Frequently Asked Questions
Hiring a Cat Carer
Frequently asked questions about hiring someone to look after your cat. Having a cat minder can be a great way to ensure your pet is well-cared for in your absence. By preparing, you can find a trustworthy carer and enjoy peace of mind.
Why should I hire a cat care provider?
Hiring a cat caregiver ensures your cat receives personalised care in the comfort of its own home, reducing stress and maintaining routines.
What services do cat caregivers typically provide?
Services usually include feeding, providing fresh water, cleaning litter boxes, administering medication if needed, and spending time with your cat for play and companionship.
How often should a cat carer visit?
This depends on your cat’s needs, but typically, once or twice a day visits are common.
What information should I provide to the cat carer?
Provide feeding schedules, medication instructions, vet contact info, your contact info and any specific care instructions.
What should I look for in a cat minder?
Look for someone with experience, good references, insurance, and a clear love for animals. It’s also important they have a background check.
Walks & Whiskers have all these! Experience, good references, insurance and are DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) checked… not forgetting the amount of love and devotion we have towards our furry friends.
Do you provide overnight stays or services?
I’m unable to stay in your home overnight while you are away as our services are limited to daytime care and visits. This policy ensures I can provide quality pet care to all my clients while maintaining a schedule.
Walks & Whiskers provide ‘pop-in’ services, designed for regular cat care at frequent intervals throughout the day.
How should I prepare my home for a pop-in visit?
Ensure all cat supplies (food, litter, toys) are easily accessible. Leave clear instructions and emergency contact information.
What should I do if the cat carer has an emergency?
Ensure the caregiver has a list of emergency contacts, including a neighbour or nearby friend, and provide instructions for emergency veterinary care.
Where can I put my cat when I go on holiday?
There are many different options such as a cattery, cat boarding or having a cat sitter stay in your home. However, this means your pet will be going into an unfamiliar environment. We believe by having someone visit your home in their environment to care for your cat is the best way for your cat to get the care it will require in the least stressful way.
