JOBS ----- FALL 2023 update: We are NOT currently hiring

Cat Ladies Cat Sitting provides cat sitting services in client homes located mostly in north and central Seattle neighborhoods. A typical day of cat sitting involves driving to approximately 6-8 different client homes between 9am - 6pm and providing care for our cat clients. During busy holiday weeks/weekends cat sitters will often take on more cat clients per day.

Cat Sitter Job Info: Pay averages around $30 - $35 per hour + additional tips (usually very generous) + holiday bonuses. 

The services we provide include feeding, administering medications, cleaning litter boxes, bringing in mail and packages, watering plants, etc. Each visit is around 30 minutes long (with the exception of holiday, holiday-adjacent, and holiday weekend visits which are often abbreviated due to high volume) and you are allowed to make your own route, so the work day is very flexible. Please read through our 'Services' page to get an understanding of the job duties, as well as the description below of what we're looking for in potential candidates.

The best cat sitting candidates will have either prior veterinary experience, professional pet sitting experience, or a love of cats combined with domestic work experience (nannying, caregiving, housecleaning, etc.) Job candidates will need a car, proof of car insurance, a smartphone, and must be able to provide three local job/volunteer references (not friends or family) and pass a background check.

Don't let the name "Cat Ladies" mislead you - we'd love to hear from ANYONE who is interested in working for us....as long as you're not a dog! ;) ​

 What We Look For in Potential Cat Sitters:

• We hire individuals who identify as "cat people" - someone who shamelessly LOVES cats and who will shower our cat clients with love and affection.
• ​You'll need a reliable vehicle (with proof of insurance) and a smart phone. 
• Technologically savvy - you'll need to be able to download and use various apps easily.​
• We hire sitters we can trust to be compassionate, gentle, and patient with our cat clients - no matter how feisty or difficult they are with you. We always strive to treat our cat clients like furry babies.
• It's best if you don't have cat allergies or have issues cleaning up nasty messes (i.e. litter boxes, hairballs, cat vomit, accidents outside of the box, etc.). This is not a job for the squeamish. 
• ​It's preferable if you are able to lift up to 50lbs. and are able to climb stairs. 
•  Common sense, the ability to problem-solve, and good communication skills are key attributes we look for in new hires.
• You'll need to be able to be professional and respect clients' wishes and their homes.​
• We prioritize hiring candidates who have experience administering medications to felines (including injections) OR who have the willingness, confidence, and ability to learn how to administer meds to cats (N/A for temporary/holiday cat sitters).
• It's ideal if you live within close proximity to our Seattle service area.
• You will need to pass a background check and be able to provide three local job/volunteer references (not references from friends or family members.)

Thank you and hope to hear from you soon!

Former Cat Lady Lea L. says, "I  had a wonderful time working for Cat Ladies Cat Sitting for over a year. It is very rewarding being able to work with animals and having so many fur friends. I had hundreds and hundreds of friends and it didn't feel like work. Especially when I was waving a feather around or getting cuddles on the couch. You form special bonds and relationships with your clients. And they are the cutest clients!!! If you love cats you will love this job."
