How much does a cat sitter cost in Melbourne?

A Woofers cat visit is $35.50 for up to 2 cats and $51.50 for 3 or more cats. VIP members save 10%. A surcharge applies on public holidays. The full list is on our pricing page.

How often should a cat sitter visit?

Most healthy adult cats are fine with one visit a day. Kittens, senior cats and cats on medication often need two. We agree the right number of visits with you at the meet and greet.

Can you look after more than one cat?

Yes. One visit covers up to 2 cats at the same price, and households with 3 or more cats are covered by a single visit at the higher rate.

What happens at the cat sitting meet and greet?

We visit you at home before your trip to meet your cat, learn their routine, note any medication and arrange access to your home, so every visit follows your instructions.

Do you offer cat minding over Christmas and holidays?

Yes. Visits run every day of the year. Holiday periods book out quickly, so we recommend booking as early as you can.

Will I get updates from my cat sitter?

Yes. You receive an SMS update after each visit, so you know your cat has been fed, the litter is clean and everything at home is fine.

Cat Sitting Melbourne | Home Cat Visits from $35.50

Cat Sitter Melbourne

Most cats would rather not leave home. A cattery means a car trip, strange smells and a cage, and plenty of cats stop eating or hide for days afterwards. Kitty Care keeps your cat where they feel safe, with a Woofers carer visiting while you are at work, away for the weekend or on holiday.

Each visit covers the basics your cat relies on: fresh food and water, a clean litter tray, and some time for a pat or a play if your cat wants the company. Your home gets looked after too, with mail, bins and a quick security check on every visit.

Why Cats Do Better at Home

Cats are creatures of routine. Their own bed, their own window and their own feeding spot matter more to them than most owners realise. Keeping that routine in place while you are away means less stress, fewer upset tummies and a cat who greets you at the door rather than sulking under the bed. Woofers has cared for Melbourne pets since 2005, and our team looks after cats across the inner south and east from our base in Ormond.

Cat Visits, Step by Step

Before you go away, a member of our team visits you at home to meet your cat and walk through their routine. We note feeding amounts, litter habits, hiding spots, any medication and how your cat likes to be handled, so every visit follows your instructions rather than our guesswork.

We also arrange how we will access your home and confirm the dates and times of each visit, so you can leave knowing exactly what will happen while you are gone.

Feeding, Litter and Company

On each cat visit we refresh food and water, scoop and change the litter, and check your cat is eating, drinking and behaving as normal. Shy cats are given space. Social cats get a pat, a brush or a few minutes with their favourite toy. If anything seems off, we contact you straight away.

Home Checks Included

Cat minding with Woofers covers your home as well as your cat. We bring in the mail, put the bins out, check doors and windows are secure and make sure everything is as you left it. After each visit you get an SMS update, so you are never left wondering how things are going.

Cats, Dogs and Small Pets

More Than One Pet at Home?

One visit for the whole household

If you have a dog as well as a cat, or your cat needs more time than a quick visit, a pet home visit gives every animal in the house the attention they need. Dogs can also join a private dog walk while we are there.

For longer trips, our 2025/26 price list sets out every visit option, so you can plan care for the full time you are away.
