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 Middelstum 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 Middelstum.

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 Middelstum 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 am currently living abroad and I miss being around animals. I am from Ireland, currently studying my masters in Hanze (sustainable energy system management). I am here for 6 months and would love to be get to know your pet!
I have previous experience walking dogs, where I walked two large dogs 5 days a week. 
Growing up surrounded by dogs, I developed a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors. I rescued my current dog from an animal shelter when he had a broken leg. My experience caring for a sick and injurered pet, ensures the safety and happiness of every dog under my care. I also have experince training. I have trained my current and previous dogs basic commands as well as off lead walking and strong recall. I am confident walking stronger breeds such as labs, boxers etc. I often walk my friends two french bull dogs when they go away. My previous rescued dogs include = lab/collie, labradoodle, beagle/lab and boxer. 
I worked in a dog groomers part time during school. I had to handle small and large dogs to wash, trim and cut nails. I dealt with friendly and not so friendly dogs during this time and am confident with a range of breeds and manners. 
In my spare time I enjoy hockey, running, horse riding and knitting. 
I am looking forward to meeting you and your pet! 

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.


Hi there! My name is Nicoleta, I'm 20 years old, and I am currently studying Psychology at the University of Groningen. A year ago, I moved here from Romania, away from my family and friends for the first time. My familiy means the world to me and being so far is really difficult at times. Back home, we have a cat who we named "Caju" (meaning cashew nut in Romanian) because when he sleeps, he curls up like a little cashew:') I miss him every day, just as much as I miss my rest of my family. That's why I thought pet sitting could bring more joy into my life while I'm here. I've loved being around animals and taking care of them since I was a child. I’d love the opportunity to help you out by taking care of your pets, because in return, the small ones will also help me by keeping me some company:)&nbsp;


My name is Matze, I am 24 and study to become aninternational school teacher, currently completing a minor in Bruges. My passions lie in education, youthwork, languages, intercultural mindedness as well as cooking and eating (plant-based).
I have always loved animals, have worked at both a horse and pig sanctuary with different animals including rescued dogs in the past, andmost namely have had the chance to walk friend’s and my former boss’s dogsbefore (and just spend time with their animals in general).&nbsp;&nbsp;
Doing so is just really fun to me because it gives me a lot of positive energy to be with animals since they usually have a very grounding butat the same time revitalizing effect on me. Just makes me happy to be aroundthem and I think this platform is a great opportunity to support pet owners andget to spend my time in another form which I enjoy lots.&nbsp;
I am looking forward to your message and to get to know you as well as your fellow pet! &nbsp;


Hi! I’m Jeanne, an art student studying in Groningen and also a patient animal lover offering all types of pet care—dog walking, home visits, pet sitting, and more for all kinds of pets. I’ve spent years caring for my own dogs and my roommate's cats, I can feel our trust with each others when I was living with them. I truly enjoy building trust and a calm connection with every animal I meet.
Whether your pet needs a long walk, company during the day, or daily feeding during your vacation, I’m here with an open heart and flexible time. I’m happy to follow their rhythm and provide tender, attentive care.
I’m available almost every day with no strict time limits, and I always do my best to create a relaxed and loving environment. I see animals not just as pets, but as companions with their own personalities and needs.
Let me know how I can help! Open to any discussions! You and your furry friend will be in loving hands!

Living in Groningen is amazing, but it would be even more amazing with pets next to me. And if I could do some good deeds in between and make some new (animal and human) friends in between, why not️️&nbsp;
Although this is my first time signing up for a pet-sitting app, i'm a professional  pet sitter of the craziest, funniest and most pig-like dog (Ligi) back home in Slovenia and the cutest, fluffiest kitties (Tatjana, Pikachu, Lojze); so more like pets, dogs and cats and other house-animals feel like a part of family to me.
And if I can't bring the fluffy part of my family with me here in Groningen, I'm already excited to meet YOUR pet-part-of-the-family and provide them with as much love, as many hugs and cuddles and as many walks as i can :)&nbsp;
I am usually available the whole day, other than three afternoons per week, when I work at my job (the exact time is known 2 weeks in advance). What I can give you as a pet-sitter is taking your little ones for a walk, and giving them care and love that they deserve!! :) However, our student housing does not allow any pets, so I would have to take care of your pets at your place / at parks. If needed, I can administer medication to the pets. When giving home visits, I can stay with the pets for as many hours as necessary, and can also provide additional care of the house, if necessary!  Since I live near many parks, there are always fun places to find with the little ones, so the walks are made as fun as possible for them, lasting up to an hour / even more if wanted.
If you have any further questions, feel free to write to me!!
Otherwise, hope to hear from you (and your fluffy ones) soon!️️ &nbsp;


Your Cat's New Best Friend (Whether They Like It or Not)

I'm Oskar, a 21-year-old mechanical engineering student with a lifelong love for cats. I'm Finnish-American, fluent in both English and Finnish, but most importantly I'm fluent in Meow.

I've owned and cared for many cats over the years, and I've done extensive cat-sitting, so whether your feline is a cuddle monster, a shy shadow, or a dramatic diva, I know how to keep them happy. Need someone to dish out gourmet (or very specific) meal requests? Play endless rounds "chase the invisible speck of dust"? Provide professional-level chin scratches? I'm your guy.

I treat every cat like my own (which means lots of love, attention, and respect for their royal status). If you need a reliable, experienced, and slightly cat-obsessed sitter, I'd be thrilled to help. Looking forward to meeting your furry overlord!

I offer cat sitting at the kitties house, and for special requests, I can also accept cats in my studio. Every cat is different, so I like to discuss the details to make sure they get the best care possible. Feel free to send me a message, and we'll figure out the perfect plan for your feline friend!

Hoi!

Mijn naam is Lianne, ik ben 28 jaar en net afgestudeerd aan de kunstacademie. Al mijn projecten zijn gerelateerd aan natuur, planten en dieren, dat is waar mijn hart ligt. Ik ben een biobased artist en hiervoor doe ik veel onderzoek naar natuur, planten en dieren. Daarnaast ben ik veel bezig met mijn kamerplanten verzameling. Je kan er wel meer dan 100 vinden in mijn huis!
Voordat ik aan de kunstacademie begon, heb ik een jaar Diermanagement gestudeerd. Tijdens die periode heb ik stage gelopen bij een opvangcentrum voor wilde dieren, waar ik zorgde voor wilde dieren die je in de Nederlandse natuur tegenkomt, zoals roofvogels, kraaiachtigen, herten, vossen, steenmarters en bunzingen.&nbsp;

Ik ben zelf een enorme hondenliefhebber. Mijn dag is helemaal gemaakt als ik een hond heb geaaid. Ik ben opgegroeid met grote honden en voel me hier erg vertrouwd mee. Ik vind het ook leuk om mij bezig te houden met hondentraining. Het is mijn grote droom om samen met mijn vriend Rob een golden retriever te adopteren, zodra we daar qua woonruimte en werkritme klaar voor zijn.
Mijn vriend Rob is net als ik gek op dieren, en Rob heeft zelfs iets magisch over zich heen. Zijn huisdieren worden altijd opvallend oud! Zijn kat Toby werd 25 (!) jaar oud, en konijn Bert tikte de 11 aan. Vooral met katten heeft Rob een bijzondere band; ze voelen zich meteen op hun gemak bij hem en zijn vaak niet bij hem weg te slaan.
Rob en ik wonen nu samen in een appartement in hartje Groningen, omringd door meer dan 100 kamerplanten én onze jonge kat Sok, een halve Maine Coon met een flinke dosis persoonlijkheid.&nbsp;

Woon je in (de buurt van) Groningen en kun je af en toe hulp gebruiken met het uitlaten van je hond(en) of zoek je een oppas voor je dier(en)? Ik help je graag! Ook voor plantenzorg draai ik mijn hand niet om. Met een fiets én auto tot mijn beschikking ben ik flexibel inzetbaar.

Stuur gerust een berichtje als je vragen hebt of een afspraak wilt maken. Ik kijk ernaar uit om kennis te maken!


Hi there, my name is Ece and I'm currently a PhD student at the University of Groningen.  I moved to Groningen in 2020 to pursue my studies. One of the first things I did after moving here was to adopt a cat with my flatmate. We became proud cat parents to a lovely little boy who's now two years old. He's a smart little guy, but also quite mischievous at times!
Aside from my own fur baby, I also have a lot of experience with other animals. My family has a cottage house in my home country where we share our garden with two dogs and six cats. Sometimes, our neighbors' cats even join us, and we end up with a big group of feline and canine friends enjoying the sunny weather in our garden.
I'm motivated to be a pet sitter on Pawshake because spending time with animals is incredibly meditative for me. It brings me so much joy to see them happy and healthy, and I believe that animals have a lot to teach us about living in the moment and appreciating the simple things in life.
As a pet owner, I understand how important it is for you to feel comfortable and confident leaving your furry friends in the care of someone else. Although I don't have professional experience as a pet sitter, I have plenty of personal experience and a genuine love for animals.

Hoi! Ik ben Anna en ik ben een ervaren katteneigenaar. Ik heb mijn hele leven katten gehad. Ik heb zelf 4 katten: Vos uit 2009, Poes uit 2011 en kittens Glazki en Mihoen uit 2022. Ik pas ook op een (wilde) zwerfkat die in onze tuin woont.&nbsp;
Ik heb ervaring met verschillende soorten kattentemperamenten (één van mijn katten is niet de makkelijkste om mee om te gaan), angstige katten, katten die medicijnen nodig hebben, oudere katten, kittens, katten die geadopteerd zijn uit het asiel, katten met gedragsproblemen.
Ik heb momenteel wat vrije tijd aan mijn handen en zou graag voor uw huisdier zorgen terwijl u weg bent.&nbsp;
Mijn diensten bestaan uit:&nbsp;
- uw kat(ten) bezoeken bij zijn/haar/hun woonplaats op de afgesproken tijd(en)
- voer- en waterbakken verschonen en vullen
- kattenbak verschonen&nbsp;
- menselijk gezelschap bieden aan uw kat&nbsp;
- spelen met uw kat&nbsp;
- medicijnen geven aan uw kat&nbsp;
- eventueel buiten zitten/wandelen met uw kat
- er in het algemeen voor zorgen dat uw dier veilig is, alles heeft wat nodig is en zich op zijn gemak voelt terwijl hij de terugkeer van het baasje afwacht :)
Een standaard huisbezoek is 30 minuten. Afhankelijk van wat uw dier nodig heeft (bijvoorbeeld medicatie), is langer bezoek is mogelijk in overleg. Ik check altijd het huis even om ervoor te zorgen dat het nog steeds veilig is voor het katje: denk aan omgegooide planten, stukjes gebroken glas, kabels enz.. Als mij iets opvalt waarvan ik denk dat het de veiligheid van de kat kan aantasten, dan ruim even ik het op.&nbsp;
Ik ben in de ochtend, middag en avond beschikbaar. Ik kan ook uw post verzamelen en de planten water geven.&nbsp;
Ik kan uw dieren niet in huis nemen in verband met mijn eigen katten en ook voornamelijk het feit dat katten zich prettiger voelen in hun eigen omgeving.&nbsp;
Ik kijk ernaar uit om uw kat te ontmoeten :)
=========
Hi there!
I'm Anna and I'm an experienced cat owner. I've had cats my whole life. I currently have 4 cats of my own: Vos from 2009, Poes from 2011 and kittens Glazki and Mihoen from 2022. I'm also taking care of a stray (wild) cat that lives in our garden. I have experience with various types of cat temperaments (one of my cats is not the easiest one to deal with), anxious cats, cats that need medication, elderly cats, kittens, cats that were adopted from the shelter, cats with behavioral problems.&nbsp;
I currently have some free time on my hands and would love to take care of your pet while you are away.
My services include:
- visiting your cat(s) at their place of residence at agreed time(s)
- filling/cleaning food and water bowls
- cleaning the litter box and changing cat litter
- offering company to your cat&nbsp;
- playing with your cat
- giving medication to your cat&nbsp;
- if required, sit/walk outside with your cat&nbsp;
- generally making sure your pet is safe, comfortable and has everything they need while awaiting their owner's return :)&nbsp;
A standard home visit is about 30 minutes. Depending on what your cat's needs are (for instance, medication), longer visits are possible. I also always check the house to make sure it is still safe for your cat: I look out for knocked over plants, pieces of broken glass, cables etc.. If I notice something that I think could affect the safety of the cat, I'll tidy it up.&nbsp;
I am available in the morning, afternoon and evening. I can also collect your mail and water the plants.&nbsp;
I cannot take animals in because of my own cats and also mainly the fact that cats feel more comfortable when they are in their own environment.
I look forward to meeting your pets :)


Ik zal mijzelf even voorstellen. Ik ben Eva, 21 jaar oud en wonend in de prachtige stad Groningen. Hier woon ik al 3 jaar zelfstandig. Daarvoor ben ik opgegroeid in een klein dorpje in Friesland. Hier woonde ik met mijn ouders, twee paarden, een hond en drie katten. Momenteel woon ik in een appartement midden in het centrum van Groningen. Ik ben een fulltime studente HRM aan de Hanzehogeschool. Ik heb een passie voor paardrijden, hardlopen en polefitness.Ik heb altijd al een grote affectie voor dieren gehad. Als kind altijd al te vinden geweest bij de geiten van de buren, bij de paarden op stal of met de honden spelend op het grasveld. Ik ben zelf ook opgegroeid met een hele beestenboel thuis. Momenteel heb ik zelf geen dieren, maar staat staat voor de toekomst zeker wel gepland.Omdat ik al mijn hele jeugd veel omgang heb gehad met dieren vanuit huis, maar ook regelmatig op de dieren van kennissen heb gepast leek het mij super om dit nu ook in Groningen te doen. Ik ben zeer verantwoordelijk en heb ervaring met verschillende grootte en soorten dieren. Ik vind het heerlijk om buiten te wandelen en dat is samen natuurlijk het leukst!. Omdat mijn appartement niet heel groot is, en enkele verdiepingen hoog is het niet mogelijk om bij mij thuis grote honden op te vangen. Op het moment dat dit op locatie kan is het natuurlijk geen probleem :). Er zullen meer foto's volgen. Je mag altijd een berichtje sturen als je vragen over mij hebt!

I'm Brazilian living in Europe for 8 years. I've doing pet sitter in different countries, such as Brazil, Australia and Belgium. Now that I live in Barcelona, I have a lovely dog, Amora. I speak Spanish, Portuguese, English and a little bit of Dutch. I believe communication won't be a problem. I'm happy to walk with your dog and take good care of your cat. In Belgium, I spend the past 4 years mostly pet sitting cats but sometimes dogs as well.I'm passionate for cats and dogs, they make my days more enjoyable as they bring light to my routine. Dogs play a crucial role for wellbeing and mental health, they take care of us while we are committed to giving the best we can for them to live a fair, safe and healthy life. For this reason I do love pet sitting and of course, I'd love to help families by spending time with their pets for a little while. The only problem is that I always fall in love with these little ones, what makes a bit difficult to do not see them anymore afterwords.&nbsp;As I have Amora, a 4 years old labrador, in Barcelona, I'm available to host only little dogs at my place. But I'm happy to visit other dogs and walk with them.Hope I'll have the chance to meet you and the pets that are part of your family!&nbsp;Kind regards, Angela
