Does an owner need to inform the cat sitter about CCTV cameras or recording devices in their home?

Unfortunately there is no easy answer to this question, as it depends on where you are and the laws of that particular country and region.

However, being a friendly community, we encourage cat owners to make pet sitters aware of any cameras or recording devices on their property during the Meet & Greet. This will give you, as a cat sitter, enough time to decline should you not feel comfortable being filmed.

We have included the question in our Meet & Greet Form so please be sure to ask the cat owner to fill it out for you.
