When you can’t be there, you can trust me to make them purr…

Happy cats, happy humans

What is AmsterdamPurringCats?

It’s more than just a cat sitting service, AmsterdamPurringCats offers a truly personalised experience for your feline friends, all in the comfort of your own home.

No stressful changes, no unfamiliar surroundings, feeling comfortable in their usual domain, with dedicated care and companionship.

I stay with them as much as possible during the day and spend every night by their side, making sure they feel safe, loved and relaxed while you’re away.

In this way, your cats receive a similar attention, affection and warmth that they would receive from you.

Who I am:

Hi, I’m Carmen!

I’m a Spanish creative writer and theatre director living in Amsterdam since 2018. But besides my love for theatre, there’s another passion that really defines me: cats!

I’ve always been fascinated by their intelligence, independence and unique personalities.

They’re mysterious, full of surprises and, let’s face it, absolutely adorable.

Since I can’t have a cat of my own at the moment, I’ve chosen the next best thing: caring for those who need a loving cat-sitter while their human parents are away.

Being a cat-sitter allows me to connect with wonderful people and, most importantly, spend time with their amazing feline companions.

If I could be any animal, I’d definitely be a cat!

Opinions

We’re so delighted that we were introduced to Carmen, she provided outstanding care and love for our cat who’s 19 years old, deaf, and sometimes demanding!Carmen took great care of our house and our cat and we couldn’t be happier. She’s knowledgeable, reliable and trustworthy. I would thoroughly recommend Carmen to take care of your cat/s, she’s truly the best.

After a long time searching we finally found Carmen and so we also found peace and tranquillity to be able to go on holidays.
Carmen is wonderful with the cats. She really loves and understands them. She knows how to build a relationship even with a difficult cat as our Bengel.We were very surprised and happy when we got a film where you could see that they where having a good time together and that was during her first stay at our house. That was great!
Thank you Carmen and see you on our next holidays.

It was such a peace of mind to have Carmen looking after my furry babies. I hated the idea of leaving them alone while going on holidays. They are very social and they need their daily dose of cuddles. Carmen goes beyond her duty and showers them with love and fun playing time. Coming back home, my house was spotless and the cats were purring on her lap!I would highly recommend Carmen, she is extremely trustworthy and I now would not leave my babies to anyone else.

Carmen has always been wonderful with my two cuddly cats. She sends me photos often, very attentive and not only takes care of them in the basics, but she also plays with them. Very happy the three of us, the two kittens and me. Honest and trustworthy person. 100% recommendable.

When I go on vacation, Carmen comes to take care of Pablo at home. This way he stays in his familiar environment with his regular cat sitter at home. Carmen is very sweet and caring for Pablo and is a very honest and responsible person who you can leave in your home with peace of mind. If anyone is ever looking for a cat sitter at home, I highly recommend Carmen ♡

I’m really grateful to have you as my catsitter, but also as such a wonderful and dedicated person. Your passion and kindness truly show in everything you do, and I’m sure many more cat parents will appreciate your work just as much as I do.
Denna & Dexter also send their thanks!🐱
