Cats Are Happiest and Healthiest At Home
We believe that cats are best off when left in the safety and comfort of their own home. When you are at work, traveling, or otherwise not at home, or you ARE home and need an extra pair of loving hands, Cat Sitting Visits performed by a professional pet sitter can be a perfect cat sitting solution.
We partner with you in your cat’s health and happiness, and our Care Team has training in cat care and cat first aid so they can handle any emergencies. We are detail-oriented and educated cat lovers, and we are dedicated to providing quality care to your cat and home
Customizable Cat Care In Your Home
Dori Tails provides Cat Sitting Visits in your home 7 days a week, and you can choose 25-minute visits or 50-minute visits. You may need to schedule a longer visit when you have a large number of cat care tasks and/or when the tasks are more complicated. We also do Overnight Care.
You can customize visits based on the needs of your cat. We are entirely committed to meeting your unique needs and making sure your cat is comfortable and happy, and we will discuss your needs during our Free Video Consultation.
