  Description

  Looking for next pet sit: 17 June – 22 June 2026. Please only apply if you’re available for these exact dates.
  
  Hi! We (Kira & JJ) are based in Zaandam (about 12 minutes by train from Amsterdam), looking for a caring, reliable, and tidy sitter for our home and two cats, Ash and Mouse.
  
  Ash and Mouse are 5 years old with very different personalities—Ash is affectionate, social, and food-motivated, while Mouse is more independent and calm but enjoys company, especially in colder weather. They’re easy to care for and follow a simple routine: wet food twice a day, some kibble, and basic cleaning of their litter and sleeping areas. They also have outdoor access and come and go freely.
  
  The house is well located with great transport links (quick access to Amsterdam Centraal), a supermarket within walking distance, and everything you need nearby.
  
  We’re looking for someone who enjoys cats, is responsible, and keeps the home clean and tidy throughout their stay.
  
  In return, you’ll have a comfortable stay in Zaandam with two lovely cats and easy access to Amsterdam.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  Staying here gives you a chance to experience everyday life just outside Amsterdam, in a quieter local area while still being very well connected to the city.
  
  You’ll get a feel for a typical Dutch neighborhood—cycling around, visiting nearby supermarkets, and enjoying a more relaxed pace compared to the busy city center. At the same time, Amsterdam is very easy to reach, so you can explore museums, cafes, markets, and cultural events whenever you like.

  Mousse (4 ans)

  Takes some time to trust a stranger, but a snack will slowly open his heart. Very opinionated/talkative when you get to know him
  
  

  

  Ash (4 ans)

  Enjoy human company and love touches. Perfect lap cat and will not leave you alone sometimes.
