Music City Cats provides a professional pet sitting for your cats. We offer a wide variety of services to meet the specific needs of you and your cat. We are reliable, trustworthy, flexible and put your cat's needs as our top priority.
With Music City Cats your cat stays in its own familiar secure environment where all the sights, smells and sounds say "my home"! Your cats are more comfortable with their regular routine, diet and exercise. Travel stress can upset your cat. Cat parents also have to schedule those trips around an already busy schedule. With a cat sitter, your cat is not exposed to the illness of other animals nor required to have additional shots. Close observation by a sitter often catches illness or injury early. Your cat receives one on one observation, pampering, love and attention while you are away. You won't be inconvenienced or rushed by transporting your cat away from the safety of its own home. Cats are safe and comfortable when you return home. No need to impose on a friend, neighbor or relative to care for your cat. We also provide additional home services while caring for your cat, such as watering plants, bringing in papers, mail, and packages

We strive for continuity for the benefit of both your cat and our pet sitter, as it is our experience that keeping your cat in the care of the same person/people provides for a more comfortable visit and experience for the cat and sitter as both learn each other's nuances, personality, and behaviors. However, in the event of emergencies, sick or vacation days, We reserve the right to send a replacement pet sitter. You can rest assured knowing that all our pet sitters are subjected to background checks and are trained on our pet care standards and introduced by one of our pet sitters familiar with your cat’s and her routine before they care for client cat themselves.
