Getting Started
New clients are required to complete the contact form and register for an account before scheduling services.
Once approved, clients must complete their personal and cat profiles before a meet-and-greet can be scheduled.
This ensures I have the information needed to understand your cat's care requirements and prepare for our initial meeting.

Once your account is active, all service requests, scheduling changes, and updates must be submitted through the client portal. This keeps information accurate, organized, and easily accessible for every booking.

Meet-and-Greet
The meet-and-greet is a required initial visit for all new clients, regardless of their cat's personality or temperament. Its primary purpose is to meet you, review care details, and ensure we are a good fit. During this visit, I will review the information in your
account, your cat's routine, feeding instructions, medications if applicable, home access, emergency procedures, and security arrangements.
While I always enjoy meeting your cats, many prefer to hide during these visits, and that's perfectly fine. As a Fear Free Certified Professional, I respect each cat's comfort level and never force interactions.
Meet-and-greets typically take 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the number of cats and level of care required.
At the meet-and-greet, one set of house keys is required. A non-refundable retainer is required to secure your reservation.
Meet-and-Greet Fees
Initial meet-and-greets are complimentary for approved new clients with confirmed service dates.
Additional meet-and-greets are $45 per visit.
Please Note: Additional visits for key collection or other purposes will incur a separate charge.
I look forward to meeting you and your cats.
Cat Sitting
At Desert Whiskers Cat Sitting, professional in-home cat care is provided based on each cat's individual needs and routine. Visits are structured to ensure attentive, unhurried care, whether that includes feeding, litter box maintenance, medication administration, enrichment, or quiet companionship for more reserved cats.
Care may include oral medications, insulin injections, or transdermal medications when required. Medication administration is dependent on each cat's cooperation and temperament. All services take place in your cat's home to reduce stress and maintain familiar routines.
Homes with multiple cats, medical needs, or more involved routines may require longer visits to ensure care is never rushed.
Please note: Cats must be seen a minimum of once per day.
Every other day care is not offered.
Rates:
30-minute visit - $45
45-minute visit - $60
60-minute visit - $75
At Desert Whiskers Cat Sitting, visit length recommendations are made during the meet-and-greet based on your cat's individual care needs.
