Professional Cat Sitter – A Purrfectly Flexible Opportunity!

Do you love cats? Are you great at customer service and have a flexible schedule? Do you dream of turning your passion for felines into a rewarding job? If so, The Comforted Kitty is looking to contract immediately with a self-employed Cat Sitter in the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area.

The position is very flexible: you set your own hours, service area, and when you want to work. Get paid to take care of adorable cats—a dream for anyone who loves whiskers, purrs, and paws!

The Perks

Here's what's in it for you:

• Competitive Pay
• Bonuses & Holiday Pay
• Flexibility

• Make money doing what you love!

• Receive bonus pay for working on holidays, accepting short notice requests, client referrals, positive feedback by your clients, and more.
• Many clients give generous gratuities which are 100% paid to the sitter.

• Depending on your location and availability, you can work as much as you'd like, with peak demand during holidays and summer.

A Day in the Life of a Cat Sitter

Cat Sitters visit cats in client's homes for drop-in visits (30, 45, or 60 minutes) once or twice daily or for 10-hour overnight stays. Before your first sitting visit, you'll meet each client and their cat in person for a meet and greet at their home, learn their routines, and discuss contingency plans for emergencies. At the sittings, you'll follow client instructions for cat and home care, socialize with the cat, leave the home spotless, and send daily visit updates through our pet sitting app.

Here's what to expect:

• Meet & Greet: Meet your feline clients (and their humans) at home to learn about their needs and routines.
• Cat Care Done Right: Follow detailed instructions for feeding, water, cleaning bowls, litter, and medications if needed.
• Happy Hours: Spend quality time with each cat based on their personality.
• Light Housekeeping: Complete small tasks like watering plants, collecting mail, and taking out trash.
• Daily Updates: Keep owners in the loop with updates and photos via our app.

What We're Looking For

Essential Traits:

• At least 18 years old
• Experience caring for cats (professional experience is a plus but not required)
• A smartphone with internet access, texting, and camera capabilities
• Ability to pass a criminal background check and provide references

Desirable Extras:

• Certification in pet first aid/CPR or experience administering medications or fluids
• Calm, reliable, and organized personality
• Availability during peak times, especially winter holidays

Why This Job is the Cat's Meow

This is a flexible, self-employed role (not an employee W2 position) that's perfect for part-timers, workers with unconventional schedules, or anyone looking for a fulfilling side hustle.

Choose Your Shifts:

• 30, 45, or 60 minute drop-in visits; 1x, 2x, or 3x daily
• Morning (6 am – 12 pm)
• Afternoon (12 pm – 5 pm)
• Evening (5 pm – 10 pm)
• Anytime (6 am – 10 pm)
• Overnight (10-hour stays in the client's home)
• 24 hour live-in house sitting

We'll match you with clients based on your availability. Schedule is flexible within the timeframes chosen by your clients.
