Cat sitter in Tervuren by a cat behaviourist

What is a cat sitter at home?

A cat sitter at home in Tervuren means your cat stays in her familiar environment while I visit daily to provide food, clean the litter box, and offer play or comfort — depending on your cat’s needs.

As a certified cat behaviourist, I understand how important it is to respect your cat’s personality and pace. Every cat is different. Some seek cuddles right away, others need more time. I sense what your cat needs and adapt my care accordingly.

Why choose an at-home cat sitter?

Cats are creatures of habit and controlefreaks. Moving them to a new environment can be stressful as they experience new smells, strange animals, unfamiliar sounds…

Here’s what you can expect:

  • Personalised attention tailored to your cat’s character and energy level
  • Daily updates with photos or videos
  • Your cat sets the pace – I sense what they need and adapt accordingly
  • As a feline behaviourist, I quickly reassure your cat and work preventively to reduce stress
  • I also care for other animals (like fish, chickens, rabbits, …) with just as much love
  • Your home looks lived-in – an added layer of security
  • Small extras are included: watering plants, collecting mail, operating shutters, taking out the trash
  • Need medication administered? That’s also included in the price

Catteries can be stressful for some cats: new smells, strange noises, and unfamiliar animals.

Why not a cattery?

Cat hotels aren’t right for every cat. Sensitive or senior cats often become overstimulated. Staying at home is often the most comfortable option.

With an at-home cat sitter, you avoid:

  • Transportation stress
  • Forcing your cat to adjust to a new environment
  • Disrupting her daily routines
  • Risk of stress or illness
  • Extra charges per cat

About me

I’m Kelly, a feline behaviour therapist and in-home cat sitter based in Tervuren.

My love for cats began with Ziva, my own cat. She taught me how sensitive and complex cats are. Since then, I’ve continued to deepen my knowledge of feline behaviour and how we as humans can make a difference.

My approach blends scientific insight with intuition and genuine care. Therefore, I don’t offer a standard visit. I offer personalised attention so every cat gets what she needs.

My cat sitting covers Tervuren, Duisburg, Moorsel and Vossem.

In their own words

Sharon

Mom of Onyx

“It was perfect for us. We felt lots of kindness and heart coming from you and your approach as well as a deep understanding of cat behaviour. We were surprised that you managed to connect so quickly with Onyx. So, we felt instantly at ease and in trust.

Tudor

Dad of Cookie and Rebecca

“Great care and attention to all the details! We could not be happier with the services and we always leave home assured that our two cats will stay happy, comfortable and healthy. If you need help with your cats, this is the right place to be! Kelly is very professional and she genuinely cares about our little cat friends. Our expectations were superseded by her services and her advice about little improvements for our senior cat’s comfort really worked and improved her quality of life. And on top of everything, she is a really nice person :)”
