Top cities for house sitting in The Netherlands

Are you going away but have a pet that prefers to stay in their own environment? Or perhaps you have a range of different animals and it’s not practical for you to organise for them to stay in different places? Then you might want to consider finding a Pawshake house sitter to come and stay at your Leens home while you are away.

House sitting is a convenient and affordable option when you have multiple pets and also want your house to be securely looked after while you are away. Many of our pet sitters have very reasonable house sitting rates because they enjoy staying and exploring different local neighbourhoods like Leens.

At Pawshake, we understand that trusting your home to a stranger can be a little daunting. So we’ve done all the hard work to ensure that your Pawshake house sitter is trustworthy and reliable. All our pet sitter profiles are checked individually by our dedicated trust and safety team and some house sitters also have their own police checks which they can share with you.

The best thing about engaging a Pawshake verified house sitter is that you can relax knowing that on top of being covered by The Pawshake Guarantee which includes veterinary coverage, so your pets are being cared for in a familiar environment and your Leens home is also being looked after as well. 

In addition to looking after your pets, most of our house sitters will happily help you by collecting your mail, taking out the bins, and watering your plants. Just make sure you discuss all your requirements with your chosen house sitter prior to booking.

I'm Leonie, 22 years old and from Germany. 
I do understand Dutch but am limited in my speaking skills. 
I'm studying psychology and as it's a full time studies, I'm studying a lot and am in class a lot. For that reason I want to get a balance in my life which I want to combine with dogs and going on a walk. I have always been in love with the nature and gods and wouldn't mind going with dogs for a long walk. I am an animal lover, in particular dogs. They show and feel emotions which is a comforting zone for me, personally. 
I live right at the Noorderplantsoen togehter with my boyfriend who has had a dog for his entire life. Started off with a German shepherd and now a Labrador (look at the last picture), but as every dutch citizen I do have a bike too so I would be able to get to places a little further. As I have already lived in Groningen for more than two years, I am quite familiar with this cute city and know good places on where to take the dog. 
I haven't had a dog myself but I walked and spent time with dogs of my friends and family (as seen in the attached photos) therefore I know what to look out for and how to take care of them. 
Preferably, I cant take your dog at my place because my landlord has his strict rules about that place. Generally, I don't mind whether the dog is vaccinated or not. 

Hi there, I'm Mercy, a university student living in the NL for almost 2 years now! Originally from Nigeria but living in Groningen. My experience is particularly in cat sitting but I'm open to other animals too.
My goal as a pet sitter is to ensure that every furry friend I care for feels safe, loved, and happy while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has its own unique personality and needs, which is why I take the time to get to know each one individually. Whether your pet loves to play, needs a lot of cuddles, or prefers quiet time, I tailor my care to match their preferences and ensure they are comfortable and content.
Currently, this is my main job as I am on school holidays, which means your pet will receive constant supervision and attention.  Your pet will be well-cared for and you can have peace of mind while you're away.

P.s during the summer last year, I also helped watch my boss' house for three weeks. As long as I'm provided with care instructions I'm confident I can take good care of your pet and house while you're away :)

Services I can offer:
Overnight stay at the pet's home: Does your pet prefer to be in his or her familiar environment? Then I can also spend the night at your home, so that I can keep an eye on things at night. I will also help with emptying the litter box and making sure your pet is well feed.

Walking service: As long as a leash is provided. We can stroll around Groningen city center, or to my favorite city park, Noordenplatsoon

House sitting service: Home visits, depending on the distance, I can drop by 2-3 times per day, for 30 minutes to 1 hour, watering the plants, and bringing in the mail are of course no problem.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions I'd be very happy to help .

Warm regards,
Mercy.


Hello, my name is Denis, and I moved to Groningen in 2023. Before relocating, I lived with my family and cared for our two beloved pets: Ice, a Golden Retriever, and Alfi, a British Shorthair cat. Moving to Groningen has been an exciting adventure, but I’ve found myself missing the companionship of Ice and Alfi dearly. This longing to be around animals again inspired me to become a pet sitter.
Over the years, I’ve developed a deep understanding of how unique each pet truly is. While many animals share similar behaviors, each one has its own distinct personality. I take pride in my ability to read and respond to their individual body language, ensuring they feel comfortable and secure. This skill has grown with time and experience, and I’m confident in my ability to provide personalized care for every pet I look after.
In addition to caring for my own pets, I spent about eight months living on a farmhouse, where I was responsible for taking care of various farm animals. Every morning, I would feed the chickens, goats, pigs, and cows, and I made sure their pens were clean and comfortable on a weekly basis. Although the work could be challenging, it was incredibly rewarding, and I cherished the sense of responsibility that came with knowing those animals depended on me.
I am no stranger to hard work and commitment, especially when it comes to animal care. I am eager to bring this dedication to my pet-sitting services in Groningen, where I can offer your pets the same level of care and attention that I gave to Ice, Alfi, and the animals on the farm.&nbsp;


(English below)
Ik woon in Groningen en ben derhalve in die omgeving beschikbaar om op te passen (in bezit van rijbewijs en auto). Ik kan langskomen om eten en aandacht te geven, te spelen en te knuffelen, kattenbakken schoonmaken etc. In sommige gevallen kan het ook bij mij thuis, maar ik werk doorgaans overdag wel op locatie (en dus niet thuis).
Ik hou erg van dieren maar kan ze zelf thuis niet (permanent) hebben, dus lijkt dit me een leuke manier om toch wat katten/honden/vogel/watdanooktijd te krijgen. Vroeger hadden we in ons gezin katten en vissen, maar ik heb ook ruime ervaring met honden. Ik ben graag buiten in de natuur, ik sport regelmatig, maar ik zit ook gaarne op de bank met een boek of een film of een kat op schoot of dat allemaal tegelijk! Ik spreek Nederlands, Engels en een klein beetje Duits, Frans en Spaans.
Doorgaans ben ik 's ochtends of 's avonds beschikbaar, ma-wo vóór 8 uur en na 17u, do-vrij vóór 10 uur en na 18 uur. Soms ben ik ook een hele dag beschikbaar, dat dan meestal in de eerste helft van de week (en zondag sowieso). Dit geldt zowel voor de huisbezoeken als voor huisoppas. Ik ben als huisoppas dus niet vaak werkelijk een hele dag beschikbaar, maar zal er buiten werk altijd zijn, dus gelijk als een werkend baasje. Als ik wel de hele dag beschikbaar ben, zal ik er ook daadwerkelijk de hele dag zijn.
Ik heb geen ervaring met medicatie toedienen/trainen/trimmen, maar met de juiste instructies is simpele medicatie en training mogelijk. Hetzelfde geldt voor dieren met een speciale "gebruiksaanwijzing", bijvoorbeeld angstig of heel druk. 
Wanneer ik langskom, doe ik dat voor minimaal 30 minuten, als mijn schema het toelaat kan dat ook langer. Hierbij geef ik de nodige/gewenste aandacht, spelen we, aaien en knuffelen en natuurlijk stuur ik foto's en hou ik het baasje van alles op de hoogte. Ook hou ik de omgeving schoon en ververs ik eten, water en kattenbakken. Eventueel kan ik extra klusjes doen zoals post verzamelen, planten water geven, tuinieren of de boekenkast categoriseren ;).
Uitlaten (wanneer beschikbaar) doe ik twee of drie keer per dag, minimaal een half uur, langer in overleg. Dit kan rustig aan of in galop (ik ben fit), met veel andere honden in de buurt of zonder, maar wel altijd aangelijnd zolang ik de hond nog niet goed ken. Liefst zoek ik hier wat natuur voor op, zoals het Noorderplantsoen of Stadspark.
Ik heb voor familie en vrienden, en samen met mijn vriendin ook via dit platform, al veel op katten en honden gepast.
Stuur me gerust een berichtje, ook als dat alleen voor een algemene vraag is!

&gt;&gt;
I live in Groningen and am therefore available to take care of pets in that area (I have a driver's license and a car). I can come by to give food and attention, play and cuddle, clean litter boxes, etc. In some cases this can also be done at my home, but I usually work on location during the day (and therefore not at home).
I love animals very much, but I can't have them (permanently) at home, so this seems like a nice way to get some cat/dog/bird/whatever time. We used to have cats and fish in our family, but I also have extensive experience with dogs. I like to be outside in nature, do sports regularly, but I also like to sit on the couch with a book or a movie or a cat on my lap or all of that at the same time! I speak Dutch, English and a little bit of German, French and Spanish.
I am usually available in the morning or evening, Mon-Wed before 8am and after 5pm, Thu-Fri before 10am and after 6pm. Sometimes I am also available for a whole day, usually in the first half of the week (and Sunday anyway). I have no experience with administering medication/training/trimming, but with the right instructions, simple medication and training is possible. The same applies to animals with special "instructions for use", for example anxious or very busy. When I visit, I do so for at least 30 minutes, but if my schedule allows it, it can be longer. I give the necessary/desired attention, we play, pet and cuddle and of course I send photos and keep the owner informed of everything. I also keep the area clean and change food, water and litter boxes. If necessary, I can do extra chores such as collecting mail, watering plants, gardening or categorizing the bookcase ;).&nbsp;
I take walks (if available) two or three times a day, at least half an hour, longer can be discussed. This can be done slowly or at a gallop (I'm fit), with many other dogs around or without, but always on a leash as long as I don't know the dog well yet. I prefer to find some nature for this, such as the Noorderplantsoen or City Park.
I have extensive experience cat or dog sitting for family and friends, and also through this platform (together with my girlfriend).
Feel free to shoot me a message, also if you only have some general questions!
