Dog Sitters in Constantia

Truly wonderful to have James and Jenny to stay. Their care and kindness truly put my mind at ease knowing my pup was in the best hands!!

We met Gaby and Chris the night before we left to go on holiday and found them both to be delightful, and were completely reassured that they would give our elderly dog good care. We received photos and messages giving us regular updates. On our return it was lovely to come home to a clean and tidy house. Our dog, Eddie, is very elderly and can be demanding at times but Gaby and Chris seem to have taken this in their stride. I would not hesitate to ask them again or to recommend them

Judy and Gerry are just lovely. They took great care of Jerry our dog and Figaro our cat. By the looks of it both pets took a great liking to our sitters. While away we received many photos and feedback as to how the pets are doing. The apartment was in perfect shape when we returned home. Moreover they prepared an excellent meal to share together before their departure. Both Gerry and Judy are wonderful and we recommend them without the slightest hesitation.

Moira was a lovely house and pet sitter and we would be delighted for her to come again! Moira was really friendly and reliable, our cat Tiger seemed very happy, it was great to get regular updates. Thank you Moira for everything and we look forward to seeing you again soon!

It was wonderful to have such a lovely lady looking after Puddles. We felt 100% happy leaving him. Mary Anne kept in touch when needed and left our house looking gorgeous and clean. I would highly recommend Mary Anne and we hope that we can one day use here again.

Laura and Steph are fabulous! This was our first experience with Zeewoi and such a great one. Laura and Steph instantly bonded with our over excited lab Fern. The lovely updates about what she was up to while we enjoyed our holiday was a lovely touch and very much appreciated. Our home on return was immaculate. We are so grateful for both these two ladies and can not rate them highly enough. A huge thank you from us to you, our holiday was so much better knowing that Fern and our house were being cared for.

We really got lucky when we accepted Lauren after a relatively short video call. We met her after that (and before the sit started) when she made an effort to overnight our area so we could all get to know one another. She communicated extremely well, was warm yet professional, cared deeply and genuinely about our doggie (and about us!), and was a huge help and resource to a family that came to stay in our other home from overseas. It was their first time in S. Africa, and she did so much to welcome them, help them settle in, trouble shoot things in the home-- as well as in their travels. Lauren spent an additional 2 nights-- the first when we did not make it home on time due to flight cancellation, and the next when we finally got home, but it became too late to be on the road. These were ongoing last minute changes (more than one) and Lauren took it all in stride. Lauren also communicated health concerns to us about our dog, took her to the vet when she had a troublesome wound, and made sure she could comfortable get up and down the stairs with her arthritis. On walks, the stiffness is forgotten, and Lauren kept up so well on free range beach runs. She did not hesitate to take our doggie along to the cafe and to social events, and even got her some luxury birthday treats. We have other sits coming up, arranged before we met Lauren, and I can only hope they go so well. If not, I feel reassured that a back-up might be close by. Huge thanks to Lauren

It was a pleasure having Tessa and Duncan sit for me and Sam. Their communication and responsiveness before the sit was brilliant, and made me feel very at ease that they would look after Sam and the house well. During the sit they sent me regular updates of Sam looking happy and relaxed and well cared for, and the house was immaculate in my return. Thank you Tessa and Duncan, it was a perfect sit.

Clarissa was probably the best dog sitter I’ve had so far! She took great care of olaf and was very reactive when he got sick, taking him to the vet and making the payment on the spot, as I was unable to do so from abroad. She then picked him up the next day after he was hospitalized for the night and continued to take great care of him 😊 throughout her stay, she was very communicative, sending daily photos and videos of their walks, and she left my apartment clean and tidy. I would highly recommend her as a zeewoi 🥰

Beth was lovely, she cared for Bella as if she were her own dog. Bella took to her immediately. Beth and Matthew were communicative and left the house in perfect order. I hope they will come again the next time they are in the UK.

Our pets were so relaxed when we returned home after being away for 10 days. Calvin communicated well on a daily basis and we felt that our house and pets were in good hands. Our 4 cats and 2 elderly dogs can be quite a handful to manage, but it seemed like Calvin managed well. He works from home which was perfect for us. We booked him for another sit shortly after and will highly recommend him to anyone needing a reliable sitter.

I can't recommend Cathleen as a pet sitter after my recent experience. Things started well with good communication, and I felt prepared to leave my home and pets in Cathleen’s care due to our regular communication and video chat. However, there were some issues that came up during the sit. On the morning I left, I had to explain how to lock my self-locking front door, which made me a bit concerned about her comfort level with basic tasks. I also gave a detailed briefing on my pets’ care, including Sophie’s walking schedule and the importance of regularly emptying Teddy’s litter box to avoid any odors. His urine goes outside the pan at times. Cathleen seemed to understand this. I later found out that Sophie wasn’t walked according to the schedule I provided. After reviewing my outdoor camera footage, I noticed that during the last four days of the sit, Sophie was walked 2-3 hours late in the mornings, and some days her afternoon walk was skipped altogether. During the sit, Cathleen told me how my bedroom rug smelled like urine. There were also a few mix-ups with communication while I was away. For example, when I offered to have a friend drop by if she needed to leave early the day the sit ended, Cathleen misunderstood and thought I was telling her she had to stay, which led to a bit of an awkward conversation. I ended up having to clarify things over the phone, which wasn’t ideal while I was on vacation. Cathleen also didn’t wash the linens she used, despite my reminder before I left and the instructions in the welcome guide. When she asked about a change of linens, I reminded her there was an extra set by the bed, but she later mentioned she hadn’t used the top sheet or blanket and didn’t think she needed to wash them. It felt like there was a bit of a misunderstanding about expectations. 4 days after the sit ended, Cathleen sent me a series of messages and photos about the state of the litter box, accusing me of not having cleaned it for weeks. This was surprising, as four different sitters had been in my home before her, all of whom kept the box clean. I cleaned and washed the litter box the night Cathleen arrived. I tried to explain that this was covered in our initial chat. Cathleen continued to send me messages even though I asked her not to. I eventually had to block her number and reach out to zeewoi for help. Overall, this sit didn’t go as smoothly as I’d hoped. While Cathleen seemed pleasant at first, there were a few issues that made me feel uneasy about the experience.
