  • Cat Sitter

    The Comforted Kitty

    Direct care worker job in Atlanta, GA

    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 Atlanta 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 πŸ’° Make money doing what you love! Bonuses & Holiday Pay πŸŽ‰ 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. Flexibility πŸ“… Depending on your location and availability, you can work as much as you'd like, with peak demand during holidays and summer. Community It's not just about the work. Have access to a groupchat network of hundreds of other self-employed pet care providers across the country who you can ask question or advice about cat care, health and behavior as well as community resources for fostering or adopting cats (and dogs) in need of homes. 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 in their home, winning them over with your warm smile, demeanor and professional approach. You'll go over the whole care routine, finding out where things are in the home, and discuss contingency plans for emergencies. At the sittings, you'll precisely follow the directions the client has given for the cat and home care, socialize with the cat, leave the home spotless, and delight the client by sending a daily visit update to them through our pet sitting phone 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 to a tee - feeding, refreshing water, cleaning bowls, scooping litter, and administering medications if needed. Happy Hours: Spend quality time with each cat, offering love, cuddles, or playtime based on their unique personality. Light Housekeeping: Complete small tasks like watering plants, collecting mail, and taking out trash. Daily Updates: Keep owners in the loop with charming updates and photos that showcase their furry friend's antics. We have a market-leading app to help you stay connected. 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 oral meds, injections or fluids Calm, reliable, and organized personality (cats love consistency, and so do we!) 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. πŸ“† 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. While we need reliability, the schedule is flexible within the timeframes chosen by your clients. About Us The Cat Care Equation = Reliability + Responsibility + Responsiveness. Every single cat owner we've met considers their cat an essential part of their family. But, when they go away, knowing what to do and where to turn can be a hard road to navigate. Especially when there are so many seemingly β€œeasy” options out there. In our modern society, it can be challenging finding a cat sitter who is reliable, responsible, and responsive. We've seen all too often pet sitters who don't recognize the profound importance of this. A negligent, inattentive, unknowledgeable cat sitter is not a lesson to be learned, it can be a travesty for both you and your cat. Since 2014, we've been a trusted provider of professional in-home cat care. Whether it's a shy senior cat or a rambunctious kitten, we provide individualized care with a focus on professionalism and love. β€œFinding a reliable, responsive, and professional cat sitter these days is hard. Providing the highest quality service to our clients is of utmost importance to our company. Your trust and respect must not be violated by anyone you hire to care for your beloved cat and home.” Dan McPartlan (Owner/Founder) Read all about us right here. Ready to Join the Team? Don't let this purrfect opportunity pass you by! Fill out our quick 3-minute, mobile-friendly application today. We're excited to hear more about you. P.S. - Candidates must be able to pass a background and reference check. *Please only apply to one position only, even if you are interested in working for multiple locations. **No phone calls please. We receive a very high volume of applications and will respond to persons we feel might be a good fit.
