About Dilan S.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
In my household, pets could freely roam in a safe and secure environment (locked windows, away from stress factors. If I am going to pay a visit to the owner's home, I require a to-do list and I follow the directions. In both of the cases, I always keep updated the owners with the photos and situations as I know it's really hard to be away from our pets.
Home
Information Dilan S. would like to know about your pet
Although this section is again about the dogs, it is also closely related to the cats. For instance, some cats are really social and cuddly and some of them have kitten-habbits. Getting prior information about the cat guests' characteristics and routines is really important to provide them a comfortable home during their stay.
A typical day
Every pet, more specifically every cat has their own type of entertainment, so I ask these specifics beforehand. Activities during the day may change according to the guests' needs. Such as some cats need regular exercise and some of them aren't really interested in games at all.

Cat Lady, Animal Welfare Fighter, PhD in Genetics
Pet care experience
As a person who grew up among cats, I had my own cats and started taking care of my friends' cats in my early twenties. After I lost my senior cat four years ago, I started to work in the Animal shelter in Trondheim (Dyrebeskyttelsen Norge Sør-Trøndelag) and I've been a foster home until I moved to Oslo last year. However, the house I found in Oslo wasn't animal-allowed so I have just moved to a new flat in which I could have cat guests again. I enjoy meeting new cats, observing them, and realizing each one comes with a specific/unique character. I found the existence of the cats in the household relaxing. Unfortunately, I am not able to adopt one right now, it's a must to have a cat guest for me. Apart from my experience with cats, I have a PhD in genetics and work on understanding wild animals and their evolution. I have experience with social, anti-social, and aggressive cats. I value their private space a lot although they usually don't value mine (you can see my gallery). Cats <3

Reviews
Would 100% recommend - any cat lover would be lucky to have Dilan & her partner watch their furbaby!
I cannot recommend Dilan enough! I booked cat boarding for the first time through Rover and was a little nervous leaving my baby with someone new, but any worries disappeared almost immediately. Dilan and her partner were incredibly attentive and caring. They sent regular updates with photos and messages that honestly made me smile every time. It was so clear that Mochi was being treated like part of the family, not just guest. Mochi came home happy, healthy, and relaxed, which honestly says it all. If you're looking for someone who will truly love your cats while you're away, look no further! 🐱❤️
We’re so grateful to Dilan for taking such amazing care of our cat, Kitty, again - this time for three weeks! From the moment we dropped him off, we could tell Kitty felt right at home. Dilan and her partner gave him so much love, attention, and care, and it really shows how much they genuinely enjoys spending time with cats. We got regular updates and could see that Kitty was happy, relaxed, and totally spoiled! 😊 We couldn’t have asked for a better person to look after him. Thank you, Dilan, for making both us and Kitty feel so welcome!
Dilan is the absolute best!! She is like a cat whisperer, 100% reliable and sends us the best pictures and updates when we’re away.
