What does professional pet sitting include?
Pet sitters will give your pets the practical care they need, as well as love and attention they crave while you’re away. Professional pet sitters are experienced in looking after dogs, cats, birds, chickens, ducks, snakes, rats, mice, guinea pigs, fish, horses, cows, and many more animals. Some ways your pet sitter may help are:
Feeding your pet
Most pets need feeding once or twice a day, plus water checked, changed, and topped up. Your professional pet sitter will make sure your pet has fresh, clean water and that they’re fed on schedule with the right quantities and foods, as specified in your instructions. If your pet has special dietary requirements, you can let your pet sitter know so they can accommodate them.
Exercising your pet
While some pets get enough exercise from running around their enclosure or yard area, if you have a dog, they’ll probably need regular walks. Whether it’s three times a day or just a couple of times a week, your pet sitter can take your dog for a walk so they stay fit, happy, and healthy while you’re on holidays or working late in the office.
Cleaning up
Don’t come home from your holiday or a long day at work to a messy house, yard, or cage. Your pet sitter can take care of all kinds of pet messes so you don’t have to stress. They’ll pick up dog droppings and dispose of them in the bin, change kitty litter as needed, and replace the newspaper in the bottom of your bird or reptile enclosure. Plus, if you’re on an extended holiday, your pet sitter can help arrange pet grooming services like dog grooming and dog washing.
Catering to special requirements
Do you have a dog with diabetes or cat with cataracts? If your pet needs extra special attention, let your professional pet sitter know. Most pet sitters are experienced in pets with special needs, including daily injections, specific diets, giving oral medications, and more. They can even help arrange visits to the vet if your pet needs some extra care.

Cat sitting close to cbd.

I have a 4 year old Bengal cat Boris. I need someone who is very close to cbd. Within 5 mins. (I’m very close to southern cross. ) To look after him when I need to be out of the house for extended periods of time. So this may just be hosting him for a day…for a few hours and or over nighters. But suitable candidate would get ongoing jobs. Basically Bengal cats require lots of attention. So if I leave him for too long, all hell breaks loose. But really I just love him too much and feel bad when he’s home alone too long. Once again you must live very close to cbd for ease of dropping off and picking up. And must have a pet free home. (One cat is negotiable provided they meet and greet and get along )

Hi! I’m looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter to look after my two Russian Blue cats while I’m away on a holiday trip to Japan. The trip may last up to two months. The sitter is welcome to stay at my home during this time if they wish, but staying overnight is optional. The most important requirement is that the cats are fed at their scheduled times each day. Timing: I’m not yet 100% sure of my exact travel dates, but the trip will most likely start around mid-October and may run through to December. There is a chance the sitting period could include Christmas and New Year. Because of this, I’m looking for someone who can fully commit to caring for the cats during this time. Exact dates will be confirmed as soon as possible. Payment: The rate will be $30 per day ($210 per week). Payments will be made weekly through the app. More details can be discussed once the right sitter is chosen. About the cats: I have two friendly Russian Blue cats named Loki and Sylvie. They are clean, healthy, and easy to care for in a calm home environment. They are microchipped, vaccinated, and regularly wormed. Please note they are not desexed as we are small hobby breeders. Responsibilities: • Feed them three times per day (9am, 2pm, 7pm) • Clean litter tray once daily • Refill fresh water daily • Spend a little time with them for company • Occasionally check the house is secure Updates: I’d really appreciate a quick daily message or photo so I know they are doing well. Emergency care: If a medical emergency occurs, please take them to a vet if needed. I will cover all veterinary costs once notified. A family member may occasionally stop by to check the house and the cats.you do not have to be present when they visit. I will let you know a day before they arrive. If this sounds like something you can commit to, please tell me a little bit about yourself.

Looking for someone to host / look after two indoor cats tomorrow morning at their place for around 5 hours, as I’ve had unexpected work come up. I will drop them off to you before 8:00 am and pick them up later the same day. They’re friendly, generally calm, and easy to look after. One of them can be a little shy in new environments and may prefer to hang out in her carrier or find a quiet hiding spot for part of the time. Feeding and litter tray only — no medication required. Both cats are fully vaccinated and healthy (deflead/wormed). They should be kept securely indoors and away from other pets during the stay. Will provide food, litter, and anything else needed. Ideally looking for someone nearby with a safe indoor space. Short-notice job. Please let me know availability and location when responding.
