A Cat Sitting Staycation Made Just for Cats
We want every cat to enjoy their cat sitting staycation. Whether they’re outgoing or shy, we always work toward the same goal—helping them feel safe and happy.
Some cats understand right away that we’re there to serve them, and make the most of our visits. Others need time, gentle patience, and space before they’re ready to connect.
Cats Take Their Time and So Do We
For both shy and social cats, we find that a minimum of 40 minutes is needed for cat sitting visits. The standard pet sitting 30 minute visit was designed around dogs’ routines—but cats need more time to warm up to new friends.
Extra attention goes a long way to lower stress and promote feelings of security and satisfaction for your cat family while you are away. We always work towards the goal of connection and trust.
- Shy cats often peek out or approach just around the 30-minute mark. With a longer visit, we’re able to stay and reward that bravery and help them feel like visits are something to look forward to.
- Social cats benefit too—extra time for interaction helps them feel like they have received enough attention. After a full schedule of wand toy play, kibble hockey and treat hunts, they’re ready to wind down with some snuggle time with their sitter.
The Benefits of Cat Sitting Connections
Taking the time to get to know and nurture a connection with your cat family during their staycation brings important benefits—for your cats and for your peace of mind:
Noticing the Little Things: Spending time with your cats helps us learn what’s normal for them. If something changes, whether it’s appetite, litter box habits, energy level, or behaviour, we let you know right away.
Emotional & Physical Well-Being: Play, enrichment, and companionship support your cat family’s overall health while you’re away. Regular interaction helps reduce stress and boredom, especially on longer absences.
Positive Socialization: Interacting with our team of cat sitters is like having an extended family for your cats, helping them become more comfortable, social, and adaptable.
Medical support: When your cats trust us, they’re more comfortable receiving medication or help getting to the vet. So they get the care they need, without the stress.
