Cat Care Services
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.

Me and my partner are going overseas for 3 weeks and need a pet sitter for our kitten 🥹 he is 9 months old! We are going away from Nov 4th - Nov 25th. He would just need to be fed in the morning and afternoon and may want a bit of play time as well :) his cat litter box would need cleaning too Prefer that he does stay in our apartment as he is still quite young and prefers his comfortable surroundings
Narelle was amazing! Kept us updated through our holiday with photos, messages and our little kitten was so happy 😁 recommended!

Cat Sitter from 1 July - At your home - 14yr old adopted puss
$30
Melbourne VIC, Australia
29th Jun 2024
Due to family medical emergency, I am looking for a cat sitter to start from 1 July (or as close to that date as possible). It is likely to be 2 weeks but could extend depending on the medical situation. I would need to bring him mid afternoon. I will provide all necessary items - bedding, food, bowls, snacks, toy, litter tray & litter, etc, plus leave additional funds for top ups. His personality and needs: * Doesn't really like being picked up but will tolerate it for between 10-30 seconds :) * He's not a lap cat but if he's comfortable with you, he may snuggle up next to you on the couch or bed * Needs his key meals (wet-food) split into smaller portions spread over an hour - else he will chug it down too fast … and we know what that means! The rest of the day he will graze on biscuits. * Hardly sheds; no grooming required * Gentle but a bit shy with strangers * Being a bit older, he's mostly happy to just sleep most of the day away but sometimes he may get his 'kitten' on and romp with his toy mouse for a few minutes * Can't deal with rowdy children or frantic dogs; may be okay if you have older or very placid other pet * He is a Bengal so he's not little but certainly not huge like a Maine Coon :) House Preferences: * Access to whole house - not just locked permanently in one room * Does like going outdoors so if you have a well contained area that's a bonus ... I can also bring a long lead that could be used to contain him within the boundary Preferred location is within 30km west of Bayswater or 30 km north of Moorabbin or 30km east and south of Melbourne Airport … But the right person is the key :) Please quote back with daily rate and we'll take it from there ... Thank you!

Dates I'm looking for: Twice a day on 8th Jun - 10th Jun Morning only for 11th Jun Visit location: Oakleigh He is inquisitive but takes a bit to warm up to but could be absolutely friendly once he gains faith.

I'm strictly looking for someone who respects and loves a pet as an equal and would be grateful if you can plz help with: - 2x feeds a day Morning and night (wet & dry) - regular litter change - playtime (leave the minutes up to you).
Thanks Yu for agreeing to pet sit my cat and for entertaining and playing with him too. Despite the distance from her house to mine, Yu quite literally went out of her way to help take care of my cat everyday, just because of her love for cats. She gave me regular updates everyday via texts with photos and videos. Overall, she has a friendly and genuine personality.
