House-sitting in Antwerp

Needs and animals

2 Cats

We have 2 adorable cats: Marcel (April 2019, white, male) and Patatje (Little potato) (July 2020, black, female) who need caring and love during our travels. Caring basics are feeding, refill water bowls, litter box is used rarely. Loving: they love cuddles, kisses and sometimes like to play. They are crazy about snacks called Catisfactions. They need to go outside and there is a cat flap linked to their microchip. Marcel cannot go upstairs, nor stay indoors at night or while you are out, because he tends to pee. We build him a nice home outside. When you are at home, of course he can come indoors.
Furthermore, we would ask to empty the letter box. For longer stays we ask to water the plants once a week. We have a cleaning lady who comes every monday morning to clean the house. It is a service we would like to offer during your stay.

Sherbrooke, Canada - October 2026

I absolutely loved my stay with Marcel and Patatje! Jantien and Robin welcomed me very warmly, and the welcome guide they prepared with everything to know about the house and the surrounding area was very clear and helpful. Communication was also great both before and during the stay. I was lucky to stay in a beautiful, comfortable, and well-located home with very little traffic, as well as grocery stores and lovely walking spots nearby. Marcel is an incredibly sweet cat; it was so cute how he let out a little meow every time he came back inside, or how he jumped at every moving reflection of light! Patatje is very affectionate and always looking for cuddles; she was adorable whenever she stood up on her hind legs to rub against my hand or when she was kneading my lap while I was petting her. I highly recommend this sit. Thank you so much to Jantien and Robin for having me!

J'ai été parfaitement bien accueillie par Jantien et Robin, un couple d'une grande gentillesse avec lequel la communication a été très simple et facile avant, pendant et après le séjour. Jantien est venue me chercher a la gare afin de me montrer toutes les petites choses importantes a savoir, que ce soit dans les transports en communs, les commerces etc.Enduite d'autres indications m'attendaient sur les bons restaurants du quartier. Leur maison, sur la rive gauche de l'Escaut, est un bijou, très lumineuse, chaleureuse et agréable. J'ai adoré prendre le bac (gratuit)pour traverser l'Escaut et me rendre dans le centre d'Anvers (5mn de traversée). Depuis la rive gauche l1 vue sur la Skyline d'Anvers est superbe. La ville regorge de musée et choses a découvrir. Enfin, et surtout, il y a Marcel et Papatje, deux adorables chats (un mâle , une femelle, un noir, un blanc) pour lesquels, on fond d'amour. D'une infinie douceur, cherchant les caresses, c'est également un régal de les voir jouer ensemble. Une expérience Nomador que je recommande donc absolument et sans aucune hésitation ! Et merci encore a Jantien et Robin pour m'avoir fait confiance!
