Borys had lots of energy today 😊 The walk was calm; he sniffed around and explored the neighbourhood with interest. He did all his business, drank some water and rested after we came back. Everything is fine ❤️

Meet first, then pack your dog’s bag

When choosing a sitter in Jeżyce or Grunwald, look beyond distance. Explain how your dog behaves indoors and ask about stairs and other household members. Bring their usual food, bed and walking routine to help keep familiar habits.

A home, not a kennel

Your pet sleeps in a room, roams the home and greets the sitter in the morning. No cages and no kennels.

One pet

Care with no contact with other animals: your dog doesn't end up in a strange pack. Only your own pets live together.

Its own rhythm and belongings

Feeding, walks and sleep to suit your dog's habits. It comes with its own food, bed and toys.

A person nearby

Not behind a kennel door, but in the same home — you see the home at a free meet-and-greet, before you decide anything.

How the meet-and-greet works

You see the home before booking, not after. The meet-and-greet costs nothing.

Meet-and-greet

Meet the sitter before the stay

Your dog stays in the calm home of a verified Alvis sitter. The exact address, date and written routine determine how the service is organised in Poznań. Availability is confirmed only after a suitable verified sitter accepts the request.

You see the home with your own eyes

Where the dog will sleep, where the bowls are, which way it heads out for a walk. Not a description in messages, but a home you've walked into.

The dog doesn't arrive to a blank slate

The second time it walks into a familiar home and a familiar person — that noticeably lowers the stress of those first hours.

Not a fit — you pick another

The meet-and-greet commits you to nothing and costs nothing. You see the sitter's profile, experience and reviews beforehand, and the decision is always yours.

Arrange a meet-and-greet

Free and no strings attached.

A message from the sitter

Alvis pet sitter
Alvis pet sitter

Bruno stretched out almost sideways across the sofa. Paws up and face relaxed: he seems to have found his favourite spot. Earlier we walked between the trees. He kept stopping beside the path, so I gave him time to sniff without rushing.

Read the full reportCollapse report

At home, I refreshed his water and served his own food as instructed. We are sticking to the food you brought, without extra treats. After his meal he lay down in his spot. I am nearby, so he just looks over occasionally to see what I am doing.

Here are some pictures of Bruno from our outings. The next walk is at the agreed time, and I will gather his belongings before collection so nothing gets left behind. Please confirm whether your arrival time is still the same; then we can plan the last walk and return comfortably.

  • What was completedThe report refers to the tasks and timing agreed in the booking.
  • How the pet behavedAppetite, mood and anything unusual are described in plain language.

How the day goes

A day shaped around your dog’s routine

Your dog stays in the calm home of a verified Alvis sitter. The exact address, date and written routine determine how the service is organised in Poznań. All practical arrangements remain attached to the booking, so the owner and sitter work from the same information.

  1. Morning

    Waking at its usual time

    Waking at the dog's usual time, its own food in its own bowl, fresh water. The first walk — according to the schedule in the plan.

  2. Day

    At home together with the sitter

    Time at home with the sitter, not in a closed-off room: play, calm rest, water always available. On the three-walk plan they head out once more during the day.

  3. Evening

    A walk, dinner, medications

    The second walk, dinner on your schedule, medications if prescribed. Paws get washed after being outside.

  4. Night

    Sleeps on its bed — or in bed with the sitter

    The dog sleeps on its own bed, not in a separate kennel. And if it's used to sleeping in the bed at home, the sitter doesn't mind. A person nearby all night long.

Pet card

One written brief for the whole stay

Your dog stays in the calm home of a verified Alvis sitter. The exact address, date and written routine determine how the service is organised in Poznań. Availability is confirmed only after a suitable verified sitter accepts the request.

The pet card in the client panel

Breed, weight, age, temperament, habits, fears, what's allowed and what isn't. The sitter receives it before boarding begins.

Medications and diet — on schedule

Name, dose, time, its own food and how much. It's part of the booking, not a verbal arrangement.

Once more in person at the meet-and-greet

You show the dosing and make sure you've been understood — before you leave, not over the phone from another country.

Getting ready

What to prepare before drop-off

Your dog stays in the calm home of a verified Alvis sitter. The exact address, date and written routine determine how the service is organised in Poznań. All practical arrangements remain attached to the booking, so the owner and sitter work from the same information.

Food

For the whole boarding period, in its usual form and portions.

Bowls

For food and for water.

A bed or bedding

Its own scent helps it fall asleep the first night.

Leash, harness, muzzle

A muzzle — if your dog needs one.

A favorite toy

And familiar treats.

Medications with a schedule

What, how much and at what time.

The vet passport

And your vet's contact details.

Your contact details

And the phone number of someone reachable when you can't be reached.

You hand all of this over in person at the meet-and-greet or on the day boarding starts — and that's where you go over the details.

An honest comparison

Boarding, in-home care or a dog hotel

Your dog stays in the calm home of a verified Alvis sitter. The exact address, date and written routine determine how the service is organised in Poznań. Availability is confirmed only after a suitable verified sitter accepts the request.

We're not saying a hotel is bad. We're saying home boarding solves a different problem: the dog doesn't have to adjust to an unfamiliar routine and an unfamiliar pack.

How to book

From request to confirmed sitter

Your dog stays in the calm home of a verified Alvis sitter. The exact address, date and written routine determine how the service is organised in Poznań. All practical arrangements remain attached to the booking, so the owner and sitter work from the same information.

  1. Information about your dog

    Dates, breed, temperament and the pet card with medications and routine. Three minutes, no strings attached.

  2. Matching a home and a sitter

    We show you sitters nearby; you choose by profile, experience and reviews.

  3. A preview of the conditions

    You see where the dog will be staying, before you even decide.

  4. A meet-and-greet before the start

    You come to the sitter's home, and the dog gets to know the place. Free and no strings attached.

  5. Routine, feeding, walks

    You agree on the times, the portions of its own food and the number of walks in the plan.

  6. Boarding and reports

    Your pet lives with its own belongings, and you get a photo report twice a day.

Common cases

Care adjusted to the individual dog

Cat

A cat needs no walks

no-walks plan · 69 zł/day

A cat doesn't need walks: a place to stay, feeding, care and reports. The sitter adapts to the cat's temperament — no forcing, giving it space and time to settle in.

Puppy

A puppy not going out yet

no-walks plan · 69 zł/day

A puppy also fits the no-walks plan if it doesn't go outside yet. Feeding on your schedule. You note vaccinations and routine in your request.

Two or more

Several pets together

+50 zł dog · +35 zł cat / day

Pets are taken in together. Walks for additional pets are bought separately. There's no need to split up animals that live together.

How to choose dog care

Your dog stays in the calm home of a verified Alvis sitter. The sitter is matched to your address in Poznań, your dates and the individual routine of your pet.

Why owners choose home boarding

Before booking, you see the scope and current price. For longer care, a meet-and-greet helps confirm the routine, access and emergency contact.

Safety at every stage

Verified sitters, written instructions, regular reports, coordinator support and a replacement plan make the service easier to check and manage.

Flying from Ławica? Leave time for a calm handover

If you drop your dog off before a flight, plan the journeys and allow extra time. You confirm the sitter’s address individually; there is no shared reception. Arrange the introductory meeting earlier so departure day is just for handing over your pet and their things.
