FAQs
What services do you provide as a cat sitter?
I offer a range of in-home cat sitting services, including: feeding and providing fresh water, cleaning and maintaining the litter box, playtime and interactive enrichment to keep your cat entertained, administering medication (if needed), and daily updates with photos and/or videos to keep you connected with your cat while you’re away
If your cat has specific needs, I’m happy to customize my services!
How long is each visit?
Each standard visit is 30 minutes. However, I can adjust the visit length based on your cat’s needs. If your cat enjoys extended playtime, companionship, or extra care, longer visits can be arranged.
How many times a day to you visit?
I offer flexible scheduling depending on your cat’s routine. Typically, I visit once or twice a day. Some cats prefer a single daily check-in, while others benefit from more frequent attention. We can discuss the best option based on your cat’s preferences and needs.
Can you take care of my cat’s special medical needs?
Yes, I’m experienced in administering medications, including pills, topical treatments, and even insulin injections for diabetic cats. Please provide detailed instructions and let me know about any special care your cat requires in advance.
Will you send me updates while I’m away?
Absolutely! I know how important it is to stay connected with your pet while you’re gone. I provide daily updates, which can include photos, videos, and a brief summary of how your cat is doing.
Do you care for cats with special needs or senior cats?
Yes, I have experience with senior cats and those with special needs, including cats that are anxious or require more delicate care. I’m patient and gentle, and I work to make sure your cat is comfortable and relaxed.
What areas do you service?
I provide cat sitting services in Waukesha County, Wisconsin, including Waukesha, New Berlin, Brookfield, and Pewaukee. If you’re unsure if I service your area, feel free to contact me to confirm!
Can I schedule a meet-and-greet before booking?
Of course! I recommend a meet-and-greet before your first booking so that I can get to know you and your cat, and you can feel confident in my services. During this visit, I’ll learn about your cat’s routine, habits, and personality to ensure the best care possible.
What happens if there’s an emergency with my cat?
In the unlikely event of an emergency, I’ll contact you immediately. If I’m unable to reach you, I will take your cat to the nearest vet or an emergency clinic, as specified in the care plan we establish prior to your trip. Your cat’s health and safety are my top priority.

What are your rates?
Rates vary based on the frequency and length of visits. My standard rate is $25 per visit, with additional fees for extra services like medication administration or extended playtime. Please contact me for a customized quote.
How do I prepare for your visits?
Before I arrive, please ensure: all necessary supplies (food, litter, medication, etc.) are easily accessible, you have completed the Behavior Questionnaire for your cat(s), and access to your home is arranged (key, security code, etc.).
Do you offer overnight stays?
At this time, I specialize in drop-in visits. We can discuss the possibility of longer, additional, and specially timed visits if your cat requires extra attention.
Do you care for other pets in the home?
While my primary focus is cats, I can care for small pets like fish or hamsters if needed. Let me know about your other pets when we set up the care plan and I’ll do my best to accommodate their needs.

Yes, I’m happy to help with light plant care and bring in mail/packages!
