Pares is an experienced and quality sitter and we knew our cat Juniper (and a few plants) was well cared for. We received regular updates and photos which was really nice to have during our travels. While we missed Juniper, we could see that she enjoyed receiving cuddles and attention from Pares. Upon returning home, our flat was clean and tidy, and Juniper was very happy! Thank you for taking care of her!

. We were absolutely delighted with the care Summer provided for our cats. Without a doubt, she is the best cat sitter we have ever had the pleasure of working with. Her attentiveness and genuine affection for our cats were evident in every interaction. Throughout our holidays, she kept us constantly updated with daily pictures and detailed updates, which gave us immense peace of mind. Additionally, she maintained our house in immaculate condition, keeping everything clean and tidy. This level of consideration and dedication went above and beyond our expectations, and we deeply appreciated her efforts. Summer’s exceptional service made our holiday experience truly worry-free and enjoyable.

Stefany helped me out big time by stepping in when I asked. She's a local sitter and I wasnt' having any responses so I contacted her and she fit me into her schedule even during the holidays and right after another sit across the country. She took great care of my two cats and home and I very much appreciate it!

Sabre is a sweet, honest person who stepped up at the very last moment (after the prior sitter flaked out) to watch our dog and cat for 17 days. When there were a couple minor accidents, she informed us of them right away. One involved a burnt pan (easy to do if you’re not familiar with an induction stovetop) which she offered to replace. Sabre also washed the towels and sheets, and made up the bed before we got home. The yard was pooper scooped and litter box was clean. Pets seemed well-cared for. When she had to leave town for several hours one day, she made sure to arrange for our neighbor take care of the pets. Additionally, I appreciated how she didn’t assume that it would be ok to bring her cat. When we found out she was going to keep her cat in a kennel during her stay here, we told her she could bring him which worked out fine. Overall, I would confidently recommend Sabre to watch your pets and house.

Wow, what a find Justin is! I feel as though I won a lottery. As I was revelling in the communication we were having during his stay, I looked over his profile and realized either that he had updated it during his stay OR I never even read it. I was so impressed with his initial application that described multiple stays taking care of cats in Turkey that I knew he was going to be a great choice. So I'm not sure that I even read his profile or reviews. Turned out...he was more than I could have EVER hoped for. Justin is VERY organized and clear with his communication. Just as--or maybe more--important, he is a poster child for what zeewoi can be: more than just an economical way to get a pet sitter or a place to stay. Justin embraces the barter economy and the opportunity it presents to get to know people. Although we only met the day that I turned the house and my 2 cats over to his care, we had delightful communication throughout his stay. He wanted to be sure he was providing the right care to all living and non-living elements of my home as well as just chat beyond what we'd had an opportunity to cover when we were face to face on the handoff day. Bottom line: I'd have Justin back even if I wasn't going anywhere! I've met a friend. And my neighbors did as well! Oh yes, and my two cats were well looked after, the house was in ship shape, and Justin was able to brief the next sitter in person (I'd had to extend my time away and Justin already had another commitment). To say I felt confident leaving my pets and home in Justin's care is an understatement. Justin is a real adventurer and believer in the power of both human and animal connection. Without a doubt, I would recommend him as a sitter...and a friend! Thank you, Justin for a great example of how to wrestle so much more meaning out of zeewoi.

Ruthee was a fabulous pet sitter for our three cats while we were gone for a month. Prior to the sit, she was consistent and communicative; she even came over early for a meet and greet to learn the routine. During the sit, she took great care of our three cats by playing with them (she made a fun cat toy!), scooping litter, feeding and watering them, and sent us text updates and pictures. We came home to happy fur babies and a clean home. She left the place very tidy which was greatly appreciated! We are so thankful for Ruthee and would recommend her should the opportunity arise. Your fur babies would be lucky to spend time with her. Thank you again for everything, Ruthee!

If Macie and Roman ever apply to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the. offer. You will not be disappointed. They are among the top (if not the top) sitter I've ever had and I've been on this site for years. Primarily, they are very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Macie and Roman kept me abreast of their plans and status. I felt very comfortable in the days leading up to the sit because I knew the plan we made to exchange the keys and walk them through the instructions would work as planned. Second, Macie and Roman really care. When they got to my apartment after a very long morning of traveling, I explained the care instructions and they were very attentive and cared about the details - asking very specific questions on how to care for my cat and apartment. I had some pretty specific rules about how to feed my cat and take care of him and Macie and Roman followed those exactly. Third, Macie and Roman make you feel comfortable while you are away. I got daily or twice daily updates about my cat. I got pictures which made me feel like my cat was having a good time. My cat came out of hiding very quickly and was snuggling with them and letting them hold him. It was so nice to see the pictures of them all bonding! Macie and Roman have a calming energy towards animals for sure! Macie and Roman were also very responsive when I reached out first - replying within 30 minutes. I really appreciated that. Fourth, Roman and Macie will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. The towels were washed. The apartment had been vacuumed. The kitchen was clean. The dishwasher had been run. Everything was in its place when I returned. Honestly, cleaner than when I left it which is difficult since I am a very clean person. Macie and Roman also respects your property. We had a room we asked them not to enter and they respected that. In short, Macie and Roman are amazing. I would have them back in a heartbeat. If you have any questions I would be happy to answer them. Ask Macie and Roman for my number.

Heidi was an outstanding cat sitter for my Luna! She was very communicable via calls or texts. She followed all my guidelines for feeding and care of Luna. Luna was very content when I arrived home thanks to Heidi! My home was immaculate when I arrived and she did some snow shoveling. She even pulled a large broken tree branch off my roof following a windstorm. I hope Heidi is available for my next trip because she is awesome. Jim

Greetings Pet People, I am a bit late leaving my review for Kristine who is local to us and has taken care of our kitties Max and Luis a few times this year. After COVID-19 was announced in March, our travel plans came to an abrupt halt. We had to cancel a lot of trips we had planned but decided that it was safe to go camping a couple of times this summer. We called on Kristine as one of our favorite sitters on this site. We discussed safety protocols and agreed to cleaning that we would do to leave the house safe for her to enter. She shared protocols that she had taken with other homeowners and had sound processes to make us feel safe leaving our cats and our home in her care. She even purchased batteries for our automatic cat feeder when it failed to let one of our confused kitties to eat. Kristine is a smart, humorous and a thoughtful person. I would not hesitate to recommend her for your sit. She truly loves animals and taking care of your home. Highly recommended! Thanks Kristine!

I whole-heartedly recommend Carly and her partner Fanny to sit for you! They were fabulous and reliable house sitters from start to finish. Carly was timely and thoughtful in all of her communications and let us know the state of affairs in our apartment with our cat and plant babies while we were away. They followed our directions to a 'T.' We came home to find a happy cat, thriving plants, a spotless apartment and laundered linens. We would definitely consider contacting them again to house sit for us!

I would recommend Purrgrove with confidence. Lindie takes so much care with her cat guests. Keeps an eagle key on the cats and picked up a health issue with my Sadie straight away, and took her to the vet after checking with me. Daily updates and photos were appreciated. Lindie keeps communicating and is professional. The catery is well equipped, spacious, has lots of areas/levels for the cats to choose from, and the cats get lots of attention. I will definitely book with Purrgrove again.
Storm & Spunky had a wonderful stay at Purrgrove Cattery. It was Spunky's first stay away from home - he was so calm and relaxed when I came back. It is spacious and very clean units with look-out spots to satisfy every cat's curiosity. Lindie spent a lot of time cuddling and playing with them. She provides good daily feedback to let any cat parent feel assured that their fur children is content and well taken care of. Storm & Spunky will definitely be regulars at Purrgrove Cattery!!!
Such an amazing place to leave your furbabies when going away! Our little one got so much love and attention. She really felt at home. We could tell she was super happy and relaxed at Purrgrove 🐱💖 and we got daily updates with lots of pictures of our little girl. The cattery is not crowded, and all cats get their own space. It was super clean and spotless and all kitties where happy to be there. So we will definitely be back
Biscuit never missed home being at Purrgrove Cattery, He gets all the love and attention he needs and very comfortable accommodation. He needed nothing but a few more days at this wonderful home away from home. Felt confident leaving him there in Lindie's care.
Our two cats stayed at Purrgrove for 4 weeks. I was very happy with the way they were treated. The feedback we received during their stay was enough to give us peace of mind and not too much to be irritating. They were relaxed and in very good condition when collected. Many thanks to Lindie. Will definitely use Purrgrove again! Des
Tubby stayed at Purrgrove Cattery for six days. The passion and care given by Lindie of Purrgrove Cattery was of the highest level. Photos and updates everyday made us feel at peace, we could see that Tubby relaxed and started to enjoy his enclosure. If you really love your kitty then Purrgrove Cattery is the place to be. Thank you Purrgrove Cattery & Lindie for taking special care of our Tubby.
I can highly recommend Purrgrove Cattery in Gordons Bay - your cats will be cared for and loved by Lindie as if they are at home. The facilities are first class - soft, comfortable beds, toys, clean and temperature controlled rooms and no contact with other cats.
Thanks Lindie for taking such excellent care of my fur baby for over 2 months. She is definitely going to miss you and the luxury treatment :D I can highly recommend this cattery for long and short term stay. The accommodations are spacious with many levels to climb, so cute and cozy with many spots to hang out. Lindie puts your mind at ease with frequent updates and pictures. Thanks again Lindie, we will miss you here in Norway.
Our little Toast stayed at Purrgrove for the weekend and it was really a great experience. Lindie is amazing, she kept us updated on how Toast was settling in, sent photos and gave us great tips as new cat owners. Thanks Lindie!
First time visit to Purrgrove and many more to come! A real home from home environment. Lindie has really put a lot of care and love into her cattery. Our kitties were so comfortable and daily updates of photos is a pure joy when you are away. Lindie gives your kitties a lot play time, brushes and interaction during the day. They also have scratch posts and activities to keep them happy. Thank you Lindie, see you soon!

I have been taking my dogs to Vierthof Kennels for more than 15 years. They are the best in the Western Cape! I recommend them to everybody who ask me. My dogs only receive the best treatment and love at Vierthof Kennels.
The best place for your pets to stay over. Our pups always come back super happy and love going there!
Very professional and lovely people! Took good care of our dog while she did a trial run. It is clear they love animals and love what they do and they went to a lot of effort to make sure our dog was settling in despite her initial anxiety. I will happily bring our dog here again.
Our dogs were at Vierthof for almost seven weeks and they were so well cared for, they were in better condition than when we left! Very caring and affectionate staff who only had the dogs’ best interests at heart. Will definitely use them again.
Excellent kennel facility. They are very professional and care about your dog. They also have a lovely cattery.
It was my dogs' second time at Viertof, Arlo's first, and they never wanted to come home 😀. The Viertof team took really good care of my fur babies and I have no plans of entrusting anyone else with them. Considering that Ben and Charlie are very reactive Jack Russells, I was surprised that they went along with Dorothy and Jimmy to the kennels, they didn't even look back. Thank you Viertof, until next time.
This is THE BEST Kennels in the WC - and I have made use of several over the years. I moved away from Strand two years ago, but I still drive all the way there to leave my babies in their care when ever we need to go away. I would recommend them to anyone without hesitation. They are strict, thorough, caring people and the animals always comes first. Your animal will tell you if they are happy or not - mine cannot wait to get out of the car when we get there .... that in itself explains everything!
Vierthof have been looking after my furry family members for over 15 years now and I have only had amazing experiences with them. They are the only people who I would leave my animals with due to their lovely caring staff and just amazing service ! Their prices are very affordable when you compare it to the excellent care that they give to their fluffy hotel guests
As someone who has never used a kennel service before and who has never spent a night away from my 1-year old german shepherd, I had severe anxiety at the thought of leaving her for two nights. But I was so pleasantly surprised. Not only was she happy and relaxed, but obviously showered with affection too. It's awesome knowing I can leave her in the competent and caring hands of Vierthof Kennels and Cattery. Thank you so much for easing the anxiety!!
Vierthof Kennels is the best kennel I have ever had the pleasure of boarding my dog. It is much more than just a kennel, it is a place where your pet will get the love, care & attention of a home with gentle people who care about the needs of your animal. I have a nervous dog and I am cautious about who I leave him with, he had such great experiences at Vierthof it was as if he’d been at a behavioural clinic! I’ve never seen him so relaxed and happy. When I took him back the second time he ran in with his tail wagging like it was his second home. I will never kennel anywhere else. Vierthof went above the call of duty in so many ways and gave my dog such a positive experience and understood him so well that it has helped him in his journey to get over his fear of strangers. Thank you from Ella and “Pinky” 🙏 If you are looking for a place to kennel your pet, this is the place.

This place makes me jealous I'm not my dog! My dog absolutely loves coming here - she might love them more than us! It's obvious that every single person at DDO is passionate and loves what they do, and they are GREAT at it. They take great care with the dogs, and it's nice getting video and picture updates throughout the day. I cannot recommend them enough. Always great service!
Honestly the best Day care we have sent our pup too ! And we will not send him anywhere else. The staff are lovely and my dog comes back clean and happy each time we fetch him ! 🤍 so so so happy to know he has a home away from home that he loves !
Outstanding service, Outstanding venue, brilliant customer care. I have absolutely no doubt that my pups are not only looked after but loved with the utmost care. Would give them 6 stars if I could.
This is the best doggy daycare and boarding! My beagle loved going here and they are awesome with pets. They give frequent updates and make you feel at ease. I actually miss them but I unfortunately moved out the area. Please open up a branch in Tableview!
Eddie always has a great time with his buddies at Dogs Day Out. Caring, attentive staff. Love that they send photos to the moms and dads.
The ladies are super friendly and loving towards all the dogs, and the front shop is great. Wish I could see where the doggos hang out, though 😊 …
Best Doggy Daycare in the Western Cape!! Staff are friendly and very professional when it comes to taking care of your furbaby. They take the welfare of the dogs extremely seriously! It's my furbaby's home away from home where she can be among friends! 🐶❤️ …
What’s not to like about dogs day out. Our fur babies are loved and taken care of so well here. We have left them over a few days when we had a wedding and couldn’t take them with and we received daily updates about how they were doing. They are excited on their way to school and come home exhausted. The staff are professional and friendly and always respond to any text messages and even keep my dogs up to date with their tick and flea and deworming So 5 stars all the way We have sent our babies to the Faure branch and they come home well exhausted and with big smiles on their faces. Love both branches Thank you to all for keeping our fur kids safe happy and exercised
Our dog enjoyed her stay, staff always friendly and helpful and sends lots of photos 🐶🐶 …
Absolutely amazing service received from Dogs Day Out. From making the reservation, to receiving my cat on the day she was booked in, to being flexible as I travelled longer, getting daily videos on how my cat is doing. I dealt with Simone and Kirsten mostly. Truly absolutely incredible service, and amazing staff. Highly recommended!!

Great place to your small Dogs while you are away. Very friendly hands on people working there. Such a pleasure!
Charlie was so at home with Kara and family. He had so much fun, slept for a whole day when we got home. I had peace of mind knowing that he was in good hands without any worrying. Would definitely recommend them
My dogs are happy and safe there and I can leave them without worries. There they can run and plat the whole day with all the other dogs. Will always take my dogs to them and they go the extra mile for their clients
Possibly the closest thing to doggie heaven I have ever seen. Dogs are treated based on their likes and personality. We also received fotos and videos of our doggie throughout the course of the weekend. A no brainer if you need a sitter.
The kindest, most caring people you can ever leave your fur children with 🤗 …
It felt as our dog was adopted for the period of stay there. We were well informed and staff handled exceptionally well moods of our pet.
Great place, got our woof there. Would happily leave my dog there for however long, the owners are lovely and caring
Excellent care, attention and accommodation for four legged fur babies. Will definitely use again. Really good experience.
The way they treat people and dogs is absoluut wonderful! Animal heaven!
Best place for small dogs... Kara and family truly have passion for dogs.
