Op de kat passen Zeist

Over: Hi! I'm an experienced and compassionate pet carer currently living in the Netherlands. I’ve raised two sibling cats since they were just one month old — they are now over three years old and thriving. I’ve been their full-time caregiver, responsible for everything from daily feeding, grooming, and bathing to playing, vet visits, and even administering medication when needed. In addition to caring for my own pets, I also rescued a stray cat mother and her five newborn kittens back in Shanghai. I nursed them to health and successfully found loving homes for each of them. I’ve also rescued and rehomed a stray Chinese rural dog, and I currently have a sweet 7-year-old pug who’s been with my family since she was 2 months old. I grew up around big dogs like German Shepherds, so I’m confident and comfortable with dogs of all sizes. While I’m in the Netherlands without my pets at the moment, I have the time, energy, and heart to care for yours. Whether it’s a playful kitten, a senior cat, a hyper pup, or a gentle giant — I’m ready to give them the love and attention they deserve. Currently, I’m living in the Netherlands to accompany my family, and I’m not working full-time, so I have plenty of time and a flexible schedule throughout the week — both weekdays and weekends. This allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m happy to adjust my availability based on your pet’s needs, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals, so caring for pets feels like a rewarding part of my everyday life, not a chore. Whether I'm caring for pets in my own home or in the pet owner's home, I always prioritize creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment. When hosting pets at my place, I prepare a clean and secure space tailored to their needs, with regular feeding, fresh water, clean litter (for cats), and plenty of play and rest time. I follow the owner’s instructions closely to maintain the pet’s routine and reduce any stress from being in a new place. If I’m visiting or staying at the owner’s home, I make sure to respect their space and maintain the pet’s familiar routine. I keep the area clean, provide updates to the owner, and pay close attention to important details like mealtime, walks, litter or potty breaks, and quality interaction time. Whether it’s a quick drop-in, a walk, daycare, or overnight sitting, I adapt my care style to each pet’s individual needs and personality, offering them patience, safety, and lots of love.

Over: /NEDERLANDS Ik ben opgegroeid met dieren en heb door de jaren heen voor allerlei huisdieren gezorgd, waaronder katten, honden, papegaaien, vissen en konijnen. Daarnaast heb ik jarenlang paardgereden. Op latere leeftijd heb ik meer dan 10 jaar mijn eigen agapornissen gehad (lovebirds), waardoor ik veel ervaring heb opgedaan met dagelijkse verzorging, verantwoordelijkheid en het begrijpen van de behoeften van een huisdier. Op dit moment heb ik zelf geen huisdieren meer en ik merk dat ik het gezelschap van dieren erg mis. Daarom vind ik oppassen op huisdieren zo leuk. Regelmatig pas ik op de dieren van familie en vrienden, en ik geniet er echt van om tijd met dieren door te brengen. Of jouw huisdier nu houdt van lange wandelingen, spelen, knuffelen of gewoon een vertrouwd gezicht in huis, ik zorg ervoor dat ze zich veilig, comfortabel en geliefd voelt! /ENGLISH I grew up surrounded by animals and have cared for many different pets over the years, including cats, dogs, parrots, fish, and rabbits. I also spent many years horse riding. Later in life, I had my own lovebirds (agapornis parrots) for more than 10 years, which gave me plenty of experience with daily pet care, responsibility, and understanding the needs of animals. At the moment, I don't have any pets of my own anymore, and I really miss having animals around. That's one of the reasons I enjoy pet sitting so much. I regularly look after pets for family and friends, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. /NEDERLANDS Ik werk 36 uur per week en werk 2 à 3 dagen vanuit huis. De dagen die als beschikbaar staan aangegeven op mijn profiel zijn de dagen waarop ik thuiswerk. Omdat mijn werk vrij flexibel is, heb ik gedurende de dag genoeg tijd voor wandelingen, spelen, eten geven en natuurlijk veel aandacht en knuffels voor jouw huisdier. In de weekenden heb ik alle tijd om extra aandacht te besteden aan de verzorging en het gezelschap van jouw huisdier. Jouw huisdier zal nooit tekortkomen aan aandacht, beweging, liefde en een fijne omgeving :) /ENGLISH I work a 36-hour week and work from home 2–3 days during the week. The days marked as available on my profile are the days I work from home. Because my job is quite flexible, I have plenty of time throughout the day for walks, playtime, feeding, and of course giving your pet lots of attention and affection. During weekends, I have even more time to dedicate to your pet's care and company. Your pet will never be short on attention, cuddles, or exercise while staying with us :) /NEDERLANDS Ik woon in een modern nieuwbouwappartement in een rustige omgeving. Mijn woning is schoon, veilig en comfortabel, met een ruim stenen balkon dat volledig is afgesloten met glazen wanden, waardoor huisdieren veilig kunnen genieten van frisse lucht en zon. /ENGELS I live in a modern, newly built apartment in a quiet area. My home is clean, safe, and comfortable, with a spacious stone balcony enclosed by glass panels where pets can safely enjoy some fresh air and sunshine.

“Lovely Rita looked after my cat and sent updates every day. I am so happy about her service and would highly recommend!❤️🙏 Thank you Rita 🐱”

“Arisara has taken the best care of Apollo and Astra! Communication was good and clear all throughout and she left clear reports with pictures after every visit. The kitties seemed to be okay with her presence even though they didn’t know her yet (my cats are a bit shy). Can def recommend booking Arisara as a cat sitter☺️”

“Mariana was great with Roeg. She is very friendly without losing control over our very energetic and over-exited puppy. Would highly recommend.”

“Wat een fijne geweldige oppas is Manon voor onze katten geweest. Erg betrokken en heel zorgzaam. Raff en Poema kwamen direct aangelopen toen ze een dag later na thuiskomst de sleutel kwam terugbrengen. Ze hoorde haar stem en kwamen meteen van buiten naar binnen gelopen. Dus goeie band opgebouwd samen! Top oppas Groet Karin”

“Mariah took care of our 3 cats during a long holiday. She kept us informed every time and sent us pictures. The cats were really happy to see her and got much needed cuddles. We had a few days of heatwaves and she made sure the kitties got fresh water, clean litterboxes and the fans turned on as well. She’s been great with us, thank you Mariah!”

“Monique is absolutely amazing! She is very kind and thoughtful - our cats were super lucky to be looked after by her. She was very consistent with her visits and constantly provided us with new pictures. We highly recommend her as a pet sitter!”

Over: Hoi, ik ben Moniek en ik ben een echte dierenliefhebber. Ik word nergens gelukkiger van dan omringd zijn met dieren. Afgelopen jaren heb ik veel ervaring opgedaan in dierenasiels in het buitenland, vooral met honden maar ook met katten. Hierdoor ben ik gewend om met verschillende karakters en behoeften om te gaan. Op dit moment heb ik helaas nog niet de mogelijkheid om zelf een dier te adopteren. Daarom vind ik het leuk om als oppas of hondenuitlater aan de slag te gaan. Zo kan ik toch tijd doorbrengen met dieren en tegelijkertijd baasjes helpen door hun huisdier de aandacht, zorg en beweging te geven die het verdient. Ik ben betrouwbaar, geduldig en zorgzaam, en ik behandel ieder dier alsof het mijn eigen is. Of het nu gaat om een fijne wandeling, spelen, knuffelen of gewoon gezelschap houden. Ik zou graag oppassen bij de dieren in huis of gaan wandelen met honden in de nabije omgeving van Utrecht. Ik heb geen auto en zoek daarom oppasadressen dicht bij huis. Bij boekingen buiten fietsafstand breng ik de reiskosten met het OV in rekening. Ik werk normaal ma-vr, maar mijn uren zijn flexibel, dus we kunnen samen kijken wat mogelijk is. Ik werk normaal ma-vr maar mijn uren zijn heel flexibel. We kunnen dus samen kijken wat er mogelijk is. In het weekend ben ik meestal beschikbaar. Ik pas op bij het huisdier thuis en wandel met honden in hun eigen vertrouwde omgeving, altijd aan de riem. Als er speciale wensen zijn dan volg ik deze altijd op.

Over: I began working with animals in 2016 through Paws and Claws, an independent daycare and dog walking service in the UK. My responsibilities included walking, feeding, and caring for dogs throughout the morning and afternoon. I was also responsible for pick-up and drop-off, which involved being trusted with access to clients’ homes. Alongside this, I carried out house calls to help socialise dogs or check in on those who didn’t require a full day of on-site daycare. At the daycare facility, I comfortably handled groups of up to ten dogs of varying breeds, sizes, and temperaments on walks in the local woodlands. As demand grew, I expanded my services to include house and pet sitting across several nearby villages and towns. Over the years, I have cared for a wide range of animals, including dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, and guinea pigs, and I am also happy to tend to gardens or house plants when needed. After moving to Utrecht for my studies, I began offering my own dog walking and pet sitting services to pet owners that I met in the city or at surrounding walking spots. During my time in Utrecht, I also worked for a local hondenuitlaat service, which gave me experience with a lot of common (and some less common) Dutch breeds. A few years later, I am now living in Amsterdam, working full-time with dogs at a fantastic farm facility outside of the city, and finishing up my Master's degree. Do I sound like the right fit for you and your dog? Drop me a message and we can arrange an initial meeting to get to know each other better! (Multiple positive references available upon request). I work a few days a week at a dog daycare organisation on a rural farmland property outside of Amsterdam. On my working days, if I am looking after a dog, I like to bring them with me so that they can socialise with the pack. All transport is done using a fully converted, dog-friendly wagon with additional AC (and lots of cookies!). If a dog needs to be left alone or doesn't get along with other dogs, this can also be easily accommodated during the day in a safe, penned-off area at the facility. On my days off, I am entirely flexible and work from home while finishing my Master's thesis, making my routine highly compatible with dedicated pet care. I live with my girlfriend in a large, multi-room apartment in the Rivierenbuurt neighbourhood of Amsterdam. The location is convenient for dogs and humans alike, being just a short walk from several metro stations and with easy drop-off outside via street access. We are lucky to be located just a stone's throw away from Beatrixpark and Martin Luther Kingpark, with the Amstel and the Amsterdamse Bos close by, providing some wonderful green spaces right on our doorstep for daily walks. Our apartment has two balconies (one of which gets the sun all day long ☀️☀️☀️) and plenty of comfy space inside for dogs to relax. All my dog guests get an entire room to themselves to ensure they have their own quiet and safe space to rest—unless, of course, they prefer to cuddle up with us on the sofa or in bed... Because of my professional background managing packs, safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities, whether looking after a pet in my home or yours.

Over: I have always had furry friends next to me ever since I was little, I currently have 3 cats of my own at home in Mexico and they are the loves of my life. I know how important it is to feel safe when leaving your furry friend in a new place, please know that for me it’s extremely important that both you and your furry feel comfortable at all times! :) I am a full time student which means my schedule can fluctuate a bit, my schedule will always be up to date and house sitting is possible no matter my schedule! I will always ensure I can give my full attention and best service to your beloved furry friend! I would love to meet you and your furry before hand if possible, this can be through a quick 15-20 min online video call or in person!
