Why Easter is a quiet but tight market
The Greek Orthodox Easter (Πάσχα) is celebrated more than any other holiday. Holy Thursday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday, Easter Sunday, and Easter Monday all carry their own traditions. Most owners drive back to the village or fly to a relative's home. Sitters who stay in the cities are in short supply.
Spit-roast lamb safety for dogs
Easter Sunday is the day of the lamb roast. Dogs around tsoureki, koulourakia, and roast lamb need supervision: cooked bones splinter, raisins and walnuts are toxic, and an unattended bowl of red eggs becomes a chew toy. Make sure your sitter knows what to watch out for.
Booking timeline
Three months before Easter: identify the dates (Easter Sunday moves). Six weeks before: open dates in the app, message sitters. Four weeks before: confirm. The week before: drop off the key and the routine notes. Last-minute bookings exist but availability narrows fast.
Vet on-call windows
Most Athens and Thessaloniki vet clinics close from Holy Friday afternoon through Easter Monday morning. Emergency clinics stay open. Petme support routes urgent cases 24/7 and every booking includes €20,000 in vet expenses.
