I'm Amanda | Cat Sitting in San Marcos, TX

My name is Amanda Garcia, and I’m a proud cat mom to three lovable fur babies—Shaggy, Bean, and Mango Garcia. In addition to caring for my cats, I frequently look after my nephew, Nacho Garcia. As someone who’s used to the quirks of feline behavior, from their infamous zoomies and secret plans for world domination to their never-ending need for treats, I understand and appreciate the unique personalities of cats. I’ve had plenty of experience administering medications and topical creams, so I’m comfortable providing medical care when needed. One of my own cats is especially shy, and I’ve learned ...

Learn More About Amanda

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

I have been cat sitting unofficially for about two years, primarily for friends and family. During this time, I've gained a lot of experience and confidence in my ability to care for cats, ensuring their well-being and comfort. Now that I have more availability and space, I’m excited to extend my services to others. I truly enjoy spending time with cats, getting to know their unique personalities, and creating a calm and safe environment for them. My experience has been overwhelmingly positive, and I look forward to continuing this work with new clients.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have three wonderful cats: Shaggy, Mango, and Bean Garcia. Bean, who I've had the longest, is 5 years old. He's a bit shy but loves being petted and always follows me around. Mango, who I rescued from the streets and believe to be about 4, is extremely social and absolutely adores cuddles. Shaggy, my fiancé’s cat who’s now 3, is full of energy and has earned the nickname "zoom master." He doesn’t care much for being carried but is always on the move, keeping things lively at home. Each of them has such a unique personality, and it's been a joy getting to know them.

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

My own cat, Bean, is quite anxious and timid, so I’ve learned that he needs a quiet environment and plenty of patience. When handling timid or anxious cats, I make sure to respect their boundaries and take things slowly. It's important to me that they don’t see me as a threat, so I focus on gradually building trust. I do this by offering treats, engaging them with their favorite toys, and letting them approach me on their terms. This method has worked well with Bean, and I find it helps create a calm and comfortable atmosphere for any cat I care for.

Amanda is an excellent communicator and is very attentive to all cats! Her love for cats shows in the way she provides care for the cats she sits for. She is great at sending updates and photos as well as being communicative of when she’s in the home and when she leaves. I always trust my cat is in good hands when she is looking after her. :)

Frequently Asked Questions

San Marcos cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $26.00. 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.
