Cat Sitting in Varallo

I recommend Cristian without hesitation, we got a sweet photo of our boy every day of our trip and came home to an immaculate apartment.

If it was possible to leave 10 stars, we would… Giorgio and Federica were 100% reliable, took amazing care of both pets and the house and the Garden were impecable when they left. They Even mowed the lawn and took care of a fire wood delivery that arrived when we were away. They went well beyond every expectation we could reasonably have to Housesitters! The dog enjoyed long daily walks and both pets were beautifully spoilt with cuddles😍.

I have truly won the jackpot with Elena and Francesco. All the rave reviews about this amazing couple is well, well deserved. It was my first time on TH as well as my first time being away from my pets for 2 and a half months so I was quite anxious to leave my home and babies to complete strangers. My concerns were totally invalid! My pets warmed up to them almost immediately! They cared for each one of them like their own, maybe even better than I do! My dog Guapo had a little hotspot that didn’t seem to go away right before they arrive and they tended to it until it was fully healed! My elder cat Lexi with a seasonal skin issue also was in the best fur condition when I came back. They truly cared for the pets just like it’s their own and it really shows. Even my house maid who comes once a week was truly smitten by them! What touched me the most was the home cooked food prepared for me in the fridge when I came back, the home necessities fully restocked which they didn’t have to, the little gifts for me, my pets and my house maid - and a little portrait of me and dog painted by Elena.

Kristina was fantastic and took wonderful care of our dogs - she sent regular updates, asked great questions, and was very communicative! We would have her back anytime!

Dawn and Kim seemed to love our house as much as they loved our cats! The cats were very happy and content, which is a testament to their great care. They were fantastic house sitters - highly recommended, no trouble at all. We'd definitely have them back again and have already spoken to them about it! Any pets would be lucky to have them sit and look after them - 5 Star!!

Povilas and Simona were PERFECT sitters. They took wonderful care of our home and cat while we were away for nearly a month. They were self sufficient and messaged us regularly with photos of Tuna. We returned to a clean and tidy home. Would absolutely host them again!

Karin is an absolute delight, second time around she’s sitting my cats and hopefully not the last! Only downside is that my cats like her more than me, that‘s how well she takes care of them! Do yourself a favor and don‘t look any further.

Mattia and Silvia are a very nice and lovely couple and are the perfect cat sitters , my cats loved them at all . I spent my days on the mountains sure that my animals were in good hands and looked after with love . I am very glad to have met them and I hope to see Mattia and Silvia again . Un grande grazie di cuore ❤️😻

Great communication from the start. Felt at ease while away.

Some pet parents may be looking for the merest assistance - food in a bowl and a little attention for their pets here and there. That bare minimum is what you will receive with this couple. If that is good enough for you, then great. If not, you should understand that they are not suited to care for your home, and more importantly, your beloved companions. We were quite baffled by how underwhelming these two cared for our pets and our home. Teddy and Bear were fed, yes, but the particulars which were clearly stated in our initial video conversation, and are further detailed in the manual, were quite obviously not followed. Having grown up with dogs for 20 years and had the pleasure of cats as pets/companions for more than 25 years, it was quite obvious by their behavior (particularly Teddy’s) that the care we had requested of them was overlooked. The “plant person” in Lucinda was definitely not present either. We had left clear (in pictures and text messages) which of the plants needed care over the week. Random plants we had NOT requested to be watered or cared for had been (leading to overwatering) and others we had requested were completely neglected, some of which died (a few on our balcony). The respect of our kitchen was completely absent. We were quite taken aback to find dirty dishes, bowls, and glassware put right back in the cupboards, unwashed, stained, littered with food, wine, drink, even lip residue, as if they had been rinsed with water and just thrown back in. It would be impossible to have put them away in such a condition without completely neglecting soap and a dish sponge. It was really, pretty nasty. Throughout our time away, we asked how things were going and from the beginning tried to give reminders about the particularities (because they were late on arrival and we could not see them before we had to leave) to which we were constantly responded to with “I know.” They clearly did not know, or did not care, and used our home like a bachelor pad, trying to clear things up at the last minute, as if we had no awareness of, or insight into, our own home, pets, or plants.
