Cat care services in Groningen

Cat Boarding

Your cat stays overnight in a warm, cat-safe Groningen home. Whether in Helpman, Paddepoel, or Haren, our sitters provide personal, attentive care with no kennels.

In-Home Cat Sitting

A sitter comes to stay in your Groningen home. Your cat keeps their territory, their routine, and their favourite warm spots near the radiator.

Drop-In Visits

Daily visits for feeding, litter care, and company. Great for independent Groningen cats who love their home but need someone to check in while you're travelling or in lectures.

Cat care tips for Groningen

Keeping your cat comfortable in the north of the Netherlands

Cold northern winters

Groningen is one of the coldest cities in the Netherlands. Ensure your cat has a warm sleeping spot and instruct your sitter to keep heating consistent during cold snaps.

Northern winds and draughts

The north of the Netherlands is exposed and can be very windy. Check that all windows and doors seal properly and ask your sitter to keep your cat away from cold draughts.

Student city rhythms

Groningen has an active nightlife and festival calendar. If your cat is sound-sensitive, brief your sitter on the best calming methods and which rooms are quietest.

Indoor enrichment

Long winter days in Groningen mean cats need indoor stimulation. Leave toys, a cat tree, and scratching posts for your sitter to use during extended in-home sits.
