Turn Your Love of Cats Into Meaningful Work
Do you genuinely love cats and enjoy getting to know their individual personalities? Are you dependable, attentive, and comfortable taking responsibility for someone’s feline family members while they are away?
You may be a great fit for Cool Cats Professional Cat Sitting.
Our Cat Sitting Specialists are an important part of the personalized in-home care we provide. They spend time with cats in their familiar surroundings, follow client care instructions, and help cat parents feel more comfortable knowing their cats are receiving attentive care while they cannot be there themselves.
If professional cat sitting sounds like work you would enjoy, we invite you to learn more about what we value in the people who join the Cool Cats team.
CAT SITTING
What We Look for in Cat Sitting Specialists
Loving cats is essential, but professional cat sitting also requires responsibility.
Our clients trust us with their cats and their homes. That means we look for people who understand the importance of reliability, communication, good judgment, and careful attention to instructions.
Our Cat Sitting Specialists go through a screening and vetting process. We look for strong references, a clean background check, cat care experience, reliability, good character, and, most importantly, a genuine love of cats.
We want people who recognize that every cat is different.
Some cats may happily greet you and ask for immediate attention. Others may stay at a distance until they feel comfortable. A good Cat Sitting Specialist respects those differences instead of expecting every feline client to behave the same way.
More Than Feeding and Litter Boxes
Professional cat sitting involves more than putting food in a bowl.
Our clients may have cats with different routines, personalities, ages, and care needs. Some households have one cat, while others have several. Some cats enjoy play and companionship, while others prefer quiet attention and personal space.
Cool Cats also provides services beyond traditional cat sitting, including Medication Administration, Litter Box Cleaning & Sanitizing, and Medication-Only Visits.
Our broader concierge offerings include Plant Watering, Key Pick-Up & Drop-Off, Package Delivery, Shopping, Pharmacy Pick-Up, Home Waiting, Dry Cleaning Pick-Up, Vacuum Service, and Pet Taxi.
The breadth of our services means team members may be part of a company that helps clients with a wide variety of cat care and household needs.
Training Before Your First Solo Assignment
We want new Cat Sitting Specialists to understand how Cool Cats approaches professional care.
New sitters complete orientation and shadowing before receiving their first solo assignment. This provides an opportunity to become familiar with client directives and the responsibilities involved in providing care through Cool Cats.
Our existing team includes people with a wide range of backgrounds and experiences.
Some have worked in veterinary environments or completed veterinary assistant training. Others bring experience from animal rescue, fostering, shelters, wildlife work, nursing, animal training, or decades of caring for their own cats and other animals.
Different backgrounds can bring valuable perspectives, but our team shares an appreciation for animals and a commitment to responsible care.
COOL CATS
Who May Be a Good Fit for Cool Cats?
A Cool Cats Cat Sitting Specialist should understand that caring for someone else’s cat is a position of trust.
You may be a strong fit if you:
- Genuinely enjoy spending time with cats
- Understand that cats have different personalities and boundaries
- Take instructions and responsibilities seriously
- Value reliability and clear communication
- Pay attention to details
- Are comfortable working independently during assigned visits
- Respect clients’ homes and privacy
- Are willing to complete our screening and vetting process
- Are willing to participate in onboarding and learn what are clients expect before solo assignments
Previous animal-care experience can be valuable, but a professional attitude and genuine respect for cats are equally important to the type of service we provide.
Be Part of a Team That Understands Cats
Cool Cats is a team-run professional cat sitting company.
Behind each visit is a wider group of Cat Sitting Specialists and operational support working to provide a smooth experience for clients and their pets.
Our team members understand firsthand how important cats become to their families. Many are cat parents themselves, and several have extensive experience caring for animals with different personalities and needs.
That shared understanding helps shape the way we approach in-home cat care.
We are not looking for people who simply tolerate cats. We value team members who appreciate their independence, quirks, routines, and unique personalities.
