Top cities for cat sitting in The Netherlands

Many cat owners will understand that cats can be fussy and prefer their own home environment rather than an unfamiliar place like a cattery or cat hotel. Although some cats can adapt to cat boarding if they have to, most cats become stressed when transported somewhere new.

This is where a friendly Zwolle Pawshake cat feeder or carer can help. Our Zwolle cat sitting expert can come and visit your cat while you are away on holiday or at work. A cat sitter can even stay overnight if required, which is far less stressful than sending your feline friend to a cattery for cat boarding. Whether you just need a sitter for a couple of hours or someone to visit each day for a week, our Zwolle cat sitters can tailor their service to suit you and please even the fussiest kitty.

Although most cats are independent, having a cat carer visit has a lot of benefits. Your chosen Pawshake cat sitter can feed, freshen up the water bowl, tidy the litter tray, and spend quality time with your cat. And unlike a cattery or cat hotel, your cat can chill out in their own familiar space.

Finally, every booking with Pawshake is with a verified carer and includes the Pawshake Guarantee and veterinary coverage, so you have nothing to worry about when it comes to your feline companion!

Spending time with animals has always been a source of peace and happiness for me. In my daily life, I am calm, responsible, and attentive. I am currently pursuing a master’s degree, which has helped me develop strong time management and communication skills. These qualities make me reliable and organized when it comes to caring for animals and keeping owners informed. Outside of my studies, I enjoy going for walks, spending time in nature, and reading — activities that allow me to stay patient and present, which I believe animals appreciate.Through Pawshake, I would love to care for pets and provide them with a safe, loving, and relaxed environment. I understand how important trust and consistency are for both pets and their owners. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or simply offering companionship, I always make sure animals feel comfortable, secure, and cared for at all times.Sincerely,Cansu

I truly love cats. Always have. Even though I work in tech, spending time with animals brings me the kind of joy and calm that nothing else does. I started pet sitting in 2018, and since then I’ve cared for many cats: from majestic Maine Coons, Chausies and other large breeds to mixed-breed cats, and shy rescues. Friends kept recommending me to others, and it naturally grew into something more. Over the years, I’ve worked with cats across different regions of the Netherlands and in several EU countries, adapting to many types of homes, temperaments, and routines.
I’m based in Zwolle, but for pet sitting bookings of two days or longer, I’m available to travel to other cities and regions within the Netherlands, and sometimes to other EU countries.
I only work with cats in their own homes. Unlike dogs, cats are extremely sensitive to change. Every move or unfamiliar space can be a major source of stress, even for a short stay. That’s why I believe it’s best for them to stay in their familiar environment, surrounded by their own scents, routines, and safe spots. I never force interaction. I give cats the time and space they need to come to me. I follow their daily rhythm closely: from feeding and playtime to medication schedules, and I pay close attention to their body language.
I’m experienced in giving medications gently, without stress. No force, no pills shoved into the throat. I usually mix them with familiar treats or use other calm and respectful techniques that work for the individual cat. Comfort and trust always come first.
I love creating gentle rituals, watching Cat TV together, and coming up with enriching games that support mental stimulation. If a cat shows interest, I introduce light training through positive reinforcement and clicker techniques, but I never force it. It’s always a fun, rewarding activity that feels like a game, not a task. Some cats love learning new things like giving a paw, walking figure-eights, or jumping on command. The goal is never obedience, but joyful interaction that keeps their minds sharp and spirits up.
I’ve completed courses in Animal Psychology and Pathophysiology of Domestic Animals, with a focus on observing behavior and detecting stress or health issues early. I also have experience with senior cats and those with anxiety, including my own.
I only work with vaccinated cats, specifically vaccinated against neusziekte (cat flu) and rabies. This is for the safety of your own pet as well as mine. I do not host animals at my place. I offer short daytime visits while you're at work. I’m a quiet guest, respectful of your space, and I never bring anyone with me &amp; sending you photo &amp; video reports frequently. I never leave pets alone for more than 3 hours, and I’m happy to care for your plants too, if needed.
One of the most special bonds I’ve had was with Tima, a 17-year-old senior cat I cared for regularly over the course of several years. Wise, dignified, and full of quiet presence, he left a lasting impression not only on me, but on everyone who knew him. His story has been mentioned in multiple books, and most recently, an Amsterdam-based writer dedicated an entire book just to him. A true feline legend.
If you're looking for someone who truly understands cats: their moods, their silence, and their rules – I’d be happy to help.&nbsp;
And if you’re not looking for sitting services but would love to learn how to train your cat yourself, I’d be happy to support you as well. We can set up a remote video session where I’ll explain the methodology step by step and help you build a fun, respectful, and personalized training plan for your cat.


Hi! Ik ben Marieke, een sportieve wiskundelerares die erg van zeilen, squashen, Frankrijk, muziek en dus ook van dieren houdt. Als kind ben ik opgegroeid met een hond, daarna heb ik zelf een hele lieve kat gehad en over een paar weken krijg ik weer kat! Ik ben dus geen hondenmens of kattenmens, gewoon allebei!&nbsp;
Ik woon inmiddels ruim 5 jaar in Holtenbroek. Hier woon ik met twee huisgenoten. Ik ben geduldig met dieren en heb respect voor de gewoontes die u zelf met uw huisdier heeft. Ik ben hier flexibel in en neem gerust uw gewoontes over.
Verder ben ik nog herstellende van een hersenschudding. Wandelen is daar goed voor, maar alleen wandelen is niet zo mijn ding. Met uw hond wordt het vast gezelliger! Een extra reden om toch even dat rondje te lopen is bovendien niet verkeerd.
Verder is mijn andere motivatie een extraatje verdienen voor een vriendin die een vakantie verdient. Ik heb een vakantiepotje waar ik dit soort opbrengsten in doe, dus indirect is het een soort van goed doel! :)&nbsp;
Wie weet tot snel!
