Gail
PET & HOUSE SITTER, WALKER Hi I’m Gail. I was born in King Williams Town and moved to East London about 13 years ago. I grew up on a farm and was surrounded by many different types of animals. I’ve always enjoyed animals and have taught my 2 daughters whom have always had animals in their life to always treat an animal with love and respect. I am an honest, neat and trustworthy person and will ensure that your fur babies are looked after whilst you are away and that your home will be left as you found it upon your return. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies and giving them the best possible care while you are away.

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.

Dianne W
PET & HOUSE SITTER Hi I am Dianne, im a mother of 3 and 3 ½ grandchildren, I have had pets come and go through my life – dogs, cats, birds, rats, hamsters, fish, etc. you name it. As a child I had s fish tank full of mice. My adult sons all have pets in their homes and one even has a porcupine and a guinea pig. I currently reside with my sister and there are 3 dogs and 3 cats, so I am constantly surrounded and in contact with pets. We are a close knit family and we are constantly involved with each other’s children AND pets. I believe that we must respect our pets, and not let them get out of control. Neutering and spaying is very important, if one is not breeding them. Not everyone is a breeder. It breaks my heart to see people get a pet and they breed and sit with unwanted pets, this is where abuse begins. This is my opinion and experience on owing pets.
