What is a cat sitter?

A cat sitter is someone who genuinely loves cats and has hands-on experience caring for them — and who comes to your home to look after your pet while you’re away. This kind of service is already hugely popular in Western countries, with platforms like Rover and PetBacker helping pet owners find nearby, available sitters. In Taiwan, services like Catopia and Fluv offer similar pet sitter matching. Compared to traditional pet hotels or cat hotels, a pet sitter is often a better fit for modern pet parents — no drop-off trips needed, and your cat gets to stay in their own familiar space without the stress.

Many pet owners highly recommend pet sitter services. Fluv is Taiwan’s largest pet sitter platform.

What services does a cat sitter offer?

In-home care

The cat sitter comes to your home to care for your pet, including feeding, tidying up, playtime, and sending you updates. You can book a preliminary home visit so the sitter can get familiar with the space and meet your cat for the first time.

Great for cats who prefer staying home. If you have multiple pets, in-home care is also a cost-effective option that lets them move around in their own familiar environment.

Cat boarding

Your cat stays at the sitter’s home and receives one-on-one care, with the freedom to roam and play in a home setting. Services include feeding, general care, playtime, and regular updates to you — with cage-free and personalized care as standard.

Great for sociable cats who need space to move around.

Long-term home care

A great option for owners who are away for extended periods and don’t want their cat stuck in a cage at a cat hotel. Your cat stays in their routine, cared for by a professional sitter who can also take them out for some fresh air.

Perfect for pet owners with frequent or long-term travel needs.

Free introductory home visit

Before committing to a booking, you can schedule a free home visit to meet the sitter, see the environment, and let your cat warm up to them. Once everyone’s comfortable, simply go ahead and book.

For every service, your sitter will send you photo updates throughout, so you can see exactly how your pet is doing — even when you’re far away!

Pet sitter FAQ

1. How does the sitter get into your home when you’re not there?

During the preliminary home visit, the sitter gets to meet your pet for the first time and familiarize themselves with the space — where the food bowls, litter box, and cleaning supplies are, and what your pet’s personality is like. At this visit, you and the sitter can discuss how to hand over the key. Many owners arrange this through their building’s front desk.

2. How are cat sitters vetted? Can I trust a stranger?

All pet sitters on Fluv are animal lovers with hands-on pet care or volunteer experience. They go through identity verification and training before joining the platform. You can also browse each sitter’s ratings and reviews through Fluv’s review system to find someone you feel confident about.

3. What happens if my cat gets hurt?

Every booking includes insurance coverage. If an accident occurs during care, the sitter is responsible for compensation, with a self-pay excess of NT$3,000. For costs beyond that, Cathay Insurance provides up to NT$15,000 in additional medical coverage.

4. My cat is very shy — is a cat sitter still a good fit?

If your cat is timid or takes time to warm up, a preliminary home visit is a great way to let them meet the sitter in a low-pressure setting and start building trust. If you’re still unsure, the sitter and owner can talk it through together to decide what’s best.

If your cat tends to be aggressive, a pet sitter may not be the right fit — both for the sitter’s safety and to avoid overstressing your pet.

5. My pet needs medication or wound care — can a pet sitter help?

For any special medical needs, look for sitters who have listed medical care as one of their skills. You can also discuss the details directly with a sitter when booking and make sure all care instructions are clearly communicated.
