Cat Sitters Wanted to Join an Established Referral Roster

What’s involved

A West Village pet-sitting service that refers trusted cat sitters to an established client base across the city is looking to add one or two people to that roster, starting as backups. This only works for someone planning to be in NYC long-term — vetting a sitter properly takes time, so a few months in the city won't cut it. You'd need to be available every single day for both AM and PM visits (no week-on/week-off arrangements), including major holidays and the busiest stretch, which is summer through the winter holidays. A few things that matter here: patience and genuine warmth with cats (even the difficult ones), being extremely responsible since you're also looking after someone's home, comfort with a lot of walking between visits (subways, stairs, walk-ups included), basic professionalism over email/text, and having another source of income since this role starts slow and builds over time. Pay starts around $18 for a roughly 30-minute visit (per visit, not per hour), and can grow from there. If this sounds like a fit, reply with your experience around cats, the neighborhoods you can cover, and your daily availability.
