Top Cat Sitting related questions

Your hired cat sitter is an expert and comes prepared with all the necessary tools along with years of experience. What you may provide are any of your cat’s favourite food, treats, toys and blankets to make your cat more comfortable and feel more secure. If your cat has any medical issues, you can provide their medication and dosage instructions for your cat sitter to administer them. Remember to provide the key to access your home or flat!

The time and duration of the service depends on your cat’s needs. If your cat has unique needs and can’t be alone, your sitter can make daily visits and stay for at least an hour to ensure your cat has their food and water bowls filled. They can give them any medication if required. Some cat sitters may stay longer to keep your cat company, but this can cost extra.

Yes! You can hire a Tasker to assist if you operate a cat sitting service business. All you have to do is make a post with all the essential details on Airtasker. You’ll find that there are Taskers for a wide range of jobs, even uncommon ones like big cat sitting, house cleaning, house sitting, babysitting and cat grooming services! Just be specific in your post to attract the right Taskers.

Before deciding on a cat sitter, do a background check on them. Ask for references, and take the time to talk to a sitter’s former clients. If you’re checking out sitters on Airtasker, pore through the reviews and check the ratings on cat sitters you’re looking at hiring. Should you have the time, arrange a meeting with a potential cat sitter and take your cat along to observe how the sitter interacts with your kitty. 

A cat sitter should visit cats in their care every 24 hours. A lot can happen in the time that your cat is left alone, so it’s best to have someone check in every day. Having a cat sitter check in on them this often may reduce the chances of developing extreme separation anxiety. A cat sitter who visits every 24 hours can ensure they have a clean litter box and always have food and water.

That depends on your budget and how comfortable you are about having someone visit or stay in your home. Both a cat sitter and a house sitter need access to your home, but the cat sitter is more concerned with your cat and doesn’t usually stay. A house sitter can stay and care for your cat and look after your house and its contents, but this can incur additional costs.

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.

Cat sitting close to cbd.

$50

Melbourne City VIC, Australia

18th Mar 2026

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.
