Cat Sitting Job
Cat Care Specialist – Requirements to Be a Cat Sitter
- First, and most important. Please understand we are caring for living beings.
- Not all clients will always book with notice. For that reason, your schedule for the week could change on a daily basis.
- You will need a clean driving record with no DUI’s, multiple speeding violations or other safety-related violations.
- Understand that working evenings, weekends, and holidays (including Memorial Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year’s Day and the days before and after) come with the job.
- For obvious reasons, a true LOVE for cats is this job’s greatest asset. That means loving and understanding cats, and knowing how to approach them.
- You must be able to pass a background/criminal check. Our clients will be trusting you with their cats as well as their homes. (We do not check our sitter’s credit history.)
- You should be a responsible individual, have common sense, and can work largely unsupervised.
**IF YOU HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH INSULIN INJECTIONS AND SUBQ FLUIDS OR ARE WILLING TO LEARN, THIS IS A PLUS!!**
