Meet The Owner

TRUST ME TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR HOME & BELOVED PETS

Hi, I’m Erna, the heart behind Pawprints and Porchlights. After 35+ years in the corporate world, I retired and adapted to the magic of coastal living. This where I discovered my true passion for providing trusted and sophisticated house and pet sitting services to Ballito residents. My learnings from corporate guarantee a sound level of professionalism whilst my deep love for animals ensures your home and pets are in the best hands while you’re away.

RELY ON ME FOR TOTAL PEACE OF MIND WHILE YOU ARE AWAY

From maintaining your home’s upkeep to ensuring your pets enjoy long walks, nutritious meals, and plenty of cuddles. I am here to keep everything in perfect order while you’re away.

WHAT MAKES MY SERVICE DIFFERENT?

Since retiring, I’ve gained over a decade of experience in house sitting, pet care and Airbnb management in Ballito, I bring a level of expertise and commitment that is hard to find. Having had pets my entire life, I understand the deep bond you share with your furry family members. I’m not just a sitter—I’m someone who genuinely loves and cares for animals as if they were my own.

What truly sets me apart is my reliability, trustworthiness, and strong communication. I keep you informed every step of the way, ensuring you have peace of mind while you're away.
