How It Works
Introducing Time To Pet — the way you'll stay connected to your cat while you're away.
You know that feeling. You're three hours into a flight, or halfway through a work dinner, and a small thought taps you on the shoulder: did they make it to the visit yet?
You shouldn't have to wonder. You shouldn't have to wait for a reply to a text you sent twenty minutes ago, hoping your sitter has a free second to answer.
We'll keep you in the loop.
From "I Hope Everything's Fine"
to "I Can See Everything's Fine"
Before, staying updated meant a text here, an email there — useful, but only when someone had a moment to send it.
Now, the moment your visit is complete, you'll know. A note. A photo. A timestamp. Sent the second your sitter walks out the door — not later.
That's Time To Pet: a private app and online portal built specifically for cat and pet care businesses, and now, part of how we care for your cat.
With your Time To Pet Client Portal, you can update pet and personal information, request services, view schedules, invoices, and more. Giving you peace of mind knowing your cat is well cared for.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Time To Pet Works With Our Cat Sitting
What is Time To Pet, and why does Whiskers At Home use it?
Time To Pet is a secure app and online portal built specifically for pet care businesses. We use it to give every client real-time visibility into their cat's care — visit updates, photos, messaging, scheduling, and payments, all in one place, instead of scattered across texts and emails.
Will I get updates during every visit?
Yes. The moment your sitter completes a visit, you'll receive a note and photos — not a summary days later, just what actually happened, when it happened.
Do I need to download an app, or can I use it in a browser?
Whichever you prefer. The mobile app and the browser portal give you identical access, so you can use whichever fits how you already manage things day to day.
Can I request or adjust visits through Time To Pet?
Yes. You can request future visits and manage upcoming bookings directly through the app or portal, on your own schedule — no need to wait for office hours.
Is my information secure?
Yes. Your cat's care details, contact information, and payment information are stored securely within Time To Pet's encrypted system, accessible only to your care team.
How do payments work?
Invoicing is tied directly to your scheduled visits, so your bill reflects exactly what was booked. You can review and pay invoices securely right from the app or portal.
Do you offer this for cat sitting clients across all your service areas?
Yes — every Whiskers At Home client in Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond, Mercer Island, Mill Creek, and Bothell gets full access to Time To Pet as part of our premium cat sitting service, at no difference in setup or access based on location.
What if I run into trouble logging in or using the app?
Reach out to us directly and we'll walk you through it — this is meant to make things easier, not to be one more thing you have to figure out alone.
How is this different from how most pet sitters communicate with clients?
Many pet sitters rely on texts or emails sent whenever there's a free moment — useful, but not always timely. Time To Pet gives our Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond, Mercer Island, Mill Creek, and Bothell clients real-time updates the moment a visit wraps, so you're never left wondering.
