A DAY IN THE LIFE AS A CAT CARE SPECIALIST

As a Cat Care Specialist, you meet with each client and cat in person beforehand at their home. Your warm smile and kind demeanor make a memorable impression. You take pride in your work and are always professional in all your interactions. Your great work leads to positive word of mouth as well as a great feeling of self-reward.

At each scheduled pet sitting visit, you reference the instructions given by your client and perform the prescribed care with attention to detail according to what your client has outlined. Typical tasks include feeding, cleaning bowls, refilling water bowls, cleaning litter boxes and/or any accidents, administering medications, and providing daily updates to clients. You spend time socializing with the cats as if they were your own, finding creative ways to engage and comfort them. You also typically perform light housesitting tasks as contracted such as performing a home security check, retrieving mail and packages, putting out or retrieving trash bins, and watering plants.

WHAT TRAITS WE LOOK FOR IN A CAT CARE SPECIALIST

• At least 18 years old
• Proven experience caring for cats (professional experience NOT required)
• Possess a smartphone that has internet access to download apps as well as texting and camera capabilities
• Ability to pass a criminal background screening and reference check

Our highest peak times are the winter holidays and so we are strongly looking for someone who is available for all of these holidays

Certification in pet first aid/CPR or any experience with administering oral medications, injections, subcutaneous fluids, ointments, and other medications is a big Plus but not required! Can you handle unexpected and emergency situations with confidence? Are you organized, systematic, and would be able to keep track of schedules and keys? Do you project calm energy? If so, you might just be perfect for this self-employed pet sitting position.

FLEXIBLE PET SITTING WORK

This is a great flexible side job! Since it is a self-employed opportunity, it is great for those with unconventional availability and part time students or workers. While we need you to be reliable, there is flexibility within time frames. Your clients choose from 4 time frames for their visits. These include morning (6-12pm), afternoon (12-5pm), evening (5-10pm), anytime (6 am - 10 pm) or overnight visits (10 hour stay in the home). We match you to clients who choose shifts that fit your availability. And, then you just need to come within those times, trying to keep it close to the same time each day for the sake of the cats who crave consistency.
