Highlights
Pet care experience
Heaven is a cat purring in your lap
I have taken care of cats my whole life and am extremely familiar with their body language and how to bond and take care of them. I love playing with cats, caring for them, bonding with them… I don’t even mind cleaning out the Litterbox at all (though I do have two litter robots at home). I’ve fostered cats for almost two decades and know how to get through to even the shyest cats and few things are more rewarding. I’ve also fostered kittens and adult cats of all ages from bottle fed, to „spicy“ feral, to rebellious teenager and loved every second. Getting a shy cat to finally be trusting of humans is one of the most rewarding things a person can do. I simply adore cats and would love to take care of anyone’s feline friend.

Safety, trust & environment
I have 3 very friendly dogs as well as two cats at home that get along well with whomever. I have extra dog beds, crates, leashes, and harnesses. I also have crates of various sizes that I can use at home or bring to clients homes. I have leashes and harnesses for small, medium, and large dogs. I also have dog beds for small, medium, and large dogs. I can supply my own dog bags and treats or use whatever you might prefer. As far as cats goes, I have two litter robots at home but am comfortable scooping regularly when pet sitting. I always clean up after myself and try to leave my client‘s homes better than I found them.
Ratings and reviews
Birger is a great sitter! I can tell that my cats love him, he is always really attentive to them and showers them with affection. He also sends the most lovely photos!
Birger was fantastic with Moana! He was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about her well being. He kept me updated throughout the walk and I felt completely at ease knowing she was in good hands. Moana came back happy. I would definitely book with him again and highly recommend him to other pet parents!
He spent a lot of time with our cat, playing with her and giving her a lot of scratches. He was very nice to her throughout and it was a relief to see that. He also sent many pictures of her everyday. Overall recommen him!
Birger was absolutely fantastic with our cat, Beast, during our trip. Beast can be a bit moody and selective with people, but Birger was so patient, sweet, and attentive that she really warmed up to his presence by the end of the stay — which for her is honestly a huge endorsement. 😂 He was incredibly responsive throughout the entire booking, sent thoughtful updates, and genuinely went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable, cared for, and loved while we were away. It gave us such peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. We’re beyond thrilled to have found such a reliable, communicative, and genuinely chill pet sitter here in Hell’s Kitchen. Cannot recommend Birger enough — book this guy!
Birger did a great job. He puts in the extra mile while pet sitting (long stays, really working to connect with your pet), and also communicating thoroughly with photos and detailed sitting descriptions. I'd hire Birger again for sure.
Awesome all around. Highly recommend.

Schedule
I am self-employed and currently pet sitting full time with an extremely flexible schedule that can work around literally whatever time you might need me to. Whatever hours you might need me to be available I can make work with my schedule, including night time and last minute walks or drop-ins.
