Kattenoppas in Oegstgeest

“Jara took care of Charles and Louis a few times. My cats easily feel comfortable around her. She gives regular updates by sending photo's and videos. Jara is a very reliable catsitter. I am very comfortable having her take care of my two cats.”

Over: Since I grew up in apartment building, i’ve sit all kinds of animals throughout my life. I never cared about them destroying things or getting dirty because of them. When i was in high school i also volunteered in animal shelter, where i worked primarily with dogs. Since i’m in uni i have lot of free time during the day. My schedule is changing a lot but it’s never anything drastic that could affect anything that we agreed on. I don’t have problem with anything, i just have to be informed beforehand. I am strong willed and i will find a way how to make a animal to like me.

“Loukia took care of Charles and Louis for a few days. The is a reliable en trustworthy catsitter. She sended me updates via pictures and movies. My cats got used to her very easily and they were very relaxed upon my return. I absolutely recommend Loukia.”

Over: Hi there! I’m currently pursuing my PhD in LUMC. I’ve always had a deep love for cats—the calm, curious, and affectionate companions they are. The adorable cat in my profile picture is Dumi, my 1-year-old Siberian Forest Cat who lives with me here. Caring for Dumi every day has taught me a lot about cat behavior, diet, and emotional needs. I understand that every cat is unique, and I always take the time to learn their habits, preferences, and comfort zones. Whether your cat needs quiet companionship, playtime, feeding, or medication, I will make sure they feel safe and well cared for while you’re away. I have experience with: • Feeding routines and special diets (incl. dry food, canning food, barf, freeze-dried food) • Litter box cleaning and hygiene • Playtime and enrichment • Caring for shy or anxious cats • Fur brushing • Basic medication (if needed) I’m responsible, detail-oriented, and I always keep owners updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind. I’d love to offer my help to fellow cat parents and make sure your furry friend is well taken care of while you’re away. 🐾 I'm currently doing my PhD project in LUMC and working on artificial intellegence-based medical image analysis. I usually work at home, because all I need for doing research is a laptop. Therefore, I spend a lot of time being with my cat and my schedule is quite flexible. I always prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment when caring for pets. I take the time to follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding routines, play preferences, and any special needs or medical requirements. In a pet owner’s home, I respect their space and maintain a clean, quiet, and stress-free environment for the cat. I make sure doors and windows are secure at all times, especially for indoor cats, and I pay close attention to any changes in behavior or health. I approach every cat with patience and sensitivity, allowing them to feel comfortable at their own pace. I never force interaction and always respect their boundaries, which is especially important for shy or anxious cats. I also keep owners updated regularly with messages and photos, so they can feel reassured that their pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

Over: I’ve been taking care of my friends’ pets (both dogs and cats) since I moved to the Netherlands 8 years ago. Taking them for walks, feeding, playing and house sitting making sure they don’t get lonely (or naughty). Besides, not being able to have a pet of my own at the moment, I have loots of love to give to all the good girls and boys out there 🤗 I’m working from home/ remotely most of the week, therefore I’m quite flexible with my schedule and also with my location. I can plan my day ahead to make sure I provide the needed care for your pet. Special care or environment can be discussed individually. For client’s home sitting/ drop in visits I like to discuss the rules and requests in advance to make sure I can provide appropriate care for the animal.

“Dagmara took care of our two cats for a full week, and we couldn’t be happier with her support. She handled everything we discussed with great care and attention. Her daily reports were not only very detailed but also truly entertaining - we looked forward to them every day. She was also very flexible when I needed to adjust the visit times, which made the whole experience even smoother. She won our cats’ trust incredibly quickly, and what’s even more impressive - she managed to teach my usually stubborn cat how to use an intelligence‑boosting toy. I was genuinely shocked when I later saw on the camera that Lola was using it all on her own and pulling treats out of it. Dagmara is a wonderful pet sitter - patient, reliable, and genuinely great with animals. We highly recommend her.”

“Megan did an outstanding job with two of my dogs while I was out of town. On time daily and sent pics each time she visited. Megan always stayed in contact with me to update on how the dogs where doing. Will definitely be using her again. Highly Recommend.”

Over: Hi! Mijn naam is Maria, 36 jaar en ik woon al 17 jaar in Leiden (Nieuw Leyden bij Groenoord). Al 4 jaar ben ik trotse peettante van Oes, de kat van mijn zusje. Een grote rode kater die gek is op familieaangelegenheden en met Kerst aan tafel aanschuift. Ik ben regelmatig bij hen om op hem te passen en soms logeert hij bij mij. Oes is een aanwezige kat met een eigen wil die graag wil dat er goed voor hem wordt gezorgd Ik ben de komende tijd veel thuis en heb ruimte om bij jullie langs te komen. Katten zijn in overleg ook welkom bij mij thuis Ik heb een groot en licht appartement waar verschillende plekjes gecreëerd kunnen worden. Er is een kattenbak en krabpaal aanwezig en wat leuke speeltjes

“Leo was amazing! My cat recently had some medical complications and I needed someone I could comfortably leave my cat with, and I couldn’t have found someone better! She thought with me, was very warm and very open to hear all the details about what had happened and how to deal with it. Would definitely recommend!”

Over: Hi! My name is Sofia, I’m a 23-year-old Italian Master's student living in The Hague. I’m a passionate animal lover with years of hands-on experience taking care of dogs – especially my two lovely Cocker Spaniels back home in Italy. Growing up with dogs taught me how to understand their needs, read their body language, and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Since moving to the Netherlands, I’ve really missed spending time with dogs – so I’d love to help care for yours! Whether your pup needs a calm walk around the neighborhood or a more energetic outing, I adapt easily to their personality and preferences. I’m responsible, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m available on weekdays and weekends with flexible hours. If you’re looking for a caring, reliable dog walker who treats your furry friend like family, feel free to reach out! 🐶💛 I’m available for dog walking and pet sitting all the week (including weekends), preferably in the afternoons and evenings. But we can discuss what are your needs. For me, safety and trust are the top priorities: I can guarantee a calm and controlled environment and my care adapts to your pet's needs. I offer flexible services, ensuring reliable and loving treatment at your home and outside. My goal is to always provide a safe and trusting environment for your four-legged friend :)

“Soek Hwa was brilliant, very reliable and caring. She sent me updates and pics throughout. Thanks very much ☺️”

Over: We hebben 10 jaar lang een hond gehad met heel veel plezier en leuke momenten. Het was een Ridgeback, dus aan grote honden ben ik gewend! Verder heb ik bij familieleden of mensen in de buurt op hun hond gepast, of een rondje met ze gelopen en extra aandacht gegeven. Ik heb zelf een rustig karakter en dat zie ik ook bij de honden terug. Ze vinden het fijn om met mij te zijn en zijn snel gewend. Ik werk zelf onregelmatig. Ik ben verpleegkundige maar werk op een woongroep met mensen die een auditieve en verstandelijke beperking hebben. Ik werk slaapdiensten, dagdiensten en avonddiensten, dus ik heb altijd wel een gaatje om te komen knuffelen of een wandeling te maken. Ik ga graag wandelen op het strand, in het bos of een blokje om net wat nodig is! Ik kom graag lekker knuffelen of spelen met de hond (pup of wat ouder geen probleem). Ik heb een auto dus ik kan ook er op uit naar het strand, het bos of een dichtbijgelegen park.

Over: I am a PhD candidate at Leiden University and live alone there. I helped rescues in Iran and have fostered four cats and four dogs. I enjoy spending time with animals as they are pure love. As I travel a lot, I can not adopt a pet right now, so I prefer to foster others’ pets or do some pet sitting.

Over: Ik heb op de middelbare school les gehad in dieren verzorging in theorie en praktijk. Ook hebben we thuis al sinds ik mij kan herinneren dieren thuis. Ik laat elke dag de hond uit en geef hem eten en aandacht, ik pas ook vaak op huisdieren van vrienden en familie ik heb dus ook ervaring met meerdere honden en katten Omdat ik zelf een ouder hondje heb die aan het dementeren is, let ik altijd goed op tijdens bijv het uitlaten. Hij loopt ook erg veel rond maar omdat hij niet meer zo goed kan zien let ik dan ook goed op dat die zich niet klem loopt

“Wij waren enorm blij met Lianne als catsitter! We kregen regelmatig foto's en updates, en bij thuiskomst waren de poezen relaxed en het huis netjes. Ze heeft ook onze ontsnapte poes met succes weer binnen gehaald, waar we erg blij mee waren. Volgende keer vragen we Lianne zeker weer!”

Over: I grew up and lived my entire life surrounded by animals, mainly cats and some dogs. I also have had the commitment of taken care of my friend animals (in special dogs), during their holidays. I couldn’t host their because I live with three cats, and I’m not encouraged to take care of bigger dogs because I’m small 😅 I’m working part time so it’s helpful not only for extra money, also for extra activities. I have one year and a half living here, so any kind of activities would help to understand better my new place in the world. I’m not be able to sitting at home because I’m currently live with three cats. So will be enough for them to feel other smells in my clothes after to take care of other pets hahaha

Over: I have taken care of both dogs and cats, with experiences in house-sitting and shorter daytime visits. I've walked every type of dog from an anxious and elderly rescue, to a beagle who pulls the leash at every new smell, and to large dogs who can walk for hours and get excited at every squirrel we pass. I have grown up with both cats and a dog in my own home, and gained experience caring for them and their specific needs and wants as they reached their final years. I also have a lot of experience in childcare, which has made me hyper-responsible and patient. I love animals of all kinds and will always ensure they are safe and happy. I am currently a student at Leiden University and have classes a couple days per week. Meaning, I can come to your house whenever I am not in class! My schedule is very flexible and I am available for nights and weekends too. I can walk any type of dog big or small, clean up poop in the yard, and clean cat's litter boxes. I can also keep up with basic household chores if desired. I will also give lots of love and snuggles to your animals!
