Pet care experience

Crazy Cat Lady (in a good way!)

Dog sitters are easy to come by... Cat sitters? Not so much. Quality cat sitters who truly love your animals as their own, and understand cats are different t than dogs? Even more rare. I'm the person who will pet a cat that comes up to her, anywhere anytime. The lady on the block who has treats by her front door for the neighborhood stray who frequently stops by. I have cats of my own... Orange boys who are like my kids, one of whom i rescued from the streets and another who underwent a subtotal colectomy three years ago and survived because of awesome vet care and my attention to detail for post-op care. I've had cats growing up, and even went through immunotherapy to have them as an adult. I understand the need for routine litterbox cleaning, fresh water, and the nuances of cat care and engagement as the cats allow. Cats are a whole vibe! I give you the same Rover experience I would want as a client myself. Lots of photos and videos and stories of the cat activities from their POV. True cat lover here!

Safety, trust & environment

I will drop in as you require, based on the schedule we agree upon. I will scoop litter daily, unless you have an automatic litterbox. Even then, I always like to make sure all kitties are pottying regular (thats a holdover from my Sheldon's gut issues). If your cats like to be brushed, or brushing is necessary, just leave out the brush or comb and I'm happy to include with pets and scritches. Playtime is included for those who are out and about if they're interested. For those cats who aren't as social, i just check on them visually in their hiding spots but leave them be. Cats are a whole vibe! I am also happy to take in mail or packages if required.

Amanda is the best! I get so nervous leaving our cats behind, but Amanda looked after them like they were her own. She went above and beyond and we are so thankful for her! We could not recommend Amanda highly enough.

Amanda was friendly, responsible, and such a cat lover! She took very good care of our cat, providing daily care. It was reassuring to know we had someone we could count on when we were away.

Schedule

I work from home, and can make my own schedule so anything in my service area of Independence is easily managed. Will consider additional areas if necessary.

Cats
Amanda can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
I'd like to know if they are gregarious, or if they tend to hide when company is over and where the favorite spots are. Are they declawed, prone to biting or scratching outside of normal play, any unusual pottybox habits to watch for (ex: my subtotal colectomy cat has loose stool... Which is normal b/c he doesnt have a colon... But could alarm someone who didnt know)
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
