When your cat relies on medication, peace of mind starts with a clear plan. At your complimentary Meet & Greet, we’ll walk through your cat’s routine so care stays consistent while you’re away.
At the meeting, your sitter will confirm things such as:
Medication schedule + exact instructions (timing, dosage, food/treat preferences)
How your cat takes meds best (what works, what to avoid, stress signals)
Where everything is stored (meds, syringes/supplies, treats)
What to monitor and when to contact you (appetite, behavior, side effects)
Backup plan for refusals or issues
Medication care is never handled in isolation. Every visit includes the same reliable, in-home cat care our clients trust—so your cat’s full routine stays consistent.
Meals prepared and served exactly as instructed, coordinated around medication timing when needed.
Scooped every visit so your cat stays comfortable and stress-free.
Reassuring attention—especially important for cats not feeling their best.
Visit notes and photos after every visit, so you always know how your cat is doing.
When your cat needs medication, small details matter. After every visit, you’ll receive a clear update in your app—so you know medication was given and how your cat is doing.
Your updates include:
Confirmation of the routine (medication + key care tasks)
Notes on appetite, behavior, and anything to watch
Photos (and video when helpful)

Have a question we didn’t answer?
Many of our sitters can support common at-home medication routines, including pills, liquids, and topical medications (like eye/ear drops) as directed by you and your veterinarian. During your Meet & Greet, they’ll review the exact routine for your cat.
Yes. Medication care can be included with drop-in visits and can also be coordinated with overnight stays or house sitting when a longer presence is helpful. We’ll recommend the best visit schedule based on your cat’s dosing times and routine.
Your sitter will confirm dosage, timing, and instructions at the Meet & Greet, then follow your routine carefully during each visit. After every visit, you’ll receive an update with notes (and photos when appropriate) so you can see how the visit went.
You’ll walk your sitter through your cat’s routine—what to give, when to give it, where supplies are kept, and what works best for your cat. Your sitter will also confirm a backup plan (for example, what to do if your cat refuses) so expectations are clear before care begins.
You’ll receive visit notes and photos in your app after every visit. Updates typically include confirmation that medication was offered/given, how your cat did, and anything notable (appetite, behavior, or anything to keep an eye on).
Some cats are cooperative; others need patience and a familiar approach. Your sitter will follow your preferred method and any backup steps you approve at the Meet & Greet. If your cat refuses or seems stressed, they’ll update you promptly and follow the plan you’ve set (including contacting you before trying anything outside that plan).
Your cat’s safety comes first. Your sitter will follow your emergency instructions and contact you right away. If urgent care is needed, they’ll act quickly based on the emergency plan you provide (preferred vet/clinic, authorized contacts, and permissions discussed at the Meet & Greet).
Medication policies can vary based on the type of care and the sitter. We don’t charge extra for medication but if the sitter cannot fit the entire care routine within the scheduled visit length, a longer visit will need to be booked on subsequent scheduled visits.
Leave knowing your cat’s routine will be followed carefully—and you’ll receive an update after every visit. In-home care keeps things calm, consistent, and on schedule.
