Houston Cat Sitting

Cats are creatures of habit. Pulling them out of their home and dropping them at a boarding facility — surrounded by barking dogs and strange smells — isn't rest. It's stress. Since 2010, Shaggy Chic has provided in-home cat sitting across Greater Heights, Garden Oaks, Oak Forest, Spring Branch, Timbergrove, and Lazybrook. Your cat stays in their own space. We come to them.

What's Included:

• Litter-Box CareScooped and freshened every visit. We don't skip it.
• Feeding & Fresh WaterWet food, dry food, prescription diets — we follow your cat's exact schedule and portion sizes.
• Medication AdministrationOral, liquid, or transdermal — confirmed at the meet & greet so there are no surprises on day one.
• Real CompanionshipWe stay for the full visit — play, brushing, lap time, or just calm presence. Whatever your cat wants.
• Photo ReportsAfter every visit you get a photo and a note. No news is good news — but we send the photo either way.
• W-2 Employees OnlyEvery sitter is background-checked, Fear Free Certified, and a W-2 employee — never a stranger from a gig app.

Shy cats, multi-cat households, senior cats on medication, cats who've never warmed up to strangers — we've handled them all. Fear Free handling means we work at your cat's pace, not ours. Every new client starts with a free meet & greet so your cat can size us up before we're ever there alone.

Planning your cat-sitting visits

Cat-sitting visits start at $35 for 30 minutes. At your free meet & greet, we'll review feeding times, litter-box locations, medication instructions, favorite hiding spots, and how your cat likes to interact. We'll agree on the visit schedule before you leave, with photos and notes after each visit so you can follow your cat's care while you're away.
