1. Feeding, watering, and litter box cleaning are important, but cats are naturally active and need playtime. Physical and mental stimulation come with playtime. Adjust the level of play to the cat’s physical ability, age and health. Do avoid rough play as not all cats like that. Get the clients’ approval for any toys you use during playtime.
2. Grooming is equally important for cats as it is for dogs. Regular grooming help cats stay looking and feeling good. Grooming also helps get your cat feel comfortable. Grooming, conditions a cat’s skin. It prevents mats and controls hairballs. It is a great bonding time for you and your cat clients. You might want to “brush” up on tooth cleaning as well as keeping your client’s cat’s eyes and ears clean. Do get permission from the owner, however to take on these extra duties. Litter box cleaning is very important. A clean litter box equals a happy cat. Clean their box, keep litter swept up from around the box.
3. Cat sitting can be highly relaxing. Cat sitting offers a nice break from dog walks. Pet sitters agree that if you take care of a finicky or shy cat and it warms up to you; you are a great sitter. Some cats may take a day or two to warm up to you, however, the reward is well worth it. Cats are a treasure and love to be loved as much as dogs do.
Having your cat taken care of in the comfort of their own home will give you a peace of mind that your cat is being taken care of by a professional and in familiar surroundings.
