Anyssa is lovely, easy to communicate with and I couldn’t have found someone better to help look after my cat! Although he’s fairly easy to look after, I was so much more calm knowing how much experience and knowledge Anyssa has with animals. Couldn’t recommend her services more highly - if I could give 10 stars I would.

What do cat sitting services include?

The cat sitting service includes all the tasks and activities necessary to care for your cat while you’re away. This involves feeding and medicating your cat if required, sending you updates, having some playtime and cleaning out their litter box as necessary. 

Feeding and playing with your cat

Your hired cat sitter can go to your home to feed your cat. This may include cleaning your cat’s food and water bowls and cleaning them out after your cat has eaten. Your cat sitter can give your cat the prescribed amount of food, and even feed them only the food and amount you specify if they are on a strict diet.  

Some cat sitters can provide the cat food should your supply run out, but this can cost extra. After their meal, your cat sitter can stay with your cat for a while to play with them and keep them from feeling sad or lonely. Some cat sitters make this part of the service package, but some may charge a little extra.  

Giving them their medication

Your hired cat sitter can give elderly cats or cats with medical issues the medication they need. The cat sitter can give your cat eye drops, ear drops, feed them pills and apply most other medication your cat needs, all while following the prescribed dosage instructions. Some cat sitters may replenish the prescriptions should these run out, but they may charge a separate fee for this.

Sending updates

Thanks to smartphones and messaging apps, you don’t have to wonder or worry about your cat’s status every minute. Your cat sitter can send you updates in the form of pictures, video recordings, real-time videos or any combination of these sent to you through one of these apps. These updates of your cat can be sent each time your cat sitter goes to your home to check in on your beloved kitty. 

Cleaning the litter box

With no one to clean the litter box, the house can foul up, and your cat may eventually refuse to use the litter box and do their business in random areas. To avoid this, your cat sitter can dispose of the used kitty litter and replace it with a fresh batch. This can be done as often as needed. 

Other services

Some cat sitters may offer extra services for an additional fee. This can include cleaning out areas that your cat may have made a mess in, taking out the garbage, checking your mailbox and placing the mail on your counter, or bringing in any newspapers or packages that were left on your doorstep. 

This can help keep up the impression that your house isn’t completely empty and deter any would-be intruders. But if you are also concerned with the security of your home while you’re away, consider hiring a house sitting service or house sitters.

I have an auto feeder and food that will come with her aswell as a perch and some toys Let me know or make an offer if this is something you would like to do. I am in Ormond Vic and can drop her off anywhere that's a reasonable drive

Malvern East VIC, Australia

Looking for someone reliable to housesit my 9yr old cat for a few weeks in December over the holidays (28 Nov- 27 Dec). He’s a Ragdoll that LOVES to play so he will need a lot of attention when he’s in the mood! He has a really sweet temperament and won’t mind if you’re gone for work or family stuff, He's pretty chill and just watches cat tv or sleeps all day. All food and toys will be provided! He also doesn’t like other cats :( If the right person lives near I’d strongly prefer house visits since his carrier and litterbox are big (he's a HUGE kitty) and I just adopted him earlier this year. But, I understand it might be difficult to visit over the holidays so I can arrange a drop off to yours before I go or house visit + take him to stay with you on Christmas! I probably wouldnt recommend sleeping with him since he'll most likely walk all over you for cuddles or sleep on your face... I've grown used to sleepless nights, but you can definitely try for a few days if you'd like! Lol Rate per day is double my local cattery but is completely negotiable!

We will be away for 2 or three nights and would love to place our Fiona with someone who would take care of her. She is a 4 months old kitten and still very cautious of people, however you might soften her by waving a fluffy toy. She is also afraid of other cats, esspecially older ones. She is with us for the last two months. She was a street cat before that. We would provide her bed, food, feeding schedule, and toys.
