Learn More About Amanda

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

My first cat care experience was fostering an 8-week-old kitten in 2022. He was adopted a few months later, and I missed having a furry buddy around so much that I started catsitting with Meowtel and adopted my own kitty shortly after. I’ve catsat dozens of cats since then, every one of them with a unique personality, so I have a pretty wide repertoire of knowledge and experience with cat needs, preferences, and demeanor!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I named my cat Nyra (NEE-ruh) after Rhaenyra from House of the Dragon, because of her princess attitude and beauty!

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

When entering a client’s home, I always keep an eye toward my feet to prevent a potential escape. I also ensure that access to the litter box and food is unobstructed.

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

Having a very anxious cat myself, I know how important it is to interact with cats on *their* terms, whether this means leaving them alone, or kneeling down and offering my hand to let them come to me if they want, familiarize themself with my scent, and decide if we can be friends. I also know that an invitation to be petted is not an invitation to be picked up. If I’m unsure, I ask my clients how the cat likes to interact, if at all.

Amanda went above and beyond taking care of my kitty Phoebe. I could tell my cat liked her instantly because Amanda is such a sweet person. She provided me with daily updates and cute pictures, and it made me much more at peace while traveling knowing my baby was well taken care of. I’ll be booking with her again.

Amanda was fantastic with my cat Bennett and he obviously warmed up to her very quickly from all the cuddly photos she sent me while I was away - made me feel so much better about leaving him for a few days. She was thorough and made sure everything was looking good and updated me accordingly.

Amanda did a great job caring for my two fur babies. One is diabetic and requires twice daily insulin injections, which she handled like a champ. Highly recommend her!

Amanda was a joy to work with and a wonderful new friend to my cats Maya and Samantha. She posted photos of her visits of the cats, food tray and litter. And her daily updates were enjoyable to read. Meowtel is a brilliant service, easy to navigate, and Amanda is the ideal cat sitter you'd be lucky to have care for your cats. I struck gold with Amanda on my first experience with Meowtel.

Amanda did an amazing job watching my two cats. She took lots of pictures and gave updates with each visit. She also gave my diabetic cat his medications. It was a relief to know he was in good hands during my trip. She was flexible with coordinating key drop off and pick up and even cleaned my floor mats when one of the cats had an accident on them. I came home to two happy cats. I definitely recommend Amanda if you are looking for a cat sitter!

Frequently Asked Questions

Mclean 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.
