A Day in the Life of a Cat Sitter

Cat Sitters visit cats in clients homes for drop-in visits (30, 45, or 60 minutes) once or twice daily or for 10 hour overnight stays. Before your first sitting visit, youll meet each client and their cat in person for a meet and greet in their home, winning them over with your warm smile, demeanor and professional approach. Youll go over the whole care routine, finding out where things are in the home, and discuss contingency plans for emergencies. At the sittings, youll precisely follow the directions the client has given for the cat and home care, socialize with the cat, leave the home spotless, and delight the client by sending a daily visit update to them through our pet sitting phone app.

What to Expect:

• Meet & Greet: Meet your feline clients (and their humans) at home to learn about their needs and routines.
• Cat Care Done Right: Follow detailed instructions to a tee feeding, refreshing water, cleaning bowls, scooping litter, and administering medications if needed.
• Happy Hours: Spend quality time with each cat, offering love, cuddles, or playtime based on their unique personality.
• Light Housekeeping: Complete small tasks like watering plants, collecting mail, and taking out trash.
• Daily Updates: Keep owners in the loop with charming updates and photos that showcase their furry friends antics. We have a market-leading app to help you stay connected.
