Learn More About Amy

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

I have been professionally caring for cats for seven years now. My experience includes caring for any type of feline from kittens to special needs (tripod, blind), seniors, to hospice care kitties.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

The ability to connect with cats is a special accomplishment. I thrive to provide a comforting, reliable experience for the cats and cat parents. I love that I can become a part of the family and see them throughout their years.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I am proud to have a 19 year old female named Binky that we found in a dumpster when she was 6 weeks old. She is my most precious and she rules the house. I also have Cathy, she showed up at my door 2 days before Hurricane Harvey hit Houston. Of course I just opened the door and said come on in. She is my energetic girl. We recently adopted an abandoned 5 week old tortie named Jazmine.

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

I just love meet and greets! I ask questions and take notes. If a cat parent hasn't had a sitter before-I walk them through the process on what they will need and what I offer to make sure it goes smoothly.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

I double check that the vet releases are completed and the profile. I go over any behavioral concerns and if any are a flight risk. Check for collars and tags, and make sure that we are all on the same page as for emergency situations.

Are you usually available during holidays?

I am available on all holidays and my only limited availability is on Christmas Day. But I can make an exception case by case.

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

Timid or anxious cats are the best. They are so smart. I never rush into any situation with one. I respect the space that they require. I let them come to me when they feel most comfortable.

Amy watched my cat for four days/nights and was very reliable. She sent updates with photos on each visit and was able to become friends with a person-shy, aging cat in a short amount of time. After the first couple visits, I didn't worry at all about leaving my cat in her care. I'd definitely use her again.

Amy was amazing to our Casper while we were gone. I felt comforted knowing she was there to check on him- making sure he ate, drank, & got to play. She even vacuumed his litter area & left the trash out for valet & brought it back in! Amy is also very communicative & so professional. I will definitely book her again in the future!

Amy was amazing! She went above and beyond for my three cats; cleaning all litter boxes, giving each cat personalized attention and playtime, and she even fixed a water fountain that was having mechanical some issues so my cat was able to drink fresh running water :) She understands all of the nuances that come with caring for cats, including their body language and individual personality quirks & preferences! I will absolutely be booking her in the future whenever the need arises.

Amy was exceptional. This was my first time leaving my babies with someone that wasn’t my family member, and Amy made it so comfortable for me! She took amazing pictures for me, constant updates and even made sure my plant was watered! I had peace of mind leaving my babies under her care. So grateful for her!

Amy is an amazing cat sitter! It's the second time she came to take care of our kittens, and it's going pretty good. the cats love her and enjoy her company. She takes care of them really well, and send you pics and updates every day. she even picked up all the cans when my cats played to toss everything to the floor. I enthusiastically recommend Amy for everyone that is thinking about hiring a catsitter.

I cannot express what comfort Amy gave us by taking such expert care of our animals. We were so relaxed on our vacation knowing our fur babies were well and safe. She sent pictures everyday, too, which was wonderful. Now that we have Meowtel and Amy, we will most likely go on a vacation again instead of waiting ten years!!

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.

Houston cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $26.00. 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!
