FAQs for finding cat sitters near you
What is a cat sitter?
A cat sitter is an experienced pet sitter who looks after your cat (or cats) in the comfort of their own home or from your home. The cat sitter will provide daily care, love, attention, and medical needs for however long you request. Many cat sitters are also trained in administering medication and other special care instructions to ensure your feline friend remains happy and healthy while you're away.
How much does it cost to hire a cat sitter in 2023?
The national average rate for a cat sitter on Care.com is $13.26 per hour as of February, 2023. This rate can vary depending on the specific needs of your cat, how many cats you have at your home or apartment, and how many hours or days the cat sitter will need to come over.
What questions should I ask a cat sitter before hiring them?
You want to make sure any potential cat sitter has a genuine love of animals and will be responsible while they're in your home. Ask about the kinds of pets they grew up with or currently own and how much experience they have cat sitting. Be very specific about the needs your cat has and make sure they're comfortable with your cat's demeanor before agreeing to hire them. Also discuss how often you want to be updated on how your cat is doing while you're away.
What services do cat sitters usually provide?
Most professional cat sitters offer basic services like food and water replenishment, litter box maintenance, playtime, socialization, grooming, administering medications (if needed), and giving lots of love! They can also take your kitty out for walks (if they're comfortable with that) or bring in mail or packages while you're away. Some companies even offer additional services such as overnight stays if your feline buddy requires extra TLC.
How do I find a reliable cat sitter?
When you search for a cat sitter on Care.com, you can read reviews from current or former clients of the cat sitters you’re considering. These reviews should give you a pretty good idea of how reliable the cat sitter is.
