Cats love their routine and their own space. When you travel the wrong care can leave your cat stressed and also you worried. That is why many of the pet parents prefer hire a cat pet sitter to look after their cat at home or choose good cat boarding. But how do you pick someone that you can trust? This simple guide explains your options, how to find a sitter, what it costs, and what to ask. At ZoodleApp, we connect pet parents across India with verified pet sitters, so we have kept this guide short and easy to follow. 

Which Cat Boarding Options Are Best for Long Stays and Daily Updates? 

There are a few ways to care your cat while you are away - 

• Drop-in visits: Where sitter visits once or twice a day to feed, refill the water, clean the litter and play. Best for the short trips. 

• Overnight in-home sitting: The sitter stays at your home. Best for long stays, kittens, senior cats, and cats on medicine. 

• Home boarding: Your cat stays in the host's home. This works well for friendly, social cats if the host has a quiet room away from dogs. 

• Boarding facility: Your cat stays in a dedicated space with the staff. Check that it is calm, clean, and not very crowded. 

For a long stays with a daily updates and overnight in home sitting or home boarding with very few pets is usually the best choice. Cats often dislike changes in their surroundings so staying in their own home is usually the most comfortable and stress free option. Request for daily photo or video plus note on an eating, drinking and their litter habits.
