The Kitty Sitter Cat Sitting Team For every cat sitter position available at the Kitty Sitter, we get an overwhelming number of applications. Because of this, we can afford to be very selective with whom we employ. Each sitter is interviewed, fully reference checked, police checked and trained. It goes without saying that each sitter must absolutely adore cats and have an affinity with them. In addition, each sitter must have extensive experience in dealing with cats (and other small pets) and be knowledgeable in cat health and cat behaviour. Letitia Smith, 33 years old
