In-Home Cat Sitting in Johannesburg

Cat Care in Johannesburg: Calm, In-Home Cat Sitting by Cat-Experienced Sitters

Cats do not travel well and they do not enjoy new territory. A cattery means strange smells, strange cats and a carrier ride in traffic which is why most cats settle faster when they stay home and we come to them.

Our cat care service in Johannesburg is built for cats first: quiet arrivals, no loud greetings, respect for a cat who hides under the bed for the first visit, and a strict routine of feeding, water, litter and observation. We serve cat owners in Sandton, Morningside, Bryanston, Riverclub, Rosebank, Hyde Park, Illovo, Midrand, Fourways, Kyalami, Alberton and Meyersdal.

Every drop-in visit includes

• ✓ Fresh food and clean water: wet and dry, with portions measured exactly as you specify.
• ✓ Litter tray scooped and refreshed, plus a full change when needed.
• ✓ Play, brushing and company for sociable cats, or a quiet presence for shy ones.
• ✓ Health checks each visit: appetite, water intake, litter habits, eyes, coat and behaviour notes.
• ✓ Photo or video update after every visit, and a written summary at the end of the booking.

Cat care rates and how often we should visit

A 30 to 45 minute drop-in visit is R130, two visits a day come to R260, an extended 60 minute visit is R200, and administering medication or injections adds R60 per visit. Most healthy adult cats do well on one visit a day; kittens, seniors on medication, or cats with diabetes usually need two. The complete price list, including holiday surcharges and key collection, is on our Johannesburg pet sitting pricing page. If your cat would rather not be alone overnight at all, our overnight pet sitting service puts a sitter in the house instead.

Questions cat owners ask us most

My cat hides from strangers. Will this work? Usually, yes. We never force interaction. Your sitter will locate the cat, confirm it is well, and let it come to them in its own time most cats are on the lap by day three.

Can you give tablets, liquids or injections? Yes. Our Level 2 sitters are trained in medication administration, and we log every dose with a time stamp so nothing is guessed.

Will you also water plants and take in the post? Always. Standard visits include plants, post, bins and a quick security check of doors and windows it is part of why our clients come back.

What if my cat needs a vet? We ask for your vet's details and an emergency contact at the meet-and-greet. In an emergency we transport your cat to your chosen practice and keep you updated in real time.

How do I arrange visits? Send your suburb, dates, the number of cats and any medication needs through the contact form. You will get availability and a written quote, then a free meet-and-greet so your cat meets the sitter before you leave and you can compare all of this against the published rates first.

The White-Glove Standard

Cats in Johannesburg's finest homes are treated with the same discretion we reserve for their owners. For families in Hyde Park, Sandton, Rosebank, Illovo and Waterfall, our cat visitors are quiet, unhurried and utterly trustworthy.

Absolute discretion. Every engagement is bound by a signed privacy and confidentiality agreement. No social media, no location tags, no visitor disclosure, ever.

Household and estate liaison. We coordinate with your domestic staff, security and contractors for gate access, deliveries and vet runs, all logged and reported to you.

One dedicated sitter, start to finish. The same trusted professional meets your cats, learns their habits and returns each visit so nervous cats settle and routines stay intact.

A personal concierge line. Direct access to your care manager for last-minute changes and travel-day coordination, backed by a private photo-and-video update after every visit.
