Personalized Care for Your Feline Friend

Cats are quirky and we love that about them. At Stayin’ Home Pet Care, we are all about getting to know you and your cat’s needs and preferences from the beginning.

We offer a fully personalized range of expert in-home cat sitting services in the Austin metro area. Some of the cat sitting services we provide our cat friends everyday: 

  • Feeding routine

  • Fresh water every visit

  • Playtime!

  • Quality one-on-one time with lots of affection. Or we can just leave them alone, if that’s how they roll!

  • Daily litter box cleaning

  • Administering basic meds (sorry, we do not administer meds orally)

While you’re traveling, our professional pet sitters are happy to water your plants*, bring in your mail, and make your home look “lived in”. Please check out our most popular Home Care services, available for an additional fee.

We build your care plan based on how long you’ll be traveling and what your cat needs. Here are our standard price points for cat sitting services:

  • 30-minute visit (1-3 cats) - $36

  • 45-minute visit (4 cats or more) - $41

If you have other pets or special requests that are not listed above, we will do our best to accommodate you.
