Meet Michelle Butler, the primary pet sitter for Stellenbosch.
I did the occasional pet sit from the mid-2000s until December 2011, when I became part of the Pet Sitters Cape Town family. In December 2014 the previous Business Partner for Stellenbosch retired, and in February 2015 I officially became a fully certified Licensed Business Partner for the whole Stellenbosch and surrounding areas.
Since then, pet sitting has been my full-time profession, although doing what you love does not really count as work. When the pandemic hit, it became obvious that it made more sense to split off as a separate business. So in August 2020, we became fully independent for the benefit of the whole Stellenbosch area while continuing to provide the highest level of pet care.
While a part of Pet Sitters Cape Town, I received extensive monthly training sessions, additional courses (First Aid for Pets, Leash training, etc) and continued development of the business and pet care skills needed to provide 100% peace of mind to pet owners who leave their pets in our care. This has paid off, as I have gained hundreds of registered customers, with new customers frequently joining the ranks of satisfied pet owners. Sleep over and stay-in pet care services may need to be shared, so I frequently use other pet sitters, which I properly vet and evaluate before they join the team.
We will continue to give our best service in order to assure our clients’ peace of mind when they leave their furry family and their homes in our care.
