Onze kattenoppas Nikoleta was absoluut geweldig! Tijdens onze vakantie van 15 dagen zorgde ze liefdevol en zorgvuldig voor onze drie katten. Het was duidelijk dat ze echt om onze harige vrienden gaf. Ze kwam maar liefst twee keer per dag langs en nam echt de tijd voor ze. We kregen regelmatig updates en foto's, wat geruststellend was. Dankzij haar konden we met een gerust hart van onze vakantie genieten, wetende dat onze katten in goede handen waren. Maar daar bleef het niet bij. Ze verzorgde ook onze planten, zowel binnen als in de tuin, en zorgde zelfs voor de vissen in onze vijver. Haar toewijding en zorgzaamheid gingen verder dan onze verwachtingen. We kunnen haar niet genoeg bedanken voor de geweldige zorg en raden haar ten zeerste aan anderen aan die op zoek zijn naar een betrouwbare kattenoppas en een complete zorgoplossing voor hun huis en tuin! ——————————————————————————— Our cat sitter Nikoleta was absolutely fantastic! During our 15-day vacation, she lovingly and attentively cared for our three cats. It was clear that she truly cared for our furry friends. She came by twice a day and took the time to interact with them. We received regular updates and photos, which were reassuring. Thanks to her, we could enjoy our vacation with peace of mind, knowing that our cats were in good hands. But it didn't stop there. She also tended to our plants, both inside and in the garden, and even took care of the fish in our pond. Her dedication and caring went above and beyond our expectations. We can't thank her enough for the excellent care, and we highly recommend her to others looking for a reliable cat sitter and a complete care solution for their home and garden!

Maya was an absolute gem of a cat sitter! When I got back from my trip, my cat seemed happier than ever, which was a delightful change compared to my experiences with other sitters. Maya was super organized, always letting me know when she was going to pop in to check on my cat. Every day, she sent me the cutest pics and gave me all the deets about how my cat was doing, which was so reassuring. She followed all the instructions I left to the letter, and everything went super smoothly while I was gone. Honestly, I'm kinda bummed that she's moving out of Amsterdam. She's been the best cat sitter I've had, and I'm sure any cat would be lucky to have her. Totally recommend her to anyone who needs someone reliable and caring for their pet!

Frequently asked questions

Your pet sitting questions answered

What does pet sitting include?

When you book our pet sitting services, an experienced pet sitter will visit your home and spend some one-on-one time with your pet.

Who will be caring for my pet during the pet sitting booking?

Pawshake only accepts pet and dog sitters who have experience and/or qualifications caring for pets. You can search, choose and have a free meet and greet with your pet sitter or dog minder prior to making a booking.

Is pet sitting the right option for my pet?

Pet sitting is the perfect option for pets who prefer staying in their own home environment and would like some company during the day. This means your pet gets to enjoy high quality and personalised care that is better than pet hotels.

What is the difference between pet sitting and pet hotels?

Pet sitting is a personalised service where a pet sitter visits your home and spends one on one time with your pet. Pet hotels can be stressful and usually involve your pet sharing their space with other pets and interacting with different staff members each time.
