Fit

Who pet sitting is for

Best for dogs who prefer familiar environments, senior dogs, dogs who need quieter pacing, or families who want in-home support while traveling.

Great fit for

• Dogs who settle better at home
• Puppies and seniors with routine needs
• Dogs who get overstimulated in group settings
• Families who want calm, structured visits

Not a fit (yet)

• Severe aggression / unsafe handling risk
• Active guarding that escalates with visitors
• Panic-level separation distress (without a plan)

If this is your dog, we’ll guide you to the safest next step.

If your dog needs training support

If your dog is working through resource guarding, separation anxiety, or reactivity, we can set a calm plan first so visits stay safe and predictable.

Visit flow

Simple visits that keep your pet regulated

Every home is different — the structure stays consistent: calm arrival, needs met, and a clean exit.

Arrival

Calm entry + check-in

We keep energy low and predictable.

Needs met

Meals, potty, water

Aligned to your notes + routine.

Settle

Walk / enrichment

Then calm settle before we leave.

What’s included

• Daily photo + short update
• Meals, water refresh, and routine notes followed
• Structured walk (for dogs) or calm enrichment
• Basic home check (doors/windows) on exit
• Emergency protocol + vet preference on file

Overnight pet sitting (by request)

If you specifically need an overnight stay at your home, request it and we’ll confirm fit + dates. For many dogs, home boarding is the calmer option — and for “dog hotel” searches, see our home-style dog hotel.

FAQ

Common questions

Do you cover both Ericeira and Mafra?

Yes — this page targets Ericeira + Mafra with one service: calm, routine-led pet sitting. If you’re slightly outside, request and we’ll confirm quickly.

Is pet sitting better than boarding?

It depends. If your dog settles best at home, pet sitting is ideal. If your dog is calmer in a structured home environment with predictable handling, our boarding may be the better fit.

Do you offer “dog hotel” style care?

If you mean a large kennel facility, no. If you mean safe overnight care with updates and calm structure, see our home-style dog hotel page (boutique home boarding).
