The Akrotiri archaeological exhibition, the Nea Kameni volcano boat, the wine-tasting rooms, and the high-summer Fira lunch all sometimes require leaving your dog. Pawshake operates with a small but real Santorini network, the SAWA referral list provides locally vetted sitters, and a few inland village hotels in Pyrgos and Megalochori arrange in-room sits with their housekeeping staff for guests.
International platform with ~4 verified sitters in the Fira-Karterados-Pyrgos belt. Drop-in visits, daycare, overnight boarding. Insurance included, reviewed sitters, useful for an Akrotiri or Nea Kameni day.
💡 Santorini has fewer sitters than Corfu or Chania, book at least 2 weeks ahead in summer; most sitters are bilingual EL/EN thanks to the tourism economy.
The Santorini Animal Welfare Association maintains an informal referral list of trusted local sitters and dog-walkers, mostly volunteers and SAWA-affiliated locals. Lower prices than Pawshake, more local, supports the stray rescue programme.
💡 Email through sawasantorini.com to request a sitter, they know who is reliable on the island. A donation to support the stray programme is the polite way to thank.
