. I've fostered and found homes for dozens of kittens and cats. From sleepless nights bottle feeding neonatals to medical care for special needs to taming ferals, I've been through it all. I even have a designated foster kitty room in my home! My own two cats (Xeno, 6 & Peanut, 7) are my family! I fostered them as kittens when I lived overseas and they've traveled all over with me. I'm grateful they've been so understanding in sharing me with so many other cats! πŸ˜† My friends and family know me as that "crazy cat lady" and I really wouldn't have it any other way! I feel my best when I am of...

Learn More About Amanda

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have two kitties, Peanut & Xeno. Both are foster fails. ☺️Peanut loves hide & seek and Xeno plays fetch so it's safe to say, there's always a lot of fun at my house!

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

While this is a hired position and passive income is nice for anyone, the kitty is the priority here as they are the most innocent, precious creatures in all the land. ☺️ Your kitties should be getting much, much more than just the standard filling the food/water bowls and scooping the litter because pretty much anyone can do that. You want a true, experienced cat person to ensure the best experience for you kitty while you're away. They deserve it. 🐱

What is your favorite cat toy?

My favorite cat toys are the cat-nip infused wand and the bouncy ball with an attached tail, at least in my house. 😊

Amanda went truly above and beyond to make sure my kitties were taken care of when I was away. She brought over treats and toys, sent timely and detailed messages of how the kitties were doing, and gave such great suggestions of stimulation activities to purchase for the kitties. Definitely recommend her for your next kitty sitter!:)

Amanda did a great job taking care of our cat Lilly while we were out. She was timely and shared great pictures, and was able to connect with Lilly, which isn't always easy as our cat is usually quite timid. I would definitely hire her again!

Amanda is one of the most compassionate, reliable, trustworthy, and knowledgeable people I have had the privilege of knowing. She was a person that I knew I could trust with the care of kittens and cats. I would not hesitate to hire Amanda for any position as a animal caregiver or even in managing a animal facility. She will gladly help with no hesitation. I hope you will consider her. She truly will be a huge asset to any company.

Over the past two years, Amanda has taken care of my cat when I've been out of town on frequent business trips. She always updates me with daily texts and pictures of my cat Troy without question and spends plenty of time bonding and playing with him. I recommend her to all my friends going out of town who need someone to care for their pets. Amanda has also rescued cats for years so she definitely knows her stuff. I highly recommend Amanda's services as any cat in her care couldn't be in better hands.

The Meowtel Promise & Satisfaction Guarantee

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations. For reservations where each visit is at or above $20 and paid for through Meowtel, your cat(s) will automatically be covered under our insurance policy in the event that things don't go as planned.

Frequently Asked Questions

Austin cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $32.00. 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.
