What we offer in Pretoria
Live-in House & Pet Sitting (overnight stays)
A sitter stays at your home overnight, so your pets can keep their normal sleeping spots, feeding times, and “I must patrol the garden at 3am” rituals.
Typically includes:
- Morning/evening feeds + fresh water
- Walkies or garden play (as agreed)
- Meds given exactly as instructed
- Litter trays / poop duty / basic tidy
- Home basics: bins, post, curtains/lights, gates/alarms routines
Why book with Housepawty (and not “a stranger from the internet”)
- Vetted sitters (ID checks, interviews, references — we only list Good Humans)
- Detailed profiles so you can choose the right personality fit
- Meet & greet first so everyone’s comfortable before the sit begins
- Local focus (Cape Town + Gauteng), so rematching is faster if plans change
- Real-time availability via sitter calendars (no endless back-and-forth)
