Cat Sitting in Stafford, VA: What an In-Home Visit Actually Includes
What an in-home cat sitting visit in Stafford, VA covers: feeding, litter, play, medication and a photo after every visit. Start with a Meet & Greet.
Cats don't love change. A carrier, a car ride and a kennel full of strange smells can turn a calm cat into a stressed one before you've even reached the airport. That's why so many Stafford cat parents choose in-home cat sitting: your cat stays in the place they know best, on the schedule they already keep.
Here's what a cat sitting visit with Stay With Lacy looks like, from the first hello to the photo in your phone.
What every drop-in visit covers
A drop-in visit is a 15 to 30 minute visit in your home. Every visit includes:
- Feeding on your cat's schedule
- Fresh water and bowl cleaning
- Litter box scooping, every visit
- Playtime and enrichment
- Medication, if your cat needs it
- A home check: lights, mail and doors
- A photo update after every visit
And under our Invisible Guest Guarantee, your home is left tidy, just the way you left it.
Shy or anxious cats are welcome
Many cats hide the first time a new person walks in. That's normal. We've worked with many nervous pets who were shy at first but came around. We go at your cat's pace, keep visits calm and quiet, and let them come to us.
Cats on medication
If your cat takes medication, we can give it during visits and keep a log of what was given and what time, so you always know it was done. Medication is a small add-on; see the FAQ for details.
When an overnight stay makes more sense
Some cats do fine with one or two visits a day. Others need company, are on a tight medication schedule, or just don't do well alone overnight. For them, an overnight stay means someone is in your home through the evening and morning.
