“Kate & Iveta have taken care of my little girl multiple times now & I can always count on them to not only keep my baby happy, healthy, and content, but keep my home organized & cared for as well. Would be happy to have them back anytime!”

“Kate and Iveta looked after my cat, Timmy and I couldn’t be more impressed. They stepped in on short notice, were incredibly professional, and kept me well-informed throughout. I had complete peace of mind knowing Timmy was in such capable hands. When I returned, Timmy was calm, happy, and his coat was silky and shiny—clearly he’d been well cared for and thoroughly pampered. The house was also spotless, which was such a lovely surprise. Thank you so much, Iveta and Kate. Your care and dedication truly made a difference. The world is a better place with people like you, and I wish you all the very best.”

“I cannot recommend Kate and Iveta highly enough. They house sat for me over the Christmas period and were absolutely wonderful from start to finish. They took exceptional care of my animals and sent daily updates, which gave me complete peace of mind. My home was left amazingly clean and tidy, honestly better than I could have hoped for. Most importantly, they made the entire experience so easy and stress-free for me during a very difficult time. I spent all of Christmas in hospital with my poorly father, and knowing my home and animals were in such safe, caring hands meant more to me than I can say. They even extended their stay to help under my circumstances. Kate and Iveta are kind, reliable, thoughtful, and incredibly considerate house sitters. I would welcome them back without hesitation and highly recommend them to anyone looking for truly outstanding sitters.”

“Kate and Iveta were perfect! My two dogs took to Kate immediately. Iveta arrived the next day, and they sent me a video of her meeting my dogs, who were obviously more than happy to meet her. I received daily photos and videos of my dogs on walks and relaxing at home. The house was gleaming when I arrived home, and my plants looked great. I would have no hesitation recommending Kate and Iveta for your pets and home.”

“Katerina and her mom, Iveta were absolutely wonderful house and kitty sitters!!! They were kind enough to make some amendments to their busy schedule to accommodate our travel needs. We received daily updates of Phil playing, getting cuddles, taking naps in the sun, and lounging by the pool. We were so impressed with how tidy our home was when we returned! It really meant a lot to us to have such a clean house after being away for 9 days and arriving home positively exhausted. We are grateful beyond words for the excellent care our kitty received, and we just think the world of Katerina and her mom. We sincerely hope that our paths will cross again because it would give us great comfort to know our home and fur baby would be in such capable hands. Thank you Katerina and Iveta! Cheers to your next adventure!!!”

“I am writing to express my utmost gratitude and appreciation for the wonderful care you have provided for our 15-year-old Labrador. Over the past four times that we have entrusted our beloved pet to you, you have consistently shown incredible love and dedication. We have booked your services once again for June, as we will be attending a special birthday party in the UK, and we feel completely reassured knowing that our dog is in such capable hands. Your commitment to looking after our dog, especially given his advanced age, is truly commendable. Our neighbours have even remarked on the exceptional care you provide, from regular walks and grooming to ensuring his overall well-being. Despite his challenges as an older dog, you both handle him with such ease and compassion. Additionally, I must mention how well you take care of our property during your stays. Your reliability and trustworthiness are beyond compare. I wholeheartedly recommend your services to anyone in need of honest, reliable, and caring pet sitters. Your experience with both cats and dogs, coupled with your genuine love for animals, makes you the perfect choice for anyone seeking top-notch pet care. Thank you once again for everything you do. We look forward to seeing you in June!”

“As expected, the first few days our cats needed some time to adjust to us being away—but Katerina and Iveta kept us in the loop with regular updates and reassured us every step of the way. They sent us the cutest daily photos and videos of the cats playing, relaxing, and genuinely enjoying their company, which made being away so much easier. They always go above and beyond. Not only were our cats clearly happy and well cared for, but our home was spotless when we returned. You can really tell they take pride in what they do. We’ll definitely use them again and recommend them to anyone in the area looking for kind, reliable, and professional pet sitters.”

“Wow! How lucky are we to have found Kate and Iveta to care for our two cats, River and Rudy! They are the best pets and house sitters! They took such wonderful care of our older and shy fur babies and sent us consistent updates as to their well-being. We could tell that the mother and daughter team must have special talents when we got a video of one of the boys actually playing rather than hiding! They left our home clean, our plants tended, and our cats happy & content. What a relief to know a reliable, organized, communicative, and self-sufficient team was taking care of our boys and our home while we were away. We wholeheartedly recommend Kate and Iveta!”

“Kate and her mother, Iveta, have just completed their third long stay for us, looking after our two ragdoll cats in the Algarve, Portugal. We cannot recommend them highly enough. Every time they have been very conscientious and clear in their communication prior, during, and at the end of their stay. This particular time, we had to ask them to arrive early and stay on much later due to extreme family illness. They were marvellous in being so flexible to allow us to look after our loved ones without the worry of who was going to look after our cats. We had absolutely no concerns about the care of Mimi and Coco, who were clearly very content and happy. Kate was assiduous in sending videos and photos every two to three days as requested. They followed our instructions on care of the house and pets and were completely reliable and responsible. Our house was spotless when we returned—they had clearly spent a lot of time cleaning and looking after the garden and the house. They even left us a plate of home-cooked brownies for our return. We would not hesitate to ask them to come again to look after Coco and Mimi.”

“This was the third time we had Katerina and Iveta sit for us, and this was a long sit of 7 weeks. They do a wonderful job; our two cats obviously love them. They got them to walk on leashes—which we had tried ourselves unsuccessfully to do previously—and sent us videos of the cats playing and enjoying the great outdoors. Now, of course, the cats are spoiled and want walks every day! Katerina and Iveta are responsible, neat and tidy, and great at communication. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for great sitters.”

We enjoyed taking care of Benno. He was very friendly and sweet. We took care of him three   times already.  We gave him cuddles and took him for regular walks several times a day which he enjoyed a lot. He was a very sociable dog and he loved getting a lot of attention from us. We gave him his vitamins every day.  We kept the house clean and watered all the plants. We always like to see him again and spend time with him.  We have done house sitting for this host seven times.

House Sitting in Portimão, Algarve – Caring for Cat Brothers Teddy & William

Image
We loved taking care of Teddy and William. They were a fun duo. Teddy was very chill, relaxed and cute. William was playful and full of energy. They were indoor cats. They enjoyed playing and napping on their big scratcher.  Teddy liked cuddles, scratching and lounging around. William was a little football player and a goalie. He liked when we threw him little toys and he was able to hunt them. We fed them, played with them and cuddled with them. We gave Teddy his medicine twice a day.  We also watered the plants and kept the flat clean. The cats were great little rascals. Our time with them was enjoyable and memorable. We have house-sat for this host twice. Reference Sitters who treat your pets like family Katerina and Iveta were absolutely incredible, and I can’t recommend them enough! They stayed at our home for three weeks over Christmas to look after our cats, Teddy and William, and the love and care they showed was truly exceptional. From the daily updates they sent to t...
