When planning time away from home, one of the most important decisions for any cat owner is how often a sitter should visit. The answer depends on your cat’s routine, age, personality, and health. At Cats & Kittens Sitter, we tailor our visits to suit every cat’s unique needs.

Daily Visits Are Essential

Most cats should be checked on at least once a day. This ensures they have fresh food and water, and a clean litter tray. Most importantly, there is someone to check on their health and well-being. Cats are independent, but they can still get lonely, stressed, or sick and issues can escalate quickly if left unnoticed.

Twice Daily Visits for Social or Vulnerable Cats

If your cat is particularly social, elderly, a kitten, or requires medication, we recommend two visits per day. These cats benefit from more frequent contact to maintain their routine. Like receiving medication at the right time, or the emotional reassurance they need while you’re away.

Visit Duration Matters Too

Can You Do More Than Two Visits?

Yes, we can offer up to three visits per day if needed, depending on your location and our availability. In rare or exceptional circumstances we may be able to offer four visits per day, but this is subject to discussion and scheduling.

Tailored to Your Cat’s Routine

Every cat is different. Some prefer short, calm visits. Others enjoy extended play and cuddles. We take your cat’s feeding routine, medication schedule, and personality into account when planning our care. That’s why it is important when enquiring, to share details about their feeding routine, behaviour, and any special requirements. This way we can make sure the visit plan you’ve chosen suits their needs perfectly.
