Cats & Small Pet Sitting

Home Visits Tailored to your Pet’s Routine.

Cats and small pets each have their own personalities, routines, and comfort zones, and caring for them takes a thoughtful, individualized approach. At Fur de Lis Pet Care, we understand that some cats and small animals enjoy interaction, while others prefer a calm, quiet environment with minimal handling. Whether your pet is a social cat, a shy rabbit, a curious ferret, or a more hands-off species like reptiles, amphibians, fish, or birds, we tailor each visit to match their specific needs—providing gentle companionship, routine maintenance, or quiet observation to keep them comfortable and stress-free.

Our services are fully customized to your pet’s daily routine, whether that includes feeding schedules, habitat cleaning, enrichment, medication administration, or simply maintaining a consistent, low-stress environment. From litter boxes and enclosures to aquariums and aviaries, we ensure every detail is handled with care and precision.

Our goal is always to keep your pets relaxed, healthy, and well cared for while you're away, with a level of attention that respects both their species-specific needs and individual personalities. For more details on services for cats and other small pets, see below!
