Cat Sitter
About The Position
The Comforted Kitty is seeking reliable, responsible cat lovers to provide in-home cat-sitting visits while clients are away in the Riverside, California area. This flexible, part-time independent contractor role allows sitters to set their availability and service area, with the company matching them to clients. Sitters work independently to care for cats, help pet parents travel with peace of mind, and build relationships with repeat clients. Service options include 30-, 45-, or 60-minute drop-in visits (one to three times daily), extended daytime visits of two to eight hours, 10-hour overnights, and live-in 24-hour care with overnight care. Visits may involve feeding and refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, providing playtime or companionship, following detailed care instructions, and sharing updates and photos through the company app. Other requested tasks may include bringing in mail or packages and adjusting lights, blinds, or trash and recycling. Sitters may administer medication when they have the experience and are comfortable doing so. Weekend, holiday, morning, afternoon, and evening availability is especially valuable. Sitters are paid per visit, with rates typically starting around $25 per 30-minute visit and higher pay for longer visits, overnight care, and house sitting. Perks include weekly direct deposit, bonus opportunities, and 100% of tips.
