What is next?

An initial free consultation gives us both an opportunity to get acquainted.  I realise you will be entrusting a stranger into your home and understand, you may have some anxiety or be a little apprehensive about it. I hope this will give us the chance to alleviate all that and get to know your carer more.  I will get the chance to interact with your cat while you are present.   This will also be a time when you can get any questions about cat sitting services answered. The free consultation includes:

• A visit to your home to gain familiarity with your cat and home routine.  Essential if your cat is to be sat at your home
• Discussion and completion of House and Cat Information Sheet.
• Discussion and completion Pet Service Agreement.
• Discussion and completion of vet release form.

Preparing for your pet sitter

Preparation can make a big difference in how smoothly things go for your pet when the pet sitter comes to visit. Here are some tips:

• Make sure the cat sitter has a phone number where you can be reached (This should appear on the pet sitting service agreement form)

• If you have new keys made, try them out to make sure they work.

• Provide extra food, litter and other supplies just in case you're not able to return when planned.

• Adjust the thermostat to keep the house comfortable for the pet during your absence. In warm weather, a closed-up house can get dangerously hot in a short time.

• Leave a list of phone numbers in case the pet sitter needs to contact service or maintenance companies while you are away; i.e., plumber, electrician, cleaning service etc

• Tell the cat sitter of any household areas that are off-limits to your pets or to the pet sitter. Secure access to those areas before leaving home.
