Services you can offer

Most cat owners want someone to visit their cat at home — cats do best in familiar surroundings.

Drop-in Visits

Visit cats once or twice a day. Feed, clean the litter box, play, and send the owner a photo update.

High Demand

House Sitting

Stay overnight at the owner's home while they're away. Cats get full-time company in their own space.

What we look for in a cat sitter

Cat sitting is quieter than dog sitting — but it still requires someone attentive and responsible.

  • You love cats and understand their behaviour and body language
  • You're reliable and stick to the agreed schedule — cats depend on routine
  • You're comfortable handling litter boxes, feeding, and basic medication
  • You communicate with owners and send regular photo updates
  • You're calm and patient — some cats take time to warm up to new people
"I cat-sit for about 6 different families now. The best part is that the cats actually remember me — they come running when I open the door. It doesn't feel like work."

Common questions

Is there demand for cat sitters?

Absolutely. Unlike dogs, cats strongly prefer staying home when their owners travel. That means cat owners specifically look for sitters who can visit them at home. It's one of the fastest-growing services on Petbnb.

What does a typical visit look like?

A drop-in visit usually lasts 30–45 minutes. You feed the cat, provide fresh water, clean the litter box, and spend time playing or giving attention. Most owners also ask you to send a photo so they know their cat is doing well. Some visits include extras like watering plants or bringing in mail.

Do I need experience?

Professional experience isn't required, but you should be comfortable around cats. Having your own cats, volunteering at a shelter, or caring for friends' cats all count. Your profile should describe your experience honestly — cat owners want to know their pet is in good hands.

Can I visit multiple cats in one day?

Yes, many cat sitters visit 3–5 different homes per day, especially for drop-in visits. You plan your own route and schedule. Just make sure you leave enough time for each visit — rushing through them isn't fair to the cat or the owner.
