How to Choose Cat Sitters
Hiring someone to watch your cat while you are away is a difficult task. It is hard to trust a stranger to watch over your feline, but having someone there will certainly help, especially if the cat is alone for over a week. You will need to keep in mind a few things before you hand your cat over to a sitter.
Items Needed:
- Phonebook
- Computer with internet
- Cat food
- Cat toys
- Find local cat sitters. Look online or in a phonebook to find the right cat sitter for you. Try to find one close by so your cat can board at their house or the cat sitter can easily make their way to your home.
- Learn all about the cat sitter in question before you let them watch your cat. Read reviews about the person and if they have a good track record sitting other client's cats. If they have bad quality service your cat might not get the proper care and attention that they deserve. Call the cat sitter and ask questions about what kind of services they will offer for your cat while you’re away. You should also meet them in person beforehand so you can see what type of person they are and if they love doing what they do.
- Buy new toys and plenty of food. If you want to be safe, you should always buy extra food to keep your cat well fed while you’re away. You should also give them a few new toys to play with just in case the sitter doesn’t understand your cat’s personality. Remember to give your cat sitter exact instructions on when your cat should be fed and what your cat does when it yearns for attention.
