What are cat sitters?
Cat sitters are individuals who provide care for cats while their owners are away. Their responsibilities typically include feeding, cleaning litter boxes, providing fresh water, administering medications if needed, and offering companionship and playtime to ensure the cat's well-being. Cat sitters may visit the owner's home once or multiple times a day, or sometimes stay overnight. Hiring a cat sitter can reduce stress for cats by allowing them to remain in their familiar environment and receive personalized attention. Many cat sitters also provide updates and photos to keep owners informed about their pet's status.
