In short. When your pet's needs fit no ready-made category, the "other pet service" option lets you describe them in your own words. In Tangier, Adom (adom.ma) and the AdomApp app (adomapp.com) connect you with a professional: free quote, payment after the service.
What goes into a request that gets useful answers
Whoever you are, five things make a request easy to answer. Say what you need in one plain sentence ("someone to let my cat out on the secured balcony" beats "help with animals"). Give the days and time windows, with some give if your week moves around. Write down the animal's routine: what it eats, what frightens it, what it must not be allowed to do. Spell out how to get in: floor, lift or not, door code, a key to collect. Last, expect a quote rather than a price list, because this service is quoted individually and the quote is free on AdomApp.
Of the five, access is the one that costs the most time on a first visit, so it deserves the most care.
Mrs Benchekroun and her two cats, up in Marchan
Mrs Benchekroun is retired and shares an older house with two cats. Marchan sits on high ground, with narrow streets and older villas. She does not want someone every day; she wants a visitor for the days she is away seeing family.
Her request spends most of its words on getting in: where to ring, who keeps the key, the hours the gate stays open. She adds that both cats are wary of strangers, and asks for a first meeting at home with whoever is chosen, so the cats can see them while she is there. Tangier looks out on the Strait of Gibraltar, with a Mediterranean side and an Atlantic side; none of that appears in her request, and none of it needs to. What helps the professional is the detail she gives about her own door.
Yassine, a student with a dog, in the Centre-ville
Yassine shares a flat in the Centre-ville with his dog. The buildings there are mixed, the district is very dense and parking is scarce, so someone arriving by car might have to leave it a little way off. He mentions that, along with the floor and the building name.
He is not looking for boarding or a regular walk. An exam, or a trip he did not plan, leaves the dog alone for a stretch, and he wants someone there for it. That is just what the free-text box suits. Yassine opens other pet service, writes about the dog, his timetable and the house rules at the door, and waits for offers to compare.
Where the line is drawn
This is not a veterinary service. Nobody diagnoses or prescribes through it, and if an animal looks sick or hurt, the vet comes first. Adom connects people and does not employ them. The person who comes is independent, so agree with them in advance exactly what they will and will not do.
For the wider picture, see the page on Adom in Tangier and the one on pet-sitting services in Tangier.

Frequently asked questions
When should I pick "other pet service" instead of a specific one?
When what you need is not a walk, not boarding and not any other listed category. Describe the situation in a few lines and professionals reply with their quotes.
What should I write to get good answers?
The species, its usual behaviour, your hours, a rough address, how to get into the home and the key instructions. The more concrete the request, the fewer messages back and forth.
Do the first answers come quickly?
First offers usually arrive within 24 to 48 hours, depending on the request. You compare, talk it over, then choose.
Can a professional treat my pet?
No. The service covers no medical act. If you are worried about your pet's health, contact a vet.
When do I pay?
After the service, once it has been carried out.
