Cat sitting near you. Individual vacation care for cats.
3 Steps away to your kitty being spoiled rotten, and a guilt free vacation!
Looking for a cat sitter? Simply enter your Zip code or the name of your area plus the dates you'll need a pet feeding service. Cat in a Flat will then connect you to some lovely cat sitters in your neighborhood.
Each cat sitter has an individual profile page where you can see their personal cat care experience, reviews, qualifications, criminal record checks, rates, belly-rubbing skills, etc...
Our online cat sitting service allows you to individually select visiting times of 1 or 2 visits a day or overnight stays.
Once a cat sitter has confirmed their availability for your pet vacation care, you can go ahead with the booking and online payment.
Once you have chosen your star local cat sitter you should arrange a meet-up beforehand, this is a great way to check that your 'boss' approves of your choice. You can find out more about booking the perfect pet sitter and contracts here.
The cat sitter should come to your house to meet your cat, find out their routine, where the food is kept and pick up your keys. All cat sitters are happy to follow your bespoke cat care instructions as long as you make them clear.

Once you have confirmed either daily visits, once or twice a day or overnight stays, your pet sitter and their cat caring service are covered by our Cat in a Flat Guarantee for the duration of your booking.
It's important to us that your cats are safe and healthy so all our cat sitters follow the Code of Conduct. And for extra peace of mind (and because we know you miss them) you'll get a daily photo of your kitty too.

We hope to help you find the best cat sitters near you. Having your cats looked after at home is a great alternative to cat boarding and far less stressful for you and your cat than any cat boarding arrangement.
Cats don’t like change, they don’t like to travel, and they don’t like sharing space with unfamiliar cats. Cat sitters will pay individual, custom and loving attention to your cat or cats based on their preferences. Therefore, cat sitting is the best solution for most cats, and it’s also more convenient and less expensive for cat owners.

Cat in a Flat recommends allowing at least a few weeks to find a trustworthy cat sitter. At busy times such as around summer and Federal holidays, it’s wise to start looking at least a month before. Always contact several sitters at once as some get fully booked quickly.
