Learn More About Amanda
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I find true joy in connecting with cats in their own space and on their own terms. Seeing their unique personalities shine away from the stress of a veterinary clinic is incredibly rewarding. I am deeply passionate about feline behavior and well-being. Having the honor to know these sweet creatures in their home environment allows me to provide the care they deserve, while giving you peace of mind that your furry family is in expert hands. Spending time with cats reminds me daily why I love being a veterinary technician. 🫶🐱
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have 3 fur kids. My handsome 🍊 boy Pickles. My pretty 🍊 princess Peaches. And the newest addition, my sweet tuxedo girl Cherry 🍒
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
My approach is all about the 'slow and steady' to build genuine trust. I specialize in reading subtle body language and adapting my presence entirely to your cat’s cues to ensure they feel safe and in control. I utilize positive reinforcement—such as high-value treats or non-contact play—to create a safe association with my visits. I respect their chosen hiding spots while carefully monitoring their health and environment. My commitment is to provide a low-stress, predictable routine tailored specifically to their comfort level.

Amanda was watching our kitty for a second time, and, as previously, she went above and beyond! She first made sure that our buddy felt comfortable with her and then established a routine of feeding and playtime. She communicated with us in detail when observing our kitty’s litter box pattern to ensure everything was OK, and we received tons of pictures and videos, complete with a summary overview of how our kitty was doing at the end of every visit. Our buddy was happy to see her every morning, as displayed by his body language. If you value commitment and skill and thorough communication, Amanda is the person to look after your furry-purry friends!

This was our first time having Amanda watch over our 7yr old kitty. She did a great job! From the beginning with the meet&greet- asking many questions and making sure all the details were correct, taking her time to let our cat get familiar with her, being the most respectful, we felt comfortable right away. Over the course of the visit, we received multiple updates and pictures (never can get enough!) regarding playtime, food, litter and anything else that came up! By day 2 - you can tell our cat already felt super comfortable. We will definitely be booking Amanda again and you should too!

Amanda was amazing. We needed someone on a rather short notice, and she was promptly available for a meet and greet. We also needed a sitter who can handle a potentially non-cooperative kitty and felt comfortable leaving him in Amanda’s care given her professional skills and background. She quickly developed a rapport with our kitty, provided him lots of play time, followed our instructions closely, as well as sent a ton of pictures and notes of her visits. We returned home to a happy and purr-y kitty and couldn’t be more pleased with a sitter!

Thank you! I'm thrilled to hear how happy your handsome boy was when you returned home.😺🏠 He was a delight to spend time with🧶🐈⬛️🐾🥰. I'm glad I could provide you with peace of mind. I really appreciate your kind words.

From our first in-home meet when Amanda took notes on her phone and asked me good questions, I felt confident she would give conscientious care to my 3 cats....and she did! At her every visit I enjoyed receiving photos of what cats were doing and what she had done for them. Anything unexpected or of question, she texted me promptly for my response. Overall, I was VERY pleased!!

Amanda is probably the most qualified cat sitter I have ever encountered. We have a young (2 3/4 years old) & spunky indoor tortie girl who can definitely display tortitude & is not exposed to a lot of people. Amanda won her over in a matter of days with her knowledge of cat behavior & respect for kitty’s boundaries. They are play & cuddle buddies now. We couldn’t be happier!

Thank you so much! I'm thrilled your tortie girl has found comfort with me being around. 🥰 Earning a cat's trust with strong "tortitude" is so rewarding.🫶🐈⬛️ She is a sweet and smart little lady. Can't wait until next time!

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.
Nokesville 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!

Amanda was my cat sitter when I lived in Virginia and I couldn't have been more grateful for her! She took care of and spoiled my two diva girls anytime I was out of town. They are both shy so I appreciated her patience with them and she won them over quickly. She knew their favorite toys and treats and would send me lots of photos while I was away so I could see that they were in great hands. I worry about my cats when I'm away and being a pet mom herself Amanda understood and put me at ease. She was always easy to communicate with and very detailed and thorough and made sure to keep me informed of any potential issues with my girls. I could tell that Amanda really loved my girls too which made it just a little easier when I was away from them.
