Overnight pet sitting · Saint-Germain-en-Laye
Overnight pet sitting in Saint-Germain-en-Laye: we stay in your home
We are Leisan and Vincent. In Saint-Germain-en-Laye, we look after your animals in the home they already know, and we sleep there every night of the sit. No boarding, no kennel, no stranger dropping in twice a day: your cat keeps their windowsill, your dog keeps their walk, and your home stays lived in.
What Saint-Germain-en-Laye changes
The town centre, Bel-Air, Le Cœur Vert and Les Coteaux: the area is not interchangeable with the rest of the city, and neither is a sit here.
Old houses with walled gardens, mansions split into flats, and family residences. Access usually runs through a gate and then a front door.
Green space nearby: the Saint-Germain state forest, Le Nôtre's Grande Terrasse, the English garden and the castle grounds.
We also cover Le Pecq, Marly-le-Roi and Fourqueux.
Cats in Saint-Germain-en-Laye
A cat's territory is the flat itself. Moving them to a boarding facility means changing every smell, every sound and every route at once, which is exactly what most cats handle worst. Staying put removes that problem entirely.
Walled gardens give a false sense of security, since a low wall is easy to clear. We follow your rules on going out to the letter.
We keep the litter tray, the bowls and the sleeping spots exactly where you left them. We feed at your times, with your food, in your quantities.
Dogs in Saint-Germain-en-Laye
The Saint-Germain forest and the Grande Terrasse give long, flat walks, ideal for an older dog that still needs distance.
Each town sets its own rules for its parks and squares, posted at the entrances. We read them on site on day one, before the first real walk.
We keep your dog's own route and rhythm. If they have a habit of a long morning walk and a short evening one, we do not reverse it because it suits us better.
What we follow every day
We ask for written instructions before you leave: meals and quantities, timings, walks, litter, prescribed medication, plants, bins, post. We follow them as written. If something needs to change, we ask you first.
We usually send photos every day on WhatsApp. Some owners prefer a message every other day, others a summary each evening. Tell us what suits you.
Access, keys and the building
We collect the keys in person, during the meet-up or just before you leave. We write down the door code, the floor, how the lift works, the name on the letterbox and the caretaker's contact when there is one.
We never leave a set of keys in an unsecured box, and we never hand your home to a third party. There are two of us: Leisan and Vincent. Nobody else comes in without your agreement.
If something goes wrong
We are not vets. We observe, we tell you immediately, and we call the vet you have chosen. The decision stays yours.
Across more than fifty sits, three needed a vet visit: a dog with a hot spot, a cat who stopped using the litter tray, and a check-up after an operation that took place before the sit.
Before you leave we note your usual vet's name and address. For nights and public holidays, the Paris region has round-the-clock options such as Centre Hospitalier Vétérinaire Frégis, VetinParis and home-visit services. We check the current details at the time of the sit rather than rely on an old list.
