Just a few reasons to choose us to take care of your cherished cat
We understand not all cats act the same
We have taken care of cats that are the perfect package: loving, playful and happy to see us. We have also taken care of cats that hiss and prefer we go away now! We understand being a great cat sitter means taking a cat as they are. So, if your cat wants to be left alone, we can do that. If your cat just needs time to get to know us, that's fine too. We don't mind sitting and reading to them until they feel comfortable! And if your cat is ready to play when we get there, even better. We will have a great time!
We do not get offended by kitty messes
We know if your cat doesn't use a litter box, or chooses to throw up right in the doorway, they are trying to tell us something, not punish us. Part of our cat sitting job involves cleaning up any messes your pet may leave. Because stress can cause cats to act out, we will let you know they're unhappy and work with you to find a resolution.
We notice cat physical and behavior changes
Experience and knowledge matter. When we see your cat walking with its back arched, we know to suggest a vet visit as it is probably arthritis in their knees. When your young cat is peeing excessively, we can let you know they may have a urinary tract infection or be an undiagnosed diabetic. These are just two of the issues we have helped to identify. Being a great cat sitter means we actively engage with your cat so we will notice changes in appetite, litter box habits or playtime activities.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you only take care of cats? My household also has a dog, fish, bunny, chicken, hamster, guinea pig, gecko, snake, bird, etcetera…
We do not provide services for dogs. However, if your household has other pets that need attention, we may consider providing services for that animal as well. Additional charges may apply.
What is included in onboarding as a new client?
- A complimentary in-home consultation so we can meet you and your pets and learn about habits, routines, and anything else we need to know to provide your pets with the best care possible.
- A permanent client profile record in our secure pet sitting software
- 24/7 access to our software app to make reservations, reach out to your sitter, and more.
- Registration and nondescript tagging of the keys to your home.
- A customized care plan to ensure that we perform all of the cat care up to your expectations.
Do you offer every-other-day visits?
No. We are professionally liable for the care of your cat from the start date to the end date of our contract so it is important we check on the safety and care of your cat daily. We want to ensure your cat is properly cared for every day while you are away.
Can your sitter share care duties with my family, friend, roommate or neighbor?
Sorry, we do not share cat or home care duties with third parties (friends, family, neighbors, or other pet care companies) for liability and safety concerns. We provide our clients with the peace of mind knowing your sitter is bonded and insured. However, a third party entering your home voids this since it makes it impossible to know who the liability falls on if for example, doors or windows are left unlocked, property is damaged or missing, or your cat is not medicated correctly. We want to provide our highest quality cat and home care — to your exact instructions. In order to do this, your Cherished Cat pet sitter needs to be your sole cat caregiver and house sitter while you are away.
