Pet care experience

Care for your cat like my own 🫡

I’ve basically grown up with cats. I’ve had 13 over my life, and seven of them still live at my parents’ home. I got my first cat when I was five, so caring for cats just feels natural to me. I’m comfortable giving meds, grooming, and keeping an eye out for small changes in behavior or health. My cat Mochi has been living with me for five years. He has some ongoing organ issues, so I'm very hands-on and prompt when it comes to care. I live in a quiet apartment, and I'm home six days a week, so your cat will have a calm space and plenty of attention.

The Best Cat Sitter Ever! I cannot recommend Nafis and Nowreen enough! From the very first meeting, it was clear that they genuinely love cats and treats every furry guest like their own. They were incredibly patient with our shy cat, giving them all the time they needed to feel comfortable. They never rushed the process and even took the time to explain me cat behaviours and what they might be feeling, which really put our minds at ease. Every day, without fail, Nafis sent us photos and updates, so we always knew how our cats were doing. It was such a comfort that. They made sure our cats felt safe and loved. We were also so touched by how well they accommodated they. They accommodate our cats on their own private room where they could settle in peacefully, and it was clear they were receiving top-notch attention. And we can’t forget sweet Mochi, their own cat, who was so gentle and friendly. It showed us just how much love and care exists in their home. Nafis went above and beyond in every way. He is patient, kind, communicative, and truly understands cats. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your little furry one like family, look no further. We are so grateful to have found them!

We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our cat, Max, during our two-week trip. From the very beginning, they were incredibly communicative and made us feel at ease. They sent us regular updates with plenty of photos and videos, which meant so much while we were away. It was obvious from every update that Max was not only being looked after but was genuinely cared for. They followed every instruction we left, kept us informed about how he was eating, playing, and settling in, and spent quality time interacting with him instead of just stopping by for the basics. Max looked completely relaxed, happy, and comfortable with them. Seeing him playing, exploring, and getting so much attention gave us complete peace of mind. What stood out most was how much they genuinely cared about Max’s well-being. They treated him like he was their own, and that level of care is priceless when you’re trusting someone with your pet. We came home to a very happy, healthy, and well-loved cat, and we couldn’t be more grateful. We would absolutely book with them again without hesitation and highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, and trustworthy to look after their pet. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Max!

Nafis took such wonderful care of my cat, Maloos, while I was away. It was very clear that Nafis treated him with genuine love, patience, and care the entire time. He made sure Maloos was well fed, comfortable, and happy, and I really appreciated the regular updates and photos he sent me. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my cat was in such caring hands. When I came back, Maloos was calm, relaxed, and clearly very well looked after. I truly appreciate Nafis’s kindness, reliability, and attention to detail. I would absolutely trust him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and dependable cat sitter.

Nafis was such a joy to board my cat Ori with! He always kept me updated with pictures, letting me know how Ori is doing. Finding a sitter who is trustworthy and reliable is quite hard, and I feel very fortunate to have met Nafis. If Nafis is available in the future, I will for sure be taking Ori to him!

10/10 would recommend over and over again! He has babysat my cat Sushi before, and he did it with none other than love and care. Meals were given on time with updates if he was showing any change of behaviour. I could tell by petting him when I was back that his fur was regularly brushed. His small habits like drinking running tap water was not ignored by this responsible and amazing caregiver. Overall, my Sushi was in perfect health and shape at his supervision.

I know Nafis for many years as a responsible and loving pet dad. He has always been loving and kind towards animals and ensures the needs of his pets are met even when it comes at great inconvenience for him. He is level headed in emergencies and knows how to tackle difficult situations with ease. I would trust him to babysit my pet with no worries.

Schedule

A typical day with the pets is calm, attentive, and fun in a very cat-appropriate way. The day starts with feeding, check-ins, and some gentle play or cuddles. Throughout the day, there are play breaks, window watching, and relaxed lounging while I do my research nearby. In the evenings, pets usually hang out with me while I have dinner and watch something easy like The Office or Pluribus. Later, there’s more interactive play to help them burn off energy before bed, followed by quiet time with music or an audiobook in the background and lots of companionship. It’s a steady, low-stress routine that keeps cats comfortable, entertained, and never lonely.

Safety, trust & environment

Living with cats has made me very aware of all their little antics, so I set up my space with that in mind. I don’t leave plastic, hair ties, or other tempting things lying around because cats will absolutely find them. I'm very cautious with doors since some cats are escape artists. Before leaving, I unplug and secure all wires, check that bathroom, closet, and cabinet doors are closed, and do a quick headcount to make sure I know exactly where the cats are. I also make sure they get plenty of playtime to help burn energy before sleep, plus morning cuddles and affection whenever they want. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on keeping things calm, safe, and very cat-friendly.
