Cats
0 to 7 kg
7 to 18 kg
18 to 45 kg

Availability

We are students and currently not working full-time, which gives us a lot of flexibility in managing our schedule. This allows us to dedicate our time and attention to caring for animals with great responsibility. My partner, Arda, is not working at the moment and is therefore always available and flexible to help. I, on the other hand, work part-time a few days a week, especially on weekends, so during those times my availability is limited. However, Arda is always able to provide full support and ensure continuous care.

Safety, trust & environment

We live in a apartment together surrounded by trees and green spaces, perfect for relaxing walks with dogs. Our apartment has two rooms and kitchen & bathroom, enough to provide a comfortable environment for your pet.

Information Arda B. & Ilgin Y. would like to know about your pet

It is important for us to know if your pet has special needs, preferences or maybe particular health conditions. Information about feeding habits, allergies, medications or any fears helps us provide the best possible care and ensure your pet feels safe and secure with us.

A typical day

A typical day with your pet begins with a warm greeting ritual, followed by feeding and a walk for dogs. During the day, we ensure that your pet gets plenty of exercise and attention, whether through play, cuddles or simply relaxing together. We are always trying to be aware of the needs and preferences of your pet so that they feel completely comfortable.

Pet care experience

🇹🇷🇺🇸🇩🇪 Hello, we are Ilgın and Arda. We both share a passion for animals and have experience caring for various pets, two dedicated caregivers to ensure their happiness and safety. 📱 We regularly send photos and updates to keep you informed about your pet’s day. You can always reach us if you have any questions. 💡 Please note (Extra care & fees): • If your home is located more than 20 km away an additional €10/day will be added to the total. • If your dog requires more than 3 walks per day (4 or more), an additional €10/day applies due to the increased time and effort. • If your dog needs constant supervision (cannot be left alone for less than 2 hours), shows signs of separation anxiety or requires continuous attention, an additional €10/day will be added. We are always happy to care for your pet and we truly value open communication so that we can provide the best experience for both you and your animal companion 🐾 I am, Ilgın, 21 years old from Turkey and I have been living & studying in Germany since 2024 January. Since May 2019, I am a cat mom but my love for animals has been with me since childhood. I have experience with different types of animals and am passionate about the well-being of each one. I also speak English and Turkish, besides my mid-level German, which helps me communicate with pet owners from different countries. Arda is also from Turkey and is 22 years old. He has been living in Germany since 2024 April. He also cared for his own cat for a time, shares the same deep love for animals like me since his childhood. We always work as a team, offering double the attention, care, and love to your pet. We look forward to lovingly taking care of your pets and providing them with a second home while you’re away :)

Every time we travel, we book them again, they’re simply great! They take wonderful care of Ramy and Nefi, keep communication consistent, and send daily updates with pictures. It gives us real peace of mind, and we highly recommend them.

We sincerely trust Arda and Ilgin with watching our cat. They are quick to respond to messages and always send frequent updates when doing home visits. Our cat is known to be feisty, but they were able to care for her because of their experience with having cats of their own. We will definitely rebook their services in the future!

We couldn’t be happier with Arda & Ilgin. From the very beginning, their communication was consistent, warm, and reassuring—they stayed in touch with us every single day, which gave us complete peace of mind. Their genuine love for animals is obvious, and our cats took to them immediately. Coming home to relaxed, happy cats said everything. We highly recommend The Cat Stutters to anyone looking for dependable, caring, and truly dedicated pet sitters. They have earned our full trust, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. A full 100% recommendation from us.
