I've got two pups, both a handful at just over a year old—think half bulldog, half Great Dane—and training them has been quite the challenge. They're more into each other than anyone else, leaving me feeling like an extra in my own home. But with Fabiana from DogGoddess Petsitting, I finally feel at ease, even if I have to travel for extended periods. Her approach is simple yet effective; she genuinely gets my dogs and they absolutely love her. Sometimes she even takes them for walks just for fun! Though her services are on the pricier side, it's money well spent because the care she provides is relentless and round-the-clock. Having had dogs all my life and always making sure they're well-trained, I can say that Fabiana's work is exceptional—they're ecstatic every time she shows up!

I've used Marcel from Cat Nanny Lisboa three or four times now to look after my cats while I travel. I really love the service he provides. Marcel is always on time and keeps me updated with pictures and messages, which gives me great peace of mind. He's trustworthy and does a fantastic job caring for my pets. I definitely recommend him to anyone needing a reliable pet sitter.

When it comes to feline care, Marcel from Cat Nanny Lisboa is truly a standout. He exceeded all my expectations with his attentive and detailed approach. Before the official bookings, he invested time in understanding my cat's behavior and preferences, which gave me great peace of mind. During his visits, Marcel was thorough, providing constant updates through a WhatsApp group, complete with photos and videos, so that I am always aware of what is happening. He also went above and beyond by also taking care of other small tasks like watering plants. His kindness was evident when he left a thoughtful note and Easter chocolate. Marcel offers exceptional value, blending professionalism with warmth, making him an ideal choice for any pet owner.

I've been using Fabiana from DogGoddess Petsitting for my old Labrador, and I couldn't be happier. My dog absolutely loves her, which says a lot. Fabiana is diligent about providing daily updates, which really puts my mind at ease when I'm away in the US. She's also incredibly conscientious, always making sure she knows every detail to keep my pup happy and healthy. It's a great comfort knowing that not only is my dog well-cared for but also that my home is in good hands while I'm gone. Highly recommend her services to any pet owner!

I recently used Marcel from Cat Nanny Lisboa for pet-sitting while I was traveling. Initially, I was unsure whether to hire someone or use an automatic feeder, as my cat loves attention and gets distressed without contact. It took me a couple of days to decide, but I'm glad I chose Marcel. Every day, he sent pictures and videos and kept me updated on how things were going. When one of my cat's toys broke, he informed us immediately and was very communicative throughout the process, he even tried to buy the same one. His pricing is great, I usually am gone for trips lasting five to nine days. He was very open and flexible in making things work for us with his time.

Marcel from Cat Nanny Lisboa has been taking care of my cat, Atena, since September. He is very attentive and always sends lots of photos and videos. When he started, he sent a document for me to fill out habits and any medications Atena needs. Marcel handles everything from litter boxes to watering plants, and he plays with her favorite toys too. Recently, I had an urgent situation, and he was available to help right away. He’s easy to reach through WhatsApp whenever I need him! I will definitely keep using his services because I trust him a lot!

Why we created Locallista?
As expats, we understand how overwhelming it can be to settle into a new city, where even simple tasks become difficult without a network, complicated by language barriers and cultural differences. That’s why we created Locallista — a closed platform where expats connect with trusted service providers recommended by the community, ensuring clear communication in English or their native languages, making life easier.
