Cat Sitting Services in the Springfield area and Sedalia
Cat Sitting Visits
Cats thrive in the comfort of their own home, surrounded by familiar sights, scents, and routines. Our in-home cat sitting services are designed to meet the unique needs of your feline friends, ensuring they receive personalized care while you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, peaceful companionship, or providing fresh food and water, we tailor each visit to what your cat loves most.
Starting at $32!
We offer 30, 45, & 60-minute visits to fit your schedule and your cat’s needs, with a minimum requirement of one visit per day to ensure their well-being. A 30-minute visit allows for additional playtime, brushing, or snuggles to keep your cat happy and engaged. For cats needing extra attention or those with more complex routines, a 60-minute visit offers extended care, from medication administration to longer games with the feather toy.
As part of every service, we’ll also handle light household tasks like watering plants, collecting mail, and alternating lights to ensure your home stays secure and maintained—all included at no extra cost. Each visit is thoughtfully planned to keep your cat’s daily rhythm intact, giving you peace of mind while you’re away.

Why should you hire a local professional cat sitter?
Home Is Where Cats Thrive
Cats are creatures of habit. Staying in their own space means familiar scents, favorite perches, and routines that keep stress to a minimum while you’re away.
Care, on Their Terms
From meals and medications to playtime (or respectful distance), every visit is shaped around your cat’s unique preferences and personality.
Fear Free, Always
Our team is Fear Free trained, so we focus on calm, low-stress care that keeps your cat feeling safe, secure, and respected during every visit.
Visits That Fit Your Life
Whether you’re traveling or just out for the day, we offer flexible scheduling that slips easily into your routine.
Dependable by Design
You can count on consistent, detail-oriented care from a professional team—not a guessing game or last-minute solution.
Updates You Can Trust
Through the Time to Pet app, you’ll receive real-time updates and photos during each visit, so you always know how your cat is doing.
True Peace of Mind
When your cat is cared for by trained, compassionate professionals, you’re free to relax—at work, on vacation, or anywhere in between.
A Watchful Eye on Your Home
We’ll collect mail, water plants, take out trash, and keep an eye on things—because great cat care includes caring for the space they love.
Because for cats, comfort is everything—and professional care makes all the difference.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is in-home cat sitting better than boarding for cats?
For most cats, yes. Cats are territorial animals who rely heavily on familiar scents, routines, and environments to feel safe. Boarding removes them from all of that and places them in a noisy, unfamiliar setting surrounded by other animals. In-home cat sitting keeps your cat in their own space — same perches, same smells, same schedule — which significantly reduces stress and anxiety while you're away. It's generally the lower-stress option for the vast majority of cats.
What does a Funky Bunch cat sitting visit include?
Every visit includes fresh food and water, litter box cleaning, playtime or companionship tailored to your cat's personality, and a photo update sent through the Time to Pet app so you can see how they're doing. We also handle light household tasks at no extra charge — watering plants, collecting mail, and alternating lights to keep your home looking lived-in. For cats with medications or more complex care routines, our 60-minute visit option gives us plenty of time to handle everything thoroughly.
How often will someone visit my cat while I'm away?
We require a minimum of one visit per day to ensure your cat's wellbeing. Depending on your cat's needs and your schedule, we offer 30-, 45-, and 60-minute visit options. Some cats do well with a single daily visit; others benefit from two. We're happy to help you figure out the right frequency during your meet and greet.
Can you administer medication to my cat during visits?
Yes. Medication administration is something we handle during cat sitting visits, particularly during our longer 60-minute visits which allow more time for cats with complex care routines. Be sure to note any medications and instructions when you set up your service so your specialist is fully prepared from day one.
Are your cat sitters insured and Fear Free certified?
Yes. Funky Bunch Pet Care is bonded and insured, and our entire team is Fear Free certified — the only pet care team with that distinction in both the Springfield and Sedalia markets. Our sitters are also certified in Pet First Aid and CPR. Fear Free training specifically equips us to recognize and reduce stress signals in cats, which means every visit is handled with the calm, low-pressure approach cats need.
