Cat sitter’s guide: checklist for overnight stays

If you are staying overnight with a cat in someone else’s home, it’s useful to have a checklist of things to take. Here’s a simplified version of mine…

Cat-sitter’s Overnight Stay Checklist

  • Phone charger or battery pack
  • Comfortable nightwear (be mindful of cameras)
  • Earplugs
  • Sleep mask
  • Slippers or thick socks
  • Towel or flannel
  • Toothbrush
  • Travel-size toiletries
  • Meds / personal health items
  • Anything for extra comfort (blanket / pillow)
  • Notecard, paper, pen & envelope (for leaving a note or posting keys back)
  • Book
  • Snacks & water bottle

If the client is happy for you to use their wifi, remember to ask for the code.
