Testimonials
Julie Denham
Sue's Date :29th August 2011 TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN Susan Van Tonder (Sue's House Sitting) did house‐sitting for us when we lived in Eastleigh, Edenvale, Johannesburg (2009/2010). Susan looked after our house and precious 4 cats and dog on several occasions. We often went on vacation or went away for a long weekend with the peace of mind that our 4‐ Legged Children and house was in good hands. Susan was not afraid to stay on her own in a big house. She is reliable and responsible and is a quiet person, a non‐smoker and a Christian of sober habits. I would strongly recommend Susan’s house‐sitting and pet‐sitting abilities to anyone. It is very unfortunate that we moved to the Cape, otherwise we would still use her services. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require any further information. I wish Susan the best of luck and thank her for her valuable work when it comes to house‐sitting & pet‐sitting. Yours faithfully Julie Denham l.Cell No. 082‐577‐7159 Email Address: julied@webmail.co.za

Yolandi Unuvar
We went to Europe for 3 weeks in September and Tyler from Sue's pet sitting services stayed with our furbabies. I can honestly say that he was just the best! We received photos twice daily and had video chats regularly. I could see how much our doggies loved him and that he enjoyed spending time with them. He really helped them stay in routine while we were away. He went the extra mile to make sure they were happy and comfortable. Our property was also well looked after and we truly had peace of mind. I would recommend Sue's pet sitting services any time. Now we can go away and have peace of mind. Thank you Sue and Tyler.

Maria Da Silva
Good evening Sue Thank you for recommending Tyler to look after my pet and house sitting while we were away for such a long period of time. We were initially worried as this was our very first time we had someone outside the family circle to look after our pet and house. Tyler is excellent. He loves pets and he is good with them. We received constant feedback with photos on a daily basis. My pet came to love him and they both enjoyed each other’s company. When we returned weI found the house tidy and clean with a beautiful note and a chocolate welcoming us back. I recommend Tyler without any hesitation or reservation. Kindly thank him on our behalf and let him know we will miss him. Kind regards Maria & Albert

Melissa / Faye & Sue
Hi Sue, yes Faye was very nice. Looks like Spokie and Faye had a good time! I would gladly recommend Sue and her team to pet sit. They cared for our 11-year-old dog Spokie with love, care and a lot of attention. I think he was quite disappointed to see Sue (and the abundance of tummy scratches) go after the weekend. ;) Melissa Tighy

Jenny Sutherland
Susan was contracted to House Sit our townhouse during the December of 2014. We employed her services because she was able to both look after our place and look after our pet, a large Golden Retriever. We found Susan to be extremely reliable and we were deeply contented with her services. Having her sitting our house gave us tremendous peace of mind whilst we were away. Being of a peaceful discourse we knew that our neighbors would not be unhappy having her staying on. She was given duty to monitor and where required maintain our gardens, which was also done. I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a house sitter She was an excellent choice and we will no doubt employ her services again.
Gina/Robert
Hi Robert I was just in the midst of emailing you! yes, we arrived home at 6:30 pm and Franny was just fine. Thank you so much, she seems very happy and well cared for! We will definitely be using your services in the future! Thank you again for taking good care of our little girl! Cheers, Gina

Hanilie & Dave Morgan/ Kelsey
Hello Sue My husband and I love our children, Shadow, Butter Boy and Tinkerbell with all our hearts, so when we decided to go away on holiday for the first time in 6 years, our biggest worry was about our kids and their welfare while we are away Both of us would not even consider a kennel, as it would have traumatized the children, somebody coming in twice to feed them was also not an acceptable option. It would have to be a full-time pet sitter that loves our kids as much as we did And this is where Sue & Kelsey (surrogate mom & dad) comes into the story. Thanks to Sue, she found us Kelsey and what a great find! Kelsey was a wonderful mommy to all our four-foots, adored and cuddled them (they need a lot of cuddling – especially Shadow and Butter Boy). She kept us up to speed with the kids, their eating habits and how they are adjusting Kelsey was a hit with all three, and the second night of her staying with us, she had all three keeping her company on the bed Kelsey did an amazing job looking after and loving Shadow, Butter Boy and Tinkerbell, allowing us to enjoy our break without worrying about our babies. She even cleaned Jackie Chan’s (our Siamese fighter Fish) bowl and replaced with clean water. Our garden is our other passion and there also we could see her commitment to doing the job right! Kelsey is an amazing person, with a wonderful touch with animals and next time we go away, we will definitely be calling on her to be the kids mommy & daddy. You rock! With Love Dave & Hanlie Morgan Cell: 083 681 6303
Cameron Pitchers / Gordon
So a big thank you to Gordan for looking after our precious pets . Two kittens are never the easiest to clean up after , but I was super impressed that the kittens area was kept clean. The animals were relaxed on our return after 10 days . Our house was well maintained . A big thank you to Gordan .
Wendy Classe/Ross
Some feedback on Ross... Fantastic! We kept in touch leading up to him staying here. He was more than punctual. Early actually, but he did not arrive unannounced. He messaged first and then came through. He listened well to the instructions re the dogs and house. It was great going away with peace of mind. He did keep in touch while we were away. Not too much, but communicated what was important, which was more than sufficient for me. Our home was neat and tidy when we returned. Dogs were very happy to see us, and looked perfectly well looked after. Thank you so much for recommending Ross. He went the extra mile and will not hesitate to recommend him, especially to people like me who have had a bad experience in the past. Happy to be a reference for him going forward and will use him again. Thank you!!
Corlia Walters/Peter
Second time using Sue' House & Petsitting. We will highly recommend them and make use of their services in the future - The Walter's . Peter
Chris & Tess De Wey / Sue
o Whom It May Concern: We have used Sue’s House Sitting Services twice now during October and again in December 2020. The owner Sue Ann van Tonder herself provided the service which was to house sit as well as to care for our two dogs – two very lively spoilt Boxers that sleep in the house as well. Sue is reliable, punctual and followed our requirements up to a T and our dogs were well cared for. We returned in December after two weeks away and it was clear to us that both dogs were in excellent health and had no signs of anxiety having been without us for 14 days. We recommend Sue as a house sitter and wish her well in her business. Regards, Chris and Tessa de Wet – familiedewet@yebo.co.za 29 January 2021.
Isa Fourie / Pieter Redelinghuys
Re: Pieter Redelinghuys I had the benefit of making use of Pieter's skills as a house sitter. He delivered his service over the Christmas period of 2020. I found this a great benefit in the time of the Covid-19 pandemic. Pieter came to meet me beforehand and I was almost immediately comforted by his calm and relaxed manner. We sat and chatted about the ins and outs of life as if he is an old house friend. I found this a clever way of observing how my dogs and I interact. That way he could assess the way I gave my dogs attention and how they respond. That's why he quickly found out what makes them comfortable so my dog children are comfortable with him coming in to deliver his service. Pieter kept me up to date regularly enough so I was able to enjoy my break away without worries about my dog children. Upon my return home, the house was clean and tidy as I have left it. My dog children were calm and happy as if I never was gone. A real good idea. Pieter delivered his services with a smile and I hope to make use of his services again in the future.
Stephanie Garcia / Desiree Seyffert
Good Morning , I trust you are well. I would just like to thank you for the exceptional service in December.

Karin / Sue
Hi Susan has an obvious affection for animals, and this was evident in the fact that my dog liked her immediately. She made an effort to accommodate my travel dates and time to ensure that there was as little impact on my dog as possible. This was the first time I’ve had to use a pet sitter and I was a little nervous. Susan was great and I can highly recommend her services. Regards, Karin
Deddie & Chis / Lucillie
Lucille was a very reliable house sitter. She looked after our house and pets for 3 weeks with no issues. She was in regular contact with updates. We can highly recommend her. Chris and Debbie

Roos / Marianne Mundell
Ross Sinclair Ross Sinclair house-sat for us for 11 days over the 2021 December holiday season. He was responsible for overseeing the house, and looking after our 3 dogs and 3 rabbits. I met up with him once before the house sitting commenced and he seemed very pleasant. He assured me he’d be on the property for the bulk of his stay, and would send updates on the animals and on any issue arising at the house. This he duly did. He also responded readily to any messages I sent. My domestic worker took over from him when she got back and said the house was neat and tidy and the animals all well. I would readily use Ross again and would recommend him as a house and pet sitter. Marianne Mundell Forest Town

Theresa Swanepoel / Tanya Peers
Theresa is both a caring and wonderful person inside and out! Theresa looked after our home and our little dog, Milo, for a week while we were on holiday. Theresa has done house sitting before and was quickly comfortable with our home and layout! She sent us a little picture of Milo every now and then, sun tanning outside in his favourite sun spots, which was for us a huge relief to see him relaxed in his home environment and well loved. We had a small issue with our alarm system and Theresa handled the situation with ease and detail, she notified us and the issue was dealt with immediately. (A problem with technical division) I would very much recommend Theresa for any future house sitters looking for a reliable, caring and diligent person such as herself! Thank you Sue Thank you Theresa for making our December comfortable and relaxing knowing our home and our little dog were safe and well cared for. Kind regards Tanya Peers
Wendy Wyeth
Wendy is absolutely a God send. She's kind, she's friendly and she is an absolute star! Really, she's the only person I trust with my fur babies and that says ALOT as they are my heart and soul. Absolutely fabulous work ethic and fastidious cleanliness. She gets my Michelin star! Angela H
