Planet Cat Sitting
HOW MANY VISITS PER DAY DO YOU PROVIDE?

I provide twice daily visits for the health and safety of your cats. Feline behaviorists recommend a 2 visit minimum, alternatively house sitting is the gold standard. Cats miss their people when they go away, but they do well with 2 visits. This allows enough time for feeding, litter care, playtime and meaningful companionship for your cat. 

what is the fee per visit?

Each cat sitting visit is at least one hour long and $28.

What is included in a daily cat sitting visit in Novato?

A typical one‑hour cat sitting visit includes fresh food and water, litter box scooping and maintenance, playtime and enrichment, hangout time (very important), medication administration (if needed), a visual health and behavior check, and a detailed visit report with photos. I can also bring in mail or packages, water plants, and perform a basic home check upon request. Most cats become more comfortable & confident as the visits progress and this is always my goal.

Which areas do you serve for cat sitting?

I provide in‑home cat sitting visits in Novato, CA, & Marinwood. I do NOT provide overnight house sitting.

Are you insured and bonded?

Yes. Planet Dog Walking & Cat Sitting is fully insured and bonded, giving you peace of mind that your cat(s) and home are protected while you’re away.

Can you care for shy, senior, or special‑needs cats?

Absolutely. I have extensive experience with shy, senior, and special‑needs cats and adjust my approach based on your cat’s personality and health. I can administer medications, such as pills, eye ointment and liquid oral. I do NOT provide injections or fluids.

How do your GPS‑tracked visits and report cards work?

Each visit is GPS‑tracked, and you receive a detailed visit report with notes, photos, and timing information. This lets you see exactly when I arrived, what I did, and how your cat is doing.

Why is in‑home cat sitting better than a cattery for most cats?

Most cats are happiest staying in their own homes with familiar sights, smells, food areas and litter box set ups. Your home is scent soaked from the humans and cat(s) who live there and is very comforting. In‑home cat sitting avoids stressful car rides and unfamiliar environments, reduces exposure to illness, keeps your cat on their normal routine, and provides one‑on‑one attention.
Catteries are rife with pathogens from other cats and many cats come home with illnesses from stress, pathogens or a combination of both.

How do we get started with cat sitting services?

Complete the contact form, then we’ll have a phone conversation followed by a complimentary meet‑and‑greet in your home. This visit lets me learn your cat’s routine, personality, and preferences, review keys or access instructions, and answer any questions so you feel completely comfortable. This meeting allows your cats to hear my voice, pick up my scent and meet me if they like. 

Can you also look after my home while I’m away?

Yes. During cat sitting visits, I can bring in mail and packages, water plants, and perform a basic home check to help your home look like you’re not away.

What types of trips is daily cat sitting good for?

Daily cat sitting is ideal whether you’re traveling for work, going on vacation, or just need extra support with your cat’s care. Visits are tailored to your schedule and your cat’s specific needs.
