Your furry family mean everything to you, meet the Whiskers and Wagging Tails family who will look after them

We've been best friends for over a decade, growing up with pets and learning how to care for them from a young age. In 2020, we started house and pet-sitting as a favour and fell in love with the pets and the special bond we formed. Since we were studying and working from our parents' home, we craved a change of scenery. We quickly became passionate pet-sitters, learning valuable lessons while providing personalised care for each unique pet. Our experience includes dogs, cats, fish, parrots, hamsters, and rabbits.

Altia

As a Digital Marketing Specialist, she works from home four days a week. Cuddles and books are her go-to for relaxation when she's not studying or working on side projects. After completing her BCom Marketing degree at Tuks (University of Pretoria), she's been in the industry for seven years. Her dream is to travel the world, but for now, she finds adventures in her books.
