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:

Choose a sitter who has a business license and insurance.
Ask if they are members of any professional organizations, such as the National association of Professional Pet Sitters (NAPPS), Professional United Pet Sitters (P.U.P.S.), or the Association of Pet Sitting Excellence (APSE).
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.

I love how they make you feel like family. I almost immediately felt comfortable as did my dog. My dog is usually a little timid around other dogs as she has been bit before. She seemed to very quickly be comfortable with not only Christine and Linda, but with the other dogs. She has been there a few times and happily walks in the door, which is a drastic improvement from when I would take her to a kennel, I would have to carry her in because she knew where she was and was not happy to go. They have also come to our home to take care of our cats while we have been out of town. We live in our RV as we are new to Florida and looking for a place to call "home." I was very worried leaving the cats as I know how hot Florida summers get and was worried about losing power. They let me know anytime a storm was in the area, so I could check my cameras for power and promised to go get the cats if we ever lost power. We never did lose power thankfully, but I had no doubt and no worries that they would have done whatever they had to do to keep my kitties safe had we lost power. I am very happy that we have found DDD Ranch. I know my pets will always be taken care of and treated like family. If you love your pets like children and want someone to do the same, I can not recommend them enough.
