Pet sitting in your home
Putting your precious dogs or cats into a kennels or cattery can be a stressful time for both you and your PET. THIS IS ESPECIALLY SO FOR MANY small, elderly, disabled or nervous animals.
Why not let me come and care for them in their own home, where they WILL feel MUCH MORE safe and secure?

Are you within a 30km radius of Oliva and have small / elderly dogs or cats, who would like a pet-sitter at your home, so you can go on holiday? After losing my little darling dogs Gonzalo and Jessie, I'm not ready to have another animal full-time in my life, but I'd love to look after yours for a few days.
I'm a bit decrepit and walk very slowly with a stick, but I could quite easily manage to look after a cat (or two!) or a little dog / elderly dog who won't need me to run around after them or take them on long walks... I can give them lots of cuddles and care - or give them space if that's what they prefer - in their own home, making sure that they are fed and watered in comfort. I should perhaps add that I can bend to do the poop scooping! If you've got WiFi, I'd bring my laptop so I can sit and write, whilst looking after your dog / cat.
So if you're thinking of going away but worrying about putting your much-loved furry friend into kennels or in someone else's home (both of which can be very confusing for animals), let's discuss.
how i can HELP you
-
Please give me details of what you need, where and when, and for which animals.
-
We will meet at your home to introduce me to your pet(s), and discuss details. (This - and my travel - will be factored into my fee.)
-
All dog owners in Spain are required to have insurance for their animal, which includes third party liability. Please check with your insurers whether this covers a pet-sitter staying in your home.
-
For the pet=sitting itself, I will need details of your vet, including address and contact details, and any medical records / pet passport that I might need to show to the vet, should there be any problems for your animal(s) during my stay. I would of course inform you as soon as possible of any emergencies, and keep you fully informed throughout.
-
I can provide daily photos and voice / video messages, so that you know your loved animals are being cared for.
-
You will need to give full details of feeding regimes for each animal, including any treats - and their daily routines.
- Bookings should be (ideally) within a 30km radius of Oliva.
- My fees are per 24-hour period, including staying overnight at your home.
Terms and conditions
-
All fees to be paid at time of booking, via credit card or Paypal - these methods offer security for both of us (I will provide a link).
-
All fees include an element for my travel, as well as 21% IVA (I am an Autonomo worker in Spain, this is the tax I pay on my earnings).
-
Your name and contact details will be held confidentially, solely for the purposes of maintaining a booking diary and accounting receipts.
-
Cancellation of a booking (by either you or me) should be made with at least 24 hours notice - a re-booking can then be offered.
-
Cancellation (by you) with less than 24 hours notice will be non-refundable.
-
Please remember that I am partially disabled and walk slowly with a stick. I can look after cats and either small, medium or elderly large dogs who do not need a lot of exercising. I am able-bodied enough to feed and care for as well as deal with their pee and poop needs though!
