A local edge

Local know-how pays off in Atlanta

Atlanta summers are hot and humid with heavy spring pollen, and the occasional winter ice storm shuts the city down for a day or two. Sitters walk early to beat the heat, watch for hot pavement, and keep stays indoors during an ice event.

When demand peaks

Film and TV production travel and Hartsfield-Jackson business trips keep boarding and house-sitting demand steady, with summer and winter-holiday peaks on top. Daily walks run year-round across the BeltLine neighborhoods.

Know your Atlanta areas

Most cat bookings cluster Midtown to Decatur. Owners book the sitter who can reach them quickly for a daily visit, so the areas you list matter more than the distance you are willing to travel.

What does a typical cat sitting visit involve?
A standard drop-in runs 20 to 30 minutes: feeding, fresh water, litter scooping, playtime, and a photo update to the owner in chat. Many Atlanta owners book one or two visits a day while they travel.
Can I set my own visit schedule in Atlanta?

Are cat sitting jobs hiring near me in Atlanta?
Yes. Petme recruits sitters across Atlanta year-round, from Midtown to Buckhead, and owners send booking requests directly to sitters in their area. There is no vacancy list to wait on: you create a profile, set the areas you cover, and accept the requests you want.
Can I do cat sitting jobs in Atlanta at 16 or 17?
No. Petme sitters must be 18 or over, so under-18s cannot take bookings yet. From 18 you need a smartphone with the Petme app, to pass ID verification, and a profile that describes the pets you have cared for, including your own.
When is cat sitting demand highest in Atlanta?
Film and TV production travel and Hartsfield-Jackson business trips keep boarding and house-sitting demand steady, with summer and winter-holiday peaks on top. That pattern shapes cat sitting bookings in Atlanta across the year. Atlanta summers are hot and humid with heavy spring pollen, and the occasional winter ice storm shuts the city down for a day or two.
What do I need to start cat sitting in Atlanta?
You need to be 18 or over, have a smartphone with the Petme app, and pass ID verification. Owners choose on reviews, availability and a complete profile, so it is worth describing the pets you have looked after, including your own, and naming the Atlanta areas you cover.
Are there jobs in Midtown?
Yes. Midtown is one of the Atlanta areas Petme sitters cover, and you choose exactly which parts of the city you take cat sitting bookings in. Owners there send requests straight to the sitters who list their neighborhood.
