Chat-o-Maison
During your absence, you can rely on our professional catsitters. They visit your home and provide everything so your cat can stay as relaxed as possible in its own familiar environment and still receive adequate attention and care.
It's an incredible responsibility to take care of someone's beloved pet. That is why our catsitters have invested in training and education. They can also always reach our cat behavior therapists and vet for advice if necessary.
The advantages of a catsitter at home
Your cat doesn't have to leave her own territory and familiar environment where she feels safe. This can limit potential stress.
Our cat servants are trained and have the required knowledge to take good care of your animal as stressless as possible!
You can rest assured! Your feline friend will be looked after well. We visit every day to give your cat the essential attention, hugs and care. We keep an eye on whether she continues to feel good and intervene quickly in case of any problems. Besides all that, you're sure your house is monitored during your absence.
About our catsitting sessions
Obviously we provide food, drinks, attention and the necessary care. There are some special items that we pay special attention to at Chat-o-Maison. These are included in the price:
Cleaning the area around the litter box
Not only do we clean the litter box itself, but also the area around it (with a brush or swiffer). We consciously choose not to use a vacuum cleaner. Few cats think this is a nice experience. Plus, your absence can be pretty drastic for the cat.
That's why we try to avoid extra stress.
Playing with the cat
Each cat servant brings its own range of toys to ensure sufficient variety.
If there are several cats, we try to play with all cats individually. Cats are solitary hunters after all, so they prefer not to share playtime with others (even if they get along just fine).
Puzzle collection
Even if you let someone care for your cat(s), they'll likely receive less attention than they are used to on a daily basis.
That's why they can use extra distractions.
We provide thinking puzzles that stimulate the cat mentally. It's advisable to feed cats this way. But if your cats don't know it yet, we try to teach them (if desired). However, this can only happen if it doesn't give the cat more stress! If not, they always get food in the way they're used to! Do your cats understand the concept of puzzles? In that case, it's an excellent opportunity to test extra puzzles. :-)
Additional tools for stress relief
If necessary, we support the cat during our sessions with stress-reducing aids such as valerian (to eat) or Feliway spray (comforting pheromones).

"During our vacation, we entrusted our 3 cats to the care of Joline and her team for the 2nd time. We're very satisfied with the given care. One of our older cats is struggling with health issues and they kept an eye on her extra closely. For Joline and her team of catsitters this isn't just a job, they really love cats. As a customer you know that the cats are in safe hands."
"During our last holiday we relied on the services of Chat-O-Gand for the first time. Our two cats stayed at home, but they were able to enjoy a holiday as well because of the good care of Wiske. We're very satisfied and it was pleasant to come home to a small gift and an extensive report about the vacation and our two little trouble-makers! :) "
"Excellent service! We always leave with peace of mind! Our cat is in good hands."
Good to know…
- If the cat(s) need to be given medication and this is difficult (because, for example: the cat is constantly hiding or because two people are needed) we recommend that you book a hotel stay instead. This way, we can provide the correct care for sure.
- If the cat(s) are shy and don't dare to show themselves to the catsitter, you can also consider a hotel stay to be able to do the required daily check-ups. In our Chat-o-Resort we always do everything to make the cat as comfortable as possible.
- If the cat(s) are allowed outside during your absence (whether or not through a hatch), you must give explicit permission and you remain responsible.
- The vaccinations and parasite control must be administered before the catsitting period.
- We don't accept catsitting assignments that are combined on the same days with external catsitters who don't collaborate with Chat-o-Gand.
