While there are no formal qualifications to become a cat sitter and you could land your first client with no previous work history, it’s a good idea to increase your know-how before you tackle your first real
pet sitting job. Offering to care for the cats of friends and family, and volunteering at your local animal shelter are great ways to gain hands-on experience. Reading up on cat behavior, learning basic pet first aid, researching the industry, and acquiring other relevant skills through training workshops or online classes will set you up for success as well.
