Learn More About Amanda

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have two kitties, Peanut & Xeno. Both are foster fails that I brought with me from Spain. Xeno was a feral kitten that I won over and he is truly a "velcro" kitty. We snuggle under the covers every night! Peanut was 12 days old when I brought her home to foster. She was very sickly and I bottle fed her around the clock. She chose me to be her mom. They truly complete my life and I would do anything for them!

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. 😊

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

I always approach them gently. I kneel down and speak softly from a distance, letting them decide the pace. If they come to me, wonderful! I offer my hand to sniff and get acquainted. If not, I simply go about my tasks and give them space to get comfortable with my presence. Churu treats, calming cat music, and avoiding sudden movements or loud noises all help. I always let the kitty lead. 🐱

Amanda was absolutely amazing! She took care of my sick boy kitty and our super shy girl. By the end of the stay, she was able to pet and get close to our shy girl — which has never happened with anyone else. She took my male cat’s temperature, administered meds, and monitored him so carefully. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I’ve already booked her again—that’s how incredible she was. I would 1,000% recommend Amanda! The biggest bonus: she takes truly beautiful photos. I now have some of the best pictures ever of my sweet kitties. Amanda is also very communicative and consistently provides detailed, thoughtful updates.

Amanda was wonderful with my cat. I’m pretty sure my cat had more fun with her than he does with me. She came up with creative games and activities that kept him entertained and happy, and it was clear she took the time to understand his personality. Her communication was excellent. I received updates, photos, and videos throughout her visits, which gave me peace of mind and made me feel connected while I was away. She is reliable, thoughtful, and turned what could have been a lonely week for my cat into something he genuinely enjoyed. Highly recommend!

Amanda is amazing! This was the first time Amanda watched my cat and it was for 2 weeks. My cat is very anxious and protective when I am gone, and it has been challenging to find a sitter that is comfortable with her behavior. Amanda did everything she could to lessen the stress on my fur baby. Her communication was clear and consistent. My cat even warmed up to her by the end which was a first!

Amanda was amazing to work with! It was great to have a meet & greet to show her around and introduce her to our boy Marvin before our trip, and she was a wonderful communicator throughout! Marvin loved the treats and toys she brought for him, and it made me feel better leaving him over a holiday! We will definitely use Amanda again.

Amanda was patient and detail oriented during our meet and greet. I have so many details to share about treats, play times, feeding times, and general preferences about my cat that it could easily scare off a casual cat sitter or non-professional. Amanda understood my desire to always accommodate my cat’s natural inclinations and to let him acclimate to new people with minimal schedule disruption. Henry is shy and hisses whenever he’s scared. Amanda was great with him! She kept his litter boxes clean, water bowls cleaned and topped off, and made sure to update me with his cleaning habits, eating, and drinking habits. When he preferred to be alone she gave him space and when he was feeling up for it, she tried to encourage him to play. I highly recommend Amanda!

Amanda was absolutely amazing! She cared for my three boys while I was out of town and you can really see her love for cats and passion for caretaking in the way she watches them. She was constantly giving updates and sending pictures, she made sure to play with them and even brought her own interactive toys with her for them to use. Overall, she gave me a lot of peace knowing they were being cared for the way I would (if not better!).

We left on a trip to NYC for the week and I was kinda nervous leaving my “kids” (Mak and Cheese) behind but Amanda was soo chill and went above and beyond!!! One of my kitties is very timid and loves to hide around new people. My kitty warmed up to Amanda IMMEDIATELY and allowed for all the pets! Amanda allowed me to enjoy my trip without any worries that my kitties weren’t being taken care of. 15/10 recommendation!!!

Amanda was amazing in taking care of our two cats during the holidays. She is very diligent about responding and she sends you the cutest pictures 🥺 I also really loved how she brought her own toys and surprises for the cats to engage in. She even helped our two cats get along and bond closer! Would definitely book again.

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!

We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter! Amanda took amazing care of our boy. She made sure he got his medicine on time, kept him calm and comfortable, and gave him lots of love and playtime. We especially appreciated the thoughtful updates and photos that gave us peace of mind while we were away :)

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.

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.

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 $25.00. 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.
