Cat Sitting in Broward County FL
Cats aren’t dogs — they don’t want a road trip, a boarding facility, or a house full of strangers. They want their own bowl, their own litter box, their favorite sunspot on the couch, and someone gentle who shows up on schedule. House and Hound Dog Walkers provides insured and bonded in-home cat sitting throughout Broward County FL — from Coconut Creek and Coral Springs down to Hollywood and Weston. Your cat stays comfortable in their own home while a trained local sitter handles feeding, fresh water, litter box care, medication, playtime for social cats, and a quiet check-in for shy ones. You’ll get a daily photo update through our client app so you always know how your kitty is doing — from a curled-up nap to a hopeful stare at the treat cabinet.

What to Expect from Our In-Home Cat Sitting in Broward County FL
Cat sitting is a completely different craft than dog care. Cats read a stranger’s energy in about ten seconds, remember every unusual smell, and hide for two days if something feels off. Tap any section below to see how our sitters handle shy cats, medication, litter care, and everything else that keeps a cat calm and healthy while you’re away.
How Our In-Home Cat Sitting Works
A trained local cat sitter comes to your Broward home on the schedule you set — usually once or twice a day for most cats, more often for kittens, insulin-dependent diabetics, or cats with special needs. Every visit is 30 minutes minimum, so there’s real time to feed, clean the litter, refresh water, administer medication, sit quietly with a shy cat, and play with a social one. You’ll get a daily photo update with a short report through our easy-to-use client app — what your cat ate, how the litter looked, how they seemed emotionally, and any notes worth flagging. Your cat stays on their own routine, in their own home, on their own terms — which is exactly how cats like it.
How We Handle Shy, Anxious, and Hiding Cats
Most cats vanish under a bed the first visit — that’s normal. Our sitters don’t chase, corner, or drag out a hiding cat. They sit quietly on the floor, talk softly, wait, and let your cat come to them at their own pace. By visit three or four, most shy cats are cautiously curious. By visit six, they’re often rubbing against a leg. For cats who genuinely don’t want interaction, we respect that — we feed, refresh water, clean the litter, verify the cat is safe and eating, and quietly leave. Either way, you’ll see photos of your cat in the daily report so you know they’re okay, even if they’re still Under The Couch Committee members.
Feeding, Medication & Litter Care
We follow your feeding schedule exactly — dry, wet, prescription, or a mix — with the portions you specify. Fresh water every single visit (cats can be finicky about stale water). Litter boxes get scooped and refreshed every visit; full changes on the schedule you set. For medication, our sitters routinely administer oral pills (with pill pockets or hidden in food), transdermal ear gels, sub-q fluids for chronic kidney disease, insulin injections for diabetic cats, and other prescriptions per your vet’s written instructions. Every dose is logged in the visit report with a time stamp — no missed pills, no confusion, no guessing.
Who Our In-Home Cat Sitting Is Ideal For
In-home cat sitting is the right fit for almost every cat — because almost every cat does terribly in boarding. Perfect for snowbirds heading north for the summer, business travelers, cruise-goers out of Port Everglades, single-cat and multi-cat homes, senior cats on medication, cats with chronic conditions like CKD or diabetes, indoor-only cats who’ve never left the house, shy rescues still building trust, high-strung breeds like Bengals and Siamese, and any cat who freezes at the sight of a carrier. If you’d feel guilty leaving them at a boarding facility, this is what you actually want.
Why Broward Cat Owners Choose Our In-Home Cat Sitting
Cat-Specialized Sitters
Our cat sitters actually understand cats — the difference between a slow blink and a warning, why your Bengal is talking so much, and how to earn trust from a rescue who’s still hiding under the bed on day three.
Your Home, Their Territory
No carriers, no car rides, no boarding. Your cat stays in their own home with their own smells, own hiding spots, own routine, and own space — exactly what cats need to stay calm and healthy while you’re away.
Medication & Special Needs
Diabetic cats, CKD cats, senior cats on multiple meds — every sitter is trained to administer oral pills, sub-q fluids, insulin injections, and transdermal gels on schedule, per your vet’s instructions. Every dose is logged with a time stamp.
Licensed, Insured & Bonded
House and Hound Dog Walkers is a fully licensed, insured, and bonded company — every sitter on our Broward team is background-checked and covered under our business liability policy. Something no gig-app sitter can offer.
Daily Photo Updates
You’ll get a daily photo through our client app — your cat mid-nap, mid-stretch, mid-treat, or mid-stare-at-the-window. Plus a short note on how much they ate, how the litter looked, and how they seemed emotionally.
Reliable Every Single Day
Cats don’t understand “the sitter had car trouble.” We show up every scheduled visit, on time, through Florida storms, snowbird season, and every major holiday — because your cat’s routine is what keeps them healthy.

Who Our In-Home Cat Sitting in Broward County FL Is Ideal For
Cat sitting works for almost every cat — because almost every cat does terribly outside their own home. Here’s who benefits most from our in-home cat sitting service in Broward County:
- Snowbirds heading north — Your cat stays comfortable in their own Broward home for the summer instead of traveling or being boarded. Same sitter every visit so your cat builds a familiar face.
- Cruise travelers out of Port Everglades — Whether it’s a 3-day Bahamas trip or a 14-day Caribbean cruise, your cat stays home with someone who visits daily — no carrier, no car ride, no stress.
- Business travelers & FLL flyers — Frequent trips to New York, Atlanta, or overseas? Your cat gets one consistent primary sitter who knows their routine and their quirks.
- Cats with chronic conditions — CKD, diabetes, hyperthyroidism, IBD — our sitters administer sub-q fluids, insulin injections, oral pills, and transdermal gels on schedule per your vet’s instructions. Every dose logged with a time stamp.
- Senior cats — Older cats need calm environments, consistent routines, and someone who notices changes in appetite, litter habits, or behavior. Boarding facilities can’t provide that level of attentive care.
- Shy, anxious, or feral-leaning cats — Cats who hide from strangers, hate carriers, or freeze in new environments do dramatically better with a quiet sitter who visits their home than in any boarding setup.
- Multi-cat households — Two cats, five cats, or a mixed cat + dog home — we handle coordinated care with FREE multi-pet pricing (no per-cat charges like Rover or boarding facilities).
- Kittens & new adoptions — Young kittens on multiple daily feedings, or newly adopted cats still building trust with you, need frequency and consistency that only in-home visits can provide.
Broward County Cat Sitting — Frequently Asked Questions
How much does cat sitting in Broward County FL cost?
Our Broward cat sitting rates are $20 for a 15-minute visit (unsocial cats), $25 for 30 minutes, $40 for a full hour, and $60 for a 90-minute visit. Overnight cat sitting in your home is $80/night Monday to Friday and $100/night on weekends. Multiple cats in the same household are FREE — no per-cat charges. Medication administration (oral pills, sub-q fluids, insulin injections, transdermal gels) is included at no extra charge. There is a $5 surcharge after 7 pm, before 7 am, and on weekends, plus a 50% surcharge on major holidays.
How many visits per day does my cat really need?
It depends on your cat. Most healthy adult cats do fine with one visit per day for short trips (1–3 days), and two visits per day for longer trips or if they’re on medication. Kittens under 6 months need 2–3 visits daily for feeding and socialization. Insulin-dependent diabetic cats need 2 visits per day (roughly 12 hours apart) for injections. Senior cats often prefer 2 shorter visits over 1 long one so they get more consistent attention. We’ll help you decide during your free meet & greet based on your cat’s specific needs.
What if my cat hides the whole time or won't come out?
Completely normal — most cats vanish under a bed the first few visits with a new sitter. Our sitters don’t chase, corner, or drag out a hiding cat. They sit quietly on the floor, talk softly, wait, and let your cat come to them at their own pace. Even if your cat stays hidden the entire trip, we still feed, refresh water, clean the litter box, administer any medications, verify your cat is safe and eating (empty bowl = success), and send you a photo of the untouched spot where we last saw them. You’ll always know your cat is okay.
Can you give my cat insulin, sub-q fluids, or other medications?
Yes — our sitters routinely administer oral pills (with pill pockets or hidden in food), transdermal ear gels, sub-q fluids for chronic kidney disease, insulin injections for diabetic cats, ear drops, eye drops, and other prescriptions per your vet’s written instructions. Every single dose is logged in your visit report with a time stamp — no missed pills, no confusion. During your meet & greet, we go over exactly how your cat prefers meds administered and any tricks that work with your specific cat.
Do you charge extra for multiple cats?
No — multi-cat households pay the same rate as single-cat households. Whether you have one cat, three cats, or a small colony, our per-visit pricing stays the same. This is a huge difference from Rover, Wag, and traditional boarding facilities that charge per animal. We also handle mixed households — cats + dogs, cats + rabbits, cats + reptiles — under the same flat visit rate.
How do I book cat sitting in Broward and is there a meet & greet?
Every new Broward client starts with a complimentary meet & greet at your home. Your cat sitter comes over, meets your cat (or watches them hide, which is fine), tours where the food, water, litter, meds, and hiding spots are, reviews the feeding schedule, and answers all your questions. No booking is confirmed until you feel completely comfortable. Contact us at (954) 695-1404 or through our website — for scheduling, 1–2 weeks notice is ideal, and during snowbird season (November–April) and major holidays we book up 2–4 weeks in advance.
