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 decade, 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! 😆 My friends and family know me as the "cat lady" and I am honored to have taken on such a prestigious title! 🫅🏻I feel my best when I ...

Amanda's Reviews
Devon
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!

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 :)

Amanda is great! I felt like she cared for my pet as much as I did. She was super communicative throughout the process. Booking with Amanda removed the stress of worrying about my cat during holiday travel. Would book again in a heartbeat.
Sydney
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.

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 $27.00. 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.
