Every new booking starts with a quick meet & greet orientation. We’ll go through routines, feeding, access, and any special needs so your pets (cats, dogs, birds and more) feel settled and safe while you’re away.


Lydia holds an internationally recognised Diploma in Canine Care & First Aid (Compass Education & Training College).

Based in St Helena Bay, happy to travel to surrounding areas within Saldanha Bay & the West Coast Peninsula.
