Cat Sitting

Cats are happiest at home, so we come to them!

Purr-fect Cat Sitting

At Five Star Critter Care, we’re more than just pet sitters—we’re devoted cat lovers! We understand that every cat has their own unique personality, and we take the time to ensure your feline friend feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.

Whether your cat is playful and social or prefers quiet companionship, we tailor our visits to meet their needs. We provide fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, administer medications if needed, and, of course, offer plenty of love and attention.

Best of all, we’re available 365 days a year, including holidays, to provide reliable and compassionate care. When you can’t be home, rest easy knowing your cat is in caring, experienced hands.

How Often Do You Need Visits?

We do not offer every other day visits for cats

Daily Visit

We will stop by once a day sometime between 8am and 8pm to care for your cat.

NEW OPTION : You may request a visit during the morning or afternoon/evening time block, but we do not offer exact times

Twice A Day Visits

We will stop by in the morning (between 7-10am) and then again in the afternoon/evening (between 4-8pm).

This is a great option for cats who are fed wet food and also for cats who are used to having human companionship on a more regular basis.

You can mix and match your cats visit lengths! For example, if they are more active in the afternoon then you can have mornings as 30min visits and afternoon visits that are 60min in length.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been using Abby's services for just over a year and she has been amazing. My cat is always happy to see her and she makes sure to spend time with all of my pets. I was stressed going away with a cat and a rabbit that need daily medications and Abby has been great with them. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Five Star Critter Care has been our go-to for pet sitting for the past four years. Abby always provides excellent care for our crew—we have some shy kitties and we always know they are in good hands when we go out of town. Scheduling and communication via the app is easy and we are provided with updates and a photo for each visit.  5+++ stars

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Five Star Critter Care has been exactly what we needed for our pets since moving to the area. Our cats need a little extra care than just feeding and litter cleanings.  They have medication that has to given every day and specific feeding instructions.  All that gets taken care of with every visit.  Plus anything extra such as cleaning up messes, bringing in deliveries, putting out the trash all get taken care of while we are gone.  And when something really does not go as planned like 3-day delay getting back from an international trip or a medical emergency, Abby was there to help us out with our pets needs.  We recommend them to everyone we know.

Our dog absolutely adores them and always comes back happy and well-exercised. Communication is always prompt and professional, and we even get a photo update, which we love. Highly recommend to anyone looking for trustworthy and compassionate pet care!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Truly exceptional 5 star care! They have looked after our 2 kitties on many, many trips from a few days up to 2 weeks. From the first time we used Five Star our kitties were noticeably calm and content when we returned home, the food, water, and litter always well attended to and they reported back every little thing observed at our house, including updates on the kitties behavior and daily photos. We know our pets always receive attentive, loving care from them and they are easily communicated with through their online portal. Abby and her team are definitely our only go-to for pet care.

Frequently Asked Questions

My cat needs medication administered daily, can you do that?

We are happy to accept cats who need medication as long as they are cooperative!

Some of the most common medications we administer include probiotics, Cosequin, Methimazole and antibiotics. Transdermal and oral meds we are happy to administer.

Some of our team are qualified to provide sub-q fluids for cats who need a little extra kidney care so please submit the form below to see if we are able to assist you.

If you have a question about if we can care for your cat who needs medication, you are welcome to fill out our Cat Medication Inquiry Form and we are happy to reach back out to answer your medication related question.

We are currently NOT accepting cats who need insulin shots.

Will I have the same cat sitter for every visit?

This is a part time job for our team members so in all likelihood you may have several cat sitters. We do try to maintain consistency with our sitters as much as possible. The good news is that we work as a team and we utilize our pet sitting software, Time To Pet to house all the pertinent pet care info so that whichever sitter is doing the visit they have all the information necessary to provide the best care possible. What this also means is that we have more availability to be able to say yes to caring for your cat because we have a team of cat sitters.

Do you offer cat boarding?

We do not offer cat boarding in our own homes. We only go to our clients homes and provide care in their own home. Cats are happiest at home!

How do we book services and pay you?

Easy! We have a very convenient mobile app that you can use. All you have to do is submit a request for the services you want, within 48 business hours we will process your request and send you an invoice.
