Garden Oaks cat sitting in your cat's own home.

Cats don't need a walk — but they do need a clean litter box, fresh food, and someone who actually shows up. Shaggy Chic's Homebody Hangtime service delivers in-home cat sitting across Garden Oaks: litter-box care, feeding, medication administration, and calm company in your cat's own space. No boarding, no crates, no strangers from an app.

What you get in Garden Oaks

  • Your cat stays home — no boarding, no strange environments
  • Litter-box cleaning, feeding, fresh water, and medication on every visit
  • Every sitter is a trained, background-checked W-2 employee, never a gig contractor
  • Photo + note report after every visit so you know your cat is fine
  • Comfortable with shy, anxious, senior, and multi-cat households
  • Insured, bonded, Fear Free Certified
  • Garden Oaks ranch homes give cats real room to spread out — we know where they tend to station themselves and don't rush the visit to move on faster
  • Every visit includes a clean litter box, fresh food and water, medications, and real time with your cat — not a quick in-and-out

In Garden Oaks

Garden Oaks homes often have real indoor space — older ranch homes where cats have room to spread out across multiple rooms. We know where cats in this neighborhood like to station themselves for the afternoon, and we don't rush the visit to get to the next client. Your cat gets real company, not a quick litter scoop and a photo.

Kristen's team handled a week of overnight care for our anxious rescue while we were out of town. We came home to a dog who didn't even seem to notice we were gone. That's the bar.

Garden Oaks · Frequently asked

What Garden Oaks cat owners ask about Homebody Hangtime.

Do you provide cat sitting throughout Garden Oaks?

Yes — Garden Oaks is one of our core neighborhoods. Our Homebody Hangtime visits cover all of Garden Oaks: litter-box care, feeding, fresh water, medication, and company, in your cat's home. We've been serving this neighborhood since 2010 and start every new client with a free meet & greet.

What does a Homebody Hangtime visit actually include?

Every visit includes a clean litter box, fresh food and water, any scheduled medications, and real time spent with your cat — not just a check-in and out. You get a photo and note report after each visit so you can see exactly how things went. We don't rush through cat visits the way some sitters do.

Can you handle medications or a shy/anxious cat?

Yes. We're comfortable with oral medications, liquid medications, and cats who take time to warm up to new people. Our sitters are Fear Free Certified, which means low-stress handling is built into how we work — no forcing, no rushing, no stressing your cat out. If your cat hides, we let them. We give them space and company at their pace.

How do I get started?

Send us a note through the contact form, call 832-868-8430, or email contact@shaggychicpetservices.com. We schedule a free meet & greet in your home — your sitter comes to you, meets your cat, and walks through the routine before any booking is confirmed.
