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.

No cagesthe sitter's home instead of a kennel
One petcare with no other animals around
Warsaw
The sitter’s Warsaw address is only the starting point
Travel, home conditions and time for an introduction matter too. Check them before leaving, even when the sitter lives in a neighbouring district.
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
Visit the boarding home before packing
Arrange a meeting at the chosen sitter’s home. Look at building access, the resting area and your dog’s reaction to the surroundings before making a decision.
Arrange a meet-and-greet
Free and no strings attached.

Alvis pet sitterReport from Luka’s stay
- Reassurance through real detailsFind out whether your pet ate, rested and wanted company. You do not have to guess how they are coping while you are away.
- Photos that bring their day closerSee a familiar expression, play and rest. Photos come with a written update and, for a walk, a GPS record too.
- Important details before you askYour sitter describes behaviour and any changes they notice. You have something concrete to discuss if your pet needs extra attention.
How the day goes
Agree on a daily routine before leaving
Set out meals, walks and rest. If the stay includes working days, also ask when the sitter leaves home and how long your dog would be alone.
- 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.
- 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.
The first photo report
- Evening
A walk, dinner, medications
The second walk, dinner on your schedule, medications if prescribed. Paws get washed after being outside.
- 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.
The evening report closes the day
Pet card
One set of instructions instead of scattered messages
Record food portions, walking equipment, reactions to triggers and an emergency contact in your pet’s instructions. Update them before another stay if health or behaviour has changed.
Getting ready
Leave time for a calm handover
Pack food for the agreed period, a properly fitted lead or harness and necessary supplies. Allow time to review instructions and arrange collection when you return to Warsaw.
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
Compare the setting and hours of company
First consider whether your pet can move to a new environment. Then check overnight arrangements, other animals and the sitter’s hours at home, beyond the package name.
| Pet hotel | Friends or family | Alvis sitter | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Where the pet lives | A kennel, often with other animals | In an unfamiliar home, however it works out | In the sitter's home, an ordinary home |
| Other animals around | Usually yes | Hit or miss | No: care with no contact with others |
| Reports | On request or not at all | Whenever they remember | Twice a day, with photos |
| If the person can't | — | Your problem, and you've already flown off | We match a replacement |
| Health and the vet | By the hotel's rules | Your problem | Vet costs covered up to 1000 zł |
| What you pay with | Money | A favor and a sense of owing | Money, and that's the end of it |
| Who's accountable | The hotel | No one | A registered company |
| Price per day | On average 100–160 zł, more in summer | Free, technically | From 69 zł |
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.

Trusted by owners
The trust of thousands of happy
owners and their pets
Already after the first day, once we got the reports, I knew Maru was having a great time and going on wonderful walks. You can leave for holidays or a business trip with complete peace of mind.
Zenek’s regular caregivers are simply wonderful and irreplaceable. The reports always arrive at the agreed time — punctually, with photos of a smiling Zenek. We really value that.
We have used Alvis for two years now. I like that it is safe — when we book a date and it is confirmed, we can count on care for our dog. That was not always the case elsewhere.
A client can truly feel calm about their pet. I recommend Alvis to future clients — it is a company you can trust when it comes to caring for animals.
I know it is not easy to hand your pet over to someone. But after long research, watching the profile and reading other clients’ reviews, I decided — and honestly, it was a bullseye.
How to book
Plan care around your Warsaw address
Provide dates, your district and your pet’s needs. An exact address helps assess travel; selecting Warsaw alone does not confirm availability.
Information about your dog
Dates, breed, temperament and the pet card with medications and routine. Three minutes, no strings attached.
Matching a home and a sitter
We show you sitters nearby; you choose by profile, experience and reviews.
A preview of the conditions
You see where the dog will be staying, before you even decide.
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.
Routine, feeding, walks
You agree on the times, the portions of its own food and the number of walks in the plan.
Boarding and reports
Your pet lives with its own belongings, and you get a photo report twice a day.
Find your sitter
Cancel 3 days ahead or earlier — full refund. A question before booking — message the coordinator.
Common cases
Explain what affects your pet’s routine
Cat
A cat needs no walks
no-walks plan · 69 zł/dayA 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/dayA 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 / dayPets are taken in together. Walks for additional pets are bought separately. There's no need to split up animals that live together.
A weekend, a business trip or a longer holiday
Specify collection and arrival times as well as the number of nights. For an early departure, handing your dog over the previous day may be easier, but that extra time needs a separate agreement.
Mokotów or Wola? Start with the right conditions
A nearby address helps with logistics but does not replace discussing other animals, rest and time alone. Mention if your dog cannot use stairs or needs a quiet building entrance.
After your trip, you need more than a photo
Updates help you follow appetite, walks and adjustment throughout the stay. At collection, ask about behaviour changes and check that all belongings and documents have been returned.

Luka settled into the new place wonderfully! He confidently came over for strokes from the start and gently reminded me with his paw whenever I stopped. When my boyfriend arrived, Luka greeted him at the door and soon decided he was another welcome companion. 😊
