Pet Sitters in Edenvale

Barbara

Barbara and Andrew were fantastic house sitters. Communication from the beginning was easy and all plans that were made were adhered to. We spent a very happy evening with them before our trip and we knew that we had left both the animals and house in very good hands. They loved taking Wiggins for walks, exploring the local area, and they were intrigued by Totty the Tortoise. They had never looked after a tortoise before but embraced the challenge! The house was left in an immaculate state, the garden was well tended to and a delicious supper was waiting for us on our return. Not only that, but there were flowers around the house and a clean car in the drive. You would be lucky to have Barbara and Andrew as your house sitters and we highly recommend them. We wouldn't hesitate to use them again in the future.

Natasha & Martina

Natasha (Bianca's sister) and Martina were AMAZING! This is the first time I have had a dog sitter and I was a little apprehensive. However, Natasha sent almost daily photos and videos of our precious bundle, which we really appreciated. Rigby received LOTS of playing and walks, they have a genuine love of dogs. I know Rigby will miss them. In addition, they were excellent at sorting out house issues. They were very calm and efficient at arranging repairs when our washing machine and electric gate decided to break down! After a review, I would normally say, I wouldn't hesitate to use their services again "... however, I am going to pre-book them for next summer! We were very grateful for their high level of professionalism and kindness. Lovely people. Thank you!

Jackqueline

Jackqueline, was an absolute star and did more than was expected. Highly recommended.

Sandra & Brett

Sandra and Brett were excellent sitters. Communication before, during and after the sit have all been excellent. The house was clean and tidy on our return and Tyler our dog, had obviously been very well cared after. I would recommend Sandra and Brett 100%.

Nolly

I had several enquiries, but I had a video call with Nolly and immediately realised that here was a Professional woman, who has her own home and who is a responsible woman. Well, I hit the jackpot with Nolly! She was Amazing! She is a beautiful person. I was away for a month in Europe and e everyone who met her in Plett and all my neighbour's took to her and spoke highly of her, on my return. She insisted on getting a Char in to clean while I was away and paid for the Char. My house was immaculate and spotless on my return and Nolly had even left a bread for me and some Biscotti's. She kept in contact with me and when my dogs wouldn't eat, she went and bought some Mince from Woolies and cooked them some Mince. What can I say, She is the Most Professional, .most Amazing woman and Best Pet/House sitter that I have Ever had and I have had many! The next time I go away, she will be the First person that I will contact Before I even consider anyone else! Hopefully she will say Yes and arrive in her beautiful Mercedes, which just fitted into my garage! Thanks Nolly! You have so much Integrity and I loved having you and YaYa look after Fendi and Gucci!

Henriette & Dennis

We cannot recommend Henriette and Dennis highly enough. Everything from A to Z was perfect including lifts to and from the airport with an amazing meal prepared by these two well travelled, intelligent and delightful “foodies”. The house was spotless on our return and Tsala (pet) was obviously well looked after , exercised and completely content. As the review shows 5 star in every aspect. Thanks guys and looking forward to seeing our new friends again.

Adre & Branko

Branko was looking after the animals and the house while we were away. He was excellent at sending kind photos and videos of the animals throughout our time away. Nothing was too much trouble and our staff who were on site for some of the time enjoyed having him around. Branko had to cope with some pretty difficult situations regarding our new alarm system which was playing up and some inclement weather that brought in some big storms and brought down power cables. Unexpected power outages on top of loadshedding in South Africa are an added trial to content with. We were able to go away and not worry about anything really and it was so gratefully appreciated.

Jill

Jill was a very lovely person she looked after Harley very well ….taking him out on very long walks. Many thanks for all that you did.

Mikolaj

I enjoyed caring for playful Floki for a week 14-21 September 
We enjoyed several walks , Floki on the harness lead, in local beautiful Troopers Hill and Avon river areas. 
Thank you Stacey and Mik for sharing your beautiful flat with me. I’d love to return one day when needed. 
Communication about the house sit was excellent. It was good to indulge In Netflix movie entertainment!

Joanne

I miss Milo already. Perfect behaved gentleman with the patience and sleep schedule of your favorite Grandpa. Slept soundly next to to the desk with a few snores, letting me get work done. Yet he still got the zoomies, enjoyed accompanying me to the beach and had quite the pep in his step. (Even a couple neighbors commented in his little trot). I wanted to keep him!!

Joanne and Chris were great. Easy and thoughtful, and provided more than everything I needed. Communication was always easy, quick, detailed and clear. Thank you! I would be more than happy to sit in the future.

Their place was noticeably quiet, even though its in a great spot to see the best of Santa Barbara. The clean, well stocked, and light filled environment made it great to get work done.

Michèle & Brian

How do I even begin as I'm writing this and missing sweet Fiona. Caring for her over the holidays was such a heart warming experience. The moment I walked into the house she greeted me as if we had known each other long ago and after that she rarely ever left me side. Michelle and Brian made everything so easy and their home was absolutely beautiful, spacious and comfortable. Fiona is a sweet girl that loves her walks and goes crazy over her stuffed whale toy and rubber ball. She's honestly the most well behaved dog I've ever met and I can't wait for the opportunity to see her again in the future.
