THE HAPPY HOUSE-SITTERS

Play Me

Established in 2004, we now consider ourselves to be the leading house-sitting
service in Cape Town. We have built a reputation on our INTEGRITY, RELIABILITY,
and TRUSTWORTHINESS However..... enough about us!!! Our responsibility to you
starts the moment you walk out the front door. We take over the running of your
home in all aspects - from collecting your mail, watering indoor plants,
overseeing any maid or char you might have, and most importantly..... providing
your pets with more TLC than they can handle. We will follow whatever
instructions you give us, be extremely diligent about security and not allow
strangers onto the property. Your pets will be kept as far as possible to their
normal daily routine, being fed at their usual time and in the case of dogs,
walked every day (We do not walk cats or goldfish!!) PLEASE NOTE: We do NOT do
“feeding visits” - coming to your home once or twice a day just to feed your
pets. Before your housesit begins, we will notify your vet and advise them of
the dates that we are doing your sit, should the need arise for emergency
treatment.

recommended by leading veterinary practices in various suburbs of cape town




ABOUT OUR SITTERS



We have a selected a hand-picked team of RETIRED people as our sitters. They
have been thoroughly checked and vetted by us. They all have police clearances
and are non-smoking ANIMAL LOVERS. As they are retired, they spend most of the
day at your home (with time out for shopping etc.) Before your sit commences, we
will arrange for our sitter to come and meet you, and to receive instructions
from you regarding your home. Should you use our service on a regular basis – we
will try to ensure the same sitter for you on each occasion. We also do spot
checks on our sitters during the time you are away, just to make sure everything
is running smoothly. There are times when our bookings do overlap, and we
occasionally need to change our sitters to accommodate our bookings. However, we
will try to avoid this if possible.

SECURITY



We provide home and pet owners with trusted housesitters to care for the home
and pets while away


THE OPTIONS

Never underestimate the resourcefulness of an intruder. Simply locking your
doors and windows isn't enough. If you can think of a way to get into your home,
surely someone who makes crime his living will be able to as well. You also
shouldn't overestimate the resourcefulness of neighbours. Neighbourhood watches
are fine, but how many of your neighbours spend every hour you aren't home
watching your house? How would they distinguish between a furniture delivery and
a robbery? Can you tell just by looking if someone is simply walking for
exercise or casing houses for possible burglary attempts? Even houses less than
a kilometre from police stations are easily robbed.


THE SOLUTION

The very best prevention you can implement is a combination of 24-hour home
alarm monitoring and a house sitter if you are going to be away for any length
of time. Don't become a statistic. Start protecting your home today!


HOME ALARMS

A simple loud noise will not deter a criminal. Your neighbours are likely to
turn up their televisions to drown out the sound. Criminals easily thwart
Battery and even electrically operated sound alarms. If you are going to use a
home alarm, you should use a monitored system. When you decide between monitored
home alarm systems, you generally have three choices - a do-it-yourself system,
a national monitoring system, and a local home security company system. The
do-it-yourself installation systems are by far the cheapest. You need a bit of
technical knowledge, and you need to know how an intruder enters. When you buy
your own equipment, you have your choice of companies to monitor your system.
Some systems let you program additional numbers to be called when the alarm is
triggered, which isn't as helpful as you'd think. By the time you or a neighbour
can react and call the police, your burglar is usually long gone. Monitored home
alarm systems are worth the investment, but you shouldn't stop there.


HOUSE-SITTERS

Even if you have an alarm system, house-sitters are invaluable. If you leave
your home to go on holiday, your best defence is having actual people in your
home. Most of burglaries happen during the day while people are at work.
Criminals will take the easiest route. If people are in their targeted home,
they will move on to a house that appears empty. The problem with traditional
house-sitting services is that they simply make one or two trips to your home a
day to collect mail, open curtains, water plants, and throw off criminals. That
still leaves about 23 hours in the day that your home is vulnerable to intrusion
or fires. The best house-sitting option is to have people living in your home.
Having a house sitter also cuts down on preparation time and expenses before
your holiday. You won't have to have your mail stopped (all a criminal must do
is watch your postal carrier skip your house to assume you're not home.), buy
and set light-timers, or even board the dog. The house sitter will water the
lawn, take care of your mail, pets, and home while you’re away. I fact it’s like
having a 'bodyguard' for your home while you're gone.
