What are the costs for cat sitting on Flat4Pet?

Flat4Pet offers a more affordable and flexible alternative with a membership-based model. Instead of paying per visit or night, you pay a flat annual fee and get unlimited access to trusted local sitters — making it ideal for both short trips and longer getaways.

Why choose a Flat4Pet sitter over a cattery?

Flat4Pet sitters provide in-home care, allowing your cat to stay in a familiar and stress-free environment. Flat4Pet sitters can support routines by adjusting to cat feeding amounts. Unlike catteries, where cats may feel anxious due to new surroundings and other animals, in-home sitting ensures your cat receives personalized care, attention, and a quiet, comfortable experience.

Are cat sitters available in Oakland, including for long-term care?

Yes! Flat4Pet connects cat owners in Rockridge, Temescal, Montclair, Downtown Oakland, and beyond with experienced sitters for both short-term visits and extended stays. If no local sitters are immediately available, many members are happy to travel to Oakland to care for your cat. Flat4Pet makes it easy to welcome a cat sitter from Richmond, Helsinki, or wherever pet lovers are found.
