About Nadia

I only work with cats and only in the Leuven/ Heverlee/ Kessel-lo area 

My name is Nadia, I am 39 years old, I'm a writer and content creator (i work from home) and I live in Leuven with my partner who works at KU Leuven University. 

I have been in love with cats since I was a litte girl and I had many experiences with my own cats and with friends and acquaintances who, over the years, have asked me to look after their cats during summer - at their home or by hosting them with me.

I have had several cats in my life: when I was in Italy, I had my first beloved cat Sirio for 22 years. He was my best friend and when he died I suffered a lot and I felt I've lost a piece of my entire life. Sirio was very old when he died so I took care of his arthritis and deafness.

After him, I wanted to be with cats agains so I welcomed several cats at my place, helping volunteers from my hometown during the process of pet adoptions.

Then, after two years, my parents adopted Hiro, a ginger cat, and Aiko, a gray feral Korat, and now I look after them every summer in Italy when my parents aren't home. You can see pictures of them in my gallery! 

My ginger cat is very friendly, but the grey one... not so much: I learnt to manage feral, old and traumatized cats, too, respecting their boundaries and need to be alone.

I like being with cats, they know how to be quiet and discreet and I like taking care of them, playing with them for hours, entertaining them and spending all day with them taking pictures and talking to them.  

I can come to your house to meet your cats, feed them and clean the litter box if you'd rather not move your pet from his environment. Or I can welcome your cat to my home, here in Leuven: it is a comfortable home, with lots of sofas and cushions and plenty of space to play and rest, no dangerous spots here. Your cat won't go outside and I will always be with him/her, providing you pictures and video in real time. Since I'm going to welcome one cat only at a time, I can accept non vaccinated cat or non sterilized cats: they won't meet another cat, since I don't have cats here in Leuven (sigh!).

F.A.Q.

 - I always meet the cat's owner first in order to get to know each other and I show him/her my house  

- I don't have other pets, the windows are all secure and the environment is designed to welcome cats, sofas and
cushions free to scratch, space for litter box, etc 

- As for the payment, the site takes nineteen percent of the sum and it pays the pet sitter after the
job is finished. So the booking must be done always in advance. It is possible to cancel the booking before it starts, in any case. 

- Litter box, litter and food are responsibility of the cat's owner 

- I always ask for your favourite vet number (in case of emergency)
