Cat Sitters Los Angeles with a few Cat Sitting Tips…

Most cats are pretty self-sufficient. It is a part of why we love them. But, for the most part, our pets can’t fend for themselves if we go away for a weekend. Some of us have significant others, or parents, that are familiar with our animals and are available for all our pet sitting needs. However, there are some tips that may be helpful for new pet sitters, or pet sitters who are just new to you.

Cat Sitting basics for Cat Sitting
Of course, the basics come first. Cat sitters might not be cat owners. Also, every cat and owner team is different. The first detail to decide is where the cat(s) will stay. Our furry friends can be extremely particular and get upset when their world is suddenly different. On the other hand, you might not want to give the keys to your house over to someone. Where your cat(s) stay will have to be suited for all parties involved, even those parties in fur coats. Some of the basics (that differ based on pets/owners) include:

• Food (where, how often, how much)

• Where the toys/nail clippers/treats/emergency numbers are

• Any special needs (pills/no treats/no “people food”/etc.)

• How often you want the water changed

• How often you want the litter scooped

The owner factor when cat sitting
Every pet owner is unique. There are some steps you can take to make the situation smoother for you and for your sitter. Aside from asking what experience your sitter has, you may give him/her a head’s up as to how often you want updates. You probably won’t need a three page email that details every single breath while you’re gone. But, once in a while, it’s nice to hear everything is okay at home. How often depends on the owner’s personality, as well as the length of their absence. Then there the facts only you could know. Each animal has a personality all their own. This is, unanimously, the most important topic of discussion to have with someone who isn’t used to spending every minute with your cat.

Temperaments
Is your cat an affection junkie? Do they need someone to play with them so they don’t destroy the house? Molly G. says about her pets: “My kitties are so self-sufficient, and tend to hide from anyone they don't know, that a cat sitter would pretty much be feeding, watering, and litter-cleaning for them without necessarily seeing them.” Yet, she watched a pair of cats recently who were gluttons for human attention. It’s important for your sitter to know their “normal” behavior. Changes in their personalities can be a sign that something is wrong, or that they miss their owners.

As much as we adore our feline friends, some of them have bad habits. Tell your cat sitter if your cat does any of the following.

• Bites

• Scratches

• Destroys paper products

• Chews wires

• Is prone to hairballs or diarrhea

• Steals food/drink left unattended

If you prepare your pet sitter for what might happen, you are much less likely to receive a panicked phone call when your beloved Fluffy destroys the sitter’s 12-page term paper. The best way to explain your cat’s quirks is through anecdotes. If it’s possible, arrange for the cat to meet your potential sitter.

In the end
These are just some suggestions to ensure your peace of mind when you’re away from home. While most of us have someone we trust our furry children with, it’s always good to have a few options. Despite the cat’s natural independent nature, there is more to caring for them than just food, water, and poop scooping.
