Pet Sitters in Alcabideche

Lorey & Alyce Natali

I had an excellent experience with Lorey as my pet-and housesitter. From the start, Lorey was incredibly communicative and friendly, which put me at ease knowing my pets and home were in capable hands. Throughout the long sit, she was consistently approachable, making it easy to stay in touch and feel confident that everything was fine at home. I couldn't be more satisfied. One of the most remarkable aspects was Lorey's connection with my cats. It was clear from the beginning that she has a genuine love for animals, and my cats took to her. They were calm and content when I returned, which speaks volumes about the care and attention they received. Thank you Lorey! Krauli and Lili love you. Overall, Lorey was not only trustworthy but also went above and beyond to make sure my home and pets were well cared for. I can only recommend Lorey to anyone in need of a thoughtful and responsible housesitter.

Claudia

Claudia took care of our two large retrieves and cat and looked after our place during the weekend. We highly recommend Claudia to any pet owner. Claudia was great with the pets and made every effort to bond with them. She took the dogs to the beach and they fell in love with her. They looked very relaxed and content when we returned home. Claudia has a great energy, is flexible, and she communicated with us very smoothly, with regular updates. She left the house spotless. We highly recommend her to sit your house.

Isabela

We have been very happy and relaxed on our trip with Isabella at home. She has always been very nice to talk to, and very collaborative. She took perfect care of our animals and plants, and also left the house clean and tidy as if we had left the day before. We want to thank her for these days and would love to repeat the experience with her.

Amintas

Amintas and Rebeka were the perfect house sitters from the start. Communication was excellent. They kept me updated and informed up to the day of arrival and during the sit. The care and attention they provided to the dogs was gold standard. They handled challenges with the with the dogs with like true professionals. The house was spotless and Rebeka even made an amazing (restaurant standard) lunch for us all when I arrived home. This couple are platinum standard house sitters and you would be hard pushed to find better.

Vanessa

Vanessa was a wonderful house and pup-sitter! She was sensitive and responsive to my dog's somewhat anxious tendencies. I was really happy with her regular updates, and she managed everything perfectly and left my home clean and my plants and dog happy.

danilo

It is not the first time Danilo looked after Gucci and we had another great experience with him. The house was looking good and Gucci was happy. It was a pleasure to have him back. We hope to host him again in the future.

Thea

Thea & Lina were lovey sitters for Ted. They we’re flexible when we wanted to change the start date . They communicated well in advance of the sit and during, keeping us updated with Ted”s welfare. The house was left very clean and tidy.

Bianca

Bianca was a top sitter! Arya was so happy with her :) even when we arrived, I believed Arya was still looking for her. The house was perfectly clean and tidy. Whenever you need a house Bianca in Setúbal your more then welcome ! Thank you

Ayana

Ayana was a great sitter for our 2 boys, especially Sammy who has asthma, and due to it, needs more care with specific meds and their schedule. From the first call we had, we saw that not only she understood the assignment and the responsibility of the sit, but also showed great enthusiasm in sharing her own experience and expertise to reduce any concerns we could have, being our first sit. She followed the requested meds-and-feeding schedule with readiness and a full understanding of the tasks. Whenever we texted to check-in, she was always prompt in providing feedback and photos/videos, which was a big help for us, being so far away during this period. When we arrived, Sammy and Toto were both super calm and relaxed, like no time has passed. We would heartily recommend her and have her again for future sits, really a great experience. :)

holly

We sadly didn’t get to meet Holly and Phillip face to face however, they looked after Ralphie, the bunnies and the house beautifully. Ralphie had lots of lovely walks and cuddles. The rabbits were fed and cleaned out as instructed. The house was immaculate on our return. Holly reported any issues with the house immediately which was really helpful while we were away. Really excellent and trustworthy sitters.

Charly & Joana

Charley and Joana were amazing in all areas of the sit. They were super good and caring with the dogs and gave the food and medication precisely as required. They were super organised and left everything cleaner than I left it! Absolutely recommend them for pet and house sitting, Luke was in love with both and searched for them when they left, cannot get a better and more honest review than that of a doggie!! A big thank you for your care of Lea and Luke!

kateryna

Kateryna stayed with my Noa for three weeks and was an amazing sitter ! She updated me daily with photos and videos and even adjusted the flying schedule to when I would be returning so that Noa wouldn’t be alone for a long time ! The apartment was very tidy up and clean and she was super sweet

Adrian

Adrian and his family are super friendly and very welcoming. I stayed with my parents and we had an incredible time, there’s lots of great areas to go on walks and the house it’s very comfortable. He and his family are very organised and left us an itinerary to help with the chores which was very useful! They’re also really flexible and easy going. 
Rolo is by far the best dog I’ve ever taken care of. He’s a sweetheart, he’s very obedient and loyal. He’s a big teddy bear, You’re guaranteed to fall in love! 
Tiger is his own boss, he loves a cuddle every so often but he’s usually roaming around - he’ll definitely come back for food tho! 
The rabbits are super cute and easy to take care of. They love to be free in the little garden they have, they’ll let you pet them and sometimes pick them up too - they’re so soft !
It was a great stay, it’s perfect for a little get away far from the city. Ideal if you have a car since everything is quite far in terms of groceries and shops, but we managed just fine without one. 
Thank you Adrian & Co!!

Thomas

What a wonderful stay! Thomas and Todd were the most gracious and welcoming hosts, and Karma was a delight - very happy dog, didn’t need much of anything, easy to look after and gave good snuggles. Their house is modern, clean, comfortable and has everything you need. An excellent pool area is close by. Highly recommended! Thank you Thomas and Todd for trusting me to take care of sweet Karma!

Bob & Deb

Bob and Deb were a real treat to get to know and I loved meeting them! Gibbs and Zach are quite the opposite when it came to activity and required care. Gibbs is a bit grumpy when he first meets you but he warms up quickly. Zach is rambunctious and loves to cuddle. Although, he gave me quite the scare when I had to rush him to the vet emergency clinic. But Bob and Deb had their vet and clinic information prepared and responded quickly. 

Although I enjoyed the pouches, I deducted stars due to the 4 hours spent in the clinic and missing a few hours of work and sleep to care for Zach. 😬 Other than that, I fell in love with grumpy Gibbs and cuddly Zach.

Chris & Caroline

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay looking after Pedro and Cara. 
Situated in a delightful place in the country where we where able to take Pedro and Cara for walks. We have missed them since we have been gone. The house was easy care. We would have loved to get to know Chris and Caroline had they not gone away. WE would definitely sit again for Pedro and Cara.

Phyllis

I knew this one would hurt, but for good reasons! I miss them so very, very much. Two very different cats, both equally lovable. I was there during a transition period for them, and experienced the worries that came along with that, but we all bonded mightily! I was dreading leaving them from day one. That's how special they are.

As for their human, Phyllis could not have been more helpful or kind. She did everything possible to make this sit the success it was.  Her home is comfortable, bright, cheery, and welcoming, and filled with books and artwork (the latter includes some created by Phyllis herself!). It's located in a quiet, very walkable neighborhood, with easy access to buses and the T.

I absolutely loved this sit, and would do it again in a heartbeat!

April

Dexter is such a snuggly dog and I truly had a great few days with him!! He is an easygoing, fluffy, cute companion who will show you all around his favorite spots :) We spent most of our time on The Strand, a beautiful beach walk a few seconds away from April and Dexters apartment. April was well organized, friendly, and had all of the information I could want printed out for me about Dex and the neighborhood when I arrived. I would dog-sit for them any time again and recommend it to anyone!!
