Gudog alternative in Portugal
Gudog is a European dog-sitting platform active in several countries. Snupi is the Portuguese alternative: smaller, hand-curated and focused on doing one thing well, dog care in Portugal.
Curation over volume
Instead of many profiles, Snupi bets on sitters reviewed one by one, with ID documents and manual approval before they go live.
Transparent pricing for both sides
The sitter sets the price and keeps all of it. The owner sees the service fee clearly at checkout, before paying.
Portuguese rules taken seriously
Portaria 422/2004 breeds blocked at booking, sitter NIFs collected for DAC7 obligations, and terms under Portuguese law.
Snupi Guarantee
A vet-cost reimbursement programme up to 1,500 euros on bookings paid through the platform.
Day cares and hotels too
Beyond private sitters, you will find verified professional day cares and dog hotels in the same place.

Switching is simple
There are no contracts or lock-in on either platform. To try Snupi, just search for a sitter in your area, book a free Meet & Greet and make your first booking. Your dog passport takes two minutes to set up and works for every future booking.
Fair comparison: Gudog has been around longer and has more profiles in Portugal. Snupi is in its pilot phase with a small, hand-picked network, if you want sheer quantity, Gudog may serve you better today.
