About having a cat though I go back to Japan temporarily every year.

Greetings

I am posting because I am wondering about keeping a cat in the U.S. and was wondering if anyone currently has one or is familiar with the information.

I would like to have a cat, but I go back to Japan temporarily for 2 weeks every year.
I had not actually planned to have a pet, thinking about the furlough, but
I have always wanted to live with a cat, and now that my son has been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and I know that living with a cat would have a very positive effect on him, I am seriously considering getting a cat now.
Most importantly, my son also loves cats.

What do cat owners do when they leave their homes for long periods of time? ？

If you have left your cat with someone you know, please let us know if there are any precautions or problems that have occurred.
If you have ever stayed at a pet hotel, please let us know the location and the rate （ I have looked at various websites, but many of them do not know the rate … I have the impression that there are not many hotels to begin with ）
If you are looking for a hotel in BibiNavi, please let us know the daily rate. …

I would like to be well prepared to pick up a guest, but I have little information about what to do if I am away from home for a long time …
By the way, my house is a townhouse （. I don't know if this is relevant, but … ）

If anyone has any information, I would appreciate it.

I had a cat for 5 years and she passed away 2 years ago.
I used to go back to Japan for two weeks every year and used a cat sitter. I have two Google cameras in my apartment, so I can always observe the cats and the cat-sitter's movements. The hourly rate for the cat sitter was about $ 30, and I asked her every two days to do a job that took about an hour, including feeding, litter care, playing, and cat watching videos. I found a website to find a cat sitter. Pet hotels are not an option for cats, as keeping them in a cage for a long period of time in an unfamiliar environment can be stressful for them, so it was not an option from the beginning. In the case of my acquaintance, it may not be convenient, so I think a cat sitter would be the most secure, safe, and convenient.
