The Perks

Here’s what’s in it for you:

• Competitive Pay
• Bonuses & Holiday Pay
• Flexibility

• Make money doing what you love!

• Receive bonus pay for working on holidays, accepting short notice requests, client referrals, positive feedback by your clients, and more.
• Many clients give generous gratuities which are 100% paid to the sitter.

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 at their home, learn their routines, and discuss contingency plans for emergencies. At the sittings, you’ll follow client instructions for cat and home care, socialize with the cat, leave the home spotless, and send daily visit updates through our pet sitting 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 for feeding, water, cleaning bowls, litter, and medications if needed.
• Happy Hours: Spend quality time with each cat based on their personality.
• Light Housekeeping: Complete small tasks like watering plants, collecting mail, and taking out trash.
• Daily Updates: Keep owners in the loop with updates and photos via our app.

• At least 18 years old

• Certification in pet first aid/CPR or experience administering medications or fluids
• Calm, reliable, and organized personality
• Availability during peak times, especially winter holidays
