How to Judge a Good Cat Sitter
Jan 26 2023.
It’s natural to feel anxious about your kitty’s care whenever you go away. Finding a good cat sitter for your feline is undoubtedly one of the most important aspects of planning any trip! You and the ‘boss’ will want to find the purr-fect carer. Once you do, we always recommend that you meet the cat sitter before you go away. That way, you, your cat and the sitter all get to know each other and you can see how your feline gets along with their new human friend!
During this introductory visit, watch how the cat sitter interacts with your cat. First impressions are important. But also bear in mind that if your cat is shy, he may need some time to trust this new face.
A good cat sitter will ask the right questions, collecting that vital cat care information as part of the cat sitter process. They will want to know about feeding, the litter box, and about your furry friend too – where he likes to hide, how he likes to be played with. Much more personal than a cattery! As an owner, have the important information listed on your profile page or ready to share on the visit. If you have any other requests such as collecting mail, or watering plants, a good sitter will happily help with these too.
When joining our community you will find lots of great tips for owners and cat sitters in the Forms & Tips section of your profile.
We encourage all our sitters to send daily updates. Each owner will have a personal preference on frequency. If you feel the updates are not as often as you’d like, please let the sitter know. Being assured that your fur baby is well is the most important thing so you can relax while away.
