Capitol Hill cat lovers 🐈⬛🐈
Pet care experience
We both have volunteered with, fostered, and owned a variety of animals, including cats, dogs, frogs, and ferrets, and have a particular soft spot for kitties. Ida also has experience socializing feral street cats. As a couple, we have both fostered and had cats of our own, including those with special medical needs. For cats, we are both experienced with liquid medication and pill administration as well as picky eaters on a variety of diets. We have catsit and dogsat for friends, family, and neighbors on an as-needed basis for years, and are now happy to do so regularly! We both have a flexible work schedule and can plan around any necessary food or medication schedules. We understand the importance of routine and following instructions for each pet to make sure they are as comfortable as possible, even without their parents around. This account is mainly managed by Ida, and both of us will be available to check on your pet separately or together. For new clients, we are currently only accepting cats and smaller dogs.
Reviews
Ida and Travis were outstanding. Great communication, detailed reports, plenty of photos and followed all the instructions. We came home to a very spoiled and happy Sardine. Thank you!!!
Great communication! Highly recommended.
Another great cat sitting experience with Ida and Travis! Really appreciate the reports and photos they send, making it easier to be away from home.
So happy to have Ida and Travis looking in on my kitties. They can be a little complicated, and Ida + Travis handled them with such care and excellent communication.
