Cat Care Elevated: Professional Cat Sitting in St. Petersburg, Florida
Cats don't just need someone to show up — they need someone fluent in the quiet language of cat behavior: the flick of a tail, the position of the ears, the difference between tolerated and truly at ease. That fluency comes from nearly 24 years of paying close attention.
Our approach is rooted in veterinary training and a Fear Free philosophy, helping anxious cats feel as safe and comfortable as possible in our care. Cats deserve more than the bare minimum. Each visit includes a little enrichment too — a favorite toy, a special treat, quiet companionship, or simply being given the space to feel secure.
We visit at least once daily, and each visit includes:
-
Fresh food and water
-
Litter box scooping
-
A little enrichment — playtime, a favorite toy, or quiet companionship
-
Mail, packages, and deliveries brought inside
-
Rotating lights and blinds for a lived-in look
-
GPS-tracked visit with a detailed report and photos
30-Minute Visit — $40*
A focused, attentive visit for cats who are comfortable with a shorter check-in. Fresh food and water, litter box scooping, a visual wellness check, and genuine one-on-one attention. Each cat sitter on our team is trained in a Fear Free approach and taught to watch for the small details that matter.
The 30 min visit covers up to 3 cats. For 4 or more cats, see our 60-Minute Visit.
60-Minute Visit — $70*
Extended, unhurried time for social cats, multi-cat households, or families who want their cats to receive more companionship and enrichment.
Beyond the essentials, this visit includes play, brushing, and quiet companionship — the kind of unhurried time cats thrive on. It's the same attentive standard our team brings to every visit, just with more room to enjoy it.
Includes up to 6 cats, with a $5 charge per additional cat beyond that.
Medication Add-On: $5
Pills, transdermal medication, ear drops, and topical ointments may be administered during a 30- or 60-minute standard visit when appropriate for the cat and treatment instructions.
Medical Care Visit — 45 Minutes — $70*
Designed for cats requiring injections, subcutaneous fluids, time-sensitive medications, or more involved medical support. Visits are assigned according to the care required, from a trained Pet Care Specialist for routine medication assistance to our Certified Veterinary Technician for advanced procedures. It's veterinary-informed care you won't find at most cat sitting companies, delivered with the same Fear Free approach we bring to every visit.
We have special experience with senior cats and those with complex medical needs, and we bring the same calm, capable approach no matter the complexity of their care.
A 15-minute extension is available for owners who'd like additional interaction time alongside the medical care — $20.
