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 Valkenburg aan de Geul 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 Valkenburg aan de Geul.

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 Valkenburg aan de Geul 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.

Hello! My name is Marissa and I love being a petsitter. With more than five years of experience caring for animals of all personalities, ages, medical needs, and backgrounds, my passion for pet sitting grew naturally from a lifelong love of animals and a desire to create a safe, calm, and joyful environment for them when their owners are away. Over the years, I’ve worked with everything from high-energy puppies to elderly pets who need gentle routines, as well as anxious or rescue animals who require extra patience and understanding.
What motivates me most is the trust that forms between a pet, their owner, and a petsitter. I often petsit for the same families every month, and I love the collaboration and trust that grows over time. I believe every animal deserves the best life possible, so I take time to learn each pet’s habits, fears, and favorite comforts. Whether your dog thrives on long walks or your cat prefers a stay-at-home friend, I enjoy adapting my time with your pet to what suits them best. I enjoy walking, so I would love to take your pet on lovely walks around the city, long or short, if that's what they enjoy too. I would prefer petsitting animals who are fully-vacinated.&nbsp;
Communication is extremely important to me, so I always keep owners updated with thoughtful check-ins where needed, and also offer house-sitting services and include any updates to your home if relevant when you are away. My goal is to give your pet a safe and loving environment, leaving you assured and at ease to enjoy your time away from your pet.&nbsp;
I would love to connect and see how I can help you with your pet!&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;


Hi! My name is Mary, and I’m a PhD candidate currently living in Maastricht, the Netherlands.

I truly love cats. I have a cat named Leo who is currently in my home country, and unfortunately I wasn’t able to bring him with me. Caring for him taught me how much trust it takes to leave your cat in someone else’s hands — and I deeply respect that trust.

When I spend time with a cat, my goal is simple: to treat them with the same patience, gentleness, and respect that I would give my own. Every cat has their own personality and comfort zone. Some want quiet company. Some want play and interaction. Some prefer space and soft voices. I take the time to understand what makes your cat feel safe and happy, and I adapt to their individual needs.

Being around cats gives me a deep sense of calm, and I genuinely enjoy their unique personalities — from the playful and curious ones to the quiet observers who just want a cozy spot nearby. For me, cat sitting is not about money; it’s about giving attention, care, and positive energy while their human is away.

I am responsible, attentive, and gentle. Even though I find cats incredibly cute, I always remain calm and respectful of their boundaries. Your cat’s comfort and well-being will always be my priority.

I would be happy to care for your cat with the same warmth and thoughtfulness I gave my own

Hi, my name is Holly, I am 20 years old and currently studying psychology here in Maastricht I absolutely love animals, especially dogs. I used to own a small Bolonka Zwetna, his name was Schrubbi. I miss having a pet around and playing with them, taking them on nice walks, especially around maastricht, it's so beautiful here. I have already been a pet-sitter back home in germany, I took care of a Cavapoo (Cavalier King Charles Spaniel x Poodle) and we got along amazingly. I can take special instructions and wishes into consideration when taking care of your little one. My dog was a puppy when we got him, so I am comfortable with taking care of little pups as well as older dogs and I don't have any allergies so no limitations! I would prefer taking care of vaccinated dogs but we can discuss that on a case to case basis. I would appreciate a heads up about whether or not they are trained to walk on leashes, because that impacts where we should best make our rounds. Otherwise, I'm just happy to help and take care of your pets and let them have a good time:)

Hi!&nbsp;I’m from Turkey and currently living in the Netherlands for my studies. Back home in my family house, I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats, and I loved every moment with them — from playtime and cuddles to making sure they were fed, safe, and happy. Since moving here, I’ve really missed having them around, which is why I’d love to spend time caring for other pets.I might not have “professional” pet-sitting experience, but I truly believe what matters most is patience, kindness, and genuine love for animals. I know how important it is to feel your pet is safe and cared for while you’re away. I'm looking forward to meeting some furry friends, whether it’s going for a walk, giving belly rubs, or simply keeping them company at mine place or iether your place.For safety, I only accept vaccinated pets.

I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. When I was little, I was so obsessed that I used to hand my toy dogs to my dad so he could walk ahead of me, just so I could pretend I was walking them myself. I’ve grown up surrounded by family friends’ dogs and have spent most of my formative years learning everything about them. I think I have grown to understand how to read their behaviour, body language and personalities.
My own dog was brought into our home as a result of my persuasion and pestering over 11 years of my life and so once we got him, I have been very actively involved in his life. He is a very lively cocker spaniel-poodle mix so I’m used to energetic dogs who need both mental and physical stimulation. I’m also experienced with older, slower and more sensitive dogs who need patience, calmness and extra care having looked after our friends' old labrador for the last five years of his life. On walks, I make sure dogs get the right balance of exercise, sniffing time and engagement, adjusting the pace depending on age, fitness and confidence levels. Nervous dogs are always given space, reassurance and calm guidance, while more energetic ones benefit from structure, recall practice and playful interaction. Over the years I’ve also cared for older and more sensitive dogs, ensuring gentler walks and plenty of comfort. I’ve regularly looked after dogs for friends and family, including golden retrievers, labradors and whippets, so I’m confident in adapting to different breeds and needs. I love seeing how different dogs have such different personalities and getting to understand them better. Additionally, I am an active person myself, loving the outdoors and I miss my own dog greatly when at university; dog sitting is the perfect opportunity to give the care and attention I am used to giving to my own dog to yours!
When house sitting, safety and routine come first. I make sure to maintain feeding schedules, keep environments secure, and make sure dogs are never left unsupervised in unfamiliar situations. I prioritise calm handling, secure lead walking, name-tag checks and awareness of surroundings when outdoors.
My motivation for pet sitting is simple: I genuinely love spending time with dogs, and I want owners to feel completely at ease knowing their pets are happy, safe and loved. I treat every dog as if they were my own, and I’m committed to making their time with me positive and stress-free. Dogs are incredible at reading human emotions and body language which is why they are such great companions and I am passionate about giving them the best company in return. Moreover, I understand that dogs often function on routine and therefore I am happy to follow any routines you already have in place.
I offer both dog walking and house sitting, and I’m always happy to dedicate the time, energy and attention needed to make sure your dog is comfortable and cared for. 


UPDATE: inmiddels werk ik fulltime en is het alleen mogelijk om in het weekend op te passen.

Hallo! Mijn naam is Céline Houben, 23 jaar. Ik ben onlangs afgestudeerd als dierenarts aan de Universiteit van Gent (BE), waar ik de studie diergeneeskunde heb gevolgd. Al van jongs af aan heb ik een enorme passie voor dieren. Mijn eerste hond was een kruising tussen een Berner Sennen en een Golden Retriever, en momenteel hebben wij thuis een Golden Retriever.
Dankzij mijn achtergrond als dierenarts beschik ik over uitgebreide kennis van de verzorging en gezondheid van honden, katten en andere diersoorten. Naast de gebruikelijke zorgtaken ben ik extra alert op signalen die kunnen wijzen op gezondheidsproblemen. Zo kan ik niet alleen zorgen voor uw dier, maar ook een extra steentje bijdragen aan het welzijn ervan.
Helaas kan ik geen dieren mee naar mijn huis nemen, maar ik kan zeker wel bij u op uw dieren passen. Daarnaast sta ik ook open voor de uitlaatservice. Maar u mag mij altijd contacteren indien u een verzoek heeft.
Graag tot snel!


Hi! My name is Ashley, and caring for animals is truly at the heart of who I am. With years of hands-on experience as a pet transportation and care specialist, I’ve built my career around ensuring pets feel safe, loved, and stress-free—whether they’re traveling across the country or settling in for a cozy stay.My passion for pet sitting stems from a deep respect for the bond between pets and their people. I know how important it is to leave your furry family member in trusted hands, and that’s exactly what I strive to offer. Every pet in my care is treated like my own—with patience, kindness, and attention to their unique needs.I’m trained in Pet CPR, First Aid, and medication administration, and I do require that pets be up to date on vaccinations to keep everyone safe. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or cuddle sessions, I’m here to provide reliable, loving care you can count on.&nbsp;My services range from local pet sitting, dog walking, pet transportation and relocation, to overnight care with the use of Tractive GPS trackers so you know where your pet is at all times whether that be down the street for a walk or across the country, you have access to real time tracking of your furry (or furless!) family member.&nbsp;I have worked with breeders since 2017 to safely transport pets from California to Florida and across the United States to their new homes. I'm excited to now offer my services across Europe and the United Kingdom and internationally for pet parents relocating from the United States.&nbsp;

Hi! I am an enthusiastic animal lover who has been lovingly raising a cat for 8 years. Additionally, I regularly took care of stray animals in our garden in Turkey – feeding them daily and ensuring their well-being. Walking is my absolute favorite activity! Long, brisk walks with dogs are not just a chore for me, but pure joy.
I offer your pets:
 Loving and responsible care
 Daily walks in the fresh air
 Regular photo/video updates

I am currently studying as a Master's student at RWTH Aachen University. Even though my studies are demanding, I always make time for animals – because animals are my greatest passion. Caring for animals gives me energy and joy in my everyday life. I believe that animals offer unconditional love, and I give that love back just as unconditionally.

Your pets are in good hand with me and you can trust that they will be well-cared.
I communicate mostly in English but I have B1 German.

Hello, I'm Ayda!! I'm 24, currently pursuing a master's degree here in Maastricht. I have a 9 years old Golden Retriever Luna back home in Istanbul who I miss very much. I adopted her when she was only 2.5 months old and I took care of her until September 2025 (when I came here for my studies). Now she is living with my parents. 
I'm careful, responsible, disciplined and I'd love to take care of your beloved furry family member. I enjoy taking long walks and going out for running, so I'd love to take your pet with me when you're not able to!
I can also stop by at your place to feed them, play with then and give them some love and attention. 
I have a flexible schedule, feel free to reach out!
P.S. Unfortunately I can't take any pets into my own home, due to my apartment regulations.
