Marian's Purrfect Retreat @ Amsterdam
Marian & Guest's Pets
Ever since I was a child, I've had a natural and profound love and fascination towards nature and all 6als. Caring for 6als just comes so naturally to me that I've grown so fast as a pet sitter in Amsterdam and now it has become my full-time business. I also volunteer at the local 6al shelter (DOA) which gives me even more experience and knowledge to better care for pets.
Since ***, I’ve been providing boarding, pet sitting and dog walking for cats, dogs and small 6als! I've had more than amazing reviews from all pet owners that I've worked with.
I also dedicate the time and effort take courses, attend seminars and read books about how to understand and better care for pets.
In my life I have adopted three cats. One is fearful, one a misfit and one skittish.
Most people would see them as distant or unfriendly! But that's not how I see them.
To me they are very sensitive and gentle souls who just need to feel safe and loved unconditionally.

About Marian's Purrfect Retreat
Summary.
In pet boarding, I welcome the pets and take care of them at my place. I live with my husband, who is as passionate about pets as I am, in a cozy apartment in Osdorp Amsterdam. We have no kids and one cat.
My husband works from home as well so pets always have company even if one of us is out. Pets are never left alone for more than 3 hours. We keep our house completely pet proof and we don't give them any human food, only pet food and snacks for their own health and safety.
I introduce the pets gradually to each other using treats and toys to ease any tension. I also love to give the pets full reign of the house. Sometimes they're too scared at first so I give them their own room, leave the door ajar and check on them often until they feel safer to come out and explore in their own time. For their safety, if a pet starts showing aggressive behavior towards the others, it will be separated from the other pets but will continue to have the same love, care and attention from me.
I would like to know a couple of things about the pet before the stay such as:
- Age
- Gender
- Intact or sterilized
- Vaccination
- Medical conditions\medication (if applicable)
- Potty habits
- Meowing habits
- Behavior towards other pets and people
- Any previous experience with the same required service
What I provide:
- I feed them as required
- Make sure there's always fresh drinking water for them
- Make sure their environment is always clean
- I can administer medications if needed
- Play and cuddle with them
- I always keep the owners posted by sending them daily photos and videos of their pets
I ONLY require:
- Food
- Vet's info and pet passport
- For the health and safety of all pets, owners are required to give their pets antiflea, antitick and deworming medication before the stay.
Some services come at an additional cost such as:
- Physiotherapeutic exercise: €5.00 (per session)
- Vet visit: €25.00 (excluding vet costs)

Both of our cats seemed so happy and playful every single day—we actually started to worry they’d pack up their toys and move in with her! Hahaha. Marian is truly a wonderful cat sitter.
