Providing Pet Sitting in the Gordons Bay, South Africa
Energetic couple, now with time on their hands and keen for adventure
It was a pleasure having Tessa and Duncan sit for me and Sam. Their communication and responsiveness before the sit was brilliant, and made me feel very at ease that they would look after Sam and the house well. During the sit they sent me regular updates of Sam looking happy and relaxed and well cared for, and the house was immaculate in my return. Thank you Tessa and Duncan, it was a perfect sit.

Responsible Animal and Travel Lover eager to care for your home and fur babies
Kristy was great! The pets loved her and she took great care of all of them (2 dogs, 1 cat and 2 chicken). The house was clean when I got back and even the garden was nice and tidy. I thus recommend Kristy as a pet and house sitter.

I COME FROM A FAMILY THAT LOVES AND HAS HAD ANIMALS OF ALL KINDS OVER GENERATION
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!

Adventurous Animal-lover looking to be your Trustworthy Traveller.
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.

Experienced mature couple; love animals and travel
We couldn't be more pleased with the care Phil and Jo provided for our cats, Jill and Joy, while we were on vacation. We met them the day before we left, which allowed us to show them around the house and go over everything in detail. We had a great feeling about leaving our pets and home in their hands, and they absolutely lived up to our expectations. While we were away, Phil and Jo sent us pictures of the cats every other day, which reassured us that Jill and Joy were doing well. When we returned, the house was spotless, and our cats were clearly content and well-cared for. To top it off, a delicious lemon cake was waiting for us—a thoughtful touch that made coming home even sweeter. It's clear that Phil and Jo took the time to ensure everything was in perfect order, and we were especially happy to see how comfortable and happy Jill and Joy were. We highly recommend Phil and Jo to anyone looking for trustworthy and caring house and pet sitters. We would not hesitate to have them back again in the future!

Animal loving, conscientious sitter available for Long/Short term sits.
From the moment she arrived, Ingrid was clearly focused on caring for my pet and home. Our communication over the time I was gone was easy and Ingrid kept me updated on things at home. She even stayed an extra night when I had a problem with my flight. I'd definitely recommend her to anyone needing a self-sufficient, responsible, and caring pet/house sitter!

Animal lover on the move
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!

Looking forward to meeting my new fluffy friend
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!

Mom-and-teen travel team for long-term pet sits in Cape Town
My Luna cat was very well cared for by Lani and Lee… Lee had a very special connection with Luna, as she was even allowed by Luna, to brush her stomach furr!! I could really enjoy my 2 month, job in Europe, without any concerns about my furry child.
Sofia and Nicole were excellent sitters to our 2 playful cats (an adult tabby and a BIG Maine coon kitten). They gave us a couple updates daily with pictures, as we requested. They were easy to communicate with before and throughout the entire sit. When we came home, our apartment was tidy (probably neater than we left it!) and our cats were relaxed and happy. They were also kind enough to leave us with some sweet bandanas for our boys. We were super pleased with the quality of care, and would happily recommend Sofia and Nicole to anyone in need of a pet or house sitter!
Kristi was an absolutely incredible sitter -- I think our favorite one ever! She was easy to communicate with, kind and personable, and took great care of our pets and our house. It was the first time we had left both our dog and our cat with a TH sitter and Kristi went above and beyond. She was very self-sufficient but provided fun updates and pictures and our pets loved her. Highly recommend!
Great pet sitter - took perfect care of our cat and our home. They were super communicate leading up to and during the sit and left our apartment in great shape. I'd absolutely recommend them to any future sitters!
Best house and pet sitters we've ever had! They definitely gave our cat and dog plenty of love and attention.
Kimberly was a wonderful sitter who watched our two cats for us while we were out. She was willing to come a day early to help acclimate herself with the animals, and this was exceedingly helpful in making sure the cats would be comfortable with her during our absence. I would highly recommend Kimberly if you're looking for a responsible, caring sitter.
Nathalie and John were great! They were great house sitters to watch our two dogs, 2 geckos, our old cat and bull frog. Their two girls took good care of the animals as well. The house was exactly how we left it. We really appreciated their help!
Tracy was an ideal pet sitter when we left for 12 days. She was communicative, friendly, and most importantly took perfect care of our two cats and our house. I would highly recommend her for any sit!
Karen was able to step in a sit for me on short notice after another sitter canceled. She was very thorough and communicative and I felt I had left my apartment and cats in good hands with her. I came home to a clean apartment and happy cats. I definitely recommend Karen as a sitter.
Pennee and Bill were the BEST pet sitters and guests ever! I really wanted them to stay forever ! Our cat, Miss Kitty bonded so much to them, that she really wasn’t that happy to see me when I got home .Our cat is a finicky eater and they tried all different types of food and treats for her. They sent me regular photos of miss kitty and I knew everything was great when most of the pics had miss kitty on their lap. Our cat doesn’t take to many people but she immediately fell in love with them. Pennee sent us our mail and prescription meds on a regular basis , and went out of her way to take care of any issues . They fell in love with the neighbors and community and just made our lives so easy . We experienced the Covid 19 virus outbreak quarantine during this time and Pennee and Bill agreed to stay a month longer at our home . They were extremely flexible with their travel plans so that everyone would be safe. Upon our arrival home, we were greeted with a bouquet of flowers , beautiful hanging basket of flowers for outdoors and a beautiful bottle of wine . And our house had never been cleaner ! Bill and Pennee are a pet owners dream couple !I felt extremely lucky to have found such a great petsitter and new friend . We will be visiting each other in the future .
Steven was a great sitter for our black lab Souris and cat Pinot. They were well looked after and really liked Steven. Our house was in good order when we got back and Steven was kind enough to give us a lift to and from the airport. He was very flexible, arriving day early so we could show him around.
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home for free at Zeewoi.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least $20 per visit, per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Zeewoi.
What do people do with their cats when they go on vacation?
Inviting a cat sitter to your home, boarding the cat with a local business, asking a friend, family or neighbour to feed and check the well-being. The most efficient way to leave your cat during your vacation is with Zeewoi cat sitters for free, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
Outstanding! Service is BILLION STARS!!!! Friendly and they are real animal lovers! I would recommend HELDERBERG PAWS for any pet lover!
Personal love and care!
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!!
We are looking after houses and pets for many years and it is only a pleasure to do that. 🐾🐾 …
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.
