How do I find a trusted cat sitter?

Woohoeh!!! Soon we will also have cats at Petbnb. We are extremely excited about this development. You have often asked us if we also have babysitters for cats. Now is the time that we can happily answer YES! Just a little more patience and you will be able to find a wonderful and trustworthy cat sitter for your sweetheart via Petbnb, but how do you do that exactly?

1. Choose a no-obligation Meet and Greet

A cat sitter comes into your home and that can be quite exciting. You are passing on the care of your precious little eye to someone else, and that's no mean feat! Through our website or app you can always schedule a Meet and Greet without any obligation, to see if there is a mutual click.

2. Pay attention to your first impression

At Petbnb, we want you to have a good feeling about the sitter. Is your first impression good and does the sitter introduce himself or herself nicely? Does he or she look at you when introducing himself or herself? And is he or she friendly? If the first impression doesn't feel right, choose another sitter. After all, this is about your cat, so it's okay to be a little critical!

3. Appointments

Can you easily make arrangements with the babysitter and does contact go smoothly? Does the sitter arrive on time and keep your made arrangements? Here, communication is an important aspect and creates a sense of trust.

4. Response to the cat

This is a very important one! How does the sitter react to your cat? Is he or she happy to see your cat and is there a nice closeness? Is there curiosity and does he or she ask questions? Of course, it may be that the cat and the sitter don't quite match. Not bad at all, but our advice in that case is to find another sitter.

5. Ask the right questions

It's important to ask the right questions of the sitter to get a good idea of whether you (and especially the cat and the sitter) are a match. We have come up with some questions that you can use. Of course you can add your own questions.

1. Do you have experience taking care of cats? Can you tell us something about that?
2. Why would you like to become a cat sitter?
3. If you go on home visits, how long do you plan to stay and at what times will you visit?
4. What do you do in case of an emergency?
5. What is part of grooming? Do you only want to feed the cat or do you also plan to cuddle and give it attention?

These tips will get you a long way. Hopefully you will soon have found a sweet babysitter for your sweetheart!
