-Marvellous in every way, could not fault anything. Took Ben to vet and arranged a follow up visit, lots of messages while we were away to stop me worrying, cats looked sleek and happy when we returned, couldn’t ask for better sitters..

-This is the second time that Marijke and Cobus have sat for me. They are the best, they love all the pets and they love them back. My 3 dogs sat by the gate all day when they left, waiting for them to return. I am happy to recommend them to anyone looking for sitters. They are friends and we will always be in touch going forward.

-Marijke was an excellent dog / cat sitter/ housesitter. She was very friendly and most important our dog loved her. She looked after our house and contents as if it was her own. When she went she was a big miss for our animals. We would certainly have her again. In fact we have kept in touch since she went. Our pictures of our dog have been sent to to her for keepsake . It is nice to keep in touch with people who care about your animals. Loved her as a caring person.

-I’ve had the absolute pleasure to have Marijke and Cobus staying at my house with my cats while I was away for work. They looked after my home as if it was theirs and even kindly did a few little repairs here and there, which was a join to discover. Both cats were extremely happy and relaxed when I arrived, something that’s a big big plus for me. A great experience indeed and I hope to be in touch and meet again in the near future 🙂

-Marijke and her partner Cobus were absolutely brilliant. They loved the girls and made sure they were spoilt whilst I was away. Cobus even did a number of jobs around the house that I had been putting off, what a lovely surprise to come home to. I am happy to recommend Marijke and Cobus to anyone looking for sitters..

-Marijke and Cobus went above and beyond with their care and hospitality. Not only did they look after my house and my dog really well, they were attentive to what the house needed, paying attention to detail, such as fixing my hob lights, oiling garage locks, putting in some hooks for tea towels and replacing my dogs lead. They also tidied up my shed and I couldn’t believe my eyes! When I got back the house was in impeccable condition, clean, tidy and milk on the fridge for me. Communication was perfect, very effective and kind. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough and I feel very lucky I found them on this website.
