Pretoria, South Africa
Nature and animal loving couple. Respect People. Love & Protect Animals.
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.

We are animal-loving people and love taking care of them as if they are family!
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!

Nik, Gem & baby Josh.. the purrposeful sitters you can trust, fur real.
It was a real pleasure to spend time with Nik and Gem prior to our departure. We felt happy and confident in leaving the care of our house and pony in their competent hands. Bixie was well-cared for, and, according to the next carer (my mother), the house was left in an ‘immaculate’ condition. The flowers were a lovely touch too. We have no hesitation in highly recommending this capable pair for any prospective sits. We wish them both every success and happiness for the future, especially on their new journey into the next chapter of their lives.

An adventurous couple who loves traveling, pets and meeting new people.
Nicole and Nardus were a fantastic couple! We really enjoyed meeting them and Max was enamoured too. From the moment we met it was as if they were a part of the family and they settled in immediately. We also enjoyed spending time with them and sharing some meals before and after our trip. The house was well taken care of and Max was clearly in great spirits under their care. We hope to see Nicole and Nardus again whether through a housesit or if our paths happen to cross somewhere in the future. Anyone who has them as housesitters will be very lucky indeed! We give them 10 stars!

Responsible & mature academic travelling while I write and research
Sean and Tammi were very nice and were self sufficient. We had a bit of miscommunication which I feel was probably me being unclear and ot specific enough. They had an issue with Molly running off and they remained calm and did everything right. I feel both of us could have communicated better but I feel that it is a learning curve. The most important thing was that our pets were happy and chilled on our return. Thank you Sean and Tammi

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.
Once again Dede was the most perfect pup and house sitter you could ever hope to have the pleasure of using. She leaves our home cleaner than we left it and our pups so happy that they continue to search for her after she leaves. Dede handled an emergency situation with a false CO2 alarm which resulted in a visit from the fire department perfectly and we were so grateful! I feel completely comfortable with her in our home and know she is giving our 2 dogs the very best care. Thank you Dede - you truly are the best!
Anita was a wonderful dog sitter for Balto! They were super tentative, made sure to ask any and all questions before we went away, and they sent the best updates about Balto while we were gone. I felt so much better knowing my dog was in great hands, and I could not recommend Anita enough! Quality care, and our apartment was spotless when we returned home.
I’m sure most folks say the nicest things about their sitter, but honestly, if there were a “super star” status available then Denise would win the prize as sitter of the year! From the start, Denise was an excellent communicator. While we were still in the decision phase, Denise was always available to chat either by FaceTime, telephone or text. It was so easy to choose Denise; as you can see from her countless 5 star reviews, she truly is the only pet sitter you’d ever need and the one everyone hopes to have. Denise came to our house eager to meet us, our pets and the quirks of our house. Denise has an excellent sense of humor and immediately put us all at ease. Our pets took to her as if she was a long lost friend (even our finicky Siamese cat was loving on her from the start). While we were gone, our dog had a non-emergency health issue come up and just like that Denise was taking her to our vet, and administered the dog’s meds like a champion (Denise is also a nurse BTW). Additionally, Denise brought our pup to her scheduled groom appointments and even made future appointments for us to make our return home as seamless as possible. Denise was even above and beyond helpful to our neighbors and they appreciated her giving them access to our refrigerator when theirs broke down on Thanksgiving Eve! When we got home we were super impressed by how perfectly immaculate our house was! Most sitters leave the house clean, but Denise met and may have even exceeded our military standards of clean and orderly. Seriously, our house felt like we never left it. Everything was spotless, shinny and clean. She didn’t miss a beat!! Our pets were so happy to see us but honestly, I felt like our pup and kitty were disappointed when we walked in the door (I believe they were expecting to see Denise!). Haha. If you are ever fortunate enough to have Denise apply for any of your sits then I can’t recommend her enough. Seriously, you can stop reviewing applicants and just go with Denise. She was awesome in every sense of the word and I hope she’ll come back and stay with our pets again.
Liz was a fantastic sitter for our boys and took great care of our home. She was a great communicator and kept us informed of what was happening and how our dogs were doing. She also kept our home clean and tidy. We would be grateful to have Liz sit for us anytime!
Cindy was great, couldn’t have asked for a better sitter experience! Communication was great both before and during the sit. Cindy was really helpful and flexible with arrival and departure arrangements. I came back to a happy dog and a well cared for house, can thoroughly recommend 🙂
Lisa and Matt were absolutely fantastic sitters for us and our dog, Moose. Not only were they flexible when our flight was changed last minute, they also were able to stay an extra day to accommodate the changes. They communicated with us promptly during the scheduling and planning process for the housesit. They arrived on time on the (re)scheduled day. They acclimated to our dog very quickly and gave us piece of mind as we left by taking him on a walk to avoid his separation anxiety. We chatted every day and exchanged photos of Moose playing at the beach and in the yard. He was so happy! No problems were encountered with the house. Even our neighbors commented on how friendly and kind Lisa and Matt both were and how they really cared for Moose. The house was spotless when we returned. Everything in proper order, better than we left it. We can't thank them enough for the excellent experience!
Mikayla was a superb house/dog sitter for us for one full week. She was an excellent communicator, very quiet and tidy (respectful of the space) and best of all she quickly bonded with our big dog Mouse. She cheerfully took her for long walks and shared photo updates regularly. I highly recommend Mikayla.
Piper was a wonderful sitter and I would definitely have her come again. My dog .Winston loved her and was very happy while I was gone. When I returned home everything was orderly and clean, she changed her bed and washed all the towels. I totallly recommend Piper to sit at your home.
Melissa and Chris are amazing. We are very picky about our dog sitters, and we chose them because they have been doing this for a long time and track your wants and needs carefully and follow through with utmost care and integrity. They offered to come the day before we left to meet Winnie so that we could rest in that she would trust them and connect to them. Honestly, we would hire them as our only dog sitter all of the time if we could. I cannot thank them enough and say enough good things about them. They also took very good care of our house and plants.
Angela was fantastic. She came a day early to meet us and our dog Bella and to get the lay of the land and we so enjoyed meeting her and getting to know her! She took care of our home and Bella with the utmost care and attention. She was great to communicate with throughout the sit and we felt confidant being away knowing our dog and home were in such good hands! We returned to a clean house and she even prepared dinner for us! It was clear that Bella was happy, well taken care of and very fond of her!! We would definitely recommend Angela. She was a reliable sitter and a delightful person all around!!
