About Leanne & how GoingAway was created


Leanne was Born In Cape Town 0 to 6 years old, and then moved and lived in East London from 6 to 12 years old, then Matriculated in Johannesburg. My first job was at Lion Park with Kevin Richardson (The Lion Whisperer) in 2000 where I looked after Lions, Cheetah , Caracal, Brown & Spotted Hyena, Black Backed Jackal, Giraffe, Black Leopards, normal Leopards, Jaguar and white lions for just over 5 years of my life, it was the best years for me, as I was always an animal person but this just added to my huge love for them. GoingAway was then established by Leanne Burger in 2005 during my time in Cape town. It started with walking dogs and then lead to house sitting & feeding. Leanne was also interviewed on the 26 October 2005 by the Cape Argus and Greenways newsletter regarding the walking and my life with the lions. At a later stage she relocated back to Johannesburg and continued GoingAway in the big city. After Johannesburg she worked at Thorny Bush Lodge in Hoetspruit as an Front of House/Receptionist and then she moved to Ingede Lodge in Welgevonden as Lodge Manager and lastly Leanne ended up in Grahamstown at Indwala Game Lodge as a Lodge Manager/Trainee Chef. Leanne then decided to move back to East London where she finally met my husband Gregg Burger, and she started GoingAway up again in 2010, and this is where Goingaway grew its wings and expanded beyond my wildest dreams. Leanne has also worked for the East London SPCA for nearly 2 years. So even if you have a Lion, Leanne can look after that too! House and pet sitting is quite a new thing in SA, but people are warming up to it, and in the last 7 years Leanne has personally seen the huge growth in this type of business in Johannesburg and Cape Town. "I believe that our pets and home must be cared for while we are away for anything being a holiday, to an emergency or for business. I have personally hand pick each of my sitters. I have been doing this now for over 11 years and have learnt so much and can honestly say we are Specialists in this field with confidence. I set very high standards for GoingAway and my Team. I would not be here if it was not for my amazing Team, they really are the stars and pillars of this business!"

A cat's Jacobson'sorgan, also known as the vomeronasal organ, is a sensory organ that helps cats detect chemicals in the air. It's located in the roof of the mouth, just behind the upper incisors.

How it works

Detects chemicals

Jacobson's organ detects chemicals, including pheromones, that other olfactory cells in the nose can't.

Communicates with the brain

Nerves in the organ lead directly to the brain, which helps cats analyze the chemicals.

Flicks scents to the organ

Cats collect scents in their mouth and flick them up to the organ with their tongue.

Causes a facial expression

When a cat uses its Jacobson's organ, it curls its upper lip and opens its mouth slightly, which is called the Flehmen response.

What it's used for

Breeding: Jacobson's organ helps cats identify pheromones from other cats, which helps them determine if a mate is available.

Finding milk: Newborn kittens use their Jacobson's organ to find their mother's milk.

Other animals with Jacobson's organs

Snakes, lizards, mice, rats, elephants, cattle, dogs, goats, pigs, and giraffes.

Interesting ..... do your research

NO UNWANTED LITTERS, we all agree with that goal; it's the surgical technique that should be reevaluated. Hysterectomy and vasectomy can be performed as early as 8 weeks of age with no negative side effects, rendering dogs sterile AND hormonally balanced.

“Eggshells are rich in calcium carbonate, about 800 milligrams! And the slippery membrane that lines the inside of the shell is loaded with collagen, elastin, protein, hyaluronic acid, glucosamine, and chondroitin, which provide fantastic joint support. Supplementing with eggshell membranes has even been shown to reduce joint pain by 72.5 percent.” - The Forever Dog LIFE

Eggshell membrane, a natural byproduct of the egg industry, has gained significant attention as a valuable source of bioactive compounds with therapeutic potential. The key proteins in ESM (Eggshell membrane) play a fundamental role in cartilage health (1). While collagens provide tensile strength to the extracellular matrix (ECM) of cartilage, glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) such as chondroitin sulfate and hyaluronic acid (HA) help maintain hydration and elasticity (2).

Furthermore, collagen types I, V, and X, elastin, and various growth factors included in ESM are critical for supporting cartilage repair (3). These properties make ESM an attractive candidate for promoting cartilage repair, especially in degenerative conditions like osteoarthritis (4). Similar to humans, dogs experience osteoarthritis, where chronic inflammation triggers oxidative stress, causing chondrocyte death, cartilage breakdown, and degradation of the ECM, ultimately leading to joint degeneration (5). Eggshell membrane has been shown to decrease pro-inflammatory cytokines and improve joint health in animal models and human studies, making it a popular ingredient in dietary supplements (6).

Benefits of walking your dog:
1. dogs love to get out and smell the news paper on the polls
2. good for the nails as it wears them down naturally
3. gives your dog a chance to release excess energy
4. great bonding time with your pet

ADVENTURE DIARIES OF A PET SITTER SOPHIE & NINA #2 Ms. Sophie does not love to eat 😅 Again, the perfect yin to her yang, Ms. Nina REALLY loves to eat 😂 This has often led to creative means of enticing her to eat: sitter pretends to eat the food, sitter pretends to call the neighbour's cat to eat the food, sitter sprinkles cheese on the food (Mom's orders), sitter resorts to tears and begging on her hands and knees (just kidding, sort of🫣). Let us not forget keeping Ms. Nina at bay after she's flattened her's in two ticks. Point being, we'll always make EVERY effort to keep your animals happy, you don't have to doubt that.
