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.

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

Over: Ik heb jarenlange ervaring als kattenoppas en ben zeer vertrouwd met de verzorging van katten in hun eigen, vertrouwde omgeving. Ik heb ervaring met het toedienen van medicatie en houd zorgvuldig rekening met specifieke eetwensen of dieetbehoeften. Naast de basisverzorging besteed ik veel aandacht aan het welzijn van de kat: ik neem de tijd om te spelen, te borstelen, te aaien en liefde en affectie te geven. Ik ben actief betrokken en zorg ervoor dat de kat voldoende aandacht en stimulatie krijgt. Verder ben ik gewend om nagels te knippen, de kattenbak schoon te houden en de leefomgeving netjes en hygiënisch te verzorgen, inclusief stofzuigen en opruimen. Ik werk grondig, betrouwbaar en met veel liefde voor dieren. Ik heb zelf twee katten: Philippe, een kruising tussen een Siamees en een Blauwe Rus, en Momo (ook wel “Garfield”), een speels oranje katertje van 1 jaar oud. Door de zorg voor mijn eigen katten heb ik veel praktische ervaring opgedaan met dagelijkse verzorging, gedrag en behoeften van verschillende kattenkarakters. Deze persoonlijke ervaring neem ik mee in mijn werk als kattenoppas, waardoor ik goed kan inspelen op wat een kat nodig heeft op het gebied van aandacht, rust, spel en verzorging. Ik ben een echte hondenliefhebber die met veel zorg, aandacht en plezier op jouw viervoeter past. Of het nu gaat om een rustige wandeling, een lange actieve tocht in het bos of een speels uitje naar het strand – ik zorg ervoor dat jouw hond zich gelukkig, vrij en veilig voelt. Ik neem de tijd om honden echt te begrijpen en ze zichzelf te laten zijn, met al hun natuurlijke instincten. Samen spelen, rennen, ontdekken, zwemmen in zee of een meer, en lekker ravotten met andere honden hoort daar zeker bij. Maar ook voor de rustige momenten ben ik er: knuffelen op de bank, borstelen, aaien en gewoon samen ontspannen. Daarnaast ben ik verantwoordelijk en oplettend. Ik houd me netjes aan afspraken en kan indien nodig medicatie toedienen. Het welzijn van jouw hond staat altijd voorop. Ik zie elke hond als een maatje en bouw graag een band op, zodat jouw trouwe vriend zich op zijn gemak voelt, ook als jij er even niet bent. Ik werk part-time en heb ik voldoende tijd om voor een kat(ten) en-of hond(en) te zorgen. In het weekend ben ik vrij en ben ik beschikbaar voor opvang in het weekend of op werkdagen na 13.30uur. Voorbeeld dagplanning Ochtend Hond uitlaten (20–45 min) Beide dieren voeren Kattenbak schoonmaken Spelen met kat Middag Hond uitlaten (15–30 min) Korte training of spel Kat rust / eventueel spelen Namiddag Hond uitlaten (20–40 min) Actief spelen met kat Avond Beide dieren voeren Korte wandeling hond Knuffelen en rust Dagelijks/regelmatig Vers water geven Borstelen (afhankelijk van vacht) Liefde en aandacht geven ❤️

Over: Ik ben Marjon, ik ben 52 jaar oud en naast mijn 2 zoons (21&18) ben ik t meest gek op mijn twee Britse korthaar kittens Cody&Puk. Ik vind katten echt geweldige dieren. Hun manier van doen en karakter. Hoe ze bewegen en zichzelf zijn. Je wordt vanzelf blijer als er een kat om je heen is. Ik vind dat een kat ook lekker in zijn eigen omgeving moet kunnen blijven als baasje(s) weg is/zijn en vond deze app om zelf te gebruiken maar wil ook graag mensen helpen om af en toe met een goed gevoel van huis te kunnen zijn. Hopelijk kan ik dat voor jullie doen en zie ik jullie snel!

Over: Hello! I am Evridiki, from Greece and I am living in the Netherlands for the last 7 years, so is by now my second home. I am more than happy to take care of your dog(s) or cats and I can remember every detail of the instructions that will be given. I am really positive and I would like to help as much as possible. After all, its a win win since I can spend some time with adorable pets. Myself I was surrounded by two beautiful cats but they dont live with me anymore since I moved away. Let me know what you need and maybe we can arrange something. Very flexible and willing to work with you. See you soon 🐾 Im currently working in retail / famous clothing brand most afternoons. Usually free on weekends and Monday but I can always take care of your pets before and after work. I always listen to instructions. I usually dont leave doors open and on daily walks i never leave a dog unattended. Cats are always advised to stay inside.

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.

Over: Ik heb altijd honden in huis gehad. Waaronder vaak honden die uit het asiel kwamen. Hierdoor heb ik veel ervaring met honden die iets meegemaakt hebben. Daarnaast heb ik drie jaar gewerkt voor een hondenschool en vooral meegelopen bij de puppylessen. Hier heb ik veel ervaring opgedaan met puppy's en heel veel geleerd. Momenteel loop ik stage. Op de maandagen en donderdagen ben ik op kantoor. De rest van de week werk ik vanuit huis en heb ik genoeg tijd om de huisdieren aandacht te geven en honden uit te laten. Ik zorg er altijd voor dat de huisdieren het fijn hebben en veilig zijn. Ik kijk naar de afspraken die ik met het baasje gemaakt heb en zal mij daar altijd aan houden. Daarnaast zal ik blijven communiceren en de baasjes op de hoogte houden.

Over: Hi! My name is Palm. I am from Thailand and I graduated with a degree in Veterinary Medicine. I am currently studying for my master’s degree in Utrecht. I do not have formal work experience as a dog or cat sitter yet, because this kind of job is not very common in my home country. However, during my veterinary studies, I gained hands-on experience taking care of animals, including walking dogs at the animal hospital, helping with basic care, and observing their behavior and wellbeing. I am definitely a dog person, but I also love cats. Being around dogs and cats always makes me happy, and I feel that animals can heal the heart in such a special way. I am calm, responsible, gentle, and happy to follow each owner’s instructions carefully. I’m currently a master’s student, so my schedule can be quite flexible. On the days I don’t have classes, I’m happy to take care of your pets, whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or simply keeping them company. Spending time with animals also gives me a lot of positive energy. For now, I mainly offer pet care at the owner’s home or dog walking. I will always follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding routines, walking preferences, medication if needed, and any safety rules. I will make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved, and I can also send updates and photos during my visit.

“Lovely to work with, sent me lots of updates and took great care of my animals :)”

“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!”

Over: I am a veterinary nurse from Ireland with a huge love for dogs and cats. I have a broad range of experience from working in general practice, emergency and critical care, high volume shelters and even a luxury dog boarding hotel! I'm confident caring for dogs of any size and any lifestage, from energetic puppies to golden oldies (my favourites!). I love going on long walks, shorter "sniff" walks, hanging out socialising and playing making sure your pet is getting plenty of mental and physical enrichment. I am also happy to administer medication, do some basic grooming and I can also trim your dogs nails. 🐕 For dog walking or a home visit, I will spend approx 1 hour there. - For young puppies or older dogs who need shorter walks, I can happily split the hour between a shorter walk and some time playing/hanging out socializing with them. - If you need longer pet sitting eg for a few hours at a time, we can discuss this and agree on a suitable fee My weekly work schedule varies: on work days I usually have some time every day for a walk or house visit but it just depends on whether that fits with your desired time. On off days I am naturally much more flexible. As it's not possible for me to update my calender with specific times feel free to just message me and we can chat to see what can work 😊 Right now I am living in Utrecht city centre and travelling by bicycle so I am slightly limited by this, but if you don't live too far it can work! I can care for your pet in your home and will follow all guidelines you give to ensure your pet has the best care and you can be worry free. I will of course send regular updates and photos when I care for your pet also.

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: Hi! I'm Julieth from Colombia, currently living in the beautiful Netherlands. Growing up, I was always surrounded by pets, from dogs and cats to birds and small mammals. They've been a constant source of joy and learning in my life, and my passion for animals has only grown over the years. I love all kinds of animals and have extensive experience caring for them. I understand that leaving your pet in someone else's care can be a tough decision, so I strive to make that choice easier by providing the best possible care. Whether your furry friend needs a walk, some playtime, feeding, grooming, or just a bit of company, you can count on me to provide the love and attention they deserve. I believe that every pet is unique, with their own personality and needs, and I tailor my care to meet those individual requirements. My goal is to ensure your pet feels safe, happy, and comfortable while you're away. With me, your pet will not only be well-cared for but also have a fun and engaging time. I’m dedicated, reliable, and treat every pet as if they were my own. I look forward to meeting you and your beloved pets and helping to make your time apart as stress-free as possible. Let’s ensure your pet is happy, healthy, and well-cared for while you're away. Well, I'm studying a Master degree in Utrecht University, I finished my courses so my time is flexible to care pets. I love animals, share and taking care of them. I have a perfect location close to Utrecht central. I live in the first floor, I do not have kids or more pets. So, I can be exclusively dedicated to your lovely pet or pets.
