Leslie and Kyle set the bar for all other pet sitters! On the first morning of their stay my cat got out due to a faulty window in my apartment and they handled the situation so well. Leslie sent a text explaining what happened and that my cat had returned safely and she was so calm about the whole thing that it put me at ease for the rest of my trip. Kyle went above and beyond and not only fixed the window screen (he actually fixed two screens during their stay!) but also made sure the window was secure until maintenance could come and fix the issue. Their go with the flow attitude was amazing. I would 100% have them sit for me again! I can not recommend them enough. You would be lucky to have Leslie and Kyle as your sitters :)
We were lucky to have Andrea back for another sit with our elderly dog and feral cat. She has been wonderful both in the past and on this last sit for a month! We trust her implicitly and are always at ease that our pets will have the most kind and careful attention. She is excellent with videos and communication and very clean and tidy. Again we feel lucky to have found her, and feel she would be a great sitter for any pets!
Sharon was a fantastic sitter for our week away! She left the house as tidy and clean as we left it, including changing the sheets for our arrival. I truly cannot even tell she was here and that made coming home after a long travel day so much easier. She was communicative every step of the way and provided daily updates on our cat with photos. We knew our home and pet were in good hands! I would gladly welcome Sharon back any time should we be so lucky : )
Lindsay and Bryce provided excellent care to our two cats while we were gone. They are great communicators, took amazing care of our apartment and send regular updates and photos so that we knew all was going well. We would absolutely recommend them as responsible and thoughtful pet sitters who can be entrusted with the care of your home and pets.
Exceptional Pet Sitters - Highly Recommend Diedre and Keith! I am thrilled to leave a glowing review for our trusted house and pet sitters, Diedre and Keith. They took exceptional care of our long-haired cat, Molly, and our home during our absence. Everything went incredibly smoothly, and their communication was top-notch. Dierdre and Keith provided regular updates, including delightful pictures of Molly, which put our minds at ease while we were away. Upon our return, it was evident that Molly had been well cared for and was content. The genuine love and understanding Diedre and Keith have for both dogs and cats was apparent in their interactions with Molly, and it was clear that they had made her feel comfortable and secure in their care. Their friendly and professional demeanor made the entire experience truly enjoyable. In addition to taking great care of our beloved pet, Diedre and Keith ensured that our home was in excellent condition upon our return. They even went the extra mile by informing us about the leftovers they left in the fridge, which was a thoughtful gesture. I wholeheartedly recommend Diedre and Keith as exceptional pet and house sitters. Their attentive and caring approach, coupled with their expertise, make them a perfect choice for anyone seeking reliable and trustworthy sitters. Don't hesitate to entrust your home and pets to this fantastic duo!
Deboraj took great care of the apartment and of our goofy unsociable cat. She went out of her way to bring catnip and make friends with Rowan. She communicated often and cared to be as good a house and pet sitter as could be. I can gladly recommend her highly to anyone else looking. Thank you Deborah.
Toby and we were SO lucky to have Tom be our home and pet sitter for our Thanksgiving Holiday trip! From the very beginning Tom was responsive and communicative. He was even able to arrange a "meet and greet" with us and Toby before beginning his stay. While here Tom took great care of our home, and, most importantly, provided wonderful care of Toby! When we got home everything was in perfect order and we could tell that even though Toby was happy to see us he was going to miss Tom. I would be thrilled if we could have Tom as our zeewoi again. You will be lucky if he can do the same for you. :)
5 stars? Minimum, seriously, Tyler exceeded our expectations and we are DEMANDING when it comes to caring for our 4 pups! Fortunate to meet Tyler in person about a month prior, instant rapport, and she was basically born surrounded by animals. Professional high energy, and enthusiastic love for animals! We asked Tyler "Why the heck would you drive 1.5 hours from Nashville to hang in our small town?" Tyler replied "Have had animals all my life, current Nashville location cannot, I need my animal fix!" Tyler arrived the evening prior to our departure, met our 4 dogs, the eldest is special needs with bad hips, the youngest a wild child 2 year old husky, and in the 15 years of having family or friends assist with our pup sitting, this is the most positive and enthusiastic our dogs have been to anyone outside our home. It was an instant love affair. Our dogs are so spoiled with mom & dad working from home, nearly 24/7 attachment, they typically become depressed, despondent, ornery, you name it, even if we go out for 2-3 hours. The 3 instances where we did an overnight trip or the like, they acted as if we had abandoned! When we came home after 3 nights away (was going to be 5 but business cut our first vacation in 10 years short), when we walked in the 4 of them looked up as if to say "Oh your home how nice" and were content as if we had never left. That is a FIRST in 15 years. Not only did Tyler provide us with updates, photos, messages, etc. she organized (we did not require nor ask) our complete chaos of a large kitchen drawers, pots pans, you name it, it was the most organized we have been in a LONG time. Our eldest handicapped Husky, usually has accidents in the house at least once a day. The youngest 2 year old loves to chew up the carpet, toys, bedding. Under Tyler's watch, no accident, no chewing, and total happiness from a new affectionate friend! This was our VERY FIRST Trusted House/Pet sitter foray, and Tyler far exceeded or expectations, and set a standard that will be difficult for others to follow. Allowing a total stranger to watch your beloved pets and home is a serious undertaking, and Trusted House/Pet provided us with a rock star. Family and friends alike joke how we are over the top with our dogs, and Tyler did not bat an eye, and provided a seamless transition of puppy affection and well being. This review may seem over the top to some, all I can say is this is 100% true to life, and other Home/Pet owners are welcome to reach out to us for further referral. Those who are able to work with Tyler depending on her work/travel schedule would be well served to invite her without hesitation. Tyler, THANK YOU for allowing us to enjoy a few nights for the first time in a decade! Dean & Diana Smith
David was a super interesting guy, we had good conversation. My place was clean, my cat was happy...he communicated with me.. David is a great house and pet sitter . He is very gentle, which my cat enjoys.
Judith was one of the most considerate, trustworthy sitters we've ever had. We had to leave in a rush for a family emergency and really didn't have time to prepare the house as we usually do, but Judith took all in stride, leaving the apartment spotless. She sent photos of Baby Boo and Janet on arrival, putting us immediately at ease because it was so obvious the cats were completely comfortable, zero stress, allowing us to relax that they were in such good hands. She sent photos and video every day, which delighted us, confident that they were getting next level care. Judith would take care of anyone's home and pets with as much care as she did at ours, and we highly recommend. Hope she can come back!!

We are so happy with Leslie. For our (first) dog Lotte, a small 7 month old poodle we were looking for grooming services in Lagos. We didn't really know what care she needed so we’re even more happy to have found Bed & Biscuits! Leslie took a lot of time and answered all of our questions at a friendly phone call and again at the first meeting. You can immediately tell how much she loves dogs and that it is truly her passion. We immediately felt that we were leaving Lotte in good hands and were very excited about the result. Since Lotte never had been groomed before, we were extra nervous on how she would do/behave. But Leslie takes her time with the dog, listens to her needs and slowly gets her used to the grooming process. When we picked up Lotte we were overjoyed. She looked sooo cute - Expectations for sure exceeded! Lotte said goodbye to Leslie with a happy wiggle tail. We can only wholeheartedly recommend Leslie to everyone and are super happy to have found her here in the Algarve! We look forward to every visit and are grateful for her tips and expertise! Thank you! <3
Big shout out to Leslie Craig and her Bed and Biscuits dog hotel. Sophie spent almost 3 weeks there on doggie 🐶 vacation while I was delayed in the USA. She got to run in the woods and play at the beach and hang out with Leslie’s dogs at the Quinta in the big dog run. With her private “heated” bedroom she now puts herself to bed. The bonus was a bath and grooming so now she looks prettier than ever and feels incredibly soft. Highly recommend taking your dog for stays or overnights. She’s conveniently located outside of Lagos. Thanks Leslie!
We took Baxter our cocker spaniel for a groom and we were so pleased when we picked him up. He had been cut to cocker spaniel breed standard from the book. Much better than some of the grooming he had in the UK. Excellent.
Beautiful happy place with happy owner. Completely secure surrounds .
I loved the spaces for the little dogs, very well decorated and a family feel
I cannot say enough good things about Vanessa - Algarve Petsitters & Home Services. Vanessa cared for our two fur babies Izzy & Ollie for 3 weeks. We feel they received wonderful care, abundant attention. Vanessa took exceptional care of all our indoor and outdoor plants. Many thanks for leaving our home in excellent shape. Vanessa kept us updated with photos and videos giving us comfort that everything is under control. Vanessa is trustworthy and dependable. We highly recommend Algarve Petsitters and Home Services.
I'm so glad I found Algarve Pet Sitters, in the person of Vanessa. She was perfect, and I felt completely reassured leaving my cat with her for a week. Every day, I received photos and videos of my cat, and it was clear she was enjoying her time with Vanessa. Although she also sits for dogs and other animals, she ensured that my cat was the only cat staying with her for the week, which was very important to me. I definitely recommend Algarve Pet Sitters and will certainly use their service again whenever I need it. Thank you so much! 💖
A huge thank you to Vanessa for looking after our fur baby Sofia for a whole week! It was Sofia's first time staying over at 'aunty Nessa' and Sofia loved every minute! Thank you for all the walks ; special attention; extra love and care! And most of all for all our daily updates and photos! It was lovely to see how much fun Sofia was having whilst we were having fun on our holiday in Disney Paris! We could truly relax knowing Sofia was in good loving hands! Sofia will definitely visit her aunty Nessa again!! Lots of love Yvette, Quintus,Jeanevi and Sofia♥️
Thank you so much Vanessa. Luna has had a wonderful 3 weeks with you! Vanessa pet/house sat for 3 weeks while we were away. She provided lots of photos and videos and Luna was truly spoilt with love and outings 🥰 We came back to a spotless house too 😊 Thank you for giving us peace of mind that Luna was not only in safe hands, but having a ball at the same time.
Vanessa was amazing, she was able to accept and take Care Of our dog with a very short notice (less than two hours!). Our dog was really happy with her, and Vanessa would always be in touch by sending updates and pictures of our Arya 😍😍😍 I would recommend her 100% shes lovely with all of the pets she takes care of ☺☺☺
Vanessa took excellent care of Zalto for two consecutive periods, one long weekend and thereafter during a two week period. We were constantly informed about how she behaved and what activities they undertook. Needless to say, Zalto had a more active time with Vanessa than at home. A totally relaxed, accustomed and happy dog met us on our return. Vanessa - you are a dream and a fabulous caretaker. Big hugs and thanks . Birgitte & Egil
My little dog stayed with Vanessa for two weeks whilst I was away. Vanessa sent me several daily updates in pictures, films and messages reassuring me my doggy was having fun, out walking and playing and generally just happy. Vanessa welcomed my little dog in to her home treating him as her own. I’m very grateful for my dog being so well looked after and cared for.
I'm so glad we found Nessa. She has looked after our cat Alfie twice now, and I highly recommend her. She gives us daily updates and photos, and when we return, he is always super happy. We have used several different pet sitters over the years, but Nessa is by far the best. thank you so much.
Vanessa was great! My dog was well taken care of and she updates with plenty of pictures and videos.
Nessa was fabulous and gave our Cavapoo Stewie excellent care during his day and overnight stays. Stewie formed a great bond with Nessa and the other pets he hung out with during his visits. Stewie will miss Nessa and hopefully we’ll see her later in the year.
