Drop-in Visits for Cats & Other Animals
We come to you. Your cat, rabbit, bird, or other pet stays in the comfort of their own home while you’re away, no transport stress, no strange environment, no disrupted routine. Happy Puppies provides in-home cat sitting and pet care across The Hague.
Personalised home visits in The Hague
A drop-in visit means exactly what it says: I come to your home at an agreed time and give your pet the care and attention they need. No transport, no disruption to their routine, no unfamiliar smells.
Every visit includes feeding, fresh water, cleaning if needed, and quality time, whether that’s play, a cuddle, or simply sitting together. I’ll send you a photo update after every single visit so you always know everything is fine.
- Feeding and fresh water refill
- Litter box or cage cleaning
- Playtime, affection, and company
- Health check: behaviour, appetite, anything unusual noted
- Photo update sent to you after every visit
- Medication administration if needed
- Home security check: lights, post, plants watered on request

How it works
Getting started is simple. I like to meet your pet before the first visit so everyone is comfortable from day one.
Get in touch
Send us a message via the contact form or email. Tell me about your pet: species, name, routine, and what you need during your time away.
Free meet & greet
I come to your home for a free introductory visit, to meet your pet, see the space, learn the routine, and answer any questions you have.
Confirm your booking
Once we’re all happy, we confirm the visit schedule. We’ll agree on times, feeding routines, any medication, and anything else your pet needs.
I come to you
On the day, I visit your home at the agreed time. You’ll get a photo update from every visit so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.
Common questions
Can’t find your answer? Just send us a message. We’re happy to help.
What animals do you care for?
Cats are the most common request, but I also care for rabbits, birds (including parrots), fish, guinea pigs, and other small animals. If you’re unsure whether I can help with your pet, just get in touch and we’ll work it out.
Do you come to my home?
Yes. That’s exactly the point. You don’t need to drop anything off or pick anything up. I come to your address at the agreed time and take care of everything. Your pet stays in their familiar environment, which is far less stressful than being transported somewhere new.
How long is each visit?
Each visit is 30 minutes, enough time for feeding, cleaning, a health check, and plenty of quality time. If you’d like a longer visit, just ask and we can arrange it.
Can I book daily visits while I’m on holiday?
Absolutely. That’s the most common reason people book drop-in visits. I can visit once or twice a day while you’re away, keeping your pet fed, clean, and happy at home. It’s a much calmer alternative to a cattery or boarding facility.
Do you give medication?
Yes, no problem at all. Just leave medication clearly labelled with instructions and I’ll follow them as part of the visit. There’s no extra charge for this.
What if my pet needs the vet?
If I notice anything worrying during a visit, I’ll contact you straight away. In a genuine emergency, I’ll take action immediately, the same way I do with any animal in my care. Your pet’s health always comes first.
How much does it cost for multiple animals?
Visits are priced from €24,99 per animal per visit. If you have two or more animals in the same home, a discount applies, get in touch and we’ll agree on a rate that makes sense for your situation.
Is there a meet & greet before the first visit?
Yes, always. Before I visit for the first time, I’ll come over to meet your pet, see the home, and go through the routine together. This is completely free and makes a real difference, for both the pet and the owner.
Do you cover my area?
Drop-in visits are available across The Hague. Addresses within approximately 20 minutes by bicycle from HMC Westeinde hospital (Lijnbaan 32, Den Haag) are covered at standard rates. Further away may involve additional travel costs. Just mention it in your request and we’ll work something out.
Ready to book?
Send us a message and we’ll get back to you within 24 hours. The meet & greet is always free.
