ProCare is Your Local, Professional Cat Sitter

"My husband and I had to be away for 2-1/2 weeks, and I was kind of anxious about leaving our two cat boys with our previous sitter, as they were out of both food and water when I came home a day early. ProCare not only visited twice a day to feed, water and play with the boys, they sent me text updates each time, and pictures a couple times. (when I was missing them the most!)  They scooped litter boxes, cleaned up messes, washed cat beds, took out trash, picked up mail, made our house look lived in- all in all, went well above and beyond! I will DEFINITELY call ProCare any time I have to be gone, they are absolutely awesome and the cats were perfectly normal when I got home. That is the greatest accolade I can give them!!" Sherie M.

There are a variety of reasons why you might hire a cat sitter.

• One of the most common reasons is because you are going on a vacation or business trip where you cannot take your feline companion.
• Another very common reason is because you are either at the office and can't get away to feed and take care of your cat, or you have something you need to do after work and you won't be going straight home to take care of your cat's needs.
• Maybe you have upcoming surgery or you are recovering from illness or an injury. This is a great time to hire a cat sitter.

Over the years we have found that cat parents who use ProCare have asked themselves the following questions when deciding on a cat sitter: 

• What guarantee do I have that this cat sitter will actually show up at my house and take care of my cats?
• How will I know that this cat sitter performed the tasks I asked them to do?
• Does this cat sitter communicate well, and can I count on them to let me know how each visit went?
• If this cat sitter becomes ill or has a car accident, who will come take care of my cats?
• Am I sure this cat sitter won't rummage through my belongings, consume my food and drink, use my shower, or bring their laundry and use my washer and dryer?
• What assurance do I have that this cat sitter won't bring their children, pet, or boyfriend/girlfriend along to the cat sitting visits?
• What if this cat sitter leaves my door unlocked or one of my windows open?
• Will this cat sitter tell nosy neighbors, solicitors, and potential thieves that I am not at home?
• Am I sure this cat sitter is going to be nice to my cats and not yell at them or physically abuse them?
• What if my cat makes a mess - will this cat sitter clean it up?
• What if my cat becomes ill - will this cat sitter notice, will they communicate effectively with me, and will they take my cat to the veterinarian?

It's a bit unnerving when you think about what could go wrong using a hobby sitter or someone doing their "side hustle" in the "gig economy". If you are looking for peace of mind, read on! We'll show you why you'll have no worries when ProCare is on the job.
