What People Are Saying
-
Today was the first time I saw Nala take off in the Pet Sitters bus! It brought a tear to my eye to see how excited she gets when she sees you! You guys do such an incredible job! Thank you for making her day every Friday!
— Tanya Colegate

Excellent professional service, less stressful as no need to take the cat to a cattery (she often knows we are leaving and goes missing!) Peace of mind to know someone was taking care of our cat and keeping an eye on the house whilst we were away. Would highly recommend.
— Nicola Cunningham -
I am always a little apprehensive about leaving my two boys (cats) behind, but I can honestly say that after I met the Pet Sitter, I was totally reassured. The text while I was away was also much appreciated. The sitter even played games with them - they loved it!
— Elmarie Karg
Your Questions, Answered
-
Cat visits are 30 minutes, dog visits from 35 minutes. However, we increase the time according to how many pets are in the household. After completing all the jobs that need to be done, we allow sufficient time for lots of TLC to ensure that your pet is happy and healthy. Our prices reflect the amount of work involved and length of time we believe is appropriate. Of course, if you’re worried your pet needs a longer visit that can be arranged too.
-
Absolutely!!! We believe the key to having happy dogs at home is exercise! If you request 2 visits per day, then your dog can have 2 walks per day.

For Pet Sitting bookings, we recommend that you have a lock box on the property to store your key. These can be purchased from hardware stores.
If you plan on making a number of bookings and do not wish to leave a key on the property, we can keep your keys on file but we will need 3 copies to ensure that each sitter has one.
We do not operate a pick up and drop off service for keys.
