Cat Sitting
​
What kind of cat sitting do you provide?
Cat Sitting includes pets and play, water and food refreshment as desired, and litter box cleaning from a certified cat sitting pet care provider. Our cat sitting service hours are from 6am until 10pm 365 days a year with morning, midday, early afternoon, late afternoon, evening, and late night visit options.​
You will receive a notification when your cat sitter arrives, and a personalized report card once the visit is complete, including photos of your kitty! You will also have your own account with our easy-to-use Time to Pet app so that you can make payments, communicate with your pet care provider, and request services whenever you may need us!
​
We are also happy to water plants, rotate lights and bring in mail at no extra cost.
Who are your Cat Sitters?
While all of our Pet Care Professionals work with dogs, only a select few work with cats. All of our Cat Sitters have or have had cats themselves so you know you will get a Pet Care Professional that both truly knows and truly loves cats.
All of our Pet Care Professionals are carefully vetted, selected and extensively trained. We do not use independent contractors and all of our Pet Care Professionals are all actual employees of Hyde Bark. Each employee goes through an extensive hiring and training process, including a background check. Before starting, each employee first completes multiple online training courses in which they must score 100% on each test to pass. Next, they do between 20-40 hours of on-the-job training. We continue to mentor, supervise and support employees throughout their tenure with us.
​
Our employees enjoy benefits such as health insurance, paid time off, mileage reimbursement, and we are proud to pay a living wage. All of these things help us to attract top applicants with career-focused minds. Many of our employees have been with us for years, and most are full-time, meaning this is what they do for a living!
We are an all-inclusive employer and welcome LGBTQ-identifying individuals and are proud to have a diverse team. We take hiring very seriously and only choose the very best and most qualified applicants. To learn more about our hiring and training process, please review our Jobs tab.
