Reviews

What pet owners say

Real reviews from real pet owners across Costa del Sol.

★★★★★
"Left our two Labs with María for ten days over Christmas. The daily photos made our holiday so much more relaxing. We knew they were in a proper home, not a cage."

"My cat Oliver hates catteries. James visited him twice a day at home and sent videos each time. Oliver didn't even sulk when I came back — that's high praise."

FAQ

Common questions

Yes. Every sitter on PawStay undergoes a personal interview, reference checks and a background check before being approved. All bookings are covered by our comprehensive pet care insurance. Sitters also complete an animal first aid course as part of onboarding.

Absolutely — we encourage it. Once you submit a booking request, we'll arrange a free meet-and-greet at your sitter's home so your pet can explore the space and you can ask any questions. Only once you're happy do you confirm and pay.

Sitters are trained to handle common pet emergencies and we partner with local veterinary clinics across Costa del Sol for rapid response. You'll always be contacted immediately, and our insurance covers emergency vet visits. You can also reach our team 7 days a week.

We currently have sitters across Marbella (including Puerto Banús and Golden Mile), Nueva Andalucía, Benahavís, Estepona and Mijas. We're expanding rapidly — if your area isn't covered yet, join our waitlist and we'll notify you when a sitter is available near you.

We care for dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, guinea pigs and other small animals. For exotic animals or pets with complex medical needs, please contact us directly so we can match you with a sitter with specialist experience.

Payment is made securely online when you confirm a booking. We accept all major credit/debit cards and bank transfer. The sitter is only paid after the service is completed, so you're protected at every step. Cancellations up to 48 hours before the stay are fully refunded.
