Cats
0 to 7 kg
7 to 18 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 :)

I came across the CatInaFlat through a friend and was pretty reluctant about letting a stranger in and relying on solely a review to take care of my one and only, but Ilgin and Arda are the most pleasant, honest and reliable people you’ll ever encounter. They took very good care of my cat, she was well fed and cared for, kept clean and playful even though it was 35 degrees outside.They even watered the plants! Best cat sitters I’ve ever had. I would give them 10 stars if it was possible.
