A Day in the Life of a Cat Sitter

Cat Sitters visit cats in client’s 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, you’ll 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. You’ll go over the whole care routine, finding out where things are in the home, and discuss contingency plans for emergencies. At the sittings, you’ll 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.

Here’s 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 friend’s antics. We have a market-leading app to help you stay connected.

What We’re Looking For

Essential Traits:

• At least 18 years old
• Experience caring for cats (professional experience is a plus but NOT required)
• A smartphone with internet access, texting, and camera capabilities
• Ability to pass a criminal background check and provide references
  
  

Desirable Extras:

• Certification in pet first aid/CPR or experience administering oral meds, injections or fluids
• Calm, reliable, and organized personality (cats love consistency, and so do we!)
• Availability during peak times, especially winter holidays
  
  

Why This Job is the Cat’s Meow

This is a flexible, self-employed role (not an employee W2 position) that’s perfect for part-timers, workers with unconventional schedules, or anyone looking for a fulfilling side hustle.

Choose Your Shifts:

• 30, 45, or 60 minute drop in visits; 1x, 2x, or 3x daily
• Morning (6 am – 12 pm)
• Afternoon (12 pm – 5 pm)
• Evening (5 pm – 10 pm)
• Anytime (6 am – 10 pm)
• Overnight (10-hour stays in the client’s home)
  
  

We’ll match you with clients based on your availability. While we need reliability, the schedule is flexible within the timeframes chosen by your clients.

About Us

The Cat Care Equation = Reliability + Responsibility + Responsiveness.

Every single cat owner we’ve met considers their cat an essential part of their family. But, when they go away, knowing what to do and where to turn can be a hard road to navigate. Especially when there are so many seemingly “easy” options out there.

In our modern society, it can be challenging finding a cat sitter who is reliable, responsible, and responsive. We’ve seen all too often pet sitters who don’t recognize the profound importance of this. A negligent, inattentive, unknowledgeable cat sitter is not a lesson to be learned, it can be a travesty for both you and your cat.

Since 2014, we’ve been a trusted provider of professional in-home cat care. Whether it’s a shy senior cat or a rambunctious kitten, we provide individualized care with a focus on professionalism and love.

“Finding a reliable, responsive, and professional cat sitter these days is hard. Providing the highest quality service to our clients is of utmost importance to our company. Your trust and respect must not be violated by anyone you hire to care for your beloved cat and home.”

Dan McPartlan (Owner/Founder)
