About Ida & Travis A.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
We know every pet is different and truly has their own personality. We let kitties learn to trust us on their own time, but with plenty of treats as appropriate. We also know the importance of cleanliness and prompt litter box attention and management!
Information Ida & Travis A. would like to know about your pet
Personality, anxiety, any special medications or likes/dislikes in terms of food or treats, whether visit times are flexible, if other people will be visiting the home during the booking period.
A typical day
We take cues from the pets we are watching! We love to take energetic dogs on long walks. For cats, string toys, scratches, and brushing are all on the table depending on their particular needs.

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
Wonderful communication, I felt like my kitty was in great hands! Thank you!
Ida and Travis were amazing to work with! They sent tons of cute photos of my cats, were the best communicators, and even left my home cleaner than they found it. They were very attentive to learning about my cats' needs and managing challenges like my sticky front door key. I'd definitely use them again!
Travis is a thoughtful cat sitter, who bonded really nicely with each of our 3 cats and took great care of them. Travis diligently did the food, water, and litter tasks. The daily updates were great! I'm really grateful.
Ida & Travis did such a great job watching my senior cat Lou! They were very attentive, followed all instructions carefully, and clearly spent quality time hanging out with him instead of just stopping by quickly. I especially loved all of the photos and detailed narrated updates. It made me feel really comfortable knowing how he was doing while I was away. Lou seemed happy and well cared for when I got home. I will absolutely book with them again!
