Dog Sitting in Alba

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.

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.

Giovanna and Alfredo sat for us last year and we invited them to come back this year as we and Poppy our golden retriever liked them so much. Poppy was unwell during their stay and we can never thank them enough for the care and love they showed her. They are exceptional human beings and we can recommend them wholeheartedly.

Massimo was a wonderful pet sitter! He clearly adores cats and ours felt super comfortable with him from the beginning. He is thoughtful, kind, and clear. Would recommend to anyone!

Seconda esperienza con Cristiana che conferma l estrema cordialità, gentilezza e cure nei confronti di Menta! Grazie e spero di ritrovarvi presto 😍

Our house sitters David and Gogie are lovely, glorious and will be welcomed back at any time! It would be a pleasure to see them again. They have cared for our pets and our home as their own, and we could not speak any the higher for them. Wonderful, and we thank them enormously !

Elena is a wonderful dog sitter! She took great care of our dog Pucky, who enjoyed all his favorite activities and more. We came back to a very happy, and stress free dog! Our home was also well taken care of, and they even cooked us a dessert as a parting gift 😊. We hope there are future opportunities for pet sits with Elena and her partner, who are extremely trust worthy and organized. Thanking you both for your excellent care!

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.

Carroll was very reliable and extremely responsive. She took care of our dog and also made sure to follow directions regarding our home— i.e. being there to let landscaper into the yard, watering plants, taking out garbage. She also left a very thoughtful gift for our daughter. Thank you, Carroll!

Natali & Amit did a very good job and my cats have been treated very well. I have found them in good health and quite happy. Also the apartment was in good conditions and nothing bad did happen. Very a minor point: they could have used the vacuum a little more, but by no mean the apartment was dirty.
