Top cities for pet sitting in The Netherlands

When you have to go away or work long hours, you may worry about leaving your pet home alone. Have you ever wondered “Is there a pet or dog sitter in Zwolle that can help?”.

Luckily, with Pawshake, you can easily find local and trusted pet and dog carers from Zwolle to provide drop in visits and other services. This means a pet sitter will come and visit your pet at a time you both agree on and provide lots of love and personal attention. This can include playtime in the backyard, a walk to the local park, or just some cuddle time. Our pet carers can also administer medication, give food, and refresh the water bowl.

In home pet sitting services are a great way to break up the day and enrich it for your pet. Pawshake pet sitters have extensive experience caring for a range of pets including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds and more. If you have multiple pets, home visits are a great option to ensure that they all get a visit and lots of attention during the day.

Drop in visits are the least stressful option for your pet because your pet can stay in their favourite environment – their own home in Zwolle. Their surroundings will be familiar and our loving and passionate Pawshake sitter will spoil them each day. Our sitters will treat your home with respect and are flexible with timing, requests and durations. All this can be discussed before you make a home visit booking.

Pet boarding is a great option for when you are away for a few days and your pet needs overnight care. Unlike pet hotels, Pawshake pet boarding allows you to arrange a personalised daily routine for your pet, whether this be extra belly rubs, playtime or 24 hour supervision. Your pet will stay with the pet sitter in a cosy home environment, rather than a large, impersonal pet hotel.  

So whether you need just one day, a week or even a month, you’ll be able to find an experienced pet or dog carer to accommodate you and your pet’s needs in Zwolle. The best part is that your Pawshake pet sitter is from your local neighbourhood, so they will be familiar with the area.

Our pet carers also have a range of experiences which include puppies, seniors, nervous pets and dog training. So if your pet has special requirements, you’ll be sure to find a pet sitter that is a good match for you.

Your pet’s safety and welfare is a big priority for us, which is why all of our Pawshake pet sitters undergo a strict vetting process by our trust and safety team. At Pawshake, we understand that you might feel a little uneasy allowing a pet sitter to enter your home or arranging pet boarding at their place. This is why Pawshake pet sitters also have reviews from other pet parents that are publicly available on their profile for you to read.

Each pet sitting home visit and pet boarding booking made through Pawshake is covered by the Pawshake Guarantee, which includes veterinary coverage, customer support 7 days a week and more. Rest easy knowing that your pets will be well looked after by one of our expert pet carers in Zwolle.

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!
