Pet & house sitting · South Africa
Cashew Pets is a boutique pet and house sitting service run by Matthew & Cassidy. Your pets stay home on their own routine, and your home stays safe, tidy and lived-in while you’re away.
01 What we do
Whether it’s a long weekend or a month abroad, we move your pets’ care and your home’s upkeep off your mind and into safe hands.
01
In-home care & feeding
Your pets stay where they’re happiest: at home. We keep their meals, walks, play and bedtime exactly the way you do, so they’re safe, comfortable and barely notice you’ve gone.
02
Supervision & upkeep
A lived-in home is a safer home. We look after your place as if it were our own: secure, tidy and cared for, with all the little jobs quietly handled while you’re away.
Book both and your pets stay home while your home stays lived-in. One booking, one trusted pair of hands.
02 Meet your sitters
Cashew Pets is a small, personal business, and we do the sitting ourselves. The faces you meet at your meet-and-greet are the ones who’ll be feeding, walking and cuddling your pets, and looking after your home while you’re away.
For busy periods we have a small team of trusted sitters who work exactly the way we do. But most stays are with the two of us, and we like it that way.

06 Good questions
Something else on your mind? We’re happy to chat it through.
Ask us on WhatsAppUsually Matthew and Cassidy, the two of us. In busy periods a sitter from our small, trusted team may step in, and you’ll always know exactly who is coming before your stay begins.
For house sits, yes. Staying in your home keeps it lived-in and means your pets aren’t alone at night. If you’d prefer daily visits instead, just ask and we’ll talk through what works best.
Send us your suburb along with your dates and we’ll confirm availability for your area straight away.
Every home and every pet is different, so we quote per stay based on your dates, the number of pets and what’s involved. Send an enquiry and we’ll come back to you with a clear quote.
We visit your home to meet your pets, learn their routines, feeding and any quirks, and walk through the house with you: keys, alarm and gates, plants and the little things that matter to you.
