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 Boise-Nampa metro area.

The position is very flexible: 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 

Here’s what’s in it for you:

• Make money doing what you love! 

• 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.

• Depending on your location and availability, you can work as much as you’d like, with peak demand during holidays and summer.

Community 

• It's not just about the work. Have access to a groupchat network of hundreds of other self-employed pet care providers across the country who you can ask questions or advice about cat care, health and behavior as well as community resources for fostering or adopting cats (and dogs) in need of homes.

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 in their home.

Here’s what to expect: 

Meet & Greet: Meet your feline clients (and their humans) at home to learn about their needs and routines.

Cat Care Done Right: Follow detailed instructions for feeding, refreshing water, cleaning bowls, scooping litter, and administering medications if needed.

Happy Hours: Spend quality time with each cat, offering love, cuddles, or playtime based on their unique personality.

Light Housekeeping: Complete small tasks like watering plants, collecting mail, and taking out trash.

Daily Updates: Keep owners in the loop with charming updates and photos that showcase their furry friend’s antics. We have a market-leading app to help you stay connected.

What We’re Looking For

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

• Certification in pet first aid/CPR or experience administering oral meds is a plus.
• 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 that’s perfect for part-timers, workers with unconventional schedules, or anyone looking for a fulfilling side hustle.
