Pet Sitters in Zevenaar

Jens & Birgit

I found Jens and Birgit to be very caring people who had the best interests of my pets at heart. At the time of their sit I had taken in a stray dog and they have decided to adopt him. Unfortunately they could not do the whole sit, but they handed over to the next people with no problem at all. I would recommend them to anyone wanting a house/pet sitter.

Ellen

Ellen was a delight to have as a catsitter. Her calm personality and inspiring life gave me deep confidence to leave my babies in her care, and everything went smoothly during my absence. Clear and easy communication, tidy place when I came home. I would have Ellen back as a sitter anytime. Thanks again Ellen!

Bryan & Jetske

We highly thank and recommend Bryan and Jetske for your next pet sit - that is if we are not utilizing them again first ;). They took such great care of our pets and our home. They treat them as if it’s their family! They are very accommodating and very caring. Big thank you to Bryan and Jetske!

Henri & Annelies

Henri and Annalies were great. Friendly and obvious dog lovers. Sacha, our 8 month old cocker, was recovering from a fractured scapula and they managed to cope with a dog who was meant to be restrained but wanted to run and play. If I have a comment, it is that they were too soft in that respect but I know how hard it is to enforce cage rest on a hyper active puppy. I don’t think it was clear from the outset that they would be bringing their own dog but he had a splendid temperament and helped Sacha socialise (as opposed to roughing up our older, very gentle spaniel, which was his previous form of interaction). The house was beautifully clean, the sheets and towels all laundered and milk etc left for our return. All in all very happy to ask them back if they are free in the future.

Lana & Michael

It was an absolute pleasure having Lana and Michael staying with our beloved cats Bella and Nova and fish. It was really easy to communicate with them and it gave us great piece of mind being abroad. Coming home to a clean and a well-cared for home was also amazing. I can highly recommend them for any stay.

Suzanne

I will highly recommend Suzanne! She cared not only for my two dogs and ~20 chickens during my three weeks vacation, she also took care of the pool and watered plants and fruit trees. Everything in perfect order and she surprised me with homemade chocolate fudge when I come home. She is more than welcome back.

Christina

We had a wonderful experience with Christina. She was so easy to work with and really nice person. We received several updates with photos and saw that our dog got a lot of attention and love. We also came home to an extremely clean flat. Cannot recommend enough.

Evi & Teun

Wonderful, lovely family! We are very grateful to have had them here. They are allways welcome back - also just for a visit. One of our best housesitters so far! :-)

Manuela

Manuela is a very sweet girl. She is social and kind to others. She helped my parents a lot (who live next door) and my mother really was a great fan of her. So she has good social skills. Manuela uses this site so she can find a place to stay, while she is looking for a job in the Netherlands or elsewhere in Europe. While she was staying in NL, she was following a study at the University. All that of course is not a problem at all; I realize that a lot of people here are using this site to find free or cheap accomodation. However this is a pet site, so the reliability and the quality of the petsitting should be the primary focus. 10 days before the sitting would take place, she informed me that she wouldn't be able to be present during the entire sit due to an in-person conference at the university that would last for a week. Of course this was less then ideal to me but since it was impossible to find another petsitter on such a short notice I went out of my way to find a replacement, and decided to pursue with her as my petsitter. However, half way during her stay she mentioned she would be gone for another week to do her exams at the university. So out of the entire month, she was only present for 50% of it. I had to make sure that I could find a replacement again. Luckily my stepdad was willing to take the care upon him. My pets are my babies so it is super important for me that the petsitter who applies for a period, actually is there the entire period. One of my cats, Frances was not eating well during her stay at my house. Of course that can happen; animals can get sick any time and that doesn't need to be a result of the care. However, my stepdad told me that the bowls in where the cats got their food in, were not clean and got dirty and even mold in it. When he stepped in and cleaned the bowls, Frances started eating again and after a couple of days he was back on his normal eating pattern. Another incident was with the rabbits, I gave her a manual in where I explicitly told her which veggies to give the rabbits and which not. I was not amused to see that she had fed them an entire plate of cut up carrots, while I had told her that they could only have a little piece of a carrot per day. My rabbits have supersensitive intestines and quickly to get gas problems. Carrots have a lot of sugar, so an entire plate can cause problems. Manuela did apply requests I made during my stay abroad; she did apply a spray against flies, when I asked her to and even washed one of the bunnies when that needed to happen. When I came home, I had to do some cleaning. Manuela hadn't noticed that the cats had been spraying on different places, including the kitchen counter and kitchen walls and cabinets. The state of the house was less important to me; I did notice she had cleaned the rabbit area very well so I was happy about that. I think Manuela did her best but just is a bit more casual about things then I would be.

Giulia

Giulia and Cristina were absolutely lovely, very caring and genuine people- it was a pleasure to have them stay and take care of Saffy. We were really happy to meet them and hope they might be able to stay another time!

Amber

Our two dogs very much enjoyed having Amber & Jeroen and their small son looking after them for nearly two weeks. Everyone settled in very quickly and we think (hope) a good time was had by all. Communications were great and we thoroughly enjoyed receiving some pictures via whatsapp so we could see how things were going. A very nice family who looked after our pets very well. We would recommend them.

Joop & Lisette

We loved having Lisette & Joop as sitters for our two cats. Planning and communication was easy, Aziraphale and Crowley were in great shape when we got back, and everything was tidy and clean. We'd gladly have them as sitters again.

Susan

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Susan and Keith´s beautiful house in the south of Tenerife. As soon as we arrived we were welcomed with open arms and they made us feel like we were part of their family immediately. They are charming, warm people and we consider ourselves lucky to have had the chance to sit for them.
Their four cats were a delight to spend time with and their unique personalities complemented each other perfectly. Jerry, a gorgeous long-haired male was an absolute sweetheart, demanding to be brushed and looking for conversation with us all the time. Tom, the other incredibly handsome male, was not as chatty as Jerry but warmed up to us as the days went by and it was a pleasure to groom him and give him a good scratch around his chin. Then there are the two female Siamese mix kitties, Kessie and the Duchess. Kessie is a tender little cat, who although wasn´t around too much at first, soon spent a lot of time around us looking for belly rubs and purring away. And then there´s the Duchess, who stole our hearts (and a space in our bed!), our chatty shadow practically the whole time we were there. We felt so honoured to have been accepted by this eclectic and wonderful bunch of moggies.
Susan and Keith did their best to make us feel as comfortable as possible in their house, for which we are truly grateful. So, if you get the chance to come and sit for them, don´t hesitate for one second because you´ll find a very special couple that are going to welcome you with big smiles, warm hearts and an admirable positivity. Thanks for everything!!

Philip and Nicky

I would highly recommend this sit. Bob is an extremely affectionate cat, no trouble at all and always gives a lot back. Phil and Nick are very nice people and were very helpful in explaining everything thoroughly before the sit. Chorlton and the city centre are a short bus ride away and there are plenty of shops and takeaways a few minutes walk away. An all round excellent option :-)

Elizabeth

It was a great experience pet and house sitting for Liz and her family! Argos is sweet and very easy to care for. He loves his walks and his pets. Liz and Ben were awesome and even gave me some great suggestions for exploring Boston. Overall, they're a lovely family with a beautiful home and I highly recommend this sit.

Vivien

A lovely two weeks with my new friend Eilidh the red setter. She's such a gentle,  loving dog. Amazing location with lovely walks,  an abundance of wildlife and Vivien and Mike's stunning home. Viv and Mike made me feel very welcome and comfortable.

Tyana

We have really enjoyed our time at Tyana's place. Her apartment is very cozy and in a nice location. Tyana made sure to provide us with everything we needed beforehand and she was very responsive, whenever we texted. Her cat Jasmine is a sweetheart, very warm and playful. She loves cuddles and will sleep in the bed next to you, we miss her already :)!

kathy

We loved staying at Kathy and Bernie's beautiful home and looking after all their amazing pets! The three dogs are so affectionate and we were instantly enveloped in big fluffy cuddles, which we enjoyed all week long. Dibble the cat was very shy when we arrived, but we spent lots of time with him and by the end of the sit he would come and play with us. The alpacas are very curious and adorable - once they got used to us we were able to pet them and feed them by hand! The ducks and chickens were easy to look after and gave us lots of eggs! The fields surrounding the house were perfect for walking the dogs every day, and the area is so peaceful. We can't wait to come back in June, thank you for having us!
