Home - Waggly Tails

Are you insured and bonded?

A: No, but we are however a registered company (Waggly Tails (PTY) LTD (2017/113381/07), and are part-time pet sitters and full-time students or young working adults. We will always treat your property like it is our own.

Unfortunately, we do not carry any liability if there is any criminal or malicious attempt at damaging your property or stealing goods from it. We are also not responsible for any other acts such as fire, nature induced events or dogs being poisoned by criminals.

Please note we are not security guards or deliver a security service, but you do need to inform us who your security company is so that, in the event of an emergency, we can get in contact with them. You also need to tell your security company that we are allowed on the property in your absence, please.

We do pledge to treat your property and belongings with the utmost respect and will ensure you to be informed the moment you find anything out of order.

Do you board pets?

A: We do not board pets in our own homes. We do provide daily visits for your pets or we can stay overnight as well.

In the case that it might be a puppy, we might, however, make an exception to the rule.

Your pets will be much happier in their own home stress-free!

I have never used an overnight pet sitter before; can you tell me a little bit about this service?

A: We offer an overnight visit from 10 pm to 7 am, dependant on our daily routine and time of the year. Overnight stays give you peace of mind knowing that your home is being looked after as well as your pets getting lots of extra attention.

If your pets are used to sleeping in your bed with you, we are happy to have them sleep in the bed with us too!

We can add a dinnertime visit also and then later return again for the night.

To be fair to sitters; they are not expected to spend 24 hours a day at the house and may need to go to their own homes, work or to campus during the day. We do however try and be there for as long and as much as possible.

Do I pay for my pet sitters petrol?

A: Yes you do. It is calculated into the distance travelled for visits or sleepovers.

To ensure that we remain within in your budget and you are not surprised by a massive bill the following is considered as travelling:

Travelling to, and back, once a day for sitters visiting once a day or staying over;
Travelling to, and back, twice a day for sitters visiting twice per day.

Should you live in an area not covered by Waggly Tails, fear not, we will still be of service to you. A travelling charge would be added for compensation of the sitter at R3.50 per km from Pierre van Ryneveld to your home.
