Pet Sitters in Durbanville

Kelly & Chad

Kelly took great care of our home and dogs! She sent us plenty of pictures and we were comfortable knowing she was caring for them! Planning/logistics were easy with her and would be happy to have her back again :)

Kay

Kay took excellent care of our cat and home while we were away for 6 weeks. We came home to a neat and tidy house and happy cat. Kay fed our cat, cleaned the litter box, watered the plants, took out trash/recycling, brought in the mail, and everything else needed to keep the house running. Kay was very communicative and kept us updated on the cat and other things around the house. I highly recommend Kay as a house sitter!

Mark

Mark was an exceptional house sitter! He took great care of our home and looked after our dogs with love, all the updates were really apprecaited. Communication was easy, and we returned to a clean house and happy pets. Highly recommend!

Moira

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!

Jennifer

Thank you Jenn for all the care and love you gave to the animals. Your thoughtful attention to detail was really appreciated. And what a pleasure to get home to a spotless home.

Craig Brown

Craig took excellent care of our home and dogs for almost a month. We felt completely at ease to enjoy our holiday as our dogs had an immediate affinity to both Craig and Adele. We received regular updates and it was clear our dogs were well loved. Craig is extremely efficient and organised and goes above and beyond including doing thoughtful added things that I didn’t even think to ask like making sure my vehicle’s battery was charged every now and then. I would highly recommend Craig to care for your home and pets.

Andrew

Ann & Andy were simply fantastic. Our cats were clearly not only well cared for but genuinely very happy and content in their company. They were excellent in all respects and we are so very grateful to them!

Ryan & Julia

Ryan & Julia were brilliant guardians Kind & Caring Perfect house guests Your pet will be lucky to have their care!

Lauren

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

Sonia

Sonia did an excellent job while looking after our house and pets! We used her as a house sitter numerous times before, this was the first sit through zeewoi. She is very reliable, organized and friendly. We hope to have her back soon.

Beth & Matthew

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.

Neo

Neo was really wonderful with my pets and I so appreciate that. Both my dog and my two cats really took to her and felt comfortable and safe with her. I appreciate all Neo's help when my house unexpectedly flooded in a rain storm. I also appreciate Neo's honesty and directness - it makes for much easier communication. I wish her all the best on her travels.

Clara

Megan was a fabulous pet and house sitter for us. She was responsive, asked great questions, and was very organized. She shared regular updates with us, and took great care of our dog Coco and our home. Everything looked perfect when we arrived back. We'd love to have Megan sit for us again.

Millie

Millie was welcoming and easy to communicate with from the start.  Bear and Mouse are a total joy of a duo to sit for.  So nice to be back in Bighton/Hove, in a lovely home so close to the sea.  Highly recommended

George & Linda

A wonderful house and setting in the superb setting of a secluded wooded Welsh valley .The house is easy to look after and our room was magnificent.
 We could not have wished for a better reception from Linda and George, enjoying their marvellous hospitality and friendship before they left the next morning .Perfect hosts.
Willow was a joy to look after, so friendly and obedient,and enjoying her walks and trips in our car to the seaside 
We fell in love with George,Linda and Willow and the area and would love to enjoy  sitting again

Manasi

Lovely week with the cute girl cats. Their owner Manasi, a real Londoner is so kind and very communicative, everything was clearly listed and easy to find. 

The kitties were a bit shy in the beginning as they are rescue cats, but started cuddling up to me on the 2nd day already. 

I loved my cozy nights with Frankie on my lap. Very easy going sit and just one wet feeding needed late at night. Its a perfect location to be quickly in central London, great transport links from Denmark Hill and Camberwell High st has some of the best restaurants in the area! Loved the Nandine Persion for a different taste btw! 
Wonderful sit and I'd love to come back any time to take care of  Frankie & Kite whenever I'm back in England :) 

Big love, Rebecca
