Woerden, close to Utrecht, with 2 beautiful cats
Introduction
We recently moved to a picturesque village - Woerden - in the Netherlands. We are from Cape Town and brought along our two cat children Atticus and Scout. Dieter works as a HR Researcher and Zani is a Nutrition Specialist. We do like to travel and want to make sure that our two cats and home are safe and cared for when we are out of town.

We stay in the green heart of the Netherlands a beautiful village called Woerden, a 15 minute train ride from Utrecht. We are about a 15-minute walk away from the station (there is also a bus if you don’t want to walk ;)). We live in a house with a small garden. The house has 2 bedrooms, a kitchen and a separate spacious living room with connected internet. There is a separate office space that is quiet and ideal for getting a lot done ;) The house is walking distance from the home is the village center with shops, restaurant and several pubs.

The sitter will be required to feed the cats at 07:00 and again at 18:00. Fill the water bowls with fresh water in the morning. Clean the litter boxes in the morning and evening. If it is a long stay, the sitter will be required to change the litter. The cats must be brushed every second day. The sitter should preferably be home in the evenings and if possible during the day (but not essential). Sitter will also have to water the house plants once a week in winter or twice a week in summer. Ensure that house is clean and tidy before leaving. (We promise to leave you a clean house before we leave :) )

We spent a delightful weekend at Zani and Dieter's home in Woerden taking care of Atticus and Scout. Atticus loved cuddling sessions with us on the couch and he would follow us around the house. Scout preferred to spend time by herself, only showing up at breakfast or dinner, or maybe if she wanted to go outside. Both cats are beautiful, respectful, independent, and did I say that they are beautiful!? I just loved immersing my hands in their fluffy hair and giving them belly rubs! Zani and Dieter's house is big, clean, and has great ventilation and natural light. The decoration is exquisite and they left us chocolate to thank us for the sitting! Woerden is small but lively. We enjoyed walking and bicycling around, and had the chance to go to the cute Saturday market. On Sunday we did a free walking tour in Utrecht, an experience we recommend if you are in this area. The house was so comfortable, the town so charming and the cats so adorable that we would have stayed here for a whole month, hands down. Thank you, Zani and Dieter, for the opportunity, and we would love to come back in the future to give some cuddles to Atticus and Scout!

What a great sit. Had a fantastic time with the gorgeous Atticus & Scout. Evenings were a sofa snugglefest! They really are no trouble at all. They eat well, are friendly, happy souls, and get along well as a pair. I was even honoured with some co-sleeping, which I love, but if that’s not your thing they fully respect a closed door too. Woerden is a really attractive town with a calm vibe, and the bonus of easy access to Amsterdam, Utrech, Gouda and more. Zani & Dieter are communicative, sociable and welcoming. It was a pleasure to take care of their lovely home and superstar cats. Would recommend this sit without hesitation.

Atticus and Scout are two sweet and affectionate cats. They were easy to look after, quite independent, but seeking out attention when they wanted it. Zani & Dieter have a very comfortable home & they gave very clear instructions on how everything worked in the house. Woerden is a lovely town, within easy reach of other Dutch towns & cities if you want to explore further afield.

Atticus and Scout are such cute little fluff balls! They are bit shy in the beginning but give them some time and before you know it you are best friends! House is nicely located in a quiet neighbourhood just outside the city center. 🌈

Zani was a great host and their home is cosy and clean. Woerden is a small town with everything you might need, we really liked the farmers market. Atticus and Scout are gorgeous cats, they don’t take long to warm up to you and loved cuddling up on the couch. We definitely recommend this sit 😊
