Annie sat for our cat, Tuna, over a long weekend. She was extremely kind and self-sufficient. When we arrived home, Tuna was relaxed and happy and our apartment was as clean and tidy as we had left it. Annie would be welcome to sit for us again any time, we'd highly recommend her.
I could not have asked for a better first experience with zeewoi! Jordan and Nataki were great at communicating from the very start, and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I didn’t have to worry for a moment that my cat Anya was feeling lonely because I could tell she warmed up right away, even though she’s usually quite shy! They also went above and beyond making sure my apartment was tidy for when I got home. So grateful and would definitely be honored for them to sit for me again any time!
Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!
Hannah and Joseph were so kind, so communicative, and clean! Kevin seemed so happy in all the photos they sent. Not only did they wash my sheets and towels they used (without my requesting it, simply out of the kindness of their hearts), they ALSO then put my fresh sheets on the bed! 🥹❤️ Such incredible sitters. 10 stars!
Misti was wonderful! She was able to come by before I left town to meet my dog, Grace, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pics or videos and made sure that Grace got tons of snuggle time, which is a major requirement to keep my dog happy :) Cats and skateboards are evil enemies to Grace and it sounds like Misti experienced both and handled it flawlessly! Misti was a great communicator, left everything tidy for me when I got home and Grace was super mellow and relaxed, which tells me she got all the care she needed while I was gone. I highly recommend Misti - I'll definitely be asking her to sit again!
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.
Gwynn was wonderful! She was super communicative, flexible to come to our house beforehand to get oriented, and attentive to details. She connected with our pup, Scout, immediately and we felt so assured that he would be well cared for with her. We hope Gwynn can come stay again another time!
I was thrilled to have Courtenay as our sitter. We had a few last minute changes and she was very accommodating. She is a very pleasant, well spoken person who bonded very quickly with our dog, Pepe. We were in Europe and Courtenay keep us we’ll informed via internet, pictures and all. We came home to a clean house, a happy pet and a delicious pie she left for us in the refrigerator. You would be very pleased to have her as your sitter. Lucy Hottle
Wendy was great, she kept us updated on the dogs and all the fun she had hiking with them on the mountain. I returned home to a very tidy house. My dogs just loved her. I will definitely have Wendy sit for me again and would be very lucky to have her do a sit for you.
Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

I'm delighted to have found Lisa as a sitter and hope to have her back again! She was detail oriented and clearly cared about my cats' well being. She asked good questions about the cats' routines and needs and about the house to be sure she'd meet my expectations and have a comfortable and successful sit. She communicated very well before and throughout the sit and even though I was unreachable for much of the time I was confident everyone was in good hands. Lisa left the house in immaculate condition and the cats were relaxed and happy when I got home. What a delight!
Kathy and Ron have sat for us several times in the past and have always been excellent. They are our "go-to" pet and house sitters and we always check their availability before we post a sit. They are trustworthy, organized, communicate very well, and take great care of our cats and our house. We hope they will continue pet sitting for many years to come!
I was fortunate to have Hillary return for a second sit. She took excellent care of both my cat and my home. She got on well with my neighbors and even allowed my friend to come visit Suley while she was there. I especially appreciate how flexible and accommodating she was regarding arrangements for a sitter who would be taking over for the second part of my very long absence. All in all, Hillary is a gem!
Hannah and Joseph housesat our three kitties for a week and a half while we were traveling for the holidays. They were very communicative and conscientious. We received daily updated on our cats with cute and funny pictures. When they noticed our 17yo cat, Amber, wasn’t eating very much, they let us know and we were able to resolve the problem quickly. They were also very resourceful and understanding when we ran out of some cat supplies. Hannah and Joseph took great care of the house. Everything was very clean and tidy when we arrived back, and we had a short time to get to know them on our arrival. We would be fortunate to find more house sitters like them, and would of course love to have them back in the future! We wish Hannah and Joseph luck in their travels!
Stefany helped me out big time by stepping in when I asked. She's a local sitter and I wasnt' having any responses so I contacted her and she fit me into her schedule even during the holidays and right after another sit across the country. She took great care of my two cats and home and I very much appreciate it!
Kira was the best sitter we have ever had! I chose Kira because of her reviews, ability to sit during the dates I needed and willingness to communicate with my daughter/neighbor who co-parents Colby with us. I am always a bit anxious about having someone in my home and trusting them with our fluffy son. Kira put us at ease almost immediately. I received photos and videos everyday throughout the stay. I got updates on Colby’s activity and the fun they were having together. My heart felt full knowing that Colby was being well loved and cared for. Additionally, Kira was so kind to keep us posted on any deliveries that arrived at the house. Finally, when I arrived home, the house was tidy and clean! Again, I am so grateful that Kira was there keeping the house and my cat safe! I hope she will come back and sit again. I know Colby would love to see her again.
Wow, what a find Justin is! I feel as though I won a lottery. As I was revelling in the communication we were having during his stay, I looked over his profile and realized either that he had updated it during his stay OR I never even read it. I was so impressed with his initial application that described multiple stays taking care of cats in Turkey that I knew he was going to be a great choice. So I'm not sure that I even read his profile or reviews. Turned out...he was more than I could have EVER hoped for. Justin is VERY organized and clear with his communication. Just as--or maybe more--important, he is a poster child for what zeewoi can be: more than just an economical way to get a pet sitter or a place to stay. Justin embraces the barter economy and the opportunity it presents to get to know people. Although we only met the day that I turned the house and my 2 cats over to his care, we had delightful communication throughout his stay. He wanted to be sure he was providing the right care to all living and non-living elements of my home as well as just chat beyond what we'd had an opportunity to cover when we were face to face on the handoff day. Bottom line: I'd have Justin back even if I wasn't going anywhere! I've met a friend. And my neighbors did as well! Oh yes, and my two cats were well looked after, the house was in ship shape, and Justin was able to brief the next sitter in person (I'd had to extend my time away and Justin already had another commitment). To say I felt confident leaving my pets and home in Justin's care is an understatement. Justin is a real adventurer and believer in the power of both human and animal connection. Without a doubt, I would recommend him as a sitter...and a friend! Thank you, Justin for a great example of how to wrestle so much more meaning out of zeewoi.
Denae and Burl were absolutely fabulous house/pet sitters for 4 weeks, Dec 2022- Jan 23. They are very friendly and intelligent, caring towards the animals (2 cats and 1 lively dog), and left our home clean and tidy. It all went very, very smoothly. It was a pleasure to deal with such nice people. We have invited them back whenever they want and hope the rest of their exploratory mission is a great success. I would be pleased to be contacted if anyone needs a further reference.
Ruthee was a fabulous pet sitter for our three cats while we were gone for a month. Prior to the sit, she was consistent and communicative; she even came over early for a meet and greet to learn the routine. During the sit, she took great care of our three cats by playing with them (she made a fun cat toy!), scooping litter, feeding and watering them, and sent us text updates and pictures. We came home to happy fur babies and a clean home. She left the place very tidy which was greatly appreciated! We are so thankful for Ruthee and would recommend her should the opportunity arise. Your fur babies would be lucky to spend time with her. Thank you again for everything, Ruthee!
We can not exaggerate the care and love Juliet and Laurent gave to our cat, Piero, during his the last few weeks of life. While we left for our trip thinking he merely had a bladder infection, his symptoms turned for the worse a weeks into their sit and later revealed he had cancer. No one would wish their sitter to need to hospice their cat but Juliet and Laurent showed such compassion for Piero and volunteered to be with him when we made the decision to put him down. It was an emotional time for all of us and we will be forever grateful to our two caring cat and house sitters. We have had many fantastic housesitters through zeewoi but Juliet and Laurent top the list. Their professionalism, constant communication and compassion were exceptional. Should you have the opportunity to have them in your home, do not hesitate to book them, you will have no regrets. We do, however, regret that they had such a short time with Piero and had to experience such a painful event.
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 18 CHF 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!
Great dog-sitter! Our four-year-old beagle enjoyed staying with Luana in Lugano.
Luana is a very good girl! Not only super respectful of the dogs, but also very affectionate with them, you can see that she cares, and this is the huge difference compared to most kennels, the fact that the dog is in company and super pampered all the time, treated exactly like home. I left my dog with her for a long weekend (3 days, 2 nights) and he almost didn't want to come home😂 Highly recommended♥️
What can I say, Luana, her partner and their two splendid dogs are nothing short of wonderful!! They are decidedly scrupulous and attentive to the needs and complete well-being of each guest. Our dog was welcomed as part of the family, he immediately felt at home, every time he realizes that we are going to Peace&Dog he is full of enthusiasm! They gave us the tranquility and serenity of being able to leave our big dog with a light heart and without any worries, in case he can't come with us. In short, true magic made of skill, simplicity and a huge heart ♥️ We can only recommend this wonderful place made up of wonderful people and dogs 🌟
Liana came to pick up my Cippi, a 6 year old Golden, directly from home for about 5 hours. We introduced ourselves the day before and Cippi immediately got along with Luana and her two sweet fur babies. There is a small garden where our friends can play and run. Very positive experience and I will definitely use it again in the future. Well done Luana!!! A hug to all three.
Very nice and very professional. After an initial meeting to get to know each other and introduce our dogs, my mixed breed was welcomed into the house by Luana together with hers. They all have full access to areas of the house and a large garden to run around freely. Luana is very attentive and very affectionate with all furry friends.
Professional, dog lover and helpful! He is taking care of my 2 American Akitas. and I'm happy with how she approached the two of them ☀️
Finally, it's nice to have someone trustworthy in the area who can take care of my baby when I'm not around
We trusted Ringo to keep our carlina Rosalia while my wife and I were on an appointment in the center of Lugano. Delightful person, very helpful.
Very good, you can see that they love animals, they took care of my cat who doesn't rely easily but he proved to be playful with them, precise and good with timetables, they know how to make you feel safe for any type of request!!
Kind and professional
Very professional
Mrs. Pitton, the Global Pet Sitter can only marvel at your review. We have never had contact of any kind with her. You are certainly the wrong company, so we invite you to remove your review. Best regards Global Pet Sitter Team
Highly recommend, Luz is great and gentle with my dog 🤗 and he absolutely loves her🫶🏼. She’s one of the very few people I trust for his care. …
Luz from Pet Sitting Lugano took care of our little one when we went on vacation, her communication was constant with videos and photos, at all times we felt safe with her care. We highly recommend her, we will soon take our little one to be cared for again.
I am very thankful I have found Luz and her company. My golden retriever who is anxious without me is provided the best care. Extremely loving and sensitive to his needs, I could not be happier to have found someone who I can leave my dog with and know he is well taken care of and provided with everything he needs. It is a very good feeling to be able to go away knowing your dog is in the best hands.
Luz is beyond kind and loving with my dogs. There are truly no one else I would trust to leave them with in Lugano. She is great at following instructions and takes constructive feedback as a professional. We are so lucky to have found her! Thank you thank you.
We had an amazing experience, she took ash out all the time and gave him lots of love and care and playing, I couldn’t ask for a better day for my dog ash to have, you could see she put a lot of effort into building a relationship with him. Highly recommend!
Luz was lovely with our pup and sent numerous pics and updates throughout the weekend. Our dog was well cared for and I am happy to know we can call her again!
Had a great experience with Luz and watching our dog Teddy. She made sure to send us update pictures and was quick to respond when we reached out. Our dog is very timid and needs love and time to adjust but we did not see any sadness from him from our daily updates. Teddy was even able to sleep in bed with Luz which is what he does at home! Great overall experience! Will use again 😊
Luz is great. I left my puppy with her for one afternoon. Everything went well, she sent me videos and pictures during the hours she was taking care of Lilo and at the end I could see that Lilo really liked her. I highly recommend her and Lilo is looking forward for the next time! 🤗❤️
we give highest possible recommendation to Ms.Luz and her team! Care is both professional - and Loving. we have two dogs with distinctly different personalities; both responded very well to Luz Team care!
100% reccommend Luz to look after your furry ones. My giant dog loves her to pieces and I always get cute pictures to reassure me while I am away. There have been a couple of last minutes change of plans and Luz has been very accomodating with this. I feel very comfortable going on holiday with Luz taking care of my dog.
Janina is the kind of person every pet parent wishes they could meet. My little dog Lilo LOVES spending the day with Janina, Milo and Blu. Every time I pick him up he doesn't want to leave and whenever we pass by her building he runs to Janina's door wagging his tail. Janina is very available and always responds quickly. When she takes care of Lilo, she sends me photos and videos constantly. I trust her 100% and recommend her work with my eyes closed. Recently Janina even organized Christmas photos of the dogs with a professional photographer and it was a really cool experience When Lilo is at Janina’s Pet Care I don't worry, because I know he's having fun and being very well taken care of! ❤️🙏
Janina is an outstanding dog sitter, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she gives to my dog Lexi. From the start, her professionalism, warmth, and genuine love for animals put me at ease. Janina takes the time to understand Lexi’s needs and routine, ensuring she feels comfortable and well-cared-for. Lexi adores her, and I can tell she’s always thrilled to see Janina. Knowing Lexi is with someone so trustworthy and caring brings me real peace of mind. I highly recommend Janina to anyone looking for the perfect dog sitter!🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🐶🐶🐶🐾🐾
Janina is an absolutely outstanding pet sitter! We trusted her with our dachshund Jimmy and she exceeded our expectations - Janina went above and beyond to keep us updated, make our dog special food since he’s a picky eater, and ensured that he uses stairs for getting up/down the couches or beds (since dachshunds have fragile spines). She is an incredible pet sitter and an all around true dog lover. Janina has so much experience with handling a couple of dogs at a time and making sure they all behave and play in a sweet and gentle manner. She spoils all dogs with endless toy options and fun enrichment activities as well as healthy treats that they love! There is no one I trust more than Janina to watch our Jimmy! 🐶🤍
Janina is truly amazing with dogs, my dog ash loves her and feels safe with her, one of the most reliable people I’ve ever met! She puts a lot of effort to ensure that the dogs she cares for gets plenty enrichment and structure, I highly recommend her!
Fantastic Dog Sitter – Highly Recommend! We couldn’t be happier with Janina’s Pet Care. She took amazing care of our dog, while we were away. We got regular photo updates, and our shepherd looked happy and relaxed in every one. He’s allergic to a lot of dog food types and Janina was very attentive to follow his restrictive diet. It’s clear she’s experienced, reliable, and genuinely care about pets. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a caring and professional sitter!
We have had the honor of using Janina since we moved to Lugano. She had welcomed our timid Teddy with nothing but love and support in his time of need. We never had to worry about anything in regard to Teddy while he was with Janina. She was always communicative and ensure Teddy was well loved and taken care of. He was cuddled and loved so much each time. He even accepted being a city dog! Couldn’t recommend her enough!
Janina is always available and loves dogs. Mochi is happy to spend time with Janina, Milo and Blu every day, whether for a simple walk, a lively afternoon of day care or longer overnight stays.
Janina is a super professional Pet Care professional, serious and loving. My Nala loves it! If we are out of town, we feel at ease in entrusting our dog to his care. 100% recommended!
When I'm away for the weekend or on holiday and my Cooper can't come with me he stays with Janina and his Milo and Blu. Cooper is very happy to be with them and I know that Janina knows how to handle him even when sometimes he isn't at home behaves very well. Highly recommended.
Janina is exceptional, I leave my dog with her all day and she takes care of it impeccably! She offers lots of games and stimuli and is always willing to meet my needs and those of my puppy🥰 Super recommended! …
Luz is a very attentive girl, very sweet, responsible and establishes a unique bond with animals ❤️
He gave me confidence from the first moment, a love! Thank you!
I would highly recommend Zen Dogsitting. They are wonderful with my two cats and are trustworthy, reliable and all around amazing. They’re flexible and always make sure my boys are happy and well-cared for. The daily updates and good communication are top notch. Thank you for everything!
The kindest and most reliable people who takes the greatest care of our beloved dog. I have recommended Dogsitting Agno to all my friends in Ticino. I especially appreciate the daily updates with pictures and videos <3
Professional and super efficient service, Elsa, my bulldog found herself at home, in a comfortable environment full of love and cuddles. Highly recommended, I will definitely contact them in the future when I can't take it with me.
I thank Dogsitting Zen, especially Paola and her family for welcoming and looking after Kira. Super organised, available. Thanks for the help!!
Simply fantastic! I left my Amy with her for the first time and I already knew I could trust her 100%. I received photos every day with a description of the day. Reliable and helpful, I highly recommend!
Many times when we return to Ticino for a weekend or a week's holiday we leave it with them, because we know how much Numa feels at home, but above all I'm really happy to have met them! I would recommend them to anyone!!!! ❤️ 🐶🐾
Reliable, helpful, kind and fast. Super recommended!!
Our Hera felt very well looked after and was well looked after - highly recommended!
Very kind and helpful! We highly recommend!
Fantastic.
