HOW DO I FIND A GREAT CAT SITTER?

12/1/2022

Not all pet sitters are created equally, nor are they all professionals with impressive qualifications. Most generic pet sitters deal primarily with dogs and while they may be very skilled and knowledgable with the canine species, their experience and skill set with cats might be lacking. Finding a cat sitter you trust is important since they’ll work closely with your cat, have access to your home and will need to be in communication with you while you’re away.

A referral from someone you already trust is a great place to start when finding a pet sitter. For example, you can ask your veterinarian or get a recommendation from a family member or friend.

Make sure that the cat sitter is a fit for you and your cat by asking the right questions. Some good questions to ask include:

  • What type of cat care qualifications do you have?
  • What will a routine visit to my house look like? 
  • Are you insured? 
  • How do you deal with pet medical emergencies?
  • Can you handle my cat’s specific medical needs?
  • Can you provide me with several references from other cat owners?
