Sale Not available

Mature, calm, and deeply local, with spotless home care and pets treated like family.

If you’re looking for a sitter who feels like a safe pair of hands from the minute you meet her, you’ll love Lucinda. She’s a long-time Cape Town resident with a genuine passion for pets and homes, especially in the City Bowl, Gardens, Oranjezicht, and Tamboerskloof.

Lucinda brings real, lived experience: she’s house-sat for two cats and a dog three times a year for over a decade in St James, plus spent an entire year caring for pets in Kommetjie. She’s also always had her own cats and dogs, so daily routines are second nature, feeding, walks, playtime, gentle companionship, and medication if needed, all delivered with calm consistency.

This is proper live-in care: your pets stay settled in their own space, and your home stays beautifully looked after. Lucinda keeps things tidy and secure, plants watered, bins managed, mail collected, and everything locked down tight. No drama, just peace of mind.

Her background as a former educator and Head of Department shows in the way she works: organised, reliable, proactive, and attentive to detail. She’s the sort of sitter who reads the notes, sticks to the routine, and thinks one step ahead.

What you can expect (live-in)

  • A mature, live-in presence so pets feel calm and safe
  • Feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and affectionate companionship
  • Medication support if required, and routines followed properly
  • Home care: spotless spaces, plants, bins, and mail handled
  • Strong security mindset: no parties, no strangers, ever
  • Daily updates with photos and messages, so you always feel in the loop
  • Warm, “jolly” energy, kind, positive, and fuss-free

What sets Lucinda apart

She’s not only an animal lover, she’s a true local who knows these neighbourhoods inside out, with a professional background that makes her naturally trustworthy, low-key, and wonderfully dependable.

Lucinda is available for live-in stays, pop-in visits, and dog walks, and she’s happy to meet for a relaxed meet-and-greet. References ready.
