. We were absolutely delighted with the care Summer provided for our cats. Without a doubt, she is the best cat sitter we have ever had the pleasure of working with. Her attentiveness and genuine affection for our cats were evident in every interaction. Throughout our holidays, she kept us constantly updated with daily pictures and detailed updates, which gave us immense peace of mind. Additionally, she maintained our house in immaculate condition, keeping everything clean and tidy. This level of consideration and dedication went above and beyond our expectations, and we deeply appreciated her efforts. Summer’s exceptional service made our holiday experience truly worry-free and enjoyable.
Becca was fantastic - we cannot say enough about how great she is as a pet and house sitter and as a human being! Becca committed to the sit 8 months in advance and was great with her responsiveness in communication during the long lead up to the sit. She arrived early and got the low downs on the animals and house stuff prior to us leaving. She woke up crazy early to help us get to the airport and picked us up when we returned, which made the traveling so much easier on our end. She left the house spot-less (and this is no exaggeration), with the linens cleaned, and a wonderful meal waiting for us upon our return. She is an absolute gem of a person with a great sense of humor and a kind and compassionate nature, and she really enjoys the animals in her care. Our dog and cat were very well cared for and totally at ease upon our return. If you are lucky enough to have Becca sit for you, you will be very pleased at how well she does the job!
Kathryn was amazing. She helped me figure plans out after another sitter dropped out at the last minute and saved the day! My cat and fish were well taken care of, and she was super communicative when my tank had a problem child moment. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, helpful, and caring sitter!!
Catherine was wonderful! She took care of my cat and house while I was out of town and left and Jack the Cat very and calm and the house in perfect shape which I so appreciate. I could return home and attend to other things rather than cleaning house. I would recommend her as a sitter to anyone. She was easy to communicate with, provided updates and pics of Jack, willing to jump in and assist me as I left or returned. She has a sweet and warm personality and enjoys what she does with house sitting. Thank you Catherine!
Anna was a wonderful sitter for our furry friends. My dog, Luke, bonded with her and was sad when she left. My cats would crawl under the covers and curl up with her at night. She is a true animal magnet and lover. I highly recommend Anna to anyone who wants their pets to recieve first class love while away.
Florence is everything you want in a cat sitter! We have two cats that need a lot of human attention. One takes multiple medications twice a day and they both are used to eating on their own schedule and having people around so it is always very important to us to find a pet sitter that will be spending a lot of time in the apartment and that doesn't mind being very attentive. We were able to meet Florence before our trip and felt 100% confident that she would take great care of our cats. Florence is comfortable giving medication, she sent us photos and updates and left our apartment spotless. We were so happy that we had her come back the following week when we went away again for a short trip! We will definitely contact Florence again whenever we travel and hope that she is available!
Elyse was one of the best pet sitters we've ever met! Couldn't recommend her more. We hope she stays at our place again. She sent many pictures of our beloved cats throughout our absence. We returned to our cats seeming relaxed and happy as ever. She also left our apartment sparkling clean. 10/10 :)
Greetings Pet People, I am a bit late leaving my review for Kristine who is local to us and has taken care of our kitties Max and Luis a few times this year. After COVID-19 was announced in March, our travel plans came to an abrupt halt. We had to cancel a lot of trips we had planned but decided that it was safe to go camping a couple of times this summer. We called on Kristine as one of our favorite sitters on this site. We discussed safety protocols and agreed to cleaning that we would do to leave the house safe for her to enter. She shared protocols that she had taken with other homeowners and had sound processes to make us feel safe leaving our cats and our home in her care. She even purchased batteries for our automatic cat feeder when it failed to let one of our confused kitties to eat. Kristine is a smart, humorous and a thoughtful person. I would not hesitate to recommend her for your sit. She truly loves animals and taking care of your home. Highly recommended! Thanks Kristine!
Caroline was a fabulous sitter and looked after our cat and the house beautifully. She is sensible and very self-sufficient but also kept us informed. We came home to a happy cat and a tidy house. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to others and hope she will sit for us again in the future!
Super nice sitters and extremely flexible. Really enjoyed their company and I only regret that I was too frazzled to chat with them more and get to know them! Kept the house super clean, pets loved them. Dog especially. Had a little problem with my new kitten not meshing well with the older cats (which was not too surprising since cats can be territorial). Pennee was very patient and gave me constant updates and tips. And the older cat was much more calm when I came home. Highly recommend and welcome back anytime!
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home overnight at Sittsy.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least €15 per visit, per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Sittsy.
What do people do with their cats when they go on vacation?
Inviting a cat sitter to your home, boarding the cat with a local business, asking a friend, family or neighbour to feed and check the well-being. The most efficient way to leave your cat during your vacation is with Sittsy cat sitters overnight, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
I have used the services of Pet Nanny for nearly one year. I can’t recommend it enough. My three dogs love it there, it’s like a second home to them. The facilities, the staff, the owner, simply wonderful, professional and caring minders. They not only love animals, but they also have the professional credentials to be animal minders and trainers. Try it out for yourself. You will not regret it
We regularly use the services of the Pet Nanny for our dog during our travels. We can highly recommend this great place and fantastic staff. Our dog loves to go there, she feels home and happy and get all the attention she needs. Everyday we get an update with videos and photos. And after her stay our dog comes home very relaxed. No doubt the best care we can imagine !
We take our dog to Pet Nanny for daycare every week, and he stays there for boarding when we travel. They have various play areas and a large swimming pool which our boy really appreciate. The caretakers there are wonderful to him, and we get videos and photos of him playing with other dogs every time we leave him there. It is such comfort to me and my husband to know that our baby is well taken care of and felt lucky that we have found them. Our boy LOVES being at Pet Nanny! ❤️
I dare to say this is the BEST pet hotel in Central Portugal (if not all Portugal). My husband and I visited several places in the region looking for the best place to leave our beloved 17 year old dog while we go on vacation and I am glad we chose PetNanny. Joana and her team are absolutely fantastic. They took care of our old and fragile dog as it was their own. Their love and kindness really shows! PetNanny has a new customer from now on and for many years to come. Thank you Joanna and team!!
Our 2 Doberman have just had a 2 week holiday with Pet Nanny can not fault the care shown to my dogs. Would highly recommend.
Would like to thank Pet Nanny for there fantastic Dog Grooming service. Fantastic owner and staff who always give clients (Dogs) a first class and attentive service. Thank you so much.
We are very satisfied with our dog’s stay at Pet Nanny Paradise Eco Resort. We are kept informed almost daily through videos. Communication via WhatsApp is easy and smooth, even with a few hours of time difference. Most importantly, I can see that at Pet Nanny Paradise Eco Resort they take a lot of care and attention for the dogs. Very professional!
If your dog needs training, I highly recommend Rui from Pet Nanny Paradise Eco Resort near Caldas da Rainha. Rui takes the time to understand each dog's individual needs. Then he teaches the human caregivers how to best help the dog. Rui's accessible and provides excellent feedback and tips. After just 2 sessions, I can see tremendous progress with my two rescue dogs. I also attended Rui's group dog training classes. There the focus was on socializing your dog so that walks are a pleasure and not a chore. I saw Rui helping all types of dogs...from big reactive types to timid dogs that need confidence building.
My dog has had such a wonderful time with Joana and Rui and the team. She comes home well cared for, happy and tired from all the fun, I suspect given a choice she'd like to stay longer!
Rui is kind, gentle, respectful of amimals & their owners. An excellent trainer. After 3 sessions our alpha female dog is more settled and calm in the presence of other dogs.
Adriana provides excellent, kind service! One of our cats is very shy, and she was very patient with him. She also did some extra things to care for our home because of a storm, and it was good to be able to relax and enjoy our trip knowing that our cats and home were well cared-for.
I left my two cat children for a week with Adriana and team, to stay at the Pet Valley establishment. Throughout the process, they were very professional with the questionnaire and paying attention to their needs. Adriana sent me pictures and videos daily to update me of their well-being. They had a nice environment and were kept active with games and play. Sammie also did some tricks like high fiving with Adriana. Upon arrival, everything was cleaned, packed and arranged very well. They even had little presents for the two cats, so sweet. If you need to leave your pets in very good hands, I highly recommend Pet Valley. Thank you very much for everything and we will see you soon!
Adriana and her mother took care of our cats, Oliver and Keiki, while we took a short trip. They did a great job — feeding, playing, and cuddling with them, as well as giving Keiki his daily medication. Our boys were in good hands! We recommend Pet Care Valley and would hire them again.
Adriana and her Mum looked after our two older dogs. They were excellent in every way and the dogs clearly loved them! Wouldn't hesitate to use them again.
Adriana is amazing! We left our dog for 2 nights with her and everything was great. Next time we will go to her again.
Our 3 cats were very well looked after by Adriana and her mum. We had updates videos and photographs each evening which we really appreciated. We won't hesitate to use this service again. Highly recommend Pet Care Valley
I just wanted to extend a heartfelt thank you for the wonderful pet bath service you provided for my furry family. Your attention to detail and care made all the difference. Haru and Nami came back looking and smelling amazing, and I could tell he/she enjoyed the experience. Your expertise and gentle approach truly shine through in your work, and I couldn't be more grateful. Thank you once again for your excellent service. We'll definitely be back for more pampering sessions in the future!
Great service! They were very careful with my dog. I recommend this service! Thank you so much ☺️
Adriana took care of my kitten Prometheus while I was away on a trip, and it was absolutely incredible. She gave all the care and then some, with fun and lots of affection, and Prometeus loves her! Adriana was always extremely professional and communicative throughout the process, which gave me a lot of confidence and left me feeling at ease during my stay abroad. I highly recommend it to any pet parent in the area!
I left my dog in the care of this professional while I was traveling and I was extremely satisfied with the service provided. From the first contact, she proved to be very attentive and dedicated. During the entire period I was away, I received daily photos and videos of my dog, which made me feel very calm and confident that she was in good hands. Furthermore, my dog was always in a good mood and happy in the images, which shows the excellent treatment she received. I highly recommend this professional to anyone looking for a care service for their pets. I will certainly count on her again in the future! 😁
