Frequently asked questions.
What is your coverage area?
Our base area includes all of North Chattanooga, Red Bank, Hixson & Middle Valley. We do care for cats outside this area but for a slightly higher fee.
How much does it cost?
Our basic rates are $25/day for one visit or $45/day for two visits. Visits outside our base area cost slightly more, depending on location. You can always contact us for a free quote. If you have more than 10 cats, we may charge a little more, depending on their feeding and medication needs. Again, we'll happily give you a free quote.
What do you do when you visit?
At a minimum, we make sure each cat is safe and accounted for, with fresh food, clean water, and a tidy litterbox. We aim to get a good look at every cat during each visit, but we understand that a few extra-shy hiders prefer to stay out of sight—and for those cats, trying to coax them out can be more stressful than helpful. In those cases, we respect their boundaries and look for other signs that they’re okay. We also provide care notes detailing each cat’s behavior, appetite, and overall demeanor—these can be left in your home or sent by text or email. If your cat enjoys lap time, play, scratches, or treats, we’re happy to indulge. We also handle basic home care like bringing in mail and packages, and rotating lights to help your home look lived in. If medication is part of your cat's routine, we’ll administer it.
Do you dog sit?
Of course, we sit for dogs and quite enjoy them. Some of our best friends are dogs. But we are cat specialists and, as such, focus more on felines than canines.
How can I pay you?
We accept cash, check, PayPal or Venmo.
How do we get started?
Call us, and we'll make an appointment to meet you and your cats. If you have any questions, please ask us then. Then, you can decide if we're the right catsitter for you. When we meet you and your cats, see their needs and routine, and learn your travel dates, we'll also ask about cat carriers and your vet, just in case of emergency. We will also get a house key and your contact information while you're traveling.
Do you have any discounts?
We do offer a referral discount. Any time you refer a new client who uses our services, you will receive a free day of cat sitting for your cats.
