    Description

    Hi! I’m Xeno — originally from Belgium, now living in Cape Town. My partner and I share our home with a small crew of lovable animals who mean the world to us.

    We’re looking for a responsible, kind-hearted animal lover to care for our pets while we’re away. Our place is peaceful, with plenty of space and comfort, and our animals are a big part of the family — so we’re hoping to find someone who genuinely enjoys spending time with them.

    We’re easy-going, respectful, and happy to share tips about the area or help you get settled in. If you’re looking for a calm stay, surrounded by furry friends, we’d love to hear from you!

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    cozy stay in a welcoming home, lots of animal love, and plenty of free time to relax, explore, and enjoy the area. But more than that, we love the spirit of cultural exchange that Workaway is all about. We’re always happy to share stories, local knowledge, meals, and language – and we’d love to learn from you too! Whether it’s cooking a dish from your home country, sharing music or traditions, or just chatting about life, we see this as a two-way experience.

    If you’re someone who values meaningful connections, loves animals, and enjoys slow, intentional travel, we’d love to welcome you into our home.

    We mainly need someone to look after our pets while we’re traveling. This includes feeding, giving them company and affection, keeping their space clean, and making sure they’re safe and happy. Depending on your experience and comfort level, there may also be some light house-sitting tasks like watering plants, checking the post, or just keeping things ticking over.

    Our animals are family, so we’re looking for someone who truly enjoys being around pets and treats them with love and attention.

    What you’ll get in return:
    A peaceful stay in a relaxed setting, full of animal cuddles, a comfy home, and a flexible schedule. We’re happy to give local tips, help you get around, and make sure you have a great time here.

    If you’re a calm, reliable person with a love for animals, we’d love to hear from you!
