Does my Cat Really Need a Cat Sitter?
2
Over the years, many people have called and asked
for pet care for their dogs and when we ask if
there are any other pets in the home, people have
replied, we have a cat but you wont have to do
anything for her..
3
A Professional Pet Sitting Company can not and
will not neglect any pets in a home while you are
away.  We will give them all fresh food and water
and check on them to make sure they are okay.

We have been told My cat only needs to have a
visit twice in a weekCats really do need a cat
sitter from a Professional Pet Sitting
company.Minimum level of service for a cat is
every other day and we are not happy with that.
5
Many Pet Sitting Companies will require daily
visits because Too many things can go wrong.We
have seen a cat who was playing got so wrapped up
in a lace tablecloth that he was mummified and
couldnt move by the time we got there.
6
We had a cat somehow got the bathroom door closed
with her locked inside, no food or water but she
did go to the bathroom in the bathtub.
7
We had a cat get his foot stuck in a box spring,
had to have the owners emergency person come and
help us get him unstuck.  He was okay but did
spend in day in the hospital with a swollen leg. 
It was sprained, not broken.
8
The moral of the story, is to please make sure
that your cat has someone caring for
them.Preferable checking on then once a day.  If
cats are sick, they are VERY good at hiding it,
even from you. 
9
In many instances, when the cat is showing
symptoms that we can now notice, if someone isnt
coming every day, it could be serious in 24
hours.  Even that is a long time.
10
Do NOT rely on any mechanical devices - We have
seen automatic feeders malfunctioned more times
than I can count, just give us old fashioned
dishes.
11
Electric litter boxes are known to burn out
motors if one spec of dirt gets on the electric
eye, give us a regular litter box and a good
heavy duty litter scoop ( please no slotted
spoons), and please dont leave water fountains
on, they get slimy, are hard to clean and
sometimes hard to refill, leave two to three
large water bowls, let us know where they are and
we will refill.
12
Due to these unreliable devices, we will not use
them.Here are a few things to consider Your
cat does get lonely, even if she is shy
13
Never rely on electronic feeders, too many of
them have malfunctioned (NEVER use canned food in
these)Free feeding or leaving lots of food out
(leads to obesity, some cats eat it all in the
first day, leaving them hungry for the rest of
your trip)
14
Your cat may become sickYour cat may get
themselves trappedNever leave your cat outside
unsupervised and go away (too many horrible
things could happen)Will you have Peace of Mind

We have heard it all.  Many people state, they
are fine on their own.Please keep your cats safe
while you are away and have them checked on by a
reliable pet care person.  Your cats are worth
it.http//www.profpetsit.com/
