Over: As a ex cat owner, I have a deep love and respect for cats and their unique personalities. I understand that cats need their own space and time to warm up to new people. I am experienced in maintaining feeding schedules, cleaning litter boxes, and engaging in play that stimulates their natural instincts. As a remote worker, I am calm and observant, ensuring your cat feels safe and comfortable while you are away. Whether your cat is a social butterfly or a shy hider, I am happy to provide the gentle care and attention they deserve!

“Great catsitter”

“Juan is a very sweet guy and clearly an animal lover! My cat was in good hands, and I will certainly call Juan again the next time I need a sitter. ”

“We’re absolutely delighted with the wonderful care Ana provided for our two cats. She sent multiple daily updates (including photos!), which gave us great peace of mind. When we returned home, our cats were calm, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for.”

Over: I’ve always loved cats and grew up around animals my whole life, including having my own cat. I have experience caring for cats and understand that every cat has their own personality and needs. I’m patient, gentle, and attentive, whether your cat is playful, shy, or prefers quiet company. I’m happy to help with feeding, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, grooming, giving oral medication if needed, and making sure your cat feels safe and comfortable while you’re away. I also love sending updates and photos so owners can feel relaxed knowing their cat is in good hands 🐾

Over: I truly love animals and I care for them as if they were my own. I have many years of experience caring for dogs and cats through animal welfare and shelter work, and I am very comfortable with different personalities, including shy or rescue animals. I offer reliable pet care for dogs, cats, and small animals. I carefully follow your instructions and keep your pet's daily routine, including feeding, cleaning, medication if needed, and daily companionship. I am calm, patient, and attentive, and I always focus on your pet's safety, comfort, and emotional well- being while you are away. At the moment, I have recently settled in and I live in shared accommodation, so I am not able to host pets in my own space yet. For now, I focus on home visits and pet care in the owner's home. In the future, I plan to also offer pet boarding services.

“Camille took great care of my cat Appia. When we met before my trip, she was attentive and asking useful questions. When I was away, she sent me updates and photos and videos of Appia and made me feel at ease every day! Appia was very comfortable as well, asking her for a lot of cuddles ❤️”

“Jessa is friendly and thorough. When we first met, Jessa asked a lot of questions about Mili and her routine, which showed me that she truly cared.”

“Anna was great: reliable, and good communication, she has sent us photos and updates at each visit. What I appreciated the most was the fact that her visits were not super fast: she took her time to be with our cat on the couch, cuddling and keeping her company for a while. I highly recommend Anna as a cat sitter ☺️ ”

“Lori was absolutely superb, we could not been happier with her fantastic support! Our Palika loved her so so much! She played with her, feed her, cuddled her and sent us pictures and videos every day. She was such a loving new bestie to Palika, and we are so so grateful for Lori! Thank you for your absolutely wonderful help Lori! 🌷”

Over: Hey! I’m Cristóvão. I’ve always been surrounded by animals, since I grew up with five cats and one dog, who were a very important part of my upbringing. They taught me responsibility, patience, and how to understand different personalities and needs. I recently moved to the Netherlands to pursue my dream of becoming a classical music composer. Since I’m no longer close to my own pets, caring for other animals and meeting fellow animal lovers brings me great joy, allowing me to share the love and attention I have for them. I have already done some pet sitting for friends, helping take care of their animals when they were away. I only recently discovered Pawshake and Cat in a Flat, and it motivated me to make this caring activity more regular and consistent. I would love to offer my time, attention, and affection to other pets, giving them a safe and loving environment while their owners are away. Let me know if I can assist you or your pet!

“Mijn katten en papegaaien hebben een topvakantie gehad met Camila. Ik kon mijn dieren met een gerust hart achterlaten. Elke dag kreeg ik een update met foto’s en ik kon zien dat de dieren bij haar op hun gemak waren. Fijn om een betrouwbare oppas in huis te hebben!”

“Rachel is an amazing catsitter! She responded fast to messages, we communicated easily. She sent photos and videos which I love to see every day. The cats adore her! She played with them, and did a very good job with the food and litterbox. She even vacuumed! Awesome job!”

Over: Hi, I’m Umut. I’ve been around animals for nearly 20 years, and cats hold a special place in my heart. All of my cats were rescued from the street—they found me, and we became family. I lost my oldest girl, Firuş, and now share my life with Yaşar and Hüsnü.

Over: Hello! I'm Mari and I live in The Hague. I love the beach, gardening, cooking, reading, being outdoors and, of course, animals! I have had cats and dogs all my life and have experience looking after both cats and dogs through Cat in a Flat and privately outside the platform. I have worked in animal shelters and cat cafés in the Netherlands and abroad and have experience caring for cats with different personalities and needs, including some that required extra (medical) attention. I offer house visits for cats and dogs, dog walking, and overnight stays. Besides cats and dogs, I also have a soft spot for horses, donkeys, goats, and chickens. Animals have always been a natural part of my life, and spending time with them never feels like work to me. I currently work remotely as a Gender and Climate Expert for an NGO, which gives me a flexible schedule. I speak Dutch, English, and German. When I look after your pet, I don't just come in to do the chores and leave again. Whether it's a cat who enjoys company, a dog who loves a long walk, or a shy pet who needs a bit of patience, I always take the time to make them feel comfortable, cared for, and loved. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members!

“Koen en vriendin Karen zijn hele lieve verantwoordelijke oppassers voor je huisdieren, alle geduld en aandacht, foto updates en huis zelfs gestofzuigd, wat wil je nog meer 🤩👍. Ik raad ze dan ook van harte aan voor als je een oppas zoekt die in je huis verblijft.”

“Maria took excellent care of my cat during my holiday of two weeks. She made sure all needs of my cat were met, was flexible in her schedule and easy to communicate with. Highly recommend!”

Over: Ik heb ervaring met verschillende soorten katten, waaronder rustige katten, speelse katten en katten die wat meer tijd nodig hebben om iemand te vertrouwen 🐱🤍 Tijdens huisbezoeken let ik goed op gedrag, eetlust, drinken en of alles in huis verder in orde is. Ik neem rustig de tijd voor aandacht en knuffels als een kat daar behoefte aan heeft, maar respecteer ook hun grenzen wanneer ze liever op zichzelf zijn ✨

Over: Hi! Mijn naam is Chayenne en ik ben van jongs af aan al opgegroeid met katten. Hierdoor begrijp ik goed hoe verschillend katten kunnen zijn — van speels en aanhankelijk tot juist wat rustiger of op zichzelf. Tijdens huisbezoeken zorg ik ervoor dat jouw kat niets tekortkomt in zijn of haar eigen vertrouwde omgeving. Ik geef eten en drinken, maak de kattenbak schoon en neem altijd de tijd voor aandacht, knuffels of juist rustige aanwezigheid — precies wat jouw kat nodig heeft. Een bezoek duurt gemiddeld 30–60 minuten, zodat er genoeg tijd is voor zowel verzorging als contact. Ik werk rustig, geduldig en met respect voor het tempo en karakter van de kat. Daarnaast vind ik het belangrijk dat jij als baasje ook met een gerust gevoel weg kunt. Daarom communiceer ik duidelijk en kan ik eventueel updates of foto’s sturen tijdens de oppasperiode 🤍 Heb je vragen of wil je kennismaken? Stuur gerust een berichtje 🐾

Over: I have been caring for my own cats for 3 years, giving them love, attention, and proper care every day I treat every cat like my own
