Pet care experience
Cat Sitter in Eastern Market🐈🐈⬛
Thanks for looking at my profile! My name is Amanda and I am a responsible and conscientious person who will take great care of your cats while you are away! I grew up in a house with cats and I currently have three of my own. I let cats lead our interactions, meaning that if your cat doesn’t like strangers, don’t worry! I won’t pester them. I try to make the experience of cat sitting as low stress as possible for your pet. I don’t surprise them, respect their space, and let them approach me. The same goes for cats who are real people persons: I’m happy to play with toys or pet them for 30 minutes straight if that’s what they need! If your pet needs oral medication or eye drops, I can provide that. I have administered an inhaler as well. I do not have experience doing injectable medication on pets, but I have helped a family member with insulin, so hypothetically I could be open to that. If this applies to you, let’s chat and see if I am a good fit, or if you should look for a veterinary assistant or vet tech who does pet sitting. No matter what, I will follow your care instructions to a T and send lots of photos with my Rover Card.

Safety, trust & environment
I strive to treat all animals gently and with respect, as some pets are shy or strongly prefer their owner. I let the animal lead our interactions, so if they want to play or be pet, I’ll do so. Some cats think everyone is their friend! If they want to hide, or if they want to hang out but like some distance, I respect their space. I have also worked with some cats who dislike strangers or are very frightened by them. If that’s the case, let’s chat and discuss the best plan of action. I may recommend that I do more of a drive-by service where I do not stay for any longer than is needed for food, water, and litter.
Ratings and reviews
Highly recommend Amanda! She also saved the day…a service person had locked our cat in a bathroom that morning. SO grateful Amanda immediately messaged us that she hadn’t seen Hampden while putting new food out!!
Amanda was so communicative and thoughtful and prompt. She took great care of my cats, who clearly both loved her. Highly recommend!!
Amanda took great care of my two cats, look forward to having her cat sit again!
Amanda did a great job on a last minute request. Thank you for taking such good care of my cat!
Our cat Morris is so much happier with Amanda visiting him while we are out of town. Amanda is great with communications and pictures, making our vacation time more enjoyable knowing Mo is taken care of!
Amanda took amazing care of my cat Nero and provided lots of updates and photos of how he was doing and his antics. She also was very flexible and adaptable when there was an issue with my apartment door and her clear communication helped me get the issue resolved quickly even while being overseas. Thanks Amanda!

Schedule
I provide pet services before and after my normal 9-5 job and on the weekends. Typically I can do weekday morning visits between 6-7 am and evening visits between 6-9 pm. On weekends, I typically will do morning or mid day visits to your cats, but let’s chat about their schedule!
- CatsAmanda can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
- I like to know about their food, litter set up for cats, and basic personality. Are they shy, are they playful, should I try to pet them, etc. If they are shy, it’s helpful to know if they will hide since I may not be able to get a photo for you. For the owners, I also like to know how to pick up/drop off the keys.
