Safety, trust & environment

I always move at a cat’s pace. New people can be stressful for them, so I keep things calm, give them space to warm up, and let them choose how much interaction they want. I follow your routine closely feeding, water, litter, medications, and any house rules so everything feels familiar while you’re away. At home, I care for my own cats with more than just basics, making sure they have enrichment, comfort, and attention, and I bring that same level of care to your pets. I stay observant, double-check doors and safety details, and make sure your cat feels safe, respected, and comfortable every visit.

Pet care experience

I’ve been around cats since I was a kid, and now I’m a cat mom to Bibble and Strawberry as well as a current PAWS foster parent for kittens like Ketchup and Hoisin. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, so I always care for other people’s cats the way I’d want someone to care for mine. I’m comfortable with shy, playful, curious, or sensitive cats, and I follow routines closely while keeping things clean and calm. I refresh food, water, and litter before I leave, and I send clear photo updates so you always know how your cat is doing. Can’t wait to meet your furballs.

Amal took care of my 3 cats while I was away and she was wonderful! She was responsive, reliable and kind. I was shocked to see pictures of my skittish cat accepting pets from Amal almost immediately! I would definitely recommend Amal and we will be using her again in the future.

Amal has taken care of our cats twice now and is an excellent sitter! She sent updates and photos after each visit, and spent a lot of time with our boys. We hope to work with her again!

Amal was great! She was super responsive and cared for my babies as her own! I felt safe leaving for a trip knowing Amal was taking care of them and sending photos as she loved on them!
