When someone cares for your cat in your home, trust matters. Our professional cat sitters are insured, bonded, background-checked, and carefully vetted—so you can travel knowing your cat and home are protected.

This helps ensure your cat receives thoughtful, professional care while you’re away.
Before visits start, your sitter will schedule a free in-home Meet & Greet so you can meet them and confirm the plan—routine, access, and any special instructions.
At the Meet & Greet, you’ll:
Review routines + medications
Confirm home access details
Finalize emergency + vet preferences
Set expectations for updates
You’re not handing keys to a stranger—you’re meeting your sitter and getting everything aligned up front.
Letting someone into your home requires discretion. You need a sitter who is experienced in following clear access and privacy directives—so you can feel comfortable before, during, and after your trip.
Our sitters:
Only access the areas you approve
Lock up according to your instructions
Handle keys and access details securely
Keep your information private
By request, the sitter can also help your home look lived-in: bring in mail/packages, rotate lights/blinds, water plants, and move bins.
Emergencies are rare—but if something feels off, your sitter will act quickly and keep you informed.
If your cat shows signs of illness, injury, or distress, your sitter will:
Contact you immediately
Follow your written plan—including contacting your designated emergency contact if needed.
Seek urgent care if required (your preferred vet or the nearest appropriate clinic) and continue updating you as the situation develops.
