What do cat care services include?

Cat care services include all the tasks and activities that can ensure that your cat is well taken care of when you have to be away from home and can’t bring along your precious pet. The service consists of cat grooming, cat boarding, cat sitting, and cat training. You can avail of these services in any combination you need.  

Cat boarding

Cat boarding is a purrfect service you can use when you expect to be away from home for days at a time. This is a better alternative to leaving your cat completely alone at home, and you don’t have anyone to check in on them and feed them regularly. Your cat care specialist can take in your favourite feline and ensure that their daily needs are met, such as giving them clean and warm beddings, provide them with their own litter box, food, play and exercise.  

Cat grooming

Cat care specialists can attend to your cat’s grooming needs. They can trim their overgrown nails, cut overgrown and matted patches of fur, and comb them. Your cat care specialist may bathe your cat if necessary or if you ask them to do so. The cat is bathed while they are gently restrained with a cat harness, and warm water from a non-spray hose is used to avoid stressing or traumatising your precious kitty.  

A gentle cat shampoo is applied then rinsed off, then your cat care specialist uses several soft towels to dry them. Some specialists may use a hairdryer on the lowest setting to avoid stressing them. They may also use combs to keep their fur from bunching up and help in drying your cat’s coat.  

Cat sitting

If you prefer not to board your cat, cat care specialists can go to your home to keep your cat company and feed them while you’re away. You can also drop them off at the cat specialist’s location, and they can look after your cat - you can choose which arrangement is more convenient for you. Cat care specialists can look after them on the days you schedule and for a specified length of time. 

Cat care specialists can clean and refill their water and food dishes, change their kitty litter, and take some time to play with them using their favourite toys. Your hired specialist can feed your cat with any particular food if they’re on a strict diet, and apply any medication as necessary if your kitty is an elderly cat.     

Cat training

Your cat care specialist can train your cat to do a variety of tricks like learn how to use the toilet. Some cat care specialists may be able to teach them to do simple tricks like how to shake hands, respond when their name is called, or even “beg” for food. The training that your cat care specialist may offer can vary, so discuss what you’d like your cat to learn and what they can train your cat to do.

Cat Sitter from 1 July - At your home - 14yr old adopted puss

Melbourne VIC, Australia

29th Jun 2024

Due to family medical emergency, I am looking for a cat sitter to start from 1 July (or as close to that date as possible). It is likely to be 2 weeks but could extend depending on the medical situation. I would need to bring him mid afternoon. I will provide all necessary items - bedding, food, bowls, snacks, toy, litter tray & litter, etc, plus leave additional funds for top ups. His personality and needs: * Doesn't really like being picked up but will tolerate it for between 10-30 seconds :) * He's not a lap cat but if he's comfortable with you, he may snuggle up next to you on the couch or bed * Needs his key meals (wet-food) split into smaller portions spread over an hour - else he will chug it down too fast … and we know what that means! The rest of the day he will graze on biscuits. * Hardly sheds; no grooming required * Gentle but a bit shy with strangers * Being a bit older, he's mostly happy to just sleep most of the day away but sometimes he may get his 'kitten' on and romp with his toy mouse for a few minutes * Can't deal with rowdy children or frantic dogs; may be okay if you have older or very placid other pet * He is a Bengal so he's not little but certainly not huge like a Maine Coon :) House Preferences: * Access to whole house - not just locked permanently in one room * Does like going outdoors so if you have a well contained area that's a bonus ... I can also bring a long lead that could be used to contain him within the boundary Preferred location is within 30km west of Bayswater or 30 km north of Moorabbin or 30km east and south of Melbourne Airport … But the right person is the key :) Please quote back with daily rate and we'll take it from there ... Thank you!

Dates I'm looking for: Twice a day on 8th Jun - 10th Jun Morning only for 11th Jun Visit location: Oakleigh He is inquisitive but takes a bit to warm up to but could be absolutely friendly once he gains faith.

I'm strictly looking for someone who respects and loves a pet as an equal and would be grateful if you can plz help with: - 2x feeds a day Morning and night (wet & dry) - regular litter change - playtime (leave the minutes up to you).

Thanks Yu for agreeing to pet sit my cat and for entertaining and playing with him too. Despite the distance from her house to mine, Yu quite literally went out of her way to help take care of my cat everyday, just because of her love for cats. She gave me regular updates everyday via texts with photos and videos. Overall, she has a friendly and genuine personality.

Post edited. Hi I’m going away for 2 nights and need someone to look after my 3 year old Bengal cat Boris. He’s very playful and demanding so someone who’s willing to pay a lot of attention to him is preferred. He’s a very curious cat so a secure household is preferred also. Close to Melbourne cbd is also preferred but not too much of an issue for the right person. Dates are for 25th April. Drop off evening possibly late arvo till Saturday 27th April. Thanks for reading. Look forward to hearing from you. All food and litter provided.

Laine and Luisa were awesome. Looked after my cat while I was away. And did a great job keeping him happy while his dad was butchering the game of golf for two days. Highly recommended. Thanks guys.
