What does a typical cat sitting visit involve?
A standard drop-in runs 20 to 30 minutes: feeding, fresh water, litter scooping, playtime, and a photo update to the owner in chat. Many Bochum owners book one or two visits a day while they travel.
Which weeks book out first for cat sitting in Bochum?
The weeks owners travel: the Sommerferien and the run from Weihnachten to Neujahr, then the shorter Osterferien and Herbstferien. Because the summer holidays are staggered by Bundesland, the busy stretch in Bochum starts and ends on its own state's calendar rather than a national one, so check yours and open those dates early. On a winter visit, confirm the heating is still on and the home has not gone cold before you leave.
