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
I’m deeply grateful for the wonderful, thoughtful and caring way Dilan and her partner took care of my beloved cat. From the start Dilan was really clear in her communication, providing exactly the right information I needed to feel comfortable and reassured from beginning to end. I recieved funny and caring messages throughout the stay and knew my cat was having a great time☺️ I can not recommend her enough, even if you are feeling a bit anxious about leaving your cat with someone new (like I was). Not only was the cat provided the best care but I was also met with empathy and understanding😌
I was extremely pleased with the service provided by Dilan! She sent daily updates with pictures, which really put my mind at ease. It was evident that she took great care of my cats, giving them love and attention while I was away. I feel very confident in using her services again in the future, and I would definitely recommend her to other cat owners. Thank you Dilan, for the wonderful job you did!
I highly recommend Dilan as a pet sitter. My cat Kitty was staying with Dilan for 5 days and I was extremely satisfied with the level of care and attention she provided to him. Dilan is reliable, trustworthy, and has a genuine love for animals. She went above and beyond to ensure that Kitty was happy and well taken care of. I was receiving updates and pictures few times per day and had complete peace of mind when I left my cat in her care. I would for sure use her services again.
I am beyond pleased with Dilan's pet-sitting service for our cat Hugo. Dilan's kindness, knowledge about pets, and the warm, welcoming atmosphere of her home made it a home away from home for Hugo. 🤍 Despite Hugo's shyness, he quickly bonded with Dilan.🥹🤍 They are the puurfect sitters, and I'll definitely return in the future 🤍🥀

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.
