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 a cat of our own (15 years old), who has required daily medication (pills, creams, liquids) for over 7 years now. 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 one 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.
Reviews
Mark was very good looking after our cat, Mac. He sent us pictures each time he visited and made sure that Mac was well looked after and got enough playtime and attention, as well as taking care of his litter box and giving him some treats. We would definitely recommend Mark to other people and will be using him again to watch Mac.
Thanks so much Mark! We are very glad we can leave our cat in your care - we come home to a happy cat and our time away is better because we know everything’s in good hands.
I feel so lucky to have found Mark & Devon! They are wonderful with my shy cat Teddy and send me detailed notes and photos from the visits. I know he is in good hands and I don't worry when I am traveling. I highly recommend them!
Mark and Devon are the BEST! They check all the boxes and more! We are truly lucky to have them as our cat’s caretaker.

Availability
Devon works from home and will be handling most mid-week bookings, while on the weekend Devon and Mark plan to work bookings together. But whether we come together or separate you can expect the same level of attentive care. We'll be sure to take good note of your regular routine with your pet, 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 pet 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. Devon works from home and has more flexibility in her schedule. Mark is available in the evenings and weekends to help with bookings. At this time, we're mainly looking to attend to our feline friends. However, weekend dog inquires (walking & drop-ins) will also be considered.
