Cat Sitting
Personalized Care for your Feline Friend in Palo Alto, Mountain View, Los Altos/Los Altos Hills, Saratoga, Cupertino, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, Campbell, and Los Gatos, CA
Cats can sometimes come off as being independent and self-sufficient. But they look to their humans for not only food, but love, comfort and companionship as well. So when you’re away – whether it’s for a week or a day – it can create stress and boredom for your feline friend.
With our expert cat sitting services, we’ll make sure your kitty has everything she needs to be healthy and happy while you’re gone. Our services are tailored to accommodate your cat’s personality, quirks and needs. So whether your kitty craves extra playtime, lives for lots of affection or just wants to be left alone, you can rest assured that we’ll pamper your pet just like you would.
Depending on your needs, our services can include:
- Feeding meals/refilling water bowls
- Administering medication
- Cleaning the litter box
- Playtime
- Overnight stays
- Turning lights on and off
- Watering the plants
- Bringing in the mail
- Lots of love, affection and attention
Benefits of In-Home Cat Sitting
Cats are highly territorial. They enjoy surveying their territory, look forward to their daily routines, and feel most at ease in predictable surroundings. Cats are also highly discerning. They crave fresh water and meals, delight in tidy spaces, and choose their interactions wisely.
Our professional cat sitters are well-versed in feline behavior. They know how to properly approach a cat, can recognize signs of stress or illness, and are prepared to respond to a feline-specific emergency. Because cats are not small dogs, we honor the nature of the cats in our care, meeting their needs while responding to their unique cues. Social kitties get the pets they desire, while more reserved cats receive respectful interactions that keep them feeling safe in our presence.
Skip pick-ups and drop-offs, avoid exposure to unfamiliar animals and illnesses, and save your feline best friend from the inevitable stress that comes with boarding.
There truly is no place like home for our feline creatures of habit, and we’re happy to help them thrive at home while you’re away!

“I love traveling, birding, and nature photography. Retirement has freed me to travel as much as I want. I wouldn’t feel as free in doing this if I didn’t have you to help look after my cat and home”
