House Sitting in Pretoria

“Samantha definitely went above and beyond to care for our dogs over the weekend. We never had to worry how they were doing or if they were being taken care of. She was so accommodating. We will definitely ask her to pet sit again!”

Christopher W.

“Brooke is the best for providing the care and love to your animals when you can’t be there. She sends notes and pictures of activities and time spent with your pets. Honest and dependable- I would recommend her for anyone that needs long term ( in my case) pet care to give your pets the opportunity to know her. She is loving and knowledgeable- you will know your pets will be taken care of.”

Gwenyth G.

“All went good with Megan, we definitely would recommend her”

Francisco G.

“Tashi stayed in our home for an overnight visit with two dogs and two cats. She was incredibly polite and patient with my dog who is distrusting of new people. She is a great communicator and I would definitely hire her again!”

About: Hey I’m Brooklyn, I’m going to make this short and sweet but info packed! I have grown up with dogs, I currently have an Irish setter named Mac, while also having two French bulldogs at my parents whom I am constantly watching. I have been dog sitting since I was around 10, I am well versed in all types of dogs including breed, temperament, and signal's dogs use. I have taken care of senior and special need dogs, including a beautiful Mastif named Matilda. I am well versed in giving medications/shots to dogs as well as how to help them stand, get up, lay down, and use the restroom while not being able to do so fully by themselves. If I am unfamiliar with how to do something I will be upfront and honest with you and either have you show me how to do said task, or do research! If you are nervous about leaving your dog with someone you do not know let me help! I can meet up prior to you even booking and try to ease your mind. I know it can be scary leaving your dog and I want to help you and your pup feel comfortable! If you dog is aggressive I would be more than will to watch them! Aggressive dogs are not bad dogs, they are scared. I have owned an aggressive dog myself, as well as worked with quite a few. If you have tricks you have found worked for your dog I would love to hear them. If not I have done hours of research, reading, and experience with aggressive dogs. Training, if your dog is in the process of training or needs to learn simple sit and lay down type of commands I would be more than happy to work that in to ensure the best for you and your pup! I am also more than happy to do baths for your pets I’m so excited to get to know your babies! Feel free to reach out if you need more info on a specific topic. I am a college student, I have classes mostly in the morning but very spaced out. My schedule is flexible other than my classes. Sundays I do go to church but if need be I can find my way around that. Dogs are not just dogs, they are family. When in my care your dog will always come first not matter what the situation is. Your home will always be treated with respect and left better than I found it. The dogs needs are extremely important even if it is a ball stuck under the couch! I will listen to what your dog need from you and your dog, I will treat your animal with respect and the upmost care.

“Chloe spent a whole week at our house watching our dog, she was amazing! She cared so genuinely for our dog, going the extra mile to make him feel relaxed while we were gone. Would highly recommend her for any needs you may have with your dogs!”

“Hannah was great!! We set up a meet and greet to make sure her and Nala got along and that went perfectly. She even showed up earlier than she needed to!! The whole time she was watching Nala she kept me updated and sent photos which made me feel better about not being at home with my dog. Will definitely use her again!!”

About: I’ve been dog sitting for over 4 years, caring for pets like they’re my own. One of my regular clients is the woman who does my hair and lashes—she trusts me so much, I’m the only person she asks to watch her dogs. I’ve also helped friends, family, and neighbors by walking, feeding, and bathing pets of all sizes and temperaments. I’m dependable, gentle, and always happy to follow special care instructions to keep pets happy and safe. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule. I only have one in-person class Tuesday–Thursday for a few hours, so I’m free most days and weekends to care for your pets. I’ll have plenty of time to walk, play, and keep them company throughout the week. I prefer to dog sit in the client’s home, as I live in an apartment with roommates. This allows your pet to stay in their familiar environment, which helps reduce stress. I will ensure they are cared for in a safe, loving atmosphere, with plenty of attention and affection.

About: What truly sets me apart as a pet sitter is my comprehensive understanding of diverse pet needs, coupled with a genuine passion for their well-being that extends beyond basic care. Many sitters offer walks and feedings, but my approach is deeply rooted in providing specialized, individualized care that addresses both their physical and mental health. For instance, my experience with puppy care goes beyond house-training; I'm adept at positive reinforcement techniques, early socialization, and laying the groundwork for basic obedience, helping them develop into well-adjusted adults. When it comes to senior care, I understand the unique challenges that come with aging pets – from administering multiple medications on strict schedules, to recognizing subtle signs of discomfort, to providing gentle, supportive mobility assistance for those with arthritis or limited movement. I'm also highly experienced with pets with special medical needs, including administering injections, managing dietary restrictions for allergies or illnesses, and closely monitoring for any changes in their condition. My background as an avid cleaner means your home will be just as tidy as you left it, and my extensive supply of extra blankets, toys, food, and treats ensures I'm always prepared for any unexpected need or simply to offer a little extra comfort and fun. Ultimately, it's my proactive, attentive, and deeply compassionate approach to every pet's unique personality and requirements that provides true peace of mind for their owners. Even with a packed schedule of classes and a part-time job, incorporating pet care into my daily and weekly routine is a non-negotiable part of my life. It's a constant balancing act, starting with early morning walks and feedings before I head to campus or work. Throughout the day, I'm always mindful of their needs, whether it's a quick pit stop home between lectures for a potty break or making sure they have enough food and fresh water. Evenings are dedicated to quality time – longer walks, playtime, and settling down together while I tackle homework. Weekends are when I can truly spoil them with extended adventures to the park or extra-long cuddle sessions. It takes planning and effort, but the joy and companionship my pets bring into my life make every moment of that routine completely worthwhile. When pets stay with me, my focus is always on providing a safe, trustworthy, and enriching environment that feels like a second home. I go beyond the basics, conducting thorough safety checks to eliminate hazards, maintaining a pristine and pet-friendly clean home, and being fully prepared for any emergencies with a well-stocked pet first-aid kit. Building trust is key, so I strictly follow their established routines for feeding and medication, and keep pet parents updated with regular photos and messages, ensuring peace of mind. Beyond safety and trust, I create an enriching environment filled with daily walks tailored to their energy, engaging playtime with a variety of toys, and mental stimulation through puzzle games or new experiences. I always have a supply of extra blankets, food, and treats on hand, and I'm meticulous about their grooming and any necessary medical care. Ultimately, my aim is to make their stay as comfortable, happy, and stimulating as possible, treating them with the same love and attention they receive from their own families.

About: I have taken care of dogs of all ages mainly but I have experience with most animals! I also work at a pet boarding facility! I do drop by’s, walks, and overnight stay! I am flexible and can work with you! I am a student at Georgia Southern, so I do have class on certain days of the week. As of the fall, i have free days on weekends, Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays I can crate your pup and can handle a leash if needed! People trust me to sleep overnight with their pets and I am more than happy to.

“Erin did amazing with all my dogs and cats, too include my special needs dog! She spent most of the time at my house keeping everyone company and was very responsive. I would definitely use her again!”

Cera S.

“Alex watched our dogs for over two weeks and we couldn't be happier with the care they received. She stayed with them through thunderstorms and fireworks, which was a huge relief because one of our pups has bad anxiety. She also provided us with daily updates and pictures, administered their medications, and kept our home as tidy as we left it. We are so happy we found Alex and would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter!”

Lindsey S.

“Gwen did a wonderful job taking care of the whole pack! She was professional from the first communication and kept me updated on how the dogs and cat were doing throughout the entire time I was away. She was attentive to their individual needs and personalities, and I was able to enjoy my trip knowing that they were well taken care of. Highly recommended.”

Barry K.

“Katherine did a great job of taking care of our young puppies while we were away. She gave them needed meds, gave them lots of attention and left our house neat and tidy. I will definitely ask her to watch our pups again.”
