Long Term House & Pet Care (30 days+)

If you’re heading away for more than just a weekend and need someone to properly hold the fort, my live-in service is designed for you. I take on long-term commitments, 30+ days with aplomb.

I’m Yolisa – a calm, responsible house- and pet-sitter with 4 years of experience in Cape Town, including long-term stays of several months at a time. The Duminy family, for example, have trusted me to live in, care for their home and look after their dog, Bella, while they travelled for extended periods – from daily feeding and walks to keeping the house running smoothly and securely.

With a background in marketing and communications at Rhodes University’s Sol Plaatje Institute, I’m used to being organised, accountable and professional. Those same habits come with me into your home: I follow routines carefully, pay attention to detail, and communicate clearly so you’re never left wondering how things are going.

What my live-in service includes:

• Overnight stays, every night – your home is occupied, not standing empty.
• Full pet care – feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime and calm companionship.
• Routine-focused care – I stick to your pets’ normal schedule to keep them settled, especially on longer trips.
• General home care – lights, alarms, bins, post, plants and keeping the house tidy and lived-in.
• Regular updates – check-ins and photos so you always know your home and pets are okay.

What you can expect from me:

• Reliability & responsibility – I do what we’ve agreed, consistently.
• Respect for your home & privacy – low-drama, considerate, and security-minded.
• Experience with long-term sits – I’m comfortable and confident staying for weeks or months at a time.

If you’re planning a long trip and need someone steady and trustworthy to look after both your home and your pets, my live-in service lets you travel with real peace of mind.
