Cat Sitters in Gemeente Gouda

Kimberley & Stanley

Stanley and Kimberley were excellent sitters. We were updated regularly via WhatsApp. They even prepared a nice meal when we returned from our journey. We would recommend them to anyone looking for a pet sitter. And ... Ginger loved them, too.

Stuart & Kathrine

Stuart and Kathrine were incredibly nice. Extremely sincere, honest reliable and almost ‘too good to be true’. I’ve been ranting about how generally nice the were to both my son and I (they even have us a lift to the airport and collected us - as opposed to getting an Uber). They were great with Buster (and my plants!). Buster was so enthusiastic about them from the moment they visited my apartment initially to meet spontaneously! They shared updates, pictures, funny stories and my dog was extremely happy! I hope they stay or even take Buster more often as they have such a nice bond. My son, my Neighbour’s all commented very positively about how attentive and caring they were! Highly recommended and extremely grateful! Ronan, Luca and Buster

Jessica & Robert

Jessica & Robert took great care of taco and we were lucky enough they brought their well behaved dog charley with them. for extra company. Communication was fast throughout with regular updates and we came back to a happy puppy and clean house. They even took him on a road trip out to the beach. Thanks for everything

Gretel

I had Gretel stay with my kitties for the second time and just like the first, everything went great. My kitties loved her and she kept me informed about them and sent pics. Pelona needed an ointment and Gretel helped me put it on her happily. I am very grateful with her for keeping my house and my kitties safe and would definitely ask her for help again no hesitation. Totally recommend her 🩷

Jilles

Jilles and Niels were brilliant dog sitters. Easy to communicate with and looked after our dog and the house perfectly. Came home to a very happy dog and a clean house. Would definitely recommend them.

Carla

Carla was an amazing sitter and just a fun person to have around and interact with. We originally asked her to care for our three cats, however at the last minute, we asked if she could also give eye medication to my mom's cat down the road. She was very amenable and accommodating and it was greatly appreciated. She kept in contact with us throughout our trip and sent photos of the kitties so we wouldn't miss them too much. When we arrived home we found a plate of freshly baked cookies and an immaculate house. Carla is a real treasure and any household would be lucky to have her sit for them.

Anouk

From the moment I read Anouk’s application knew she would be the perfect sitter. We had a nice video chat which confirmed that feeling. Because Anouk lives in The Netherlands she was able to come over a week before I left for the handover. This enabled us both to come and leave at our leisure and not worry about the handover right before/after travelling. Anouk is a very calm and friendly person and my cats took to her immediately. Communication before, during and after the sit was always comfortable and quick and she sent me some photos and videos of my cats and chickens who were all looking happy and healthy. I especially loved the photo of my cat Pippi on Anouk’s lap just an hour or so after she’d arrived. It made me feel confident my pets were in good care. I came home to a clean and tidy home with some fresh milk and yoghurt in the fridge and a lovely handmade card, as well as happy pets. I can highly recommend Anouk and would love to have her return anytime.

Nathalie

Nathalie, Richard and Scott took very good care of our three medium/large dogs. We felt like they were left in good hands. One of our dogs developed an issue with her paw just before we left which made her anxious on certain grounds. Richard was great and actually carried her for part of the walks to make sure she wasn't left out of the fun. They were great communicators and gave regular updates (with photos). They left the house very clean and tidy. Even replacing the oat milk we left for them.

Nina

I can’t recommend Nina enough! She took amazing care of our cats , plants and house. We received regular updates and the cats were always relaxed and happy:) We also really appreciated Nina’s flexibility. We hope she will pet sit for us again in the future :)

Corina

Corina, Patrick and Jade were perfect housesitters. They gave the animals so much love and care and kept the house clean and tidy. They sent us photos of the animals and what they were doing. Jade was wonderful with Teddy our dog and possible gave even more cuddles than my own daughter does! We would welcome Corina and family back any time. xx

Anna

Anna did a wonderful job looking after our pets and our home. The house was spotless when we returned home and we were delighted by the flowers that she had prepared to welcome us home. While we were away, Anna sent us daily photographs and videos of the dogs and cats, which really helped put our minds at peace. Our pets were spoilt with 2-3 walks per day and lots of cuddles, if the photos are anything to go by. I have no hesitation in recommending Anna to others seeking a house/dog sitter, and I will reach out to Anna if we need similar services in future.

Yelle

Yelle & Anna cared for our fur babies for 6 weeks from December until mid January. They are absolutely lovely & I instantly liked them as soon as they came to our apartment. The dogs ADORED them which was clear to see when I returned after 6 weeks. They were happy, healthy, clean & obviously loved & very well looked after. Throughout my 6 weeks away Yelle & Anna sent regular updates, photos & video of how they were all getting on & were more than happy to have a Skype chat on Christmas Day! Over New Year my husband & I were on honeymoon & we were able to totally relax & enjoy ourselves knowing our dogs were safe & happy. I would highly recommend Yelle & Anna if you are wanting a wonderful couple to love your animals & care for your home. Everything was clean & tidy when I returned & we had a lovely meal together on their last night here. I hope so much they can care for Daenerys & Scruffy Bear again, I know they both missed Yelle & Anna when they left, as did I & we have made wonderful new friends in the process. My husband, our fur babies & I couldn’t be happier.

Jennifer

Joss and Axel went above and beyond as house/pet sitters! They took great care of Stella and our home while we were away. We came home to a happy dog and a clean house. They were very keen to get the routine down and learn all the rules about walking, feeding and the treat schedule so Stella would be happy. They were patient and caring with our stubborn old girl and we really appreciated that. They also added time on each end of the trip to accommodate for any flight disruptions, which allowed time for everyone to get to know each other and fall into the routine smoothly. We highly recommend them as house/pet sitters and hope to see them again in the future!

Julie

A massive thank you to Chris who answered my call for an emergency quick sitter due to a death in the family.
Chris only lives about an hour away so was able to come and housesit at short notice.
Not only did Abby, Ava and Ozzy enjoy having him here I think our friends in the village also enjoyed his company.
We returned to happy pets and a very clean and tidy home.
We would definitely invite Chris to sit again and would definitely recommend him to others.
