VerifiedDebbie
From R300Hi. Available anytime. Pet sitting is R300 (dog walking included if needed). Dog walking is R150. Experienced with cats, dogs and horses. Also happy to medicate your pets if they need it. Experience with diabetic cats and anxious dogs. And I’ve been a horse rider and stable manager for many years so house sitting with horses is also not a problem. I’ve been pet sitting for some of my clients for years so the animals become like my family. And I do whatever they need to keep their routines and not miss their families too much. Happy to pet sit most areas. Dog walking in Sandton.
VerifiedLuisa
From R450I have pet sit for many years but I’m retired so I am keen on doing it on a full time basis. I have had my own all my life but sadly I don’t have dogs. Living in an apartment. Is tricky so I chose to dog and cat sit. I do birds and fish too .

VerifiedSavannah
From R200Hi, I’m Savannah! I’ve always had a huge love for animals, and honestly can’t remember a time when they weren’t a big part of my life. I grew up surrounded by pets, and over the years I’ve cared for everything from dogs, cats, horses, tortoises, to bunnies and more. Being around animals has always been where I feel happiest, and I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Spending time with them never feels like work, it’s something I genuinely enjoy, and I feel incredibly lucky to be able to care for your fur babies while you are away.🐶🐭🐰
