Finding the right pet care isn’t always easy - especially when what you need is specific, local, or at short notice. MyPetFriends is a South African pet care platform built to help pet owners find personalised pet care from trusted, local sitters. Whether it’s pet sitting, check-ins, or ongoing care, we make it easier to connect with people nearby who genuinely care about your pets.
We built MyPetFriends because pet care isn’t one-size-fits-all. Too often, finding pet care means scrolling through neighbourhood groups with no clear outcome. By focusing on trusted, local sitters, MyPetFriends helps pet owners find personalised care so pets can stay comfortable in familiar spaces.
MyPetFriends is built for pet sitters who want flexible, meaningful work close to home. From dog walks and daytime check-ins to short-term pet sitting, you can offer the services that suit you, in your own neighbourhood, and on your own terms.
From dog walking and check-in visits to everyday, in-home pet care, MyPetFriends makes personalised, local pet care simple and flexible. We help connect pet owners with nearby pet sitters, so pet sitting and day-to-day care fit naturally into real routines and everyday life.
Connect with trusted, local sitters in your community who genuinely care about pets. Each sitter has a profile you can review, helping you find personalised pet care that feels right for you and your pet.
Your pet stays comfortable in a familiar home environment, whether that’s their own home or a nearby sitter’s. It’s pet care that prioritises comfort, routine, and peace of mind.
Chat with sitters directly on MyPetFriends, send and accept booking requests, and make secure payments - all in one place. No awkward coordination, no chasing payments, just a smoother experience from first message to final goodbye.
MyPetFriends is currently free to use while we validate that a trusted, local pet care marketplace is genuinely useful for pet owners and sitters.
If you make a payment through the platform, a small third-party payment processing fee may apply. This fee is charged by our payment provider, not by MyPetFriends.
As MyPetFriends grows, we may introduce a small platform fee in future. If that happens, we’ll always communicate it clearly and in advance.
You can sign up as a sitter by creating a profile on the MyPetFriends Become a Sitter sign-up page and sharing a few details about yourself, your experience with pets, and the type of help you'd like to offer. We'll be in touch to verify your identity, and once your profile is set up, pet owners can start reaching out to you.
MyPetFriends is in an active beta phase as we continue refining the platform with our community. Joining is free, and bookings are processed securely through our trusted third-party payment partner, who applies a small processing fee.
