Jerusalem specifics
Jerusalem winters are colder than on the coast, and older stone apartments can be chilly. Leave instructions on heating and blankets, especially for senior cats. Many buildings have stairs and shared entrances, so show the sitter all doors and codes at the meet-and-greet.
We cover neighbourhoods across the city, including Rehavia, the German Colony, Talbiya, Baka, Katamon and Beit HaKerem.
Medication
Tablets or drops add 30 ₪ per visit and injections, such as insulin, add 50 ₪, always exactly as your vet prescribes. Sitters do not make medical decisions.
Holidays
Jerusalem is busy over the autumn holidays and Passover, and on Yom Kippur many sitters do not drive. Book early and agree how Yom Kippur visits will work, for example with a sitter within walking distance.
Example
A 7-day trip with one healthy adult cat and one visit a day: seven visits at 110 ₪ minus 10%.
A note on keys
In Jerusalem many owners leave a key with a neighbour or family member. That works well; tell us the arrangement and the sitter will collect the key before the first visit and return it as agreed. Keys are always handled responsibly and never labelled with your address.
