Initial Booking Consultation 30 minutes
At the Meet and Greet, we answer questions, transfer keys, and tour your home while discussing detailed instructions on how to care for your cat(s). This required meeting must be scheduled at least 7 days prior to the start of any service with the exception to our Paws-In-Demand Pet Sitting Services.
FREE - You will meet with one of the owners to review detailed pet care instructions.
$25 - You will meet with one of the owners and your cat sitter to review detailed pet care instructions. If you require more than one cat sitter and would like to meet with all of them, it will cost $25 per cat sitter

Advantages of Professional Cat Sitting Services
-
Your cat will be comfortable and safe in their own home and will maintain their normal routines as much as possible.
-
We assign every client a primary cat sitter, a secondary cat sitter, and a tertiary cat sitter so if your regular cat sitter is out sick, services will continue in his/her absence with a cat sitter who is already familiar with your cat and his/her routine. We have found this helps minimize stress on the cats and allows us to provide consistent service throughout the year.
-
Your cat will receive one-to-one attention, the best care possible, and lots of love while you are away from our knowledgeable, confident, and compassionate staff.
-
You will have more flexibility with your schedule because we build the pet sitting schedule around when you are leaving and coming home.
-
We make your house look like it's lived in since we are there at least once per day.
-
We participate in on-going professional development. All of our cat sitters are trained with the same consistently high standards from the minute they join our team. This means you can rest assured that your beloved pets are receiving the best care possible from our knowledgeable, confident, and compassionate staff who are dedicated to maintaining and fostering the physical, social, and mental well-being of your cat.
-
We are Pet First Aid/CPR certified and are trained to know what to do in the case of an emergency.
Your cat will stay in the comfort of its own home while you are away. Our cat sitter will come to visit to feed, give fresh water, scoop litter boxes, and play with your cat. If your cat needs medication, we do have a couple of cat sitters trained to administer medication (pills, liquids, topical, and transdermal). We do all of the little extras as well as part of our standard visits (bring in mail, turn on/off lights, water plants, and make your home look like someone is home). For the safety and comfort of your cat(s) while you are away, we must provide a minimum of 1 visit in a 24 hour period.
Standard Single Visits - all of our standard visits are provided between 9:00am-5:00pm. If your cat requires a visit at a time outside of our regular service time, we would be more than happy to visit during our After Hours and provide services between 7:00am - 9:00pm. Please add an additional $5/visit for any visit before 9:00am or after 5:00pm.

We will not be actively engaging with your pet for the entire 60 minutes and will be working remotely from your home.

Twice Per Day Visits - all of our twice per day visits are provided between 7:30am-7:30pm based on the needs of your cat. We understand that cats get into a routine and expect or need their visits at certain times of the day so we want to provide visits as close to their regular time as possible.
