Cat Sitter

Since 2023, Kittytropolis Cat Sitting Specialists has been the Northshore's premiere cat care provider. We are looking for cat sitters to join our team. Put your skills with animals to work in a supportive, culture-forward company that cares about you.

We are committed to delivering the highest standards of premier in-their-home cat care, which means we need amazing folks for Team Kittytropolis! We care for the most awesome, hilarious, and fantastic cats on the Northshore, right in the pet’s home. We do exceptional work for our exceptional clients!

Duties include:

• Traveling to a client's home to perform pet care-related tasks.
• Feeding, caring for, cleaning up after, and administering medications for cats of all kinds, ages, and breeds.
• Scoop, clean, and maintain litter boxes.
• Spend quality time with cats, engaging in play and affection based on their comfort levels.
• Monitor the cats’ health and behavior, reporting any concerns to the client.
• Perform basic housekeeping tasks such as cleaning up after feedings and disposing of litter waste.
• Provide regular updates to clients, including photos and written reports after each visit.
• Maintain professionalism and respect clients’ homes and privacy.
• We service Mandeville, Covington, Madisonville and Abita Springs.

We’re looking for someone who:​​​

• Has professional or volunteer experience with pets, but especially has experience reading cat body language and cat behavior outside of owning their own pet.
• Must be interested and able to "deep dive" to learn more. Experience working around a variety of pets and personality types preferred.
• If you are interested in weekday cat care, we would prefer someone consistently available Monday to Friday from 9am to 2pm.
• If you are interested in weekend cat sitting, we would prefer someone consistently available on Saturday and Sunday.
• Attitude is more important than aptitude. So, if you are willing to learn, we are willing to train.
• This is an active, independent role, that requires a lot of driving. If you are comfortable and enjoy that working environment, you can thrive here.
• Has impeccable attention to—and the ability to recall—details. To check your dedication to detail, put the word impeccable within your application so we know you didn’t miss this part!
• Wants to provide a 5-star customer service experience. Candidates should excel in written and verbal communication.
• We want to add more team players to our team environment. We help each other by ensuring safe, on-time pet care visits. People who can keep animals healthy and happy are encouraged to apply.

We offer: $12-15 / hour (depending upon experience, bonuses, and gratuity)

• This job is designed to be part-time; most staff will work 5-15 hours per week.
• Paid training continuing education opportunities.
• Additional responsibilities for the right applicant.
• Really awesome clients that are vetted by Kittytropolis Management.

Kittytropolis Cat Sitting Specialists provides equal employment opportunities to all employees and applicants for employment. We are committed to creating and maintaining an impeccable workplace in which all employees have an opportunity to participate and contribute to the success of the business and are valued for their skills, experience, and unique perspectives. We are committed to making a workplace that does this every day. We believe people should be able to show up to work as the truest version of themselves and be welcomed – unless you are a jerk, judgmental, enjoy drama, or are a nincompoop, in which case you need not apply because we don’t have time for that.
