Mark can care for

Cats

Availability

Both Mark and Devon work from home, and can be flexible with timing. Generally we do our mid-week drop-ins during the early morning or dinner time, but we can squeeze in afternoons if needed. Both Devon and Mark will attend the meet and greet, and after that we may drop-in together or separately to check on your baby. But either way you can expect the same level of attentive care. We'll be sure to take good note of your regular routine with your cat, and follow it to a T, because we know consistency is important especially when you're away. We're honored to be trusted to care for your cat while away, so we'll be sure to give them all the love they deserve and attend to their unique needs. Booking with us: Contact us through the app - and we'll reply ASAP. At this time, we're only looking to attend to our feline friends local to the Marlborough MA area.

Safety, trust & environment

While caring for your cat in your home, you can feel confident that we'll follow your routine and attend to the individual needs of your pet. We're patient and gentle and will take the time needed to make sure your cat is comfortable with us during our visit. We'll offer play time, and snap lots of photos for your to view while away. We're very responsive, so don't hesitate to reach out with questions or concerns, or just to reply to an adorable picture. As mentioned, we had a cat that required special medical attention so we're very comfortable giving cats pills and other oral medications, as well as topical creams (wherever needed), as well as shots. We value your trust in us to care for your pet very highly, and will be sure to give them the care they deserve. For our cuddly cats, we'll be sure to offer a snuggle. For our playful cats, we'll offer time with toys -- string, laser, catnip -- let us know their favorite. For our shyer cats, we'll approach gently to help gain their trust.

Information Mark D. would like to know about your pet

Be sure to let us know about your cat's personality and how they typically respond to new people. Fill us in on all the details of your routine so we can sure to keep the consistency in your home. And of course let us know if there are any special requests or medical needs, so we can give them the proper care.

Expert "Cat Nurse" duo. Cat Lovers

Pet care experience

Hello there! We're Mark and Devon, a husband and wife duo who LOVE cats. We've got two cats of our own currently, Nova and Nox, who are spunky little balls of energy. We also spent an amazing 17 years with another cat, Lucy, who we lost in Fall 2025, she required daily medication (pills, creams, liquids) for 10 years of her life. So we'd like to say we're pretty experienced "cat nurses", and we know how difficult it can be to find someone to properly care for your furry friend while you're away. We want to help provide others with worry free vacations -- you enjoy your time away we'll take care of your cat <3 Devon, grew up with 2 cats and a dog (plus a slew of other animals), and Mark grew up in a dog family but has quickly been converted to a cat lover since having several of his own. Devon also works in the pet health industry, researching fresh food, the animal microbiome, and dietary supplements to help better the lives of our animal companions. A full-time pet lover both on and off the job.
