Product Description
Nothing can replace home as the best and least-traumatic place to leave a cat when an owner goes away. And leaving a cat at home means hiring a cat sitter to either stay at the house or come in periodically to care for a pet. This handbook is designed to offer owners peace of mind by informing the cat sitter about the peculiarities of a cat and its daily requirements, while also giving valuable information about general pet care. The easy-to-use handbook format allows the owner to fill in appropriate information about their cat's food, outside schedule, toys, rules, favorite chair, medication, etc. The text of the book consisits of an orientation on general cat behavior; tips on dealing with behavior problems; and what to do in case of an emergency. There is also a valuable section on how to give a cat medication, while also allowing the owner to write specific directions, and a section on emergency medical care for cats. This handbook minimizes a pet's stress when it is left in another's care, and gives owners peace-of-mind as their personal instructions and advise are clearly outlined and easy to follow.

 Great unique resource for your (amateur) pet sitter December 2, 2003
Am buying another copy for a gift and have already given several friends this book - those who 'hire' friends, neighbors or co-workers to pet sit their cat while they are gone. This info-packed little book has been well received by both cat sitters and cat owners. It doesn't claim to be for professional pet sitters and thus, should not be judged as such. Do you want your cat to be in good, informed hands in your absence? This little book lives up to it's name.
 Pet Sitter's Advice December 2, 2003

As a pet sitter I can tell you- If you want to spend your time filling out this book, go right ahead. But you should know that your pet sitter will NOT have time to read it. If you hire a reputable and experienced pet sitter, he/she will ask you many of the same questions you will find in this handbook. Moreover, your pet sitter should already know first aid and general pet care tips. If they don't, don't hire them!
