PAOLO AND BIANCA —
LONG-TERM HOUSE AND PET SITTERS YOU CAN ACTUALLY TRUST
We've been caring for other people's homes and animals full time since 2016 — not as a side hustle, and not as a gap-year adventure.
House and pet sitting is the foundation of the lifestyle we've spent the last decade building: slow, intentional, deeply rooted travel that lets us show up fully for every home and every animal in our care.
Over 60 house sits. More than 50 animals cared for across 17 countries on 5 continents.
We're TrustedHousesitters Ambassadors with full background checks and a decade’s worth of glowing 5-star reviews.
If you found us because you're looking for long-term pet sitters who treat your home like their own, you're in the right place.
COUNTRIES WHERE WE’VE HOUSE SAT
We've completed long-term house and pet sits in: Thailand, Malaysia, Greece, Portugal, Cyprus, the Netherlands, Spain, Italy, Croatia, Malta, Romania, Mexico, Costa Rica, Panama, Morocco, Grenada, and the United States — and we’ve traveled in many more.
WHAT HOMEOWNERS SAY
This isn't a bullet point in our profile. It's a genuine part of how we travel.
We've organized weekly beach cleanups in Greece, hosted a zero-waste workshop in Spain, distributed food to people facing food insecurity in Portugal, walked dogs living in animal shelters in various countries, and so much more.
We shop at local markets, try to learn the local language, support independent businesses, and look for ways to leave each place a little better than we found it.
We follow local recycling rules, compost whenever we can, and keep our energy consumption low — not because we're performing sustainability for homeowners, but because it's how we aspire to live.
We believe that long-term, ethical travel is a relationship with a place — not just a cheaper way to be somewhere for a while. That belief shapes everything about how we sit.
How We Give Back
“They always have a positive impact on wherever they are, at the community level and at the home level, and that sort of legacy is rare to find.”
HOUSE & PET SITTING REVIEWS
-
These two angels loved my cat so much. I was able to enjoy my vacation as I received photos, videos, and communication that exceeded my expectations.
I returned to a happy cat, and my apartment was cleaner and more organized than when I left.
-
Paolo and Bianca are dependable, reliable, consistent, and trustworthy caretakers of both homes and pets. I'm losing track of how many years I have invited them back to my home to take care of everything — including my most valuable asset, Ariel — while I'm traveling for extended periods for work. But the fact that people like me continue to invite them back again and again, year after year, should be the most solid testimonial you could ever need.
They're not always available because they're in high demand as one of the very best caretaking teams on this platform, so if they're available for your travel dates, consider yourself very lucky.
Another thing that I think is important to mention is that this dynamic duo doesn't just exist in isolation when they come to a new — or return to a — community. They are proactive in trying to get to know and support the local community, whether that be shopping at locally owned stores, participating in sustainability initiatives in the area, or helping to spread the word about events and activities put on by locals.
Frequently when I am back home and in my normal daily routine of walking Ariel around the city, neighbors and community members come up to me and ask how Paolo and Bianca are doing and when they're coming back. They always have a positive impact on wherever they are, at the community level and at the home level, and that sort of legacy is rare to find, even on here.

I wish I could give 10 stars!! Bianca and Paolo are top-notch house sitters. I could not recommend them enough.
Since first meeting them on Zoom, I knew they were professionals. They asked all the right questions and made sure it would be a great fit for both of us. They were very communicative the entire time and gave me weekly updates on my home and my plants. I could tell they genuinely cared for my plants and the hummingbirds.
It is sometimes difficult to find people who will actually take great care of your home. I am so happy to have found Bianca and Paolo. They went above and beyond in caring for my home — they cleaned in places I didn't think was possible! They knew I was arriving late from the airport and had a delicious homemade meal waiting for me when I returned, with a lovely table set up and little extra touches too.
I definitely noticed every single thing they did to make me feel so welcome when I returned — even cleaning the windows, which I did not expect at all.
In the end, I wish I could have Bianca and Paolo as my house sitters every time I go away. These guys are the most professional and experienced sitters out there. I hope to see you both in the future!

Paolo and Bianca did an excellent job caring for our cat, Milo, and our home. They met each challenge with a can-do attitude and kept us informed.
The StarLink internet system failed and they navigated purchasing and setting up a new system. They also had to oversee the finishing of an exterior painting project, manage the housekeeper and gardener every week, and deal with the recycling and garbage collection. There was also a car issue with the battery, which they figured out quite successfully.
Milo required medical care during their stay and they did a fantastic job of caring for him. He loved and trusted them, and I think he misses them.
On their last night with us, Paolo cooked a delicious and authentic Italian pasta. They are a delightful and industrious couple and we would welcome them back.
-
Paolo and Bianca are absolute pros at this. They were model guests and took great care of the house, deep cleaning and leaving it in much better shape than when they arrived. They also helped when the car battery died, without fuss.
Love their community spirit, attention to detail, and consideration.
They are welcome back any time. Thank you both!
-
We were really lucky to have Paolo and Bianca looking after our cat, Miss Karlsson, and our finca in Tenerife. We could completely relax during our holidays because we knew that everything was taken care of.
Communication was smooth and quick, and both had a deep understanding of the needs of our cat and of what had to be done at our place while we were away. They arrived a few nights early to get to know the place and give us the chance to get to know them, which was very much appreciated as it was our first experience with TrustedHousesitters.
We would definitely like to have them back next time!
-
Paolo and Bianca are an amazing couple. My dog and cat felt at ease with them from the very first day. They are so experienced at pet sitting that they know exactly what to do and how to be with the animals. They immediately became part of the family.
Whilst I was away, I had a few problems with my house, and they dealt with them with ease, like the professionals they are. I really can't praise them enough.
The house and garden were immaculate when I returned. They met me from the ferry terminal, helped me with my bags, and even cooked me lunch the day they left for their next sit.
I hope to see them again — I feel like I have made new friends. 🧡
-
Another great sit experience from Paolo and Bianca. Others should take note of how many times I appear in the reviews on their profile, which is a good indicator of how often I have invited them back over the years to take care of my little princess, Ariel.
You wouldn't continue to invite someone back into your home over and over again unless they were doing a stellar job, were trustworthy, and set your mind at ease while traveling and working abroad.
These two are true professionals, true humanitarians, and truly gifted at caring for homes and animals.
-
Once again, what can I say?! These two are always amazing. I wish they could be here full-time!!
-
aolo and Bianca are phenomenal sitters! We can't say enough wonderful things.
Their communication was thorough and consistent, they sent lovely photo updates daily, and they took tremendous care of our home — they cleaned it from top to bottom before we returned. They even made us a mouth-watering homemade Italian dish to welcome us back.
To top it off, they are genuinely such sweet and enjoyable people to be around. We and our kitties already miss them. We feel so lucky to have gotten to know them, and we would be thrilled to have them again in the future. They're the best of the best.
-
Paolo and Bianca are literally in the top 0.0000001% of sitters on this platform in every category! They have consistently proven over and over again throughout the past four years with me — and eight years total on this platform — that they are not only extremely good at house and pet sitting, but they are also an overall value-add to the life of both my pet and me personally.
They're quality over quantity, and that's why they can be trusted with literally anything.
Their level of care for and attention to the animals they look after is unlike anything I've seen on three different pet sitting platforms that I've used over the past 10 years — across two continents and three countries — since adopting my little angel.
If there's any doubt left in anyone's mind about their trustworthiness, skills, credibility, or level of responsibility and commitment, please don't hesitate to contact me directly. I'm happy to gush more.
-
Once again, a perfect sit. Animals, house, and humans all extremely happy!
-
I feel like I'm in some kind of elite club by having access to Paolo and Bianca's sitting calendar, and I'm beyond grateful for the privilege. They are the type of people who will rarely have free time in their calendar because they are so in demand — people who have had the good fortune to work with them go out of their way to schedule them as far in advance as they can.
I know that we as pet parents always think that no one can love our little angels as much or take care of them as well as we can. But when Paolo and Bianca are with my dog Ariel, not only do I never have to worry about her for a single second — I also know that she's getting double the love, attention, and care.
Just as I've said that they can literally take care of Ariel better than I ever could, they also take care of the properties they stay in better than most — or all — homeowners are able to as well. I've literally come back home from trips to find stains that I seriously thought were permanent to be gone, thanks to their magic touch. And I always love when I first come back home after a trip because it's like checking into a pristine room in a five-star hotel.
On a personal level, these two are absolute gems. I will literally fly halfway around the world to visit them, and cannot wait to do so again. And it's not only me — my neighbors and even people who live nearby and know them from passing them in the streets all love them and frequently ask about them after I return.
From all of us here in Granada, both two-legged and four-legged, we can't wait until next time!
-
What an incredible experience. I am so happy and overwhelmed by the care and consideration of Paolo and Bianca. I think it will be impossible to improve the experience in any way.
We are lucky enough to call them friends, and will be sharing our house sitting and other experiences with them in the future. The only downside is our dogs miss them terribly. We might need a FaceTiming session soon! ❤️
-
I wish I could leave more than five stars. Paolo and Bianca are the perfect people to look after your pets.
My three cats clearly loved them to bits and were exceptionally well cared for. Paolo and Bianca also skillfully managed the dynamics in the household, as my youngest boy cat sometimes bullies the oldest girl cat. They took everything in their stride.
The house was beautifully clean and tidy when I arrived home, and Paolo had even cooked a delicious vegan curry!
So I'm giving 10 stars: ✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦
-
We are so fortunate to have found Paolo and Bianca. From the beginning to the end of the sit, we were amazed at how supportive, kind, and responsible they were. We now consider them very much as friends.
The house was immaculately taken care of, with love and respect. Our pets are completely in love with them. They were incredible at making us feel so relaxed being away from home, and we can't recommend them highly enough.
-
Paolo and Bianca are an absolute blessing from the heavens! I have enjoyed having them come stay in my home and with my dog, Ariel, so much that I have invited them back multiple times and now try to coordinate having them come back six, seven, or eight months in advance to get onto their calendar for my next extended work trip. That's just how good they are!
On this latest sit, they stayed in my home a full eight months. When I had to stay in Egypt longer for work, they were always willing to extend their stay if their schedule permitted. I never have to worry about anything back home when they are there, because I know that my home and my dog are getting even better care than when I'm there myself.
They actually leave the place they're staying in better condition than when they arrived. My floors, surfaces, appliances, and fixtures have never been so clean and shiny as they are when I return from a long work trip.
Before my last work trip — the eight-month one — my dog Ariel was having lots of trouble with her hips. Her vet could never find anything specifically wrong with her and saw no improvement after multiple treatment trials. I thought her days of jumping on the bed to give me kisses every morning were over because she couldn't jump, climb, or run anymore.
However, after eight months with Paolo and Bianca, imagine my surprise — and sheer joy — when I returned home to find Ariel once again able to run and chase tennis balls and jump on the bed and couch again. She's back to waking me up every day with morning kisses and chasing sticks and tennis balls all over the park, and it's almost miraculous.
I say almost, because I know that it was truly the result of a lot of hard work and dedication on the part of Paolo and Bianca — taking her out daily for long walks around the city, hiking with her on weekends to help build her strength back up, and giving her access to alternative treatments they suggested from experience helping other dogs with similar problems.
Beyond their skill and expertise with animals, they are also wonderful human beings. Talking to them and spending time with them is an absolute joy. I've learned so much from them over the years, and Ariel has benefited tremendously from all of the love and affection and care they have given her. I quite seriously think that their diligent care has added extra years to her lifespan.
If you're lucky enough to have a sit that works with their schedule, do yourself a huge favor and make it work. They're flexible, they're literally the best of the best, and your pet — and house — will thank you immensely.
-
Bianca — and Paolo, who visited for a day, and is clearly also a cat whisperer — is amazing.
If you are reading this because either she or Paolo have applied, you are lucky. Just press accept. Trust me.
This was next-level sitting. From the start she was friendly and very helpful with suggestions and advice for home owners — I'm relatively new to this. I've never had anyone take such good care of the plants and the house. In my experience most people are pretty good with the cats but sometimes neglect the house and the watering. Well, both my cats loved Bianca, and for the first time ever all the plants were alive when I returned home — and the house was spotless.
I can't thank her — nor recommend her — enough. The perfect balance of keeping me informed that all was well, with a feeling of total confidence that the cats and house were in safe hands.
I am really hoping to entice her and Paolo back for future sits. Seriously, just press accept.
-
Although we didn't get to meet this time, Bianca and I had a great video call before the sit just to say hello and get acquainted. The whole weekend went super smoothly and there were no issues.
The house was lovely, clean, and tidy when we got back, and if the animals could talk they would tell me they had a super time! We communicated throughout the weekend and they sent photos too.
We wouldn't hesitate to have Bianca and Paolo back!
-
Once again, a super cat sit experience! Will always invite Bianca and Paolo back to my place in Málaga — my cat loves them. They are super lovely, friendly, respectful, and communicative. They always leave my place super clean. Thanks! Hope to see you again!
-
Paolo and Bianca were literally among the best pet sitters I have ever had. They are a super sweet couple and huge animal lovers.
Their communication before and during the sit was perfect, and you could tell they really bonded with my cat while I was away. I returned home to a super clean flat, a delicious meal, and a very happy kitty.
I could not have asked for more. Happy to have one or both of them return at any point in the future.
-
Just perfect! And our dog and cats confirmed it too!
We went away for a full year as agreed — yes, 12 full months — and we returned to find our house in perfect condition, our trees, our garden, our pool, and our pets healthy and happy.
During our year travelling around Europe, Bianca and Paolo kept us gently informed, sent us reassuring photos, and dealt with everything else — including tree irrigation, pool maintenance, gardening, some plumbing, and anything else that came up during a full year.
In fact, they did so well that we never worried, we never felt unsure. This is a really professional couple that absolutely merits all the praise they get. Trusted house and pet sitters indeed! Merci.
-
Paolo and Bianca showed themselves to be true professionals when looking after our home and our pets. They are both extremely friendly and made the process very easy for us, as it was our first time booking via TrustedHousesitters. They made sure they had all the information they needed before we left.
Our dogs could not have asked for better company while we were away, and you could tell they all had a great time — as did our chickens, turkeys, and cat, who were clearly all well cared for too.
As I said at the start of the review, they are true professionals, and I won't hesitate to book them again. In fact, I will be seeking them out immediately when I next need a house sitter.
-
Paolo and Bianca cared for our three precious cats while we were away on holiday. They spent close, quality time with them and totally cared for their every need. We received regular photos of them and could tell they were very content and not missing us at all!
When we came home, the cats were very relaxed and happy, so had obviously been really well cared for. The house was spotless, and a lovely dinner with a bottle of wine was waiting for us.
We would recommend Paolo and Bianca without hesitation and really hope they will be able to look after our cats and home again.
-
Bianca and Paolo are professionals when it comes to caring for pets. They've obviously had a lot of experience looking after animals and were easy to deal with. They're such lovely people, and Theo was comfortable with them straight away. He obviously really enjoyed their company and was super relaxed when I got back.
The house was beautifully clean and the plants were better than when I left. Paolo also made us a delicious Italian dinner for when we got back, which was so tasty!
Definitely recommend.
-
We were extremely pleased that Paolo and Bianca were available to house sit for us for a third time. As always, our cat and home were looked after very well and we were completely at ease being away.
They left the place sparkling clean, sent us regular updates, and were as always completely reliable and friendly.
We would highly recommend them as house sitters and would gladly welcome them back for a future sit!
-
When we posted our need for a house sitter, we had 28 applicants in just a matter of hours. And Paolo and Bianca stood out from everybody else. Having enjoyed the incredible level of attention and loving care that Bianca and Paolo gave to our home during our six weeks away, it only confirmed that they are the absolute best of the best — any homeowner would be absolutely insane not to jump at the chance to have Paolo and Bianca house sit.
First, Paolo and Bianca's personality and disposition are so charming and positive that you will immediately feel like your home is being watched by lifelong friends.
Though we have a house full of plants — as opposed to pets — that need care, the attention Paolo and Bianca gave them, including notifying us the moment they noticed any plant not doing well, always gave us the peace of mind that they were attending to everything as well as — no, probably better than — we would ourselves.
Bianca and Paolo are incredibly attentive to detail. For example, they noticed that the new sheets we left them were staining the mattress pad a bit, so they let us know and rewashed the sheets to address the issue. When Paolo noticed a small leak under our kitchen sink, he simply fixed it himself.
When we made initial plans for the house sit, Paolo had promised to cook us an Italian meal for a send-off. But then the airlines changed our outgoing flight time, and this was no longer possible.
So you need to imagine how we felt, arriving back home after a 16-hour flight, to find our home immaculate, smelling fresh, with all of our plants thriving and beautiful, topped off by our kitchen table set, a scrumptious home-cooked Italian meal left for us on the stove, and even a bottle of wine perfectly paired with the meal that Bianca and Paolo had bought and left for us.
It simply doesn't get any better than this.
-
Paolo and Bianca were fantastic pet sitters. My cat Sammy adored them! I was nearly worried he wouldn't want me back after their house sit.
They sent me pictures and were very communicative. Every message was quickly returned. They left the house sparkling clean and even did a bunch of laundry. They also made me dinner for when I returned from my trip, which I am so thankful for considering how exhausted I was from traveling — they saved me from starvation!
I am disappointed I couldn't meet them in person, since our travel dates didn't completely align. They were flexible about this and were okay with meeting my friend upon their arrival.
I hope they come back to Split so I can meet them in person and so Sammy can see them again. Highly recommend!
-
Bianca and Paolo spent three winters in Santorini — they were always our house sitters and pet sitters. They do an amazing job looking after our dogs and cat, and of course they keep the property in great shape.
I cannot recommend them enough. They are such brilliant, trustworthy, and reliable people. If they have availability in their schedule, you should definitely offer them a house sit!
-
I don't have enough words to describe how wonderful and fabulous Bianca and Paolo are! I spent a few days with them before my departure and we had such a great time getting to know each other.
I am sure my dogs will miss them terribly, and they will stay friends with me for a long time. I cannot recommend them enough. Both of them are super easy to get on with, and they kept me up to date on the wellbeing of my precious babies.
Hope to see them soon again. I will rate them a 10!
-
Bianca and Paolo were excellent cat sitters. This smiley and adorable couple arrived and left punctually as planned. From the first day we could see how responsible and experienced sitters they were.
We came back to a pristine and tidy house — smelling like a big Italian family home from all the good food cooked — and with a very happy cat.
We definitely recommend them to everyone!
-
This is the second time Paolo and Bianca took care of our home and cats, and once again everything ran so smoothly while we were away and upon our return.
Impeccable cleanliness, a wonderful caring attitude, professionalism throughout — and now real good friends. We will travel again in the future and we really hope Paolo and Bianca are available to stay at our home. We might even consider making our plans to suit them!
-
Wow — simply amazing house sitting. Bianca and Paolo were extremely responsive. Not only did they take amazing care of our cats, but they also took great care of the house and of us.
They had a very sweet touch as we were coming home late — they cooked a meal for us and left a very good bottle of wine. We had some issues in the house before we left, and Bianca and Paolo figured them out and were proactively asking questions.
Thank you for this great house sit. We highly recommend them!
-
Bianca and Paolo were our house sitters for the second time this winter. They are extremely reliable, organized, and tidy — and such nice and warm people, you always feel like hanging out with them!
Our dogs Klara and Mini and our cat Coco love them. They took care of our place as if it were their own, and we cannot recommend them enough as house sitters.
When we returned from our vacation, Paolo — who is an amazing cook — had a meal with a bottle of wine ready for us, and the house was tidy and warm!
-
Bianca and Paolo were great from the start. Being my first time using TrustedHousesitters, they helped me through everything I needed to do. The cats looked very happy and the house was very clean.
If you have the chance to have Bianca and Paolo come to house sit for you, your pets and home will be in very safe hands.
-
Bianca and Paolo totally surpassed our expectations — they went further. Considering we only had a few hours together prior to our departure, their warmth, understanding, and professionalism shone through, and we left our house — with cats and fish — with big smiles and confidence.
Throughout our trip we were regularly updated with photos and news, which gave us added comfort. When we returned after six weeks, the house was not only spotless, the pets were in tip-top condition, and the garden was flourishing — they also had a meal waiting for us.
Paolo is a man after my own heart — a love of cooking and good wine. He cooked us a fantastic dish and we felt like guests in our own house, which was quite wonderful. Luckily we could spend a further two days together before they departed, and we became good friends and shared further stories and culinary delights.
I would not hesitate to recommend them wholeheartedly, and they are truly ambassadors for this website. I only hope they will return again and live in our tree house and care for Bubble, Squeak, Stewart the cockerel, and the 25 fish who are yet to have names!
-
Bianca and Paolo are awesome! I'm super clean and organized, and they left my place in perfect order — they even washed all the linens they used.
Pocket was relaxed, happy, and obviously well cared for while I was away. I wouldn't hesitate to have these two lovely people care for Pocket and my home again.
-
This was the first time our family had used TrustedHousesitters and we were obviously a little nervous in selecting our house and pet sitters. We had a large apartment, car, garden, and beloved Leo the Pug to be looked after for three weeks, and we wanted to make the right decision. Selecting Bianca and Paolo was the best decision we could have made!
They didn't just look after our apartment, car, garden, and beloved Pug — they really cared about all of it. We never had one moment of concern, not one issue that wasn't dealt with maturely, quickly, and without fuss. Overall, they were with us for one month, staying a further week with us after we returned. Thank goodness they did, as my husband was away, I got sick, and they continued caring for our Leo with walks, feeding, and grooming.
Bianca and Paolo were extremely thorough in making sure they knew exactly what we needed, and based on their experience they helped us with extra details we hadn't thought of. They followed the guidelines exactly and there was not a thing out of place upon our return — and our Pug Leo absolutely adored them.
They dropped us at the airport and picked us up when we returned, giving us regular photo updates of Leo looking really happy and content while we were on holiday. They had the use of our car for errands and in case Leo needed to go to the vet, which did happen when they found a lump on his leg while grooming him. They contacted us right away and took him to the vet to get checked out.
Honestly, Bianca and Paolo are the best and we couldn't praise them any higher.
-
We were so lucky to have Paolo and Bianca take care of our apartment and our cat, Anisa, for a week. They are friendly, responsible, and diligent — and Paolo cooks a mean pasta bolognaise!
They were in touch with us while we were away to let us know everything was fine back home. They asked all the right questions about caring for our cat and what to do in emergencies.
We couldn't have asked for better.
-
Simply the best sort of pet sitters one could hope for! My dogs love this fantastic couple, and they took exceptional and thoughtful care of both my dogs and my home.
They came as pet sitters and became good friends. Not just courteous and trustworthy — these two go above and beyond to take care of everything for you. Thank you!
-
This couple is great. They looked after my house for two months. Some problems were solved quickly, and there was very good communication at all times to give news.
I advise you strongly and without any doubt to trust them to look after your house — all with the smile of Bianca and the good humor of Paolo. I hope to have them again next time.
-
Bianca and Paolo are a wonderful couple with so much kindness, great positive energy, and a huge love for all animals. Our property is a hostel in Santorini and it remains closed during the winter months. Bianca and Paolo made sure everything was in perfect shape — they swept the gardens, trimmed the trees and bushes, and aired all the guest rooms.
The dogs had all the care and pampering they needed, and Bianca and Paolo also reacted really promptly when one of our dogs got injured.
I really can't recommend them enough. You will be so lucky to select them, and you truly cannot go wrong.
-
Paolo and Bianca are absolutely wonderful people. When I decided to go away for the weekend, they instantly replied and happened to be a few blocks from us. So I invited them over to meet my cats and get to know them. You could tell that they loved animals from the moment they walked in the door.
They asked very specific questions and wanted to know every detail to ensure that the sitting experience would make me feel comfortable.
Paolo is from Italy and loves to cook. When we arrived back, we were pleased that they had set the table and cooked us an authentic Italian meal. I really liked Paolo and Bianca — they are sweet, happy, kind, and very responsible. I would recommend them to anyone and would use them again in a heartbeat.
-
I was very happy when Bianca and Paolo were available to look after my house again for around three weeks while I was away. As well as being very friendly and kind people, they kept the house beautifully clean and tidy and treated it with respect.
My cat was relaxed and happy when I came back, showing he had been given lots of attention and care. I would highly recommend Bianca and Paolo for any house sits in the future.
-
Bianca and Paolo looked after our beachside condo on Penang island with our five rescued cats and three stray beach dogs. In one sentence — they exceeded all of our expectations. They truly were the best sitters I could have asked for.
When we first Skyped with them as potential sitters, both Graeme and I felt instantly relaxed and comfortable. They were both so easy to talk to, and we felt a great connection with them straight away.
When they first arrived, I got out my six-page detailed list — and they were empty-handed. However, they had asked for the "manual" a few days before and had memorised everything. I was amazed and totally impressed, and my confidence that we had picked a great couple was growing by the minute.
Away for that long, we had numerous issues — fridges breaking down, tradesmen called, cleaners arranged in a not-primarily-English-speaking country. Bianca and Paolo handled it all.
When one of my cats, who we let outside for short periods, got into a fight with a street cat, I was arranging flights home. Bianca and Paolo hadn't dealt with this kind of thing before — but they got him straight to the vet, twice. They researched giving medications and cleaning wounds, but most importantly gave him so much love, concern, and attention, and devoted so much of their time to his recovery.
With Bianca working from home and Paolo's love of cooking, they were with the animals almost 24/7, keeping to all their routines and schedules. With five cats, there are many! Bianca and Paolo worked great as a team, splitting the morning, lunch, afternoon, and night chores. They kept up with all five cats' individual cleaning and grooming routines better than I do — and together went every day to feed and play with our three stray beach dogs. Dogs who are sadly mistreated and very untrusting of people. After an hour together, all three dogs had accepted them and were totally comfortable.
Bianca and Paolo kept in contact with me almost daily — especially through the recovery period — sending lots of pictures and always being available to chat and keep me up to date.
When we returned, the house was spotless, the numerous plants were healthy and well-kept, and most importantly, our babies looked terrific. We could tell by that first evening all together that each of the five cats was completely comfortable, happy, and trusting of Bianca and Paolo. It was obvious they had all formed very close bonds.
For any home and pet owners who are lucky enough to have these guys apply for your house sit — take them. You will not be disappointed, and your home and pets will be looked after as if you were there yourself.
-
Bianca and Paolo did a fantastic job looking after my cat and house. I warmed to them immediately when we Skyped, and they kept in touch throughout.
My cat was very relaxed when I came back and had obviously been looked after very well. They even cooked a great pasta dish for me and left it in the fridge for me to eat when I got back from a long trip.
I would highly recommend them as pet sitters!
