Planning a holiday or work trip often comes with the tricky question: What’s the best option for my cat while I’m away? For many people, the word “cattery” springs to mind. But while catteries may seem convenient, they can be deeply unsettling for cats—and stressful for their humans, too.
Losing a cat is every owner’s nightmare. As a cat sitter, it’s also one of the most stressful experiences I can face. While I do everything I can to keep cats safe and happy in their home environment, the unexpected can sometimes happen.
Being a professional cat sitter is a fulfilling, busy, and rewarding career. While many people imagine it’s all about playing, cuddling, and feeding cats, the reality is far more nuanced. It’s a role that requires not only a deep love for animals but also an understanding of their needs, business skills, and the ability to build trust with their human owners.
