What does a cat sitter do?

A cat sitter cares for your cat or cats in your home while you are away. Cat sitting visits typically last 20 to 30 minutes and include feeding, refreshing water dishes, cleaning litter boxes, and play time if your cat wants it. Most cat sitters also offer longer visits if needed.

Do cats need sitters?

While cats are very independent, they still enjoy the presence of humans. If you are planning to be away for more than 24 hours, hiring a cat sitter will ensure your cats are safe and cared for and help ease their anxiety while you are gone.

Cats are territorial creatures, and most don't like to be moved, so cat sitting is ideal in most cases. Still, if you are uncomfortable having a pet sitter in your house while you are away, consider cat boarding services instead.

How do I choose the best cat sitters near me?

When searching for a cat sitter, remember to:

Check their profile and reviews on HomeGuide and Google.
Ask for and check their references.
Schedule a meet and greet beforehand to make sure he or she is a good fit for both you and your cat.

Reviews for Aurora cat sitters

Recent success stories from people in the Aurora area.

Jeff helped us out when I was out of town a lot by taking Sunny on long walks with other dogs. She loves being social and the exercise keeps her from getting into mischief at home. He even taught her how to walk like a civilized dog on a leash! He would do a separate, slower paced walk with our blind dog FredE. My dogs get so much more from his visits than they do a doggie day care.

I met Rita at a local dog park and was really impressed with how well she managed the dogs in her care. My dog spends one or two days a week with her, going to the park, doing lots of walks, and playing in her backyard. My dog always comes back tired (which is great) - but the secret fringe benefit is the "afterglow" that comes from spending time with a very skilled trainer who is WAY more consistent than I am. My dog has learned A TON, and so have I! Rita is very generous with her knowledge and is a great information resource for someone like me with a very energetic young dog. I strongly recommend Rita. She'll treat your dog like it's her own.

Jamie is the absolute best! We love her and she has become part of our family. We sought help with our year old Pyrenees mix three years ago. We wanted to work on the normal behavior skills since our pup was a rescue and we didn’t have an prior history on him. He has thrived on all basic training areas because of her! Jamie has continued training and has given us help during the week to get our dog the exercise he needs. We could not have found a better trainer/dog walker/friend. Jamie encompasses it all!!!! If there were a rating higher than 5 stars she would exceed that.
