Quality Time Cat Care

01/11/2025

I recently had an inquiry about cat care services, and I sure appreciate being considered for tending to your feline dears if in James Bay. I provide references and come to your home to meet you and your dear(s) so you know for certain that Quality Time Cat Care is the service for you. $30 per visit which includes washing and refilling food/water bowls, cleaning litter leavings, and spending time in play, snuggle, or just quiet company - whatever the cat(s) prefer. This pair is my own Connie, rescued from the streets of California and her unexpected daughter Roberta - happy, active girls that I love to pieces - just like I love all cats. 😺

Pet Sitter Selection Tips!! Make sure you have a pet sitter that is so good to your pets that you are coming home to a pet who is happy to see you while also being happy during the time you were away! This information taken from the BC SPCA suggestions and adapted to cat carers in particular.

Choosing a Pet Sitter: take these steps to help find the right pet sitter:
1. Decide which arrangement will work best for you and your pet (sitter staying in your home, daily visits to your home, or your pet going to the sitter’s home).
2. Ask reliable sources like your vet or experienced pet owner for recommendations.
3. Review the pet sitter’s information they provide to you, or have on a website, to confirm the specialized training or certifications they hold, their experience and how long they have been caring for pets.
4. Set up an interview with them so you can ask the right questions and your pet can meet the sitter.

Questions to Ask A Potential Pet Sitter

1. How do you introduce yourself to a pet you are meeting for the first time?
2. How do you interact with the pet and encourage them to interact with you if they are shy or hesitant?
3. What training and experience have you had to understand the pet’s body language, preferences and well-being?
4. What steps do you take when there is an emergency with the pet, including a health emergency?
5. What is the length of your visit with the pet?
6. What medications are you comfortable and capable of giving to a pet?
7. What updates and photos do you provide to owners while you are caring for their pet?
