Cat Sitters in Johannesburg

Konstanze

This was the second time that Konni has cared for our four Jack Russels and looked after our home. We are blessed to have Konni as a sitter. Came back to a clean house and happy doggies again. Thank you Konni. Till next time.

Barry

Louise and Barry were amazing with our home and pets. They are a warm, caring and fun family. We got updates every few days on how the pets were doing and they looked after our house well. The communication was great and they went the extra mile for us. We can highly recommend the Ming family as house and pet sitter.

Jackqueline

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

Julia

Julia took amazing care of our puppy and home. Our home was clean and tidy when we returned. Harvey was happy and healthy, and Julia even taught him two new tricks! Could not be more grateful for her care.

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%.

Ronel

Ronel stayed at our house with her daughter Natasja so they could spend some time in Cape Town together. They loved our boy Cody and cared for him wonderfully. Our house was looked after perfectly and they were excellent communicators. I thoroughly recommend Ronel and would ask her to look after Cody and our house again without hesitation. Thank you ladies!!

Rayanna

Ray was pet sittng for my 18 year old cat as a last minute substitute after my booked sitter had to cancell. From the word go her communication was excellent and it was very easy to make all arrangements with her. She was very pro active with all logistical arrangenents which gave me ease of mind to leave my Duchess in her care. My cat showed no signs of anxiety or nervernousness when I returned and was in great condition. Being so old she needs regular brushing to keep her fur smooth and it was very noticable that she got excellent care in that department. My house was left sparkling clean and even after my return Ray's communication with me is excellent. I highly recommend Ray - her friendly sunny nature is a bonus.

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.

Laura

Rose is a wonderful house & pet sitter and we thoroughly recommend her. Rose took great care of our cat Misty and our home for over two weeks this summer. Rose was communicative and helpful throughout the whole process. We had not used a house sitter before so we were a little anxious about leaving Misty and our home, but Rose put us at ease throughout by being friendly, helpful and open. She met me beforehand so I could show her around and give her the keys in person. Rose provided updates on Misty throughout and the place was spotless when we returned. Misty was well cared for and happy. Thank you Rose for taking such great care of Misty and our home!
