Going Away

Leonora

PET & HOUSE SITTER, WALKER Hello! I’m Leonora, Leo for short and this is my furry bestie, Bruno. I’m an easy going person, who loves to laugh and enjoy the simple pleasures of life. I’m 24 and am currently working from Monday to Friday and plan to do a few short courses in my spare time. I got Bruno from a friend in exchange for a bag of dog food and I’ve loved him ever since – we like to go on walks in the late afternoon after work and his favourite time is definitely meal time. I’m currently teaching him ‘fetch’ which is a still a work in progress because he always chases the ball but doesn’t always bring it back! I believe animals are to be loved and cherished, from taking care of Bruno I’ve learnt how loving they can be, how smart they are and how emotionally supportive they can be. I have 2 younger nephews and a 4 year old niece at home who love playing with Bruno with lots of hugs and sloppy kisses. I think at least once in their lives, everyone should experience the unconditional love of a dog, and give that love back to it😊   Started: 2025Training Courses: 1First Aid Courses: 4Base Area: Amalinda area and happy to help in other areas too  

Zoe

PET & HOUSE SITTER, WALKER Started: 2024Training Courses: 1First Aid Courses: 3Base Area: Based in East London over December times Hi, my name is Zoe. I am 20 years old. I was raised by animal lovers who taught to treat all living creatures with the utmost respect, care and love. I was born in East London, but I am currently studying in Cape Town. I do not have any pets in Cape Town, so I am very eager to spend time with animals. I am always keen to learn about and take care of different animals whether they have fur, scales or feathers. I love to draw and do anything artsy so I might draw your fur babies to practise my drawing skills. I am looking forward to making new animal friends.

PET & HOUSE SITTER, WALKER Started: Oct 2024Training Courses: 1First Aid Courses: 1Base Area: Based in Beacon Bay area and happy to help in other areas too All my life I’ve been surrounded and cared for by animals. I even learnt to walk by holding the tail of the family hound while he pulled me round the house! I hope to repay the care and unconditional love I’ve received from animals by treating your fur babies as the precious ones they are. Cuddles will be delivered, meds can be administered, walks can be adventures and any other needs can be discussed. Please consider me for your time away. I am mature, sensible and quiet-living and I will make sure everything is as you left it.Regards, Sam

Ria

PET & HOUSE SITTER Hi, im Ria, I was born in Benoni and stayed in a few Provinces. For the past 12 years I’ve been living in East London. I rescued a kitten off the street, saved his life and gave him a home. He is currently my best friend. Furthermore I help taking care of my Son’s 3 “high maintenance” dogs. The are of the “I constantly need love and affection” breeds which also not allow you much personal space. Seeing them and playing with them is the best part of my day. These loved ones are on special diets because of allergies. Some medication need to be administered from time to time, so I believe myself to love and take care of another’s animals as I look after my own and my Son’s special fur babies.
