Ever had that twist in the gut feeling of having to ask a friend or relative to please help you out by feeding the pets and switching on lights and generally pretending to have some sort of presence in your home while you are basking in the sunlight on some exotic beach with a Strawberry Daiquiri in your hand?

And then found yourself wondering half the time if the friend or relative is doing so? And stressing that your expensive Koi fish are forced to eat mosquito’s to survive?!

Let’s be honest – it is always a big hassle having to break your routine once or twice daily to stop at someone’s home and feed animals and water plants and sing to the Koi to keep them in a mildly euphoric state. So much easier to have someone living there in your absence, but…

Trustworthy house sitters are hard to find!

While it is a fact in South Africa today that having a house sitter is absolutely NO guarantee against crime, it does give you the peace of mind to know that at least you have somebody at home to look after your pets, make sure the more important plants are watered, feed the fish, make sure everything is locked and just have a presence in your home. And not having to wonder if the person you asked to do these things will get time today or not. Alternatively knowing that you have entered into an agreement with a trustworthy person who WILL visit your property once or twice daily to feed animals and check that everything is still in order.

The problem is getting somebody you can trust!

How often have you heard from friends and relatives about the house sitter they got for the holidays, and when they came back the house was trashed, your furniture broken, your alcohol finished and the house sitter just shrugging it off. Oops, sorry, had my friends over for a couple of parties!

Well, We are not the party types, probably more security minded than most people you know, and not in the habit of trashing houses.

Furthermore, We offer both Sleepover and Daytime services. So you can choose to either have  sleep over for the period of time that you are away, or if you prefer to not have someone living in your home, arrange a visit to your premises once (or twice) daily to feed your pets and see that everything still seems to be in order. Also, notify you immediately if something is amiss – a geyser burst, the power is off and your fridge is defrosting, etc.

Peace of mind while you are away!
