Cat Sitting in Franschhoek

Ruth and James were FANTASTIC--we just couldn't be happier with how they cared for our home and our girls. Our little Lucy, a senior pup with considerable anxiety, actually climbed in their suitcase as they were packing to leave. And our little Sophia, a senior cat who avoids almost everyone, actually spent time in the room with them--very unusual, and an indicator that they were calm and gentle. We got photos and updates every day, which gave us so much comfort and joy while we were away. In addition, our house cleaner and contractor met them and said they were lovely people. :) Thank you, Ruth and James! It'd be our pleasre to see you again.

Thank you Barry for taking good care of Joey and Delilah. They both seemed very relaxed on my return. Barry was responsive and organised. He was happy to administer eye drops as Delilah developed an ulcer just before my departure. I imagine Barry could turn his hands to most things and nothing was too much trouble!

Carla came to our home in Italy for 3 weeks with her friend Jana. They were the perfect sitters. Very organized, self -sufficient and gave us regular updates. Carla was very attentive when I voiced my concern for our older dog who is nearly 15. Even though she is in good health I was still concerned being so far away but the girls gave me assurance she would get extra attention and she did! Would definitely recommend Carla to sit and would welcome her back anytime.

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 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

Jane and John were really fantastic, not only did they give our boys a great time, they had the job of taking care of Sam after a small operation on his foot, he was well cared for. They left the place clean and tidy and cooked us a lovely meal on our return. Please come back soon.........

Priyal was extremely well prepared and debriefed in detail all that was required for the week long sit well before hand. She gave our children an inordinate amount of love and care, sending cute cuddle videos and photos on a regular basis and ensured that their every whim was fulfilled (lucky Pushkin & Rossi!) I would not hesitate to use her again, my children absolutely adored her. Thank you Priyal!

This was our 1st time leaving our puppy and cat together with a house sitter. We needn't have worried at all. From the beginning Nicole was so easy to communicate with. She looked after the pets fantastically - sending picture updates throughout our time away. The pets seemed to have a great time and our home was spotless on our return. Nicole was fab - thank you again!

I was fortunate to meet Jenny and Nigel on two occasions. They are delightful people and most importantly Barnaby, my dog, seemed to like them! I was confident leaving the house and dog with them. When I got home the house was immaculate and Barnaby seemed content. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending them.

Richard agreed to come one day earlier to our home to have enough time to explain everything. We had immediately the impression to be with a friend and spent a very nice evening together. During his stay everything went very well. He informed us regularly that everything was fine and after our return we found our house very clean and tidy. We recommend him warmly as your future housesitter.
