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.

Pares is an experienced and quality sitter and we knew our cat Juniper (and a few plants) was well cared for. We received regular updates and photos which was really nice to have during our travels. While we missed Juniper, we could see that she enjoyed receiving cuddles and attention from Pares. Upon returning home, our flat was clean and tidy, and Juniper was very happy! Thank you for taking care of her!
Sharon and Milton are two of the nicest people I've met in my life. This is my first time having a sitter fly in from out of state and it was so simple, stress-free, and didn't affect any part of me getting ready for my trip, leaving for my trip or returning from my trip. Sharon was very communicative before, during and after I returned. It just couldn't have been more wonderful! If you're considering applicants stop looking and choose Sharon and Milton. They are just delightfully wonderful wonderful people!! They go above and beyond just housesitting and pet sitting! Tidy, clean, respectful down to earth and the most kind and loving people. I do believe Milton really is a cat whisper!! They slept with my sweet babies, and even followed silly grooming instruction on one of my cats. Would have them sit for me absolutely anytime.
Great sitter would hire Stephen and Jenny in a heartbeat. Great with dogs cat and house
Wow! Just wow! We cannot say enough about the care and compassion Trisha and John provided to our cats and our home. We are always somewhat nervous about a new pet sitter in our home, but that all faded when we met this wonderful couple. They provided daily updates as requested, complete with pictures, videos and personalized captions. Upon our return, we were greeted by happy and content kitties. There was no sign of anxiety in Tika! Yea!!! Our home was clean, the sheets and towels were washed and bed remade! They even left behind thank you notes and little gifts! What a breath of fresh air these two individuals are! We hope to have them back again soon.
Hannah and Joseph were brilliant sitters - totally reliable and trustworthy. Quick to respond to queries and their past experience with dog/ housesitting was very apparent. Our 2 dogs and 1 cat were well looked after and the house was spotless on our return. We are totally happy to recommend them.
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!
Caroline is an amazing sitter ! We were far away, had never left our cat for such a long period of time and we felt really confident with her. She took great care of our cat Honey as well as she did for the house, pool and garden. She was even able to handle the end of the refection of the bathroom which was a last minute surprise… We felt Caroline was reliable and self sufficient. We had a great communication with her during our stay abroad. We even found many nice intentions when we came back from our vacations such as fresh fruits and bakeries for a nice and welcomed breakfast after a night in a plane ! We definitely recommend Caroline for your sittings and we will obviously call her back !
Heidi was an outstanding cat sitter for my Luna! She was very communicable via calls or texts. She followed all my guidelines for feeding and care of Luna. Luna was very content when I arrived home thanks to Heidi! My home was immaculate when I arrived and she did some snow shoveling. She even pulled a large broken tree branch off my roof following a windstorm. I hope Heidi is available for my next trip because she is awesome. Jim
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!
Pennee and Bill were the BEST pet sitters and guests ever! I really wanted them to stay forever ! Our cat, Miss Kitty bonded so much to them, that she really wasn’t that happy to see me when I got home .Our cat is a finicky eater and they tried all different types of food and treats for her. They sent me regular photos of miss kitty and I knew everything was great when most of the pics had miss kitty on their lap. Our cat doesn’t take to many people but she immediately fell in love with them. Pennee sent us our mail and prescription meds on a regular basis , and went out of her way to take care of any issues . They fell in love with the neighbors and community and just made our lives so easy . We experienced the Covid 19 virus outbreak quarantine during this time and Pennee and Bill agreed to stay a month longer at our home . They were extremely flexible with their travel plans so that everyone would be safe. Upon our arrival home, we were greeted with a bouquet of flowers , beautiful hanging basket of flowers for outdoors and a beautiful bottle of wine . And our house had never been cleaner ! Bill and Pennee are a pet owners dream couple !I felt extremely lucky to have found such a great petsitter and new friend . We will be visiting each other in the future .
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 Zeewoi.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least $20 per visit, per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Zeewoi.
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 Zeewoi 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.
