VerifiedJessica
From R150Hi, my name is Jessica and I am a caring, reliable, and attentive animal lover who understands how important pets are as part of the family. I pride myself on creating a calm, loving, and safe environment where pets feel comfortable, cared for, and happy while their owners are away. With a responsible nature and flexible schedule, I always aim to give both pets and owners complete peace of mind.
VerifiedCaryn
From R100I am very experienced with dog walking, grooming and pet sitting, just unfortunately not professionally. I’ve had pets all my life and i absolutely love them. I’m also currently studying animal welfare at UNISA and it would be amazing to gain more experience!
VerifiedEva
From R115Hi! I'm Eva, a 28-year-old female residing in Green Point and a lifelong animal lover who's grown up surrounded by pets. I have over 10 years of experience caring for both cats and dogs, including energetic puppies and senior pets who need a little extra patience and attention 🐾❤️ I'm reliable, caring, and treat every pet as if they were my own. I also know how reassuring it is to stay connected while you're away, so I love sending regular photo and video updates to keep you smiling and give you peace of mind.
VerifiedRobert
From R50I love animals, especially dogs, and am just so super willing to help out if I can, with anyone who needs some pet assistance. Grew up on a farm with many dogs, and now live in an apartment in Tamboerskloof without pets, so I am craving that pet interaction.
VerifiedLucinda
From R100For over ten years, I have regularly house-sat for two cats and a dog three times a year in St James, ensuring their routines, feeding, and playtime were perfectly maintained while keeping the home secure and spotless.
VerifiedWayde
From R100I am very experienced looking after dogs and cats over the years. I really enjoy the company of fur babies and care for them as if they were my own. I specialise in sitting with rescue dogs that have some residual trauma and have abandonment issues. I am pretty fit and strong and can also manage big or strong willed dogs as well
