We recently used Dion from Petmind to look after our two dogs and two cats while we travelled to Johannesburg, and we couldn't have been happier with the service.

Dion stayed over each night and also looked after my father's cat for two nights during the same period. He sent us daily photos and updates, which gave us great peace of mind knowing that all our pets were safe, happy, and well cared for.

When we returned home, it was clear that our pets had been very well looked after and were completely relaxed and content. Dion is reliable, caring, and professional, and we would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.

Dion is awesome - completely professional and takes immense care in looking after our cats (and home).

We have used petminder over the last 8 years and we have never been disappointed with the service. Dion is an absolute delight to work with and we consider him part of our family. We have 3 babies and they love him to bits. Dion is warm and very professional. He communicates very well. He always keeps us updated throughout the pet sit. He also takes care of our property very well. We are very lucky to have found petminder and would highly recommend the service to anyone who is looking for a great pet sitter. More...

At the end of a taxing year, we really needed a holiday. Leaving our elderly and post-op dogs behind when going on holiday could’ve added to our stress. But thanks to Dion and family we could take that much-needed break - without worrying about our babies. Thank you - your positive impact goes far beyond pet sitting ❤️ More...

Dion is super reliable and deserves his five star rating! We have no hesitation in leaving dogs and house in his capable hands whilst away. It's less disruptive for the dogs than kennels, and Dion keeps us updated with news and photos. The dogs love him and the team! Thank you Dion. More...

I received excellent service from Dion. My dogs are quite scared cats when it comes to humans so it was a big leap to get a stranger to look after my pets, to my surprise the dogs were calm and at ease with Dion. He took great care of them and sent updates and photos each day we were away. Will definitely use his services again. More...

Thank you Dion for taking such excellent care of my furbaby and my home. I felt completely at ease for the entire 2 weeks I was away. Your daily updates were appreciated. More...

We had an outstanding experience with Dion, who looked after our two dogs as well as our home, while we were away for two weeks. He came highly recommended by a friend who has had a trusted service relationship with him for over 20 years-and we understand why.
Dion was incredibly reliable, very kind, and truly exceptional with our doggies. Knowing they were in such loving and capable hands allowed us to completely relax and enjoy our vacation. When we returned, our dogs were happy and calm, and our home was just as we left it.
We wholeheartedly recommend Petmind and Dion to anyone looking for trustworthy, compassionate pet and house care. If your pets are happy, you will be happy too-and with Dion, you absolutely will be.

I couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter! Gian and Dion looked after my cats while I was away and did an absolutely fantastic job. They were attentive, reliable, and clearly have a genuine love for animals. I came home to very happy and well-cared-for cats, and the regular updates and photos gave me total peace of mind while I was gone. Highly recommended! More...

We had an amazing experience with Dion! He took care of our dogs for five days; coming to our home to feed them, provide fresh water, and give them plenty of love and attention. It was such a relief knowing our pets were in caring and reliable hands while we were away. He kept us updated and made sure they were happy and comfortable. We highly recommend Dion to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dedicated pet sitter. Thank you so much for your excellent care! More...

Dion is absolutely incredible. He truly goes over and above what is required of him! Helping us with so much more that providing our fur babies with love, attention and freedings.

5 stars! My boy is my world, leaving him is hard at the best of times, Dion's just amazing and I would highly recommend. Having my boy is in his own surroundings makes things so much easier and puts my mind at rest. Dion gives regular updates as well as some fabulous pictures, and I'm more than sure there's plenty of hugs while I'm gone. My boy is happy and relaxed. A pleasure to work with and a very safe pair of hands for your fur baby. If you need a sitter then reach out to Dion More...

Pet Sitting

I recently had the pleasure of using Dion's (PETMIND) services while I was away on holiday, and I couldn't be happier with the care provided to my four dogs. From the moment I met Dion, I felt reassured by his professionalism, warmth, and genuine love for animals.

Throughout my trip, Dion kept me updated with regular messages, photos, and even videos of my dogs having a great time. It was clear that each of my dogs was receiving individual attention and care tailored to their needs and personalities. This level of attentiveness gave me peace of mind and allowed me to fully enjoy my holiday without worrying about my furry family members.

When I returned, my dogs were happy, healthy, and clearly well-exercised and loved. The house was in perfect order, and Dion even took care of small details like taking out my bin on collection day and watering the plants.

I highly recommend Petmind to anyone in need of a reliable, caring, and professional petsitter. They went above and beyond to ensure my dogs were well cared for, and I am incredibly grateful for their exceptional service. I will definitely be using their services again in the future!

I travel often and it’s super important to me that my dogs are well taken care of. You know when your pets were not happy - they tell you! Dion and the team from PetMind are amazing - they give me peace of mind and my dogs lots of exercise and love. More...

28 March 2024

Dion is wonderful with the animals and takes great care to get to know them as individuals. We feel very safe going away with him in charge of the two dogs and elderly cat. Importantly, we also entrust our house to him with perfect confidence. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! More...

Thank you so much for taking care of our babies. We don’t trust many people to take care of them and fortunately for us you are one of the people we do trust.

We really appreciate the professionalism and the personal touch to the service. We consider you a honorary member of the Naidoo family. Thank you

Going on holiday worrying about beloved pets takes away much of the joy of a holiday. But… I’ve learnt that I can fully trust Petmind to keep my dogs well taken care of and stimulated every day. I love how Petmind kept me informed with daily pics and maps of walking routes. I also found Petmind to be trustworthy, punctual and super responsible with my labs. More...

We regularly use Dion and PetMind to dog-sit and walk Jack, our amazing Jack Russell, for stays as long as 2 weeks. I can’t over emphasise how very impressed we (and Jack) are with Dion. He is a true professional and very friendly as well. Jack couldn’t be in better care and we are able to travel with total peace of mind. Thanks Dion and PetMind! More...

Dion and Gian are great in keeping me up to date with the happenings with my cat, as well as the times they have fed my cat.

Received excellent and very professional service from Dion. Dion is very passionate about what he does and also very meticulous. I could go on holiday with peace of mind knowing that my dog would be in safe hands and cared for just as I would care for her myself.

Receiving daily updates was very welcome and made me feel more at ease.

I will definitely use his service again and would recommend Petmind's services to anyone.

Dion is a star. Both business-like and pet aware he makes sure that everything is clearly in place from the get-go.
From the paperwork to safety and security to the pet's happiness; it's a journey of constant but unobtrusive communication. A top professional! More...

11 January 2023

I always feel guilty when going on holiday and leaving my fur baby behind. Even more so this year with my cat turning 16 and us having to make changes to his feeding. Combined with that, he doesn't do well with strangers and tends to just go hide under the bed. But leaving Dante in Dion's loving and capable hands, has helped me to take a much needed break with peace of mind. From day 1, Dante allowed Dion to stroke him and trusted him. Dion is a true cat whisperer! I believe animals can tell when someone authentically cares about them, and everything in my cat's behaviour told me that I can entrust his welfare to Dion. I'd recommend his services to anyone with confidence and will definitely continue to make use of it myself! More...

Fantastic service, it was great to be away and have peace of mind that our pets are well cared for, would definitely use this service again. Thanks very much for what you do!

Dion looked after my kitty for a few days while I was away for work in May. Leaving my animal always creates a bit of anxiety for me, however Dion was really great and sent me pictures of a very happy, well fed and well looked after animal which put my mind at ease.

I really appreciated Dion's professionalism, attention to detail and caring nature. King took to him immediately and he was very well looked after and I would use Pet Mind's services again in the future and recommend them to friends who need this service.

very friendly and helpful - came first for meet and greet - I know my 2 furbabies are quite cautious around strangers and only ate after Dion left but they did survive their first separation away from me - next time it will go better - Dion kept me updated every day with photo's and comments as to their behavior - would recommend him gladly

My family and I cannot thank Dion enough for being the absolute BEST pet sitter in the world! We have made use of Dion’s services multiple times and each time, Soldier, our Great Dane, gets so super excited when his Uncle Dion arrives, cause he knows he will be having the best time with his Uncle Dion looking after him, playing with him and going for walks with him. Dion sends regular and beautiful updates throughout his stay, and Soldier is always having a great time and living his best life. Dion goes the extra mile as he really loves animals. Dion is also a highly reliable, punctual and very neat individual. We are forever grateful and will never consider another sitter to look after our big puppy. More...
