Where Salty Paws fits
Salty Paws is built for small-group in-home dog care in Ericeira. We are a strong fit when you want a real home setting, a maximum of three dogs, a 24h assessment before ongoing care, daily walks, and photo or video updates. We are not the right fit for every pet: cats, very large groups, some training cases, or dogs who need a kennel-style setup may need a different provider.
Start with the type of care: home boarding, daycare, dog walks, cat visits, training support, or kennel boarding.
Ask for the same basics from every provider: exact price, dates, location, who is responsible, update rhythm, vaccine rules, and emergency process.
Do a meet-and-greet or trial before a longer booking, especially for anxious dogs, puppies, seniors, reactive dogs, and overnight care.

FAQ
Pet sitter comparison FAQs
Who is the best pet sitter in Ericeira?
There is no single best sitter for every pet. Compare the care environment, group size, experience, communication, references, emergency plan, and fit for your pet's temperament.
Should I choose a pet sitter, kennel, or trainer?
Choose a direct sitter for personal home-style care, a kennel for facility-style boarding, and a trainer when behaviour support is the main need.
What should I ask before booking pet sitting in Ericeira?
Ask about current availability, exact service area, pricing, insurance, references, where your pet stays, update schedule, emergency responsibility, and written care instructions.
