In-Home Cat Sitting in Austin, TX
Your Cat Stays Home, Calm and On Routine

WHY CHOOSE PREMIER PET TLC
Why Is In-Home Cat Sitting Better Than Boarding?
Cats are territorial and feel safest in their own space. At home, your cat keeps its food, litter box, hiding spots and daily routine, and avoids sharing space with unfamiliar cats.
Less stress: no carrier, car ride or strange cats. Stress is linked to urinary problems in cats.
Same routine: meals, medication and playtime happen the way they do when you are home.
Health watched closely: your sitter notices changes in appetite, litter box habits or behavior and tells you right away.
Short or long trips: from a quick 15 minute visit to overnight care.
Very social cats may enjoy more company. Ask about longer visits or overnight care at your meet-and-greet.

How often should a cat sitter visit?
Our minimum is one 15 minute visit every other day. We help you choose the right schedule for your cat at your meet-and-greet.

That is normal for shy cats. Your sitter moves slowly and respectfully, checks that food is eaten and the litter box is used, and gives your cat space.
Will you notice if my cat is sick?
Yes. Your sitter watches appetite, litter box habits and behavior at every visit and tells you right away if something changes.
Can you give my cat medication?
Yes, pills, liquids and topical treatments as your vet directs, at no extra cost.
What happens if my cat has an emergency?
We contact you or your emergency contact in Time To Pet first. If we cannot reach you in time, we take your cat to your regular vet or the nearest animal hospital. Emergency vet costs are paid by the pet owner.
Will I get updates while I am away?
Yes. Your sitter sends photos and notes after every visit through the Time To Pet app.
