The Pure Joy of Cat Sitting a Kitten
Why I Adore My Job: Fluff and Cuddles with Tawny, the Sweetest Siberian Kitten in White Plains, NY
As a professional pet sitter, my days are filled with everything from lively dog walks along the Stamford waterfront to tending to senior pets who need extra TLC. But I have to admit, there is a special place in my heart reserved for the quiet, joyful work of providing Cat Sitting services. Several weeks back, caring for little Tawny, a sweet four-month-old Siberian kitten, reminded me exactly why.
Tawny is a tiny fluff ball who embodies the best of her breed—affectionate, playful, and incredibly gentle. Her family is located in the heart of White Plains and while it was a little far logistically from Stamford to White Plains on my lunch breaks, I made it work because I fell in love with her. My primary role was drop-in visits, allowing her to stay in the comfort and familiarity of her own home while her family was traveling for work on days that they had to go into the office and neither could stay at home with her.
More Than Just Food and Water: The Art of Kitten Care
For a young kitten, just leaving a bowl of food and a fresh litter box isn't enough; it’s about ensuring their social and developmental needs are met. This is where professional, exclusive cat sitting makes all the difference. Kittens can be mischievous and very curious and can get into trouble very quickly when left to their own devices.
My check-ins with Tawny focused on three key areas:
Playtime and Socialization: Siberian kittens are known for their high energy. We spent probably 45 minutes each visit on active play—chasing feather wands and playing fetch with her favorite hide-and-seek in cardboard boxes and under the couch. This dedicated interaction is vital for developing a balanced, confident cat.
Health and Wellness Checks: As a kitten care specialist, I look for more than a full bowl. I monitor her eating, drinking, and litter box habits closely, ensuring she’s hitting all her milestones. For Tawny, this meant keeping an eye on her kitten socialization with new toys and sounds.
Affection and Comfort: The best part! Tawny, like most Siberians, loves human interaction. I spent quality time just relaxing near her, offering gentle petting, and ensuring she felt safe and secure in my presence. I never had so much nuzzling and snuggling from a kitten in such a long time, my heart melted. Coming home to a calm, happy kitten is the goal of every trusted pet sitter in the area.
The Peace of Mind Only In-Home Pet Sitting Offers
For busy professionals and families across Stamford, CT, and Greenwich, CT, the decision to travel is often complicated by pet logistics. Boarding a kitten, especially a social one, can cause unnecessary stress.
My service provides true peace of mind. While Tawny’s parents were away, they received daily "Paw-gress Reports" with photos and videos of her playful antics. They could see that their little Siberian kitten was thriving, not just surviving.
Whether you have a cute, cuddly, dog or a sweet feline like Tawny needing dedicated cat care visits, my goal is always the same: to provide the highest level of care right in your home.
