JULY 2025 UPDATE: unfortunately due to injury, I've made the difficult decision to pause catsitting for the time being. Thanks to all my clients for your understanding, I hope to see your cats again after I recover!

Hi there, I'm a university professor who teaches music production in Berlin. Pawshake is an outlet for me to do something else that I love: hanging out with cats!

I'm originally from the US, but have been living in Berlin since 2006.

I have lived with cats for most of my life, so I have many years of experience taking care of them. I would be happy to visit your home once a day to make sure your cat(s) doesn't get lonely while you're away. In addition to feeding and taking care of the litter box, I will spend some quality time including playtime if they are interested! 

Daily home visits run from 30 minimum to 45 minutes, depending on schedule.

I will be happy to send photos of your furry friend(s), so you can still feel connected to them while you're away. 

Some relevant skills:

- Can name 5 films with 'cat' in the title at the drop of a hat

- Working knowledge of several Purr-ish dialects

- Pawsitive attitude (sorry I had to)

Any questions, feel free to get in touch!

WORKING AREA: I am working within 20 minutes travel time by bike/train from U8 Schönleinstraße station (I live one block from there). If you live slightly beyond this distance, you can still message me and I may be able to help, but it will depend on my current schedule.

COVID status: received latest booster in September 2024

PREVIOUS CLIENTS: My rates were increased in October 2022 to be in line with Germany's new minimum wage after Pawshake takes their 19% :)
