Cat Sitter Visits at Home: A Cat Boarding Alternative
Cats are happiest at home. With drop-in visits, a verified cat sitter comes to your place while you are away: feeds your cat, refreshes the water, cleans the litter box, plays for a while and sends you a photo update.
How Drop-In Cat Visits Work
Choose a sitter near you and book visits for the days you are away. The sitter comes to your home, looks after your cat following the care plan, and leaves — your cat stays in its own territory. You pay nothing until the sitter accepts the booking.
Why a Cat Sitter Suits Most Cats Better Than Cat Boarding
Cats are attached to their territory, and a move to an unfamiliar place is stressful for most of them. A visit keeps everything in place: the same rooms, the same smells, the same favourite windowsill — only the person who fills the bowl changes for a few days.
What a Cat Sitter Visit Includes
Food and fresh water, a clean litter box, play and attention, and medication if your cat needs it. Write the details into the pet profile once: portions, feeding times, hiding places, what your cat likes and what it does not tolerate. The sitter confirms the plan before the first visit.
A Cat Sitter You Can Hand the Keys To
Every sitter passes identity and document checks before their first booking, plus a background check. Reviews come only from completed bookings, and you can meet the sitter before you confirm. After each visit you get photos and notes in the booking chat.

Cat Sitter FAQ
What cat owners ask before their first trip.
How often should someone visit my cat?
Most cats need at least one visit a day for food, water and the litter box. Kittens, older cats and cats on medication may need more — book as many visits as your cat’s routine requires.
What does the cat sitter do during a visit?
Feeds your cat, refreshes the water, cleans the litter box, plays and gives medication if needed — everything written in your cat’s care plan.
Do you also offer cat boarding?
Yes. If your cat cannot stay at home, book cat boarding in a sitter’s home — choose a sitter who takes cats. For most cats, though, cat sitter visits at home are calmer than a move.
My cat hides from strangers. Is that a problem?
No. Put it in the pet profile: where your cat hides and how to approach it. The sitter will make sure your cat has eaten and is well without forcing contact.
Can I meet the cat sitter and hand over the keys in advance?
Yes. Message the sitter from their profile and arrange a meet-up before you confirm the booking.
Are drop-in visits only for cats?
Animalty works with dogs and cats today. Drop-in visits fit cats best, but you can also book them for a dog that needs a midday break.
