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.

Amanda was the perfect housesitter and pet sitter for our cat. She is organized and communicative, and took care to ensure she understood the guidelines for taking care of our home and our cat. She left our house in perfect condition and we returned home to one happy kitty! Would not hesitate to have Amanda housesit for us again or recommend her to others looking for a sitter.
Kelly and Chris are lovely people and we loved having them at the house! They were very engaged from the start, asking questions and wanting to know all the details on our pets. We were completely comfortable going away and didn’t worry during our trip knowing our kiddos were in such great hands. K & C gave us pics & updates as requested, and we loved seeing our pets have such a good time with them! They left the house in as good or better shake as it was found, laundering and folding linens and tidying up so well we could hardly tell they stayed here! They were communicative before the sit, during, and after. Kelly and Chris were the ideal sitters in every way. We’d welcome them back anytime and highly recommend them to others. Thanks you two!
BriAnna was our first pet sitter and we loved her :). She made every step very simple for us, communication was great, Pastis and Anubis seemed to be very happy with her, and the house was very clean when we came back. We highly recommend BriAnna to take care of your pets and we would love to have her back!
We've had many pet sitters over the years (this is our first time using this app) and Missy is the best sitter we've ever had for our dog and cats. Our pets, particularly our dog, adored her and was really sad to see her go. It is obvious she loves animals and immediately understood the pack dynamics and the pet personalities. She kept the house tidy, litter box clean, and the animals so well loved. Because she was traveling from far away, she stayed with us the night before our trip and the night we came back. It was a pleasure to get to know her. We would welcome her back to our house as a friend or a sitter anytime. Highly recommend!
We were so happy to have Kyle as our house sitter for two weeks. Besides taking great care of our pets and our house, he was very accommodating. We were always able to get in touch with him if we needed to, and he agreed to take on some extra plant watering’s when the weather made a sudden change. As a bonus, he is very likable and communicative. We would definitely have him come again.
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.
Laura was amazing with communication from the very beginning. She sent updates of photos and videos without even being told or asked to do so. She was watching our cat and treated her like her own. Laura was also very responsive when we were trying to find a sitter for our dates and answered any and all questions we had about her experience with pets and house sitting. I would recommend her to anyone! :) and hope we can have her house sit again for us.
Farhan is a fantastic house sitter! I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a down-to-earth, kind, and caring pet sitter for their home. We have three small dogs (around 6 lbs) and he took excellent care of them. They can be a little nervous/ timid around new people, and more so around men at times, but the dogs didn't show any of that nervousness around Farhan! He was gentle and respectful of their space and they warmed up to him immediately. I got a wonderful text the first morning that I was away that they cuddled up with him at night - showing how quickly they adjusted to him as their caretaker. I was able to meet Farhan in person before I left on my trip and I was able to have a wonderful conversation with an ambitious explorer. He is a delightful person. Upon my homecoming the house was very clean and the dogs were happy and relaxed. I can't ask for anything more! Thank you Farhan for taking such wonderful care of our three dogs and our home.
Neil and Anne have just sat for us for a second time, for a week. They are outstanding sitters in every way. Always punctual with communication and arrival. They both have responsible jobs and this is evident as they are both very organised. They care very much about the animals they look after. We were regularly sent updates, pictures and video clips of them, which is great to see when you are away. When we came home we were greeted by happy pets and an immaculately tidy house. We cannot recommend Neil and Anne enough. As far as we are concerned they are perfect housesitters! …...Hopefully they will come back and sit again soon!

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.
