We are growing our team and are looking for two reliable, compassionate, and detail-oriented Cat Sitters who take pride in providing excellent care. We are currently hiring for two positions: Position 1: 30-40 hours per week - Best suited for someone with broad availability and flexibility throughout the week. Position 2: 15-20 hours per week - Best suited for someone looking for part-time work who can maintain reliable and flexible availability, including weekends and peak travel periods. Both positions are W-2 employee positions. Hours and schedules may vary from week to week depending on client bookings, seasonal demand, and business needs. About the Job Our Cat Sitters travel between clients' homes to care for their cats while their families are away.

You will receive a scheduled route and travel independently between client homes throughout our service area.

Our visits focus not only on completing essential care tasks, but also on observing each cat's health, behavior, comfort, and individual needs. Schedule & Flexibility Strong schedule flexibility is required for this position. KittyKat Cat Care operates 7 days a week, with visits scheduled between approximately 8:00 AM and 8:00 PM.
