- Food and fresh water, cleaning of the litter tray or cage
- Play and company

Frequently asked questions
Is one visit a day enough for a cat?
For a healthy adult cat it often is; for kittens, older cats or cats on medication, two visits are better.
Does the sitter need a key?
Yes, or an agreed way in. You decide the arrangements together before booking.
Can I book visits on certain days only?
Yes: choose the days and the number of visits per day, and the summary calculates the total.
