Sedona Cat Sitters offers 30 min. and 60 min. drop-in visits per day. We typically provide up to two drop-in visits per day (am/pm), but a third drop-in visit per day is possible if time permits. We also offer overnight house sitting which can run up to several months in length if needed.
We don't recommend it. Cats can seem fine one day and be in real trouble the next, a stuck collar, a knocked-over water bowl, a sudden illness, and a few days between visits means nobody notices until it's possibly too late. Litter boxes also get unpleasant fast, especially with multiple cats.
On top of the safety side, cats are also creatures of habit who thrive on routine, and most really do miss their people. Daily visits mean your cat gets fresh food and water, along with the love, attention, and playtime they're used to, instead of feeling isolated or anxious while you're away.
Our service areas include: Sedona, Village of Oak Creek, Cottonwood, Jerome, Clarkdale, Cornville, Rimrock and Camp Verde.
The first thing is to make sure that we are available for the dates you need the service. Simply reach out to us via our contact form and ask about the dates you need. If they are available, you can then book your service dates using our separate sign-up form . It's that easy!

For Drop-in Visits, we only require a meet and greet if there are medications, etc. involved.

Our meet and greets are always free and usually take place about a week prior to the first day of sitting.
We are a specialty service that caters to cats only.
Sorry, but we only offer cat sitting services at your home.
The short answer is yes. However, if your cat requires raw meals to be prepared, an additional fee may be required as raw food prep is very time intensive to help ensure quality.
It really depends on the length of each sit. While a 30 min. visit goes pretty fast, we usually dedicate about 10 min. to playtime with everything else we have to do. Naturally, a 60 min. visit will allow for much longer playtime, especially when there are multiple cats. Please note that drop-in visits with 3 or more cats are automatically scheduled as 60-minute visits to ensure the best possible care.
Just like with playtime, it varies depending on the length of the visit.
Yes, our staff is qualified in administering medications and supplements…even sub-q fluids. Please let us know in advance which delivery method you use so that we can do the same.
Yes, we do tidy up the litter box. If time allows, we'll even perform a complete litter box change if it's very full.
Yes, we will definitely accommodate you in those areas, but it really depends on the available time. Typically, with 30 min. visits we have time to bring in the mail, provide food/fresh water, meds, grooming and playtime. We'd really need a 60 min. visit to also water the indoor plants, refill bird feeders and vacuum any excess litter, especially when there are multiple cats. Please note that drop-in visits with 3 or more cats are automatically scheduled as 60-minute visits to ensure the best possible care.
Yes, all of our sitters are trained in CPR and emergency response. Clients are also required to provide contact info for their local vet, and are responsible for any vet bill reimbursement to the sitter should the need arise.

Yes, the sitter will leave a detailed Cat Sitting Journal in the home, documenting all of the services performed at each visit. I also send you updates (including photos) of your cats during the visits!
