    House sitting in Cape Town

    Do you go all silly for sweet animals? Would you like to explore Cape Town for free? Then try house sitting in one of the friendliest cities for travellers. 

    The awesome animals of Cape Town need you! Keep them company while their owners are away and stay in great places without spending a rand. You'll enjoy free accommodation in Cape Town with precious pets! House sitting jobs are the perfect way for pet lovers to experience Cape Town's exquisite landscape, whether it’s wine tasting in Constantia, taking a walking city tour through the Company Gardens or surfing the famous swells of Muizenberg. 

    The surfing capital

    Muizenberg offers some of the best house sitter jobs on the planet if you're a waterbaby. Surfer's Corner enjoys some of the best breaks for new and experienced surfers alike, and the town is also famous for its dog-loving residents. Let Fido play with local hounds at Zandvlei Estuary Nature Reserve or the off-leash beach. Once you've worked up an appetite, head to Joon: the most dog-friendly restaurant in town. House sitting in Cape Town comes with a bowl of water at every second shop, so walkies are always fun. 

    Mountain hikes

    Cape Town house sitting tours will expose you to some of the most spectacular hiking trails in the world. Head to Silvermine Nature Reserve if you want to see the ocean from up high. There are several easy spelunking trails from Ou Kaapse Weg. Table Mountain is Cape Town's most iconic landmark, and it’s easier to walk than you might think. Beginners are welcome, especially if they have wagging tails. 

    Coffee tasting

    You've probably heard that Cape Town house sitting should always be accompanied by a Groot Constantia wine tour, but the city is also world-famous for its coffee. The Telegraph has listed Truth as one of the world's best coffee shops, so if you've always wanted to discover your inner caffeine connoisseur, this is your city, particularly if you're looking after a dog in Cape Town. The Steampunk roasting specialist welcomes dogs and so does the spectacular Origin Coffee. 

    Bo-Kaap walking tours

    If you're the kind of Cape Town house sitting traveller who adores quirkiness and bright, happy colours, the Bo-Kaap welcomes you. This heritage-rich, multicultural area is drenched in history and full of spirit. Your new doggy friend will love meeting the locals, and you can even buy some African trinkets at the nearby Greenmarket Square. 

    Simon's Town Docks

    Simon's Town is a day-tripper's paradise when you're looking after a cat in Cape Town. Its gentle docks make standup paddleboarding easy. Pack a picnic and visit the famous penguin colony on Boulders Beach. The cove's gentle, shallow waters are perfect for nervous swimmers. Snorkellers on Cape Town house sitting trips will spot plenty of marine life beneath the docks, which local pooches adore for practising their doggie paddle.
