Absolute Horror

It took me a while to write this review, as I was too emotional to put my feelings into words. What I feel isn’t anger—at least not entirely—but deep sadness and regret for being too trusting and naïve.
Due to personal circumstances, I had to find a temporary home for our beloved cat. I didn’t want to send her to a shelter, so I searched for a family where she would be surrounded by love, care, and attention. While this option was more expensive, it gave me peace of mind knowing she would be in good hands.
In the beginning I had the feeling all went well and the family took care of her as they should.
Unfortunately, what followed was nothing short of heartbreaking. Months passed before I could bring my cat back home, and I counted the days until we were reunited. But when I finally saw her again, I was in complete shock. She was unrecognizable—alarmingly thin, with matted fur, tangles, and bald patches on her tail. She had lost more than half her body weight.
Throughout those months, I had repeatedly asked for photos to check on her well-being. The caretaker only sent one photo a month, along with excuses that her weight loss was due to not giving her treats. I was concerned but never imagined the true extent of her suffering.
When I took her to the vet, the severity of her condition became horrifyingly clear. My cat had accumulated so much fluid in her body that her organs couldn’t even be seen on the X-ray. She was struggling to breathe. The vet had to extract 2.4 liters of fluid from her chest and abdomen using long needles. For the first time in months, she could breathe again—but the procedure revealed just how frail and close to death she was. We ended up paying over 4,000 AED for her treatment.
Now, she’s finally home, and we’re doing everything in our power—with the right medication, care, and endless love—to help her recover. I hope and pray she will be with us for a long time yet.
I wouldn’t wish this experience on anyone. It’s truly heartbreaking, and I hope no other pet has to endure what my cat went through. Please, if you are ever in a similar situation, be extra cautious and vigilant about the person or family you entrust with your beloved pet.

If pet parents had to keep one app on their phone, Petbacker would be it!

Petbacker is the best pet sitter app that connects pet parents with the reliable pet care takers nearby.
This app truly becomes a mandatory when you want to take a vacation and have to leave your pets to someone reliable.
You can have multiple options like pet boarding, sitting at home, daycare, dog walks and even pet taxi.
You can have conversations directly with the service providers, once you feel comfortable, you can book instantly and the payment is secured till the job well done (without any dispute).
Petbacker has strict rules for the safety of pets and to build trust within the pet lovers community, so chances of positive experiences are high.
Thank you for letting us have peace of mind while we are away from our pets!

1st time user

1st time using these guys, along with their provided app, and so far, am liking these guys a lot. The interface is pretty simple and straightforward, payment is easy and secure, and bookings are hassle free and rather flexible. Something came up (on my part) that I had to move the dates, and customer support was pretty prompt to address and resolve the matter. Definitely going for these guys again come next holiday!

Up to now Petbacker has not solved my issue. They did not even tried to negotiate, they keep asking to wait. My dog bite on the sitter’s furniture, we already offered to pay directly with the sitter but we want at least the non used amount back.

What a waste of time

What a waste of time.
Literally no one replies as look like fake accounts. How can you have 5 reviews yet all the reviews were left on the same day? It seem’s to happen alot.
Customer service just tell you to wait, then send a link of other boarders yet one was in glasgow i’m south east!
Page looks fake, either fake profiles or old profiles that are dormant but they won’t delete them to make it look like a big community.
Told customer service to delete all my information, which legally they have to and they just reply telling me to try do another search for a sitter.

Not worth wasting your time on, looks like they delete negative comments on instagram also, whole things fake
