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!
Chris and Julia were our very first sitters and are the most perfect house/pet sitters anyone would ever want!!! Julia sent video/pictures of our fur babies everyday and we noticed early on that our animals were very relaxed and happy!! This made our trip so enjoyable and stress free knowing that our animals were safe and being spoiled and loved the whole time. They even trained our dog to sit while her leash was being attached and was able to pet and hold our cat that is somewhat nervous around strange people he doesn't know. When I got back from the trip, the house was very clean along with Julia/Chris had washed the bed sheets, bath towels, vacuumed, dusted etc., and even washed the pet bedding. They also left some SE Asia treats for us to try which so sweet of them. Definitely the perfect house sitters!!!
We are thoroughly pleased with and impressed by Daniel's kind, generous, and careful care of our cat and our house. He is a committed and experienced sitter who completely understands his role and responsibilities and also how to gently win the confidence and affection of a pet. He is an excellent communicator, and he kept us regularly up to date on our cat's well being--sending us texts and photos at least once/week as we requested. Our cat who is a little afraid of new people, grew fond of him, and we have returned to a very calm, contented cat. We highly recommend Daniel, and we ourselves would be thrilled to engage him again when the need arises.
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!
We literally cannot say enough positive things about Susan and Miranda! They are the best! From start to finish, they did an amazing job communicating with us, giving our 3 (somewhat needy) cats extremely high quality care and tons of attention, and keeping our house clean and plants watered. They took adorable pictures of the cats and sent them to us several times a day, played with them and gave them so much love and affection, and when we got home the house was even cleaner than when we left. We even asked them for some tips on how they were caring for the cats because our cats seemed happier and more relaxed than ever when we returned home to them! This was by far our best cat/house sitter experience to date. We hope Susan and Miranda are available again in the future to sit for us and would invite them back without hesitation.
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.
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!
Oh wow! Everyone should be so lucky to have Nicholas and Veerle watch their house and pets. These lovely people are pros! They communicated early and often, were super accommodating to some last minute changes (it was originally going to be only our cats to watch but we decided to keep the dog home as well so that added to the schedule and care needs) and they left the house spotless and all set up for another sitter who came in after them. We didn’t get the chance to meet because my departure and arrival times but I dearly hope I get to in the future because they were just great! I even heard how nice they were from My neighbors who say them out walking our dog. :-) They also sent regular pictures of the pets which look like pro-photography! Cannot recommend this couple enough! Your pets and house will be in good hands!
My husband and I reached out to Toby & Chloe after reading their profile and impressive reviews only a week before our trip, since our scheduled sitter had to cancel at the last moment. They were very friendly and quick to respond to chat from the very beginning, and ended up exceeding our expectations during their two week stay. It was evident they had thoroughly read our Welcome Guide beforehand, as they arrived knowledgeable and prepared to care for our home and pets. They were very willing and happy to take the necessary time with us to walk through the house and meet our cats, as we got them acclimated with our daily routines and answered any questions. Shortly after we left, our city had a heat wave come through, and after immediately notifying us, Toby went beyond the call of duty and inspected our struggling AC unit to pinpoint the issue. As far as cat care is concerned, we have two seniors (who have more sensitive tummies) that can get irritated after a fur ball or swallowing anything out of the ordinary. When this occurred, Toby & Chloe stepped in and took wonderful care of our cat duo; softening their food and even cradling while hand-feeding them for extra comfort. We truly could not have asked for more affectionate and responsible sitters. We returned to a spotlessly clean home, happy cats, and well maintained plants and pool. (They even cleaned our dusty Kitchen pendant lighting, which requires a steady hand and is definitely a time-commitment …We felt like professional housecleaners had been there!) On our way back, Toby & Chloe stayed in communication with us to monitor our arrival time, allowing them to care for our cats until just before we got home. Overall, they are very reliable and trustworthy sitters whose genuine goal is to provide a top-quality sit, while maintaining your household and seamlessly transitioning to your pets daily schedule.
Kristi was an exceptional house / pet sitter and we appreciate her being so flexible as were not sure how long our vacation was going to be. She was prompt, courteous, and even drove up the weekend before to meet with us. She took great care of our house and our dog snd cats loved her. I would highly recommended her.
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!
It was a pleasure working with Fido’s playground BCN. Alex took care of my two fur babies with great handling and love. He is knowledgeable in caring for dogs and made sure my pups were comfortable and at ease while I was away. Alex followed the prep instructions I gave for the dogs lunch. He made sure my dogs had enough exercise and play during the day. Alex constantly sent me updates by text with photos and videos of the dogs. That made me feel secure and knew that things were going well while I was away. I highly recommend their services! Trusted doggy day care while in Barcelona! I will definitely go with them next time I'm in town. Thanks Alex and the crew at Fido’s Playground BCN!
Alex and his team are a wonderful part of our extended family! Their care for Doni is fantastic and he is probably very happy whenever we travel. He gets cuddle and care and a lot of attention🤎 Doni is quite a personality and by his breed suspicious towards strangers and quite protective. But the Fido team has made their way into Donis heart and he is always super happy to be with them! I can recommend the team very warmly.
We have two cats and it is always a challenge to find someone to look after them. But it was a wonderful experience with the Fido’s Playground team - the cats were not only looked after, but also played with every visit, not letting them get bored. I highly recommend it and will definitely contact again!
During our recent summer holidays, we asked Fidos Playground to take care of our little feline, Chapi. Daria helped us and took care of her, and we were amazed how quickly Daria and Chapi bonded. Daria is amazing and a true animal friend. The videos and pictures she shared with us were such a joy to watch! Daria even took care of our plants and started feeding the little birds that come to visit our patio. We continued with this great idea, and now we watch the birds eating and bathing every day with our daughter of three. I would highly recommend Fidos Playground and would rate them even higher, if this was possible!
Would like to recommend Alex, Daria and the Fido to anyone looking for a pet sitter in BCN. We met them 9 years ago when we moved to BCN and have worked with them non-stop since then. We have 2 dogs and 2 cats and travel a lot which requires extensive service. Alex, Daria and the Fido team have always been here for us and our furry babies to the point they have become our animals ´ other parents! Our animals love them and show their love with super warm greetings. The team is super professional, kind, available and also flexible. We always try to book ahead of time but in case of emergencies, the Fido team never let us down. Alex also does an amazing job with the bookings: replies fast and get things done quickly and in a super organized manner. Pls reach out any time if you have questions.
Fido’s is my trusted pet sitter when I’m away for work travel. They’re very professional, responsive, and provide updates of my dog throughout the day with pictures and videos. I highly recommend!
Exemplary pet care - our two frenchies were so happy to stay with Flo for a weekend! She is very responsible, attentive and available all the time 24x7, so you literally have no space for worries! 100% recommended, +1 happy customer of Fido’s Playground!
We’ve used this service a few times and every time has been smooth and seamless! Valeria has taken great care of our cat, Kimchi, catering to Kimchis need for affection and our need for checking in by sending ample photos and videos. From initial inquiry to the actual sit, everything is handled professionally, with quick and clear communication at all stages.
Majella from Fido’s Playground watched our dog during a day so we could do some site seeing. She was very sweet, responsible and caring, and so we could really enjoy our day in Barcelona and so did our dog!!!
Alex and team did a great job managing my request and finding care for my pup ! Will definitely use them again !
Pet Kangaroo took care of my Puchu for a week in the best way. Puchu is 15 years old and has his tricks, but they were very affectionate with him and took him for walks often, and they always wrote to me to tell me how he was doing and send me photos. In a few days she will be back, very happy!
Our pet Oliver always stays with Liliana when we are not at home. They always keep you informed of how they are, send you photos and do activities with them! I recommend it 100%🐾 …
100% recommended, I have left my dogs with them many times, and they are completely trustworthy. We already consider him as family.
He takes care of my two cats and does a great job. 100% recommended
We highly recommend Liliana for the excellent care and experience we had caring for our little one. Without a doubt, we will leave Oli with her again when necessary! 🩵 …
Recommended 100%, it was the first time we left Lupine in someone's care and with my eyes closed I would leave him again, they pamper the little dog as if he were their own owner!!
Excellent service, Liliana loves taking care of her canine guests. I always recommend it!
