Not Just One Sitter—A Support System for Your Cat’s Care
When I started Slow Blinks Cat Sitting a year and a half ago, my mission was simple: to give cat parents true peace of mind while they travel by providing premium, in-home care for their beloved cats.
🐾 As the business has grown, I’ve realized that the best way to maintain the highest level of care is not to do everything myself, but to build a trusted team that shares my commitment to excellence. You may have noticed that we’ve recently added new Cat Care Specialists as well as administrative and digital marketing support. This team-based approach allows each of us to focus on what we do best and show up fully for your cat.
🐈⬛ Why Does a Team Approach Work? 🐈
Bringing on team members means better work-life balance for each sitter, which directly translates to better care for your cat. Our sitters are calm, present, and prepared to tackle any challenges that may arise. We’ve also found that cats—especially shy or anxious ones—respond beautifully to the consistent care routines we’ve developed. As their circle of trusted caregivers grows, so does their comfort and confidence.
🐈Training and Oversight You Can Trust 🐈⬛
At Slow Blinks, consistency and individualized care are our top priorities.
Every Cat Care Specialist is:
🧡Fully trained
🧡 Insured for liability
🧡 Certified in Cat and Dog First Aid through the American Red Cross
✨ Our training program is thorough and includes:
Virtual lessons on using Time to Pet (our client portal and communication system)
Instruction on cat body language, stress signs, and gentle handling
Emergency preparedness protocols
Onboarding into our team communication and scheduling systems
Once a sitter completes their online training, they shadow me for three in-person visits to ensure they meet our standards and can confidently deliver care at the Slow Blinks level.
🐾The Power of a Team:
Safety, Communication, and Backups 🐾
One of the greatest benefits of a care team is our built-in backup system. Life is unpredictable, but with a well-trained team, your visits won’t be canceled or compromised due to an emergency or illness.
We use Time to Pet for:
🧡 Centralized care instructions and updates
🧡 Visit reports, photos, and videos
🧡Communication that’s accessible even when you’re overseas or without cell service
This system ensures continuity of care and clear communication, without draining your phone battery or data. Our internal messaging system allows us to share important updates about your cat in real time, creating seamless handoffs and a consistent experience regardless of which team member visits. Multiple trained eyes mean we can often spot behavioral or health concerns before they become emergencies, and address them proactively.
😺 A Premium Experience, Even During Peak Times 😺
With a team in place, we’re able to offer services even during peak travel seasons without turning away loyal clients. When last-minute needs arise, we’re ready to step in and provide the exceptional care you expect. You won’t be left scrambling.
✨ Experience the Team Difference ✨
🐾 Having a professional care team means we can continuously learn, implement proven strategies, and support each other to deliver the best possible care, every single time. We invite you to experience the Slow Blinks difference. Whether it’s for a busy day, a night out, or your next big trip, book us for a single visit and see the calm, comforted smile on your cat’s face.
