Cat Boarding That Feels Like a Staycation
At Becky’s Cat Services in Placerville, CA, we know that cats need more than food and water while you're away—they need a quiet space, a routine, and someone who actually understands how to care for them. Our cat-only boarding service is designed with your feline’s comfort in mind. No barking dogs. No busy kennels. Just calm, individualized care from people who know cats.
Why Leaving Cats Home Alone Isn’t Always Best
It’s tempting to think your cat will be fine while you're away. After all, they’re independent, right? But automatic feeders and litter robots can’t replace real human attention. They won’t notice if your cat stops eating. They can’t administer medication. And they definitely can’t give a nervous kitty the comfort of a soft voice or a reassuring hand.
Cats are creatures of habit. When their routine is thrown off by your absence, they may act out or shut down. Some overgroom. Some hide. Others stop using the litter box or go days without eating. If anything goes wrong while you're away, it could be days before anyone notices.
A Bad Boarding Experience Can Stress Cats Out
Not all boarding facilities are created equal. Many are designed with dogs in mind, then just "make room" for cats. Loud barking, strong smells, and high-energy environments can leave your cat overwhelmed or scared.
Even well-meaning pet sitters might miss the signs of stress or illness in cats. And without proper training, handling special needs cats or administering meds can be risky. If your cat has anxiety, medical needs, or a strong dislike for change, boarding them in a busy, non-cat-friendly space can lead to lasting stress—and possibly health issues.
Cat-Only Boarding With Personalized Attention
That’s why we created a boarding space just for cats. At Becky’s Cat Services, our boarding setup is calm, quiet, and completely dog-free. Each cat gets their own space, cozy bedding, clean litter, and plenty of attention. No shared cages, no group play, and no loud, unfamiliar animals nearby.
We offer:
Private cat enclosures
Daily litter box cleaning and fresh food/water
Gentle interaction and observation
Oral and topical medication administration (included)
Special diets and feeding routines
Optional quiet care for anxious cats
We do not board diabetic cats, but we’re happy to handle other medical needs—including administering meds—at no extra cost. All cats must have current rabies and feline distemper vaccinations. Proof is required before your cat can board with us.
Special Needs and Quarantine Boarding
Some cats require a little extra care, and we’re ready to provide it. If your cat has anxiety, immune sensitivities, or behavioral challenges, let us know. We’ll go over their needs before booking to ensure it’s a good fit.
We also have a separate, secure quarantine area for cats who require medical isolation. This service is only available with documentation and a consult from your veterinarian. Our goal is to create a low-stress, high-comfort environment—even for the cats that need a little extra help.
Every cat’s stay is personalized. We take the time to learn your cat’s routine, quirks, and preferences. Whether they want to hide in a cozy bed or get some chin scratches while they eat, we meet them where they are.
