Trusted In Home Cat Sitting
Looking for reliable, loving cat sitting in McKinney, Allen, Frisco, or Prosper, Texas? At Backyard Pet Services, we specialize in stress-free, in-home care for your feline family members. Whether you’re away for a weekend or an extended trip, we make sure your cat stays safe, comfortable, and loved—right in the comfort of your own home.
What to Expect from Our Cat Sitting Service
When you initiate communication about your upcoming trip, we will promptly confirm your trip dates and determine the desired number of pet visits per day. During the scheduling process, we meticulously attend to the details of the first and last day, recognizing that these two days may vary (e.g., the initial visit may not be required on the first day, and the final visit of the day may not be necessary on the last day). Our dedicated cat sitting services include sending a qualified sitter to introduce themselves, meet your beloved pet, and take detailed notes!
Once your trip commences, each cat sitting visit extends from 20 to 30 minutes. This duration allows ample time for showering your cat with love and affection, providing meals, refreshing water bowls, attending to cleanup needs, scooping litter boxes, checking the mail, tending to plants, handling trash duties, and anything else your cat may need.
Naturally, every visit is meticulously documented, complete with every-day, funny, and sometimes heartwarming photos capturing your furry companions in their element, receiving affection from the sitter, or posing for the camera. Our comprehensive cat sitting services ensure the well-being and happiness of your pets throughout your time away.
Cat sitting services that are provided at your home…
Pet visits
After an initial meet & greet to say hello and receive instructions, we visit your pets in your home 1 to 4 times a day. We can even come every other day. The frequency will vary on your pet’s care.
Storm Visits
We get it - some pets get anxious when thunder and lightening come rolling through. If this is the case, our sitters can provide an extra 30 minute evening visit to check on everyone before bed after a storm hits.
Overnight and 'almost overnight' visits
Depending on staff availability, we can come to stay overnight in your home with your pets while you’re away (8-12 hour visit). We also offer 'almost overnight' options.
Sole sitter service
Typically, a primary and backup sitter will attend to your home and pets throughout your trip. We make an effort to minimize the number of sitters, considering their individual availability; however, occasional challenges arise due to differing schedules. Should you prefer a single pet sitter for the duration of your trip, an additional fee applies. This extra charge is intended to compensate the sitter for arranging schedule adjustments, such as skipping a class, missing a test, rescheduling a doctor's appointment, forgoing a family event, or even securing a car service (e.g., in the case of a flat tire). This ensures that the selected sitter can be fully dedicated and available 100% for the dates and times you specify.
Exact time service
Typically sitter has a two hour window in which to complete your pet visit. This allows us to factor in other visits around the same time that may take longer to complete and drive time between houses. If you need services at an exact time, we can make it work — but there is an additional fee.^
