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

Home visits cost less 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

Up to two cats are allowed in each HDB flat, and every cat must be licensed with the AVS. 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.

Included

Every booking includes

S$29,000 Protection Plan

Up to S$29,000 toward eligible vet costs. Helpful given how high local emergency vet bills can be.

0% owner fee, cashback

Owners pay 0% service fee and earn automatic cashback on every completed booking, lowering the cost of the next one.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does a cat sitter cost in Singapore?
Singapore cat sitters list home visits at S$20 to S$35 a day, most around S$25. A sitter who stays overnight in your home lists S$40 to S$95 a night.
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. Up to two cats are allowed in each HDB flat, and every cat must be licensed with the AVS. 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?
Mention any medication, such as pills, drops or insulin, in your booking request. The sitter tells you before accepting whether they can give it, and you can ask about their experience in chat.
Is there a service fee for owners?
No. Petme charges pet owners 0% service fee, and you earn automatic cashback on every completed booking. The Protection Plan can contribute up to S$29,000 toward eligible vet costs.
Does my cat still need a licence now the transition is over?
Yes. Every cat and dog in Singapore must be licensed with the AVS, and the transition period for existing cats ended on 31 August 2026. A one-year licence for a sterilised cat costs S$15, applied for online through PALS. A Petme sitter can still care for your cat in the meantime.
