What drives the price

What changes a cat sitter's rate

Visit length and count

A 30-minute visit costs less than a 60-minute one. Two visits a day costs more than one. Most owners book one or two visits while away.

Drop-in vs overnight

Drop-in visits are cheaper than overnight stays. Overnight in-home care suits kittens, senior cats, or owners who want a sitter present through the night.

District and season

Central and expat-heavy districts sit at the higher end. Peak travel periods such as December and Chinese New Year can carry a premium.

HDB cats

In-home care now that HDB allows cats

Cats are now legal in HDB flats after a 34-year ban, with licensing required through the AVS by 31 August 2026. That has pushed up demand for in-home cat care across the heartlands as well as condo districts.

In-home drop-in visits keep your cat in their own space with their own litter and feeding spots, which most cats prefer to a cattery. A verified Petme sitter sends a photo update after every visit.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does a cat sitter cost in Singapore?
Cat-sitting drop-in visits typically cost S$15-55, depending on district and visit length. Overnight in-home cat care runs about S$60-110 per night. Central and expat-heavy districts sit at the higher end.
How many visits a day does a cat need?
Most owners book one or two drop-in visits a day. One visit suits an independent adult cat for a short trip; two visits suit kittens, senior cats, or longer absences.
Can a sitter look after my HDB cat?
Yes. Cats are now legal in HDB flats and must be licensed with the AVS by 31 August 2026. Petme cat sitters care for HDB and condo cats alike, in your own home.
What does a cat-sitting visit include?
Feeding, fresh water, litter change, play time, brushing if your cat enjoys it, and a photo update after every visit. You set the routine in your booking notes.
What if my cat needs medication?
Many Petme cat sitters give pills, drops, or insulin. Mention any medical needs in your booking request and the sitter confirms before accepting.
Is there a service fee for owners?
No. Petme charges pet owners 0% service fee, and you earn automatic cashback on every completed booking. Every booking also includes up to 20,000 € in vet protection.
Can I book a cat sitter before my cat is licensed?
Yes. You can book a Petme cat sitter while your AVS licensing is still in progress. Licensing is a separate AVS process; the sitter cares for your cat regardless of where you are in it.
What if I miss the 31 August 2026 licensing deadline?
Keeping an unlicensed cat after the transition period can attract fines from the AVS, so license as soon as you can. A Petme sitter can still care for your cat in the meantime.
