Access needs a clear handover
A working key, building entry and instructions for returning access can matter as much as the address. Confirm the arrangement directly and manage access information through a suitable secure process.
Software for cat sitting business owners
Make the visit agreement easy to find before the door opens.
Feeding, litter care and an agreed home check may share a visit, but they should not rely on assumptions. Confirm what the owner wants and use an appropriate animal-care process for detailed instructions. Microtra keeps the business agreement, schedule and invoice connected while you remain responsible for the care.

The everyday details
You know the work.
The admin adds up.
Several cats can mean different instructions
Feeding routines and how easily an animal is observed can vary within the same home. Clarify the service scope while keeping detailed care and health information in your appropriate professional records.
An owner?s travel plan can change
An earlier departure or delayed return can affect the agreed visits. Discuss changes directly and update the schedule so an informal message does not leave the business arrangement unclear.
How Microtra helps
Keep the business connected.
Use the tools that fit your day, with your records ready on your phone or on the web.
Keep the adult contact and service history
Save client contact details, billing preferences and invoices together. Use concise job notes for the agreed commercial service, with sensitive access and animal-care information managed through the process your business has chosen.
Explore this featurePlace each agreed visit on the schedule
Create jobs and appointments for the visits arranged with the owner. Assign staff where needed and check the plan yourself when travel dates change; recurring care visits are scheduled by you.
Explore this featureExplain the service on the invoice
Use items for the visits and approved extra services you actually provide. Review the quantity and agreed price, share the invoice PDF through your device and record payment already taken elsewhere.
Explore this featureTrack the cost of doing the rounds
Record business expenses, purchased supplies and agreed billable client costs with receipt photos. Review those costs alongside the work invoiced rather than judging the business only by the number of keys held.
Explore this featureKeep a team handover focused
If another sitter will handle a planned visit, assign the work to the responsible staff member and review the agreed commercial scope together. Use your separate care and access process to pass appropriate instructions securely. The business record should show who is handling the arrangement and what service was agreed, without implying that a staff assignment verifies care quality or confirms an animal?s wellbeing.

Questions from cat sitting business owners.
Does the cat-sitting setup include pet records?
The assigned Other setup starts with Job and Client, with linked records off. Enable them in Modules & terms before using linked records, and keep appropriate care documentation through your professional process.
Can Microtra give medication or health guidance?
Microtra does not assess an animal or provide veterinary instructions. Follow the owner?s agreed care plan and seek suitable professional advice for health questions rather than treating business notes as clinical guidance.
Will it prove that a sitter visited the property?
GPS tracking is not available in Microtra. Use the visit arrangement and communication process you agree with the client, without presenting a scheduled appointment as proof of attendance.
Can owners book future visits online?
Public online booking is coming soon. Confirm availability and care scope directly with the owner, then create the agreed work inside Microtra.
