About The Homesitters

Because a house isn't just a place, it's your peace of mind. We're The Homesitters, a small, trusted group of friends who believe in one simple idea: when you're away, someone you trust should care for the things you love most.

Who We Are

Founded by five close friends who value honesty, connection and care: Marcel Serfontein, Dylan Botha, Megan Wolmarans, Lizelle Serfontein, and WG Kotzee. Each of us is a dedicated homesitter, no strangers, no outsourcing, no rotating staff. When you book with us, you get us.

We started The Homesitters after seeing how many people needed someone dependable, not just to feed pets and water plants, but to truly look after their home with care and presence.

Why We Do This

We know your home is more than walls, it’s memories, love, and comfort. And your pets? They’re family.

That’s why we’re committed to house sitting that goes beyond checklists. We bring the personal touch, the friendly face, and the peace of mind that homeowners deserve.
