Companion Keepers Cat Sitting Service

Pet Sitter

Companion Keepers was started out of our own need for pet care as frequent travelers. At a time when professional pet sitting was not widely available, we relied on family and friends to care for our Persian cat Delilah. At times this arrangement worked well, but at others it didn’t. As cat lovers recognizing the need for reliable pet sitting with a cat’s special needs in mind, Companion Keepers started in 1994 by Martin and Leah Burt in San Antonio, Texas.

We are “cat people” with cats as cherished family members. Combined with professional sitting experience, we are tuned-in to the subtle cues cats give reflecting their state of well being. While a well meaning friend or neighbor can tend to food, water, and freshen the litter box, would they recognize the early warning signs of stress or illness in your cats while you are away? Building a personal loving bond and getting to know your cats as individuals is key to their health and well-being and key to a great cat sitting experience. Read more

    If you are looking for a cat sitter that LOVES cats, look no further! I have four (yes four) kitties, Simon, Sophie, Gracie and Oliver and they are all loved by Rosemary and Leah! It is such a relief to have a sitter that truly cares about my babies they way I do - I know without a doubt they are safe, well fed & watered and well looked after with Companion Keepers. And...I love the personal notes after each visit - it makes me feel less guilty for being out of town!

    I used Companion Keepers Cat Sitting for the year that I lived in San Antonio, and there is no one else I would trust more to take care of my cats. Leah and Rosemary are reliable, conscientious, organized, and truly care for my cats as if they are their own. Leah was extremely thorough during the meet and greet visit, and I knew she was capable of handling any household/pet emergency that might arise while I'm traveling. I appreciated getting the text and photo updates after each visit, and I could see that they were happy, loved, and well-cared for. Raylan doesn't come out for most people (he is very selective!), but he would greet Rosemary. She even went the extra mile leaving a homemade cat toy with catnip for him! It is still his favorite toy :) They far exceeded my expectations, and I would highly recommend this cat sitting business to anyone with kitty family members!

    Rosemary and Leah are absolutely the best cat sitters I have ever used. I'm in the Army so I move around a lot and have to find new cat sitters every time I move. Companion Keepers is by far the best in-home cat service I have found in over 20 years of service with cats by my side. Leah was very thorough asking me about every potential problem even things that had not occurred to me before which demonstrates how much she cares about cats. She and Rosemary sent daily texts and photos of my cats which reassured me that they were well taken care of. Leah even made a special trip, free of charge, on one occasion to look for one of my cats when Rosemary had not seen him for a couple of days. My cats are great at hiding and two of them are quite shy so often cat sitters never see them at all. My cats are also big fans of Rosemary's homemade cat toys which she generously makes for all of their customers. I highly recommend Companion Keepers Cat Sitting!

    Leah and company at Companion Keepers know all about cats. They have taken care of my cats many times, and I feel easy leaving knowing that my elderly babies are getting such good care!
