About Maison du Chat

Maison du Chat is a premium in-home cat-sitting service that provides personalised, professionally managed care for cat owners in Frankfurt am Main.

We help your cat keep their familiar surroundings, routines and comforts while you are away. Our employed sitters combine attentive care with clear communication, supported by a team that takes responsibility for the details.

What Maison du Chat does

Cat sitting in your own home

We visit your cat at home to provide food, fresh water, litter care and companionship, following their individual routine. Whether your cat enjoys lively play, quiet company or a little distance, we take our lead from them.

Visits that fit your cat’s routine

Standard visits last 30 minutes. Additional time is available for cats and households that need more attention. Morning, afternoon and evening visit windows allow us to arrange care around feeding habits, companionship needs and your time away.

Special Care and Medical Visits

We individually review requests for medication support, Special Care and Medical Visits before accepting them. Any agreed support follows your veterinarian’s existing instructions and is assigned according to the skills required; we do not diagnose, prescribe or change medication doses.

Thoughtful care for your home

Alongside your cat’s care, we can agree simple tasks such as collecting mail or watering specified indoor plants. Access arrangements and departure checks are documented so your sitter knows how to enter, care for and leave your home securely.

What makes Maison du Chat different

An employed team with direct accountability

Our sitters are recruited, employed, trained and directly managed by Maison du Chat. Platforms such as Pawshake and Cat in a Flat let owners browse and book individual sitters; we take responsibility for selecting your sitter, coordinating visits and maintaining our service standards.

Cat-specific training informed by veterinary expertise

Our training covers feline behaviour, signs of stress, everyday care and recognising changes that need attention. Veronica Aksmanovich’s veterinary background helps shape these standards and the guidance our sitters receive.

Clear visit lengths and pricing

A standard 30-minute visit starts at €30.00, with a second visit on the same day starting at €30.00 and additional time available at €5.00 per 10 minutes. Your quote sets out the agreed care and applicable supplements before you commit.

A written care plan for your household

We record your cat’s feeding routine, preferences, hiding places and handling needs, alongside practical instructions for your home. This gives the team a shared reference and supports continuity when more than one sitter is involved.

An update after every visit

You receive a photo and a short report after each visit, covering the care provided and relevant observations. Our operations team reviews visit reports and follows up on concerns, giving you a clear point of contact throughout your booking.
