Professional Cat Sitter – A Purrfectly Flexible Opportunity!

Do you love cats? Are you great at customer service and have a flexible schedule? Do you dream of turning your passion for felines into a rewarding job? If so, The Comforted Kitty is looking to contract immediately with a self‑employed Cat Sitter in the San Francisco area.

Flexibility

You set your own hours, service area, and when you want to work. Get paid to take care of adorable cats – a dream for anyone who loves whiskers, purrs, and paws!

The Perks

• Competitive Pay – Make money doing what you love!
• Bonuses & Holiday Pay – Receive bonus pay for working on holidays, accepting short‑notice requests, client referrals, positive feedback by your clients, and more. Many clients give generous gratuities which are 100% paid to the sitter.
• Flexibility – Depending on your location and availability, you can work as much as you'd like, with peak demand during holidays and summer.
• Community – Join a group chat with hundreds of other self‑employed pet care providers nationwide.

A Day in the Life of a Cat Sitter

Cat Sitters visit cats in client's homes for drop‑in visits (30, 45, or 60 minutes) once or twice daily, or for 10‑hour overnight stays. Before your first sitting visit, you'll meet each client and their cat in person for a meet and greet, go over the whole care routine, and discuss contingency plans for emergencies. At the sittings, you'll precisely follow the directions the client has given for the cat and home care, socialize with the cat, leave the home spotless, and delight the client by sending a daily visit update through our pet‑sitting app.

Responsibilities

• Meet & Greet: Learn about the client's needs and routines.
• Cat Care: Follow detailed instructions – feeding, water, bowl cleaning, litter scooping, administering meds if needed.
• Happy Hours: Spend quality time with each cat, offering love, cuddles, or play based on personality.
• Light Housekeeping: Water plants, collect mail, take out trash.
• Daily Updates: Keep owners informed with updates and photos through the app.

What We're Looking For

Essential Traits

• At least 18 years old
• Experience caring for cats (professional experience is a plus but NOT required)
• A smartphone with internet access, texting, and camera capabilities
• Ability to pass a criminal background check and provide references

Desirable Extras

• Certification in pet first aid/CPR or experience administering oral meds, injections or fluids
• Calm, reliable, and organized personality
• Availability during peak times, especially winter holidays

Why This Job is the Cat's Meow

This is a flexible, self‑employed role (not a W2 employee) perfect for part‑timers, those with unconventional schedules, or anyone looking for a fulfilling side hustle. Choose your shifts: Drop‑in visits 30–60 minutes, overnight stays, or 24‑hour live‑in house sitting. We'll match you with clients based on your availability. While we need reliability, the schedule is flexible within the chosen timeframes.
