Question 1

How much does cat sitting cost?

Accepted Answer

Cat sitting on KasPaws typically runs $18–$30 per visit. Most cat parents book 1 visit per day for healthy adult cats, 2 visits for kittens, seniors, or cats on medication.

Question 2

How many visits per day does my cat need?

Accepted Answer

One 30-minute visit per day is enough for most healthy adult cats. Two visits a day are recommended for kittens, very social cats, cats with medication needs, multi-cat households, and cats who use food puzzles or wet food.

Question 3

Can KasPaws cat sitters give medication?

Accepted Answer

Yes — most can administer routine pills, drops, and topical medications. For insulin injections or sub-q fluids, filter for sitters who explicitly list medical experience and confirm before booking.

Question 4

Should I board my cat or hire a cat sitter?

Accepted Answer

For most cats, in-home cat sitting is less stressful than boarding. Cats are territorial — being in a familiar environment with familiar smells reduces anxiety. Boarding is usually only better when the cat needs around-the-clock supervision.

Question 5

What does a typical cat-sitting visit include?

Accepted Answer

Feeding, fresh water, scoop the litter (and occasionally fully change it), brief play/affection time, medication if needed, plant watering or mail check on request, and a photo update.
