Hour long visits are great for the kitties who really benefit from having a human in their home. Some kitties may enjoy an hour long visit if they are lonely, have anxiety without their human, takes a medication that needs adequate time to administer, or just need a little extra love.
Medical Visits
Our sitters are all experienced cat people and demonstrate a high degree of understanding of cats and their needs. During the hiring process we ensure that sitters either have experience administering medication to cats already, or are prepared and happy to do so. Austin Cat Sitters define a medical visit as a visit where the sitter needs to touch the cat to administer the medication. Using this definition pill pockets, food supplements, medications as treats, and medically prescribed foods would fall under a non medical visit.
Nebulizer and Breathing treatments
Ointments
Pilling (has to be wrapped to take pill - won’t take it in food)
We do not offer insulin injections or subcutaneous fluids
20 Minute Medical Visit $32
40 Minute Medical Visit. $55
60 Minute Medical Visit. $73
Medical Emergencies
All of our Managers are kitty first aid & cpr trained and can help assist the sitters to determine the best solution.
One of the greatest benefits to clients of Austin Cat Sitters is the peace of mind that in the event of a medical emergency (a sitter finds a sick cat at the visit for example) we are able to get them to an emergency vet quickly, if needed. With a Manager on duty from open to close 365 days per year, in the very unlikely event we need to get your fur-baby to a veterinarian, our team will organize everything for you.
