Cat Sitting

Personalized Care for your Feline Friend

Cats can sometimes come off as being independent and self-sufficient. But they look to their humans for not only food, but love, comfort, play time and companionship, as well. So when you’re away – whether it’s for a week or a day – it can create stress and boredom for your feline friend.

With our expert cat sitting services, we’ll make sure your kitty has everything he or she needs to be healthy and happy while you’re gone. Our services are tailored to accommodate your cat’s personality and needs. So whether your kitty craves extra playtime, lives for lots of affection or just wants to be left alone, you can rest assured that we’ll pamper your pet to the fullest.

Depending on your needs, our services can include:
  • Feed meals/treats
  • Rinse and freshen water bowls
  • Playtime – laser or feather wand toys
  • Turning lights on and off
  • Administer medications (oral and SubQ)
  • Diabetic Care – Glucose Testing and Insulin Injection – Using your supplies
  • Scooping the litter box
  • Play music on TV or Alexa
  • Brushing

Scent Devices and Products
Some households choose to use plug-ins, reed diffusers, air fresheners, strong scented candles and other like products. They
frequently contain toxic ingredients and have been associated with pet allergies and adverse respiratory conditions for both people
and pets. We ask that you unplug and store away these products a couple days before your pet sit begins. (Pheromone devices are fine!) I have had clients comment about scent in their homes that has been carried from another home. The scent from these products imbeds in clothing, carpet and hair and is carried with me to several homes. Certain people can be sensitive causing them to experience headaches, sneezing, burning eyes and throat, and more. It also embeds in your pet’s fur. This is important to us, so we ask for your support in this request. For important information in association with your pet, please search YouTube for: “Dr. Becker Discusses the Dangers of Scented Candles and Plug-ins.” Click here to view: https://youtu.be/lM0GNEy0Q30?si=n5td963ZONkqWfSN

Cat Care and Litter
We only service and care for cats who use dust free and unscented kitty litter. Again it goes along with what is mentioned above.
The dust from scooping the box does carry on sleeves, faces and hair into next households. We ask for your support in being
considerate to other households. A few brands we like are: (1) Fresh Step Clean Paws Simply Unscented Clumping Clay Cat
Litter, (2) Ever Clean Extra Strength Unscented Clumping Clay Cat Litter (3) Tidy Cats Free & Clean Unscented Clumping Clay Cat Litter and (4) So Phresh Advanced Odor Control Scoopable Fragrance Free Cat Litter. Please make sure the litter box is cleaned, has fresh litter and any Genie type units are clean and have a fresh bag. Of equal concern, as cats groom themselves, they are ingesting whatever is in their litter, including scents and dust.

ADD ONS $5 ADDITIONAL DURING ALOTTED TIME (PER ANIMAL)
Medication administration (up to 3 simple oral or topical medications, additional meds $3 per dose), wipe down with holistic grooming wipes and complete body brushing.
**Litter scooping is included.
