Top cities for house sitting in Belgium

Are you going away but have a pet that prefers to stay in their own environment? Or perhaps you have a range of different animals and it’s not practical for you to organise for them to stay in different places? Then you might want to consider finding a Pawshake house sitter to come and stay at your Lanaken home while you are away.

House sitting is a convenient and affordable option when you have multiple pets and also want your house to be securely looked after while you are away. Many of our pet sitters have very reasonable house sitting rates because they enjoy staying and exploring different local neighbourhoods like Lanaken.

At Pawshake, we understand that trusting your home to a stranger can be a little daunting. So we’ve done all the hard work to ensure that your Pawshake house sitter is trustworthy and reliable. All our pet sitter profiles are checked individually by our dedicated trust and safety team and some house sitters also have their own police checks which they can share with you.

The best thing about engaging a Pawshake verified house sitter is that you can relax knowing that on top of being covered by The Pawshake Guarantee which includes veterinary coverage, so your pets are being cared for in a familiar environment and your Lanaken home is also being looked after as well. 

In addition to looking after your pets, most of our house sitters will happily help you by collecting your mail, taking out the bins, and watering your plants. Just make sure you discuss all your requirements with your chosen house sitter prior to booking.

Hello Pawshake community!
My name is Laura, and I’m a Psychology student at Maastricht University. Growing up, I was always surrounded by cats and dogs and developed an enormous&nbsp;LOVE for them!
Since moving to the Netherlands for my studies, I’ve had to leave my beloved pets with my family back home and I truly miss their company. That’s why it would be an absolute pleasure to take care of your pets and share some of the love and care I have to give.
I completely understand how nerve wracking it can be to leave your pet with someone new. That’s why I’ll keep you updated frequently with pictures and little notes about our time together, to help put your mind at ease.
I’m happy to follow any specific routines, preferences, or care instructions you have. My top priority is making sure both you&nbsp;and&nbsp;your pet feel comfortable and cared for.
Back in Greece, I also volunteered at an animal shelter, where I provided care, affection, and support to animals in need. Through that experience, I gained valuable knowledge in basic medical care, behavioral training, and recognizing signs of overall animal health. In addition to volunteering, I also regularly looked after my neighbors' pets when they were away.
En ja, ik spreek Nederlands! Ik ben opgegroeid in Griekenland, maar ik ben half Nederlands! Je kunt me dus ook altijd in het Nederlands bereiken. 
Warm regards,Laura

Growing up surrounded by animals, from dogs and cats to chickens, goats, rabbits, and guinea pigs, caring for pets has always been second nature to me. Whether it's a playful pup, a curious cat, or even a tiny hamster like the one I currently have in Maastricht, I genuinely enjoy spending time with all kinds of animals and learning what makes each one feel safe and happy.

Back home, I have one beloved dog and cat, Coco and Poutchi, who live with my family. I miss them every day, which is probably why I treat every animal I meet with the same love and attention I’d give them. I’m comfortable with a wide range of animals, big and small, shy or energetic, and I’m more than happy to adapt to their specific needs.

Walks can be short and chill or longer and full of adventure, depending on what your pet enjoys! I love making them fun with little games, sniff stops, or light playtime if they’re up for it. If your pet needs medication or extra care, I’m also happy to help with that, just let me know.

Whether you're looking for someone to take your dog for a walk, check in on your cat, or simply give your pet some attention while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel loved, relaxed, and well looked after. The bond goes both ways, after all.

Hi! My name is Clara and I a recent graduate from Maastricht University. I am a barista at a specialty coffee place and I recently started volunteering at an animal shelter. I love crafts, specially knitting and crocheting.
Ever since I was little, I’ve always wanted to have a dog. My parents then decided to get a cat and I then fell in love with cats as well. Now I have both a cat and a dog of my own and I’ve never been happier. My dog, Charlie, is 14 years old now so I have some experience with senior dogs. My cat, Pucci, on the other hand, is barely a year old, so I’m also used to very active animals with more demanding needs.
I just started pet sitting for other people a few months ago and it has been so fulfilling. Since I don't have the possibility yet of adopting more pets of my own, it's really the perfect opportunity to get to take care of more pets. And plus, I just love the company they offer.
I moved into a new house with a great garden a couple of months ago, which is the perfect place for your dog to get some fresh air and have fun. I also have a wonderful couch where we could cuddle or play together. And of course we will be going on lots of walks! There are a couple of dog friendly parks around my neighborhood, which is perfect!
I hope I can help you out with your pets, it would be my pleasure!

Hello dear pet parents! 
My name is Colby, I'm from California, and I'm currently doing my Master's in Sustainability at Maastricht University.
I grew up with dogs and cats in the house, and spent a lot of time at my grandfather's farm. When I was older, I volunteered at an animal sanctuary for almost six years, taking care of, training, and rehabilitating wild animals. I've worked with dogs and cats of course, but also ferrets, bunnies, and a variety of (exotic) birds in addition to wild animals. Overall, I have a very strong love and passion for taking proper care of animals (though hopefully your cats aren't as messy as Bengal tigers! )
For dogs: I would like to stick to the routine you already use: your leash and harness, your usual route (unless otherwise requested), and no off-leash time unless you've told me it's okay. I find that dogs are much more comfortable this way, even if someone new is walking them. I always bring water and poop bags, check for hot pavement depending on the season, and let older or lower-energy dogs set the pace.
For cats: I follow your feeding schedule and portions, refresh water, and can scoop the litter box every visit if needed. I also let you know if something is off, like whether they're actually eating, whether the litter box looks normal.
I'm comfortable giving medication on schedule and following special diets as you've set them up, though I don't do injections.  Before the first visit  ask where everything lives: food, meds, carrier, leash.
Clear communication matters a lot to me. You'll get photos and a short message after every visit, and I'm happy to do a quick video call if you'd like to see them yourself. 
Here in Maastricht I unfortunately don't have any animals of my own to take care of, but I would be happy to take care of yours! Every animal has their own way of communicating and their own individual needs, so before meeting your pet I'd love a quick chat about how you'd like me to speak to, move around, and interact with him or her (plus any quirks, fears, or habits I should know about). I can feed, walk, play with, or simply keep your pet company!&nbsp;


I'm Leonie, 24 years old and from Germany. 
I do understand Dutch but am limited in my speaking skills. 
I'm studying psychology and as it's a full time studies, I'm studying a lot and am in class a lot. For that reason I want to get a balance in my life which I want to combine with dogs and going on a walk. I have always been in love with the nature and gods and wouldn't mind going with dogs for a long walk. I am an animal lover, in particular dogs. They show and feel emotions which is a comforting zone for me, personally. 
I haven't had a dog myself but I walked and spent time with dogs of my friends and family (as seen in the attached photos) therefore I know what to look out for and how to take care of them. Furthermore, I've cat and dog sat already here on Pawshake for more than a year now. 
Preferably, I cant take your dog at my place because my landlord has his strict rules about that place. Generally, I don't mind whether the dog is vaccinated or not. 

Hey!
Mijn naam is Amber, 19 jaar en een echte dierenvriend! Van jongs af aan ben ik graag bezig met dieren en vind ik het belangrijk dat ze hun veilig, rustig en op hun gemak voelen als hun baasje er even niet is.
Ik heb ervaring met verantwoordelijk werken en zorg dragen voor andere, zowel mensen als dieren. Daardoor weet ik hoe belangrijk geduld, aandacht en betrouwbaarheid is. Ik neem graag de tijd om elk dier goed te leren kennen en pas mij aan aan hun karakter en gewoontes.
Wandelen, spelen, eten geven, gezelschap houden en zorgen voor een propere omgeving doe ik met veel plezier! Ik ben rustig van aard , zorgzaam en ga altijd respectvol om met dieren!
Ik ben flexibel beschikbaar, ook in de week en weekends, en sta open voor verschillende soorten huisdieren.
Ik kijk ernaar uit om jou dier met liefde te verzorgen!
Hopelijk tot snel! 

Groetjes Amber 

Hello! My name is Marissa and I love being a petsitter. With more than five years of experience caring for animals of all personalities, ages, medical needs, and backgrounds, my passion for pet sitting grew naturally from a lifelong love of animals and a desire to create a safe, calm, and joyful environment for them when their owners are away. Over the years, I’ve worked with everything from high-energy puppies to elderly pets who need gentle routines, as well as anxious or rescue animals who require extra patience and understanding.
What motivates me most is the trust that forms between a pet, their owner, and a petsitter. I often petsit for the same families every month, and I love the collaboration and trust that grows over time. I believe every animal deserves the best life possible, so I take time to learn each pet’s habits, fears, and favorite comforts. Whether your dog thrives on long walks or your cat prefers a stay-at-home friend, I enjoy adapting my time with your pet to what suits them best. I enjoy walking, so I would love to take your pet on lovely walks around the city, long or short, if that's what they enjoy too. I would prefer petsitting animals who are fully-vacinated.&nbsp;
Communication is extremely important to me, so I always keep owners updated with thoughtful check-ins where needed, and also offer house-sitting services and include any updates to your home if relevant when you are away. My goal is to give your pet a safe and loving environment, leaving you assured and at ease to enjoy your time away from your pet.&nbsp;
I would love to connect and see how I can help you with your pet!&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;


Hi! My name is Mary, and I’m a PhD candidate currently living in Maastricht, the Netherlands.

I truly love cats. I have a cat named Leo who is currently in my home country, and unfortunately I wasn’t able to bring him with me. Caring for him taught me how much trust it takes to leave your cat in someone else’s hands — and I deeply respect that trust.

When I spend time with a cat, my goal is simple: to treat them with the same patience, gentleness, and respect that I would give my own. Every cat has their own personality and comfort zone. Some want quiet company. Some want play and interaction. Some prefer space and soft voices. I take the time to understand what makes your cat feel safe and happy, and I adapt to their individual needs.

Being around cats gives me a deep sense of calm, and I genuinely enjoy their unique personalities — from the playful and curious ones to the quiet observers who just want a cozy spot nearby. For me, cat sitting is not about money; it’s about giving attention, care, and positive energy while their human is away.

I am responsible, attentive, and gentle. Even though I find cats incredibly cute, I always remain calm and respectful of their boundaries. Your cat’s comfort and well-being will always be my priority.

I would be happy to care for your cat with the same warmth and thoughtfulness I gave my own

Hi, my name is Holly, I am 20 years old and currently studying psychology here in Maastricht I absolutely love animals, especially dogs. I used to own a small Bolonka Zwetna, his name was Schrubbi. I miss having a pet around and playing with them, taking them on nice walks, especially around maastricht, it's so beautiful here. I have already been a pet-sitter back home in germany, I took care of a Cavapoo (Cavalier King Charles Spaniel x Poodle) and we got along amazingly. I can take special instructions and wishes into consideration when taking care of your little one. My dog was a puppy when we got him, so I am comfortable with taking care of little pups as well as older dogs and I don't have any allergies so no limitations! I would prefer taking care of vaccinated dogs but we can discuss that on a case to case basis. I would appreciate a heads up about whether or not they are trained to walk on leashes, because that impacts where we should best make our rounds. Otherwise, I'm just happy to help and take care of your pets and let them have a good time:)

Hi!&nbsp;I’m from Turkey and currently living in the Netherlands for my studies. Back home in my family house, I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats, and I loved every moment with them — from playtime and cuddles to making sure they were fed, safe, and happy. Since moving here, I’ve really missed having them around, which is why I’d love to spend time caring for other pets.I might not have “professional” pet-sitting experience, but I truly believe what matters most is patience, kindness, and genuine love for animals. I know how important it is to feel your pet is safe and cared for while you’re away. I'm looking forward to meeting some furry friends, whether it’s going for a walk, giving belly rubs, or simply keeping them company at mine place or iether your place.For safety, I only accept vaccinated pets.

I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. When I was little, I was so obsessed that I used to hand my toy dogs to my dad so he could walk ahead of me, just so I could pretend I was walking them myself. I’ve grown up surrounded by family friends’ dogs and have spent most of my formative years learning everything about them. I think I have grown to understand how to read their behaviour, body language and personalities.
My own dog was brought into our home as a result of my persuasion and pestering over 11 years of my life and so once we got him, I have been very actively involved in his life. He is a very lively cocker spaniel-poodle mix so I’m used to energetic dogs who need both mental and physical stimulation. I’m also experienced with older, slower and more sensitive dogs who need patience, calmness and extra care having looked after our friends' old labrador for the last five years of his life. On walks, I make sure dogs get the right balance of exercise, sniffing time and engagement, adjusting the pace depending on age, fitness and confidence levels. Nervous dogs are always given space, reassurance and calm guidance, while more energetic ones benefit from structure, recall practice and playful interaction. Over the years I’ve also cared for older and more sensitive dogs, ensuring gentler walks and plenty of comfort. I’ve regularly looked after dogs for friends and family, including golden retrievers, labradors and whippets, so I’m confident in adapting to different breeds and needs. I love seeing how different dogs have such different personalities and getting to understand them better. Additionally, I am an active person myself, loving the outdoors and I miss my own dog greatly when at university; dog sitting is the perfect opportunity to give the care and attention I am used to giving to my own dog to yours!
When house sitting, safety and routine come first. I make sure to maintain feeding schedules, keep environments secure, and make sure dogs are never left unsupervised in unfamiliar situations. I prioritise calm handling, secure lead walking, name-tag checks and awareness of surroundings when outdoors.
My motivation for pet sitting is simple: I genuinely love spending time with dogs, and I want owners to feel completely at ease knowing their pets are happy, safe and loved. I treat every dog as if they were my own, and I’m committed to making their time with me positive and stress-free. Dogs are incredible at reading human emotions and body language which is why they are such great companions and I am passionate about giving them the best company in return. Moreover, I understand that dogs often function on routine and therefore I am happy to follow any routines you already have in place.
I offer both dog walking and house sitting, and I’m always happy to dedicate the time, energy and attention needed to make sure your dog is comfortable and cared for. 


UPDATE: inmiddels werk ik fulltime en is het alleen mogelijk om in het weekend op te passen.

Hallo! Mijn naam is Céline Houben, 23 jaar. Ik ben onlangs afgestudeerd als dierenarts aan de Universiteit van Gent (BE), waar ik de studie diergeneeskunde heb gevolgd. Al van jongs af aan heb ik een enorme passie voor dieren. Mijn eerste hond was een kruising tussen een Berner Sennen en een Golden Retriever, en momenteel hebben wij thuis een Golden Retriever.
Dankzij mijn achtergrond als dierenarts beschik ik over uitgebreide kennis van de verzorging en gezondheid van honden, katten en andere diersoorten. Naast de gebruikelijke zorgtaken ben ik extra alert op signalen die kunnen wijzen op gezondheidsproblemen. Zo kan ik niet alleen zorgen voor uw dier, maar ook een extra steentje bijdragen aan het welzijn ervan.
Helaas kan ik geen dieren mee naar mijn huis nemen, maar ik kan zeker wel bij u op uw dieren passen. Daarnaast sta ik ook open voor de uitlaatservice. Maar u mag mij altijd contacteren indien u een verzoek heeft.
Graag tot snel!
