Tessa
Providing Pet Sitting in the De Waterkant, South Africa
Energetic couple, now with time on their hands and keen for adventure
It was a pleasure having Tessa and Duncan sit for me and Sam. Their communication and responsiveness before the sit was brilliant, and made me feel very at ease that they would look after Sam and the house well. During the sit they sent me regular updates of Sam looking happy and relaxed and well cared for, and the house was immaculate in my return. Thank you Tessa and Duncan, it was a perfect sit.

Providing Pet Sitting in the De Waterkant, South Africa
If your pets could rate us, like on Uber, we would have a 4.99 rating.
I am so thankful I found Marguerite and Roy through this platform. They were exactly what I needed to feel at ease about leaving my slightly anxious pup while away for work. They took the time to stop in for a meet and greet before the sit, and that made all the difference as well. They kept me in the loop daily, with messages and cute little videos. I know Meg Ryan had a great stress-free time with them. My apt was just as I left it, and they went above and beyond to wash the sheets and towels, and made up my bed for me before they left. I can not wait to use them again, and hope we both have future dates that align to make that a reality!

Adventurous couple wanting to travel our beautiful world! Also we love doggies!
Jaco and Michelle were fantastic house/pet sitters…. The dogs loved them and they gave them plenty of attention.. the house was in good order and the bunch of flowers is appreciated!!
Lauren
Providing Pet Sitting in the De Waterkant, South Africa
Passionate Pet Sitter & Travel Enthusiast
We really got lucky when we accepted Lauren after a relatively short video call. We met her after that (and before the sit started) when she made an effort to overnight our area so we could all get to know one another. She communicated extremely well, was warm yet professional, cared deeply and genuinely about our doggie (and about us!), and was a huge help and resource to a family that came to stay in our other home from overseas. It was their first time in S. Africa, and she did so much to welcome them, help them settle in, trouble shoot things in the home-- as well as in their travels. Lauren spent an additional 2 nights-- the first when we did not make it home on time due to flight cancellation, and the next when we finally got home, but it became too late to be on the road. These were ongoing last minute changes (more than one) and Lauren took it all in stride. Lauren also communicated health concerns to us about our dog, took her to the vet when she had a troublesome wound, and made sure she could comfortable get up and down the stairs with her arthritis. On walks, the stiffness is forgotten, and Lauren kept up so well on free range beach runs. She did not hesitate to take our doggie along to the cafe and to social events, and even got her some luxury birthday treats. We have other sits coming up, arranged before we met Lauren, and I can only hope they go so well. If not, I feel reassured that a back-up might be close by. Huge thanks to Lauren

Truly wonderful to have James and Jenny to stay. Their care and kindness truly put my mind at ease knowing my pup was in the best hands!!
Carla
Providing Pet Sitting in the De Waterkant, South Africa
Adventurous Animal-lover looking to be your Trustworthy Traveller.
Carla came to our home in Italy for 3 weeks with her friend Jana. They were the perfect sitters. Very organized, self -sufficient and gave us regular updates. Carla was very attentive when I voiced my concern for our older dog who is nearly 15. Even though she is in good health I was still concerned being so far away but the girls gave me assurance she would get extra attention and she did! Would definitely recommend Carla to sit and would welcome her back anytime.
Jane
Providing Pet Sitting in the De Waterkant, South Africa
Happily married couple who will lovingly care for your home and pets
Jane and John were really fantastic, not only did they give our boys a great time, they had the job of taking care of Sam after a small operation on his foot, he was well cared for. They left the place clean and tidy and cooked us a lovely meal on our return. Please come back soon.........
Jenny
Providing Pet Sitting in the De Waterkant, South Africa
A desire to travel to new places and combine it with our love of animals.
I was fortunate to meet Jenny and Nigel on two occasions. They are delightful people and most importantly Barnaby, my dog, seemed to like them! I was confident leaving the house and dog with them. When I got home the house was immaculate and Barnaby seemed content. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending them.
Andrew

Active retired British couple residing in South Africa
Ann & Andy were simply fantastic. Our cats were clearly not only well cared for but genuinely very happy and content in their company. They were excellent in all respects and we are so very grateful to them!

Providing Pet Sitting in the De Waterkant, South Africa
I'm a dedicated animal lover with lots of time & energy for your wonderful pets.
Richard agreed to come one day earlier to our home to have enough time to explain everything. We had immediately the impression to be with a friend and spent a very nice evening together. During his stay everything went very well. He informed us regularly that everything was fine and after our return we found our house very clean and tidy. We recommend him warmly as your future housesitter.

We were very lucky to have had Nia for our recent house sit. She communicated well before the sit and arrived as planned. We shared a meal before we left which gave us time to get to know her and tell her about the house and our pets. After we left it soon became clear the cats loved Nia and the attention she gave them. We were kept informed throughout her stay with regular updates and video clips of what they were up to and how the garden was growing etc. We highly recommend Nia as a pet/house sitter and we would certainly have her back should the opportunity arise. Thanks again Nia
Joel and Esme
Kathy and Ron have sat for us several times in the past and have always been excellent. They are our "go-to" pet and house sitters and we always check their availability before we post a sit. They are trustworthy, organized, communicate very well, and take great care of our cats and our house. We hope they will continue pet sitting for many years to come!
Meghan
Kristi was an absolutely incredible sitter -- I think our favorite one ever! She was easy to communicate with, kind and personable, and took great care of our pets and our house. It was the first time we had left both our dog and our cat with a TH sitter and Kristi went above and beyond. She was very self-sufficient but provided fun updates and pictures and our pets loved her. Highly recommend!
Tonya
Kira was the best sitter we have ever had! I chose Kira because of her reviews, ability to sit during the dates I needed and willingness to communicate with my daughter/neighbor who co-parents Colby with us. I am always a bit anxious about having someone in my home and trusting them with our fluffy son. Kira put us at ease almost immediately. I received photos and videos everyday throughout the stay. I got updates on Colby’s activity and the fun they were having together. My heart felt full knowing that Colby was being well loved and cared for. Additionally, Kira was so kind to keep us posted on any deliveries that arrived at the house. Finally, when I arrived home, the house was tidy and clean! Again, I am so grateful that Kira was there keeping the house and my cat safe! I hope she will come back and sit again. I know Colby would love to see her again.
joby
Amanda is truly our trusted sitter "find"! She comes back regularly, so much so that our kitties think she is their secondary owner! Always reliable, clean, responsible and most of all loves our cats as much as we do! Good communicator, self reliant - all in all a perfect "10"!
Olivia
Someone was smiling down on us when Kevin and Mary clicked on our very first House Sitter advert. They are straightforward, pleasant, reliable and fun. They kept in touch about their own plans when their flights were delayed. They tactfully left the house when our own cancelled flights meant we were staying a few hours longer than first planned. They sent just the right amount of photos, videos and texts of our cat while we were away! We all loved that. And on our return, oh my word, the house fairies had been to visit! They somehow managed to walk the perfect line between improving everything, without interfering at all. Clean, tidy, replenished. They asked what food we’d like on our return and boy did they deliver! Home made bean stew :-) and different things for the children. Really kind and generous. Communication was clear and also witty..! They dealt with the churn of small mammals our “somewhat independent” cat brought through the flap without complaint. They are a really nice couple, exuding a lovely American warmth and charm. It was a real pleasure, Kevin and Mary, thank you.

Wow, what a find Justin is! I feel as though I won a lottery. As I was revelling in the communication we were having during his stay, I looked over his profile and realized either that he had updated it during his stay OR I never even read it. I was so impressed with his initial application that described multiple stays taking care of cats in Turkey that I knew he was going to be a great choice. So I'm not sure that I even read his profile or reviews. Turned out...he was more than I could have EVER hoped for. Justin is VERY organized and clear with his communication. Just as--or maybe more--important, he is a poster child for what zeewoi can be: more than just an economical way to get a pet sitter or a place to stay. Justin embraces the barter economy and the opportunity it presents to get to know people. Although we only met the day that I turned the house and my 2 cats over to his care, we had delightful communication throughout his stay. He wanted to be sure he was providing the right care to all living and non-living elements of my home as well as just chat beyond what we'd had an opportunity to cover when we were face to face on the handoff day. Bottom line: I'd have Justin back even if I wasn't going anywhere! I've met a friend. And my neighbors did as well! Oh yes, and my two cats were well looked after, the house was in ship shape, and Justin was able to brief the next sitter in person (I'd had to extend my time away and Justin already had another commitment). To say I felt confident leaving my pets and home in Justin's care is an understatement. Justin is a real adventurer and believer in the power of both human and animal connection. Without a doubt, I would recommend him as a sitter...and a friend! Thank you, Justin for a great example of how to wrestle so much more meaning out of zeewoi.

Kathy and Ron arrived at our home with a most fantastical toy for our cats and a giant apple pie. Need I say more? They are very experienced sitters and brought personal items that they prefer. We knew we were leaving out cats in good hands. A large part of their 'job' was hand watering our garden and Ron took that in stride. Everything is thriving. Our cats are usually distant with new people but we received photos of them keeping Kathy and Ron company in various situations which was reassuring. They clearly won our cats over. Although Ron and Kathy had a ferry to catch on their last day, they took time to wash their linens and hang them on the clothesline. They also left us a gorgeous plant for our garden. We would very much like to have them back for a longer sit if possible.
Joanne
Catherine was a wonderful sitter for our 17 year old cat Zabba. She sent us pictures twice a day and kept us informed about Zabba’s daily activities. We came home to a clean home and would definitely recommend her as a pet/ house sitter. My only concern was that she doesn’t drive and with an older cat, I just prayed that Zabba didn’t need to go to the vet…. And he didn’t 🥰. We will ask her again for sure.
Nancy
Kristi was an exceptional house / pet sitter and we appreciate her being so flexible as were not sure how long our vacation was going to be. She was prompt, courteous, and even drove up the weekend before to meet with us. She took great care of our house and our dog snd cats loved her. I would highly recommended her.

SUPERWOOF Dog Hotel & Daycare | Foreshore
Recent Reviews:
A massive thanks to the incredible Superwoof team for taking such good care of my little girl. I have been taking my Beagle pup for both day-care and overnight stays, and they have exceeded every expectation I had. From the seamless drop-off and collections, to the video footage that they share throughout the day of your pup living their best life. I would highly recommend Superwoof to everyone!
I'm so grateful to have found this amazing place! Our companion is a Yorkie so I'm super particular about where I leave him as they can be more sensitive, and this place exceeded all my expectations. Firstly, the facilities are top-notch and incredibly spacious - my pup had plenty of room to run around and play. The grounds are well-maintained, clean, and secure, giving me complete peace of mind. The staff are absolute dog lovers and treated my Yorkie like royalty! They're friendly, attentive, and clearly passionate about providing a safe and happy environment for all the furry guests. I was impressed by the individualized care and attention given to each dog, and the staff took the time to get to know my pup's unique needs and personality. I can confidently say that superwoof is Yorkie-approved! If you're looking for a safe, comfortable, and fun place to leave your companions, look no further. I'll definitely be back!
Superwoof has been absolutely amazing. Our Great Dane, Franky, is a sensitive and gentle soul with pretty bad separation anxiety, but he absolutely LOVES going to Superwoof. The team send regular pictures and updates and are always super accommodating. Honestly, a lifesaver organisation
Visiting from the United States we needed to get our pup into daycare to be fully present with our family. SUPERWOOF was quick to respond, get her assessed, and even sold Hills Science Diet on-site which was really helpful since we were running low. We loved the pictures they send us updating us on our pup and how her day was going. We visited 3 times in the time that we were there and each time we turned into the parking area our pup was yelping with excitement! Thanks SUPERWOOF for giving us piece of mind while we visited our family for the first time in 3 years!
We LOVE Superwoof! We know when we drop our dog off there that she’s in good hands and having the time of her life! They also send you photos and videos of your dog when he/she is checked in for an overnight stay which is great when you’re missing your furry friend :)
You think your dogs are happy at home? You are wrong, you will see your dog smile when they spend time at Super Woof! We had our two fur kids visit the hotel for 17 nights and they didn't want to leave. The staff are fantastic and the space is so much fun, your dog will sleep for 2 days when returning home. I cnanot praise Joanne and Bianca enough for an amazing amazing amazing product.
Bianca and the superwoof team are nothing short of incredible and they are the true superhero’s in this story. Superwoof has become our fur child’s home away from home. He loves going to superwoof. The team are so professional,loving and caring. I Wish I could give them 10 stars out of 5 as they truly go above and beyond to assist in every possible way. From booking your pup in to keeping you updated and informed they truly are the best. Thank you superwoof!!!
Brilliant doggy hotel. They are consistent in updating you and really love your dog. Couldn’t have chosen a better “holiday” for my dog. So happy with their service and so happy that I chose them to love my dog while I was away.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Super Woof is absolutely fantastic! My Dachshund loves visiting both the Seapoint and Foreshore branches. It's the perfect blend of socialisation and fun for him. The staff members are incredibly caring and trustworthy, giving me peace of mind every time I leave him there. Plus, I love receiving pictures and videos throughout the day, keeping me in the loop with all the excitement. Five stars without a doubt!
Absolutely love this place!! Super easy to book, drop off and collect. The photos + communication whilst we are away is top class! Also so thankful that they take power breeds, as many places do not! Yogi loves you guys.
Mary Puppins Doggy Daycare & Hotel, Pet Sitting & Pet Boarding
Recent Reviews:
Mary Puppins has been the best addition to ours and our pups lives. They are so attentive, compassionate and just all around great people. They’re so knowledgeable with the needs of the dogs they take care of, they send photo updates throughout the day and will answer any question or concern you have quickly and with care. We also board with them weekly and our guy is always excited when we drop him off. Each member of their staff is lovely to interact with. I can’t recommend them enough. Your dog will be in the best hands.
Mary Puppins deserves 6 star reviews. Their professionalism combined with their commitment and unwavering love for the dogs is undeniable. My boy loves going to daycare and I couldn’t be more certain that he is in the best hands when he is with the team at Mary Puppins. Thank you to the whole team for the outstanding care.
Very happy with Mary Puppins. Honestly impressed with the amount of effort put in to keeping my pup entertained, they’re always out on adventures! Our super high energy doggo comes home pretty tired after spending the day at MP and just chills. They keep us updated with pics and videos which gives us peace of mind (and a bit of FOMO). 10/10 recommend them if you need daycare/boarding for your dogs
My Mini Wire Dachshunds, Ted and Robin, just love daycare at Mary Puppins. They literally jump out of my arms in the mornings when I drop them off and they come home with a big smile on their faces. I have never had any doubt that this is the best place for my dogs as the owner is such a dog lover and has a lot of knowledge about dogs and so have all her staff members. My dogs are treated like royalty and love staying overnight as well if I have to leave town. I highly recommend Mary Puppins. It really is THE BEST doggy daycare and pet hotel in Cape Town!
Lily’s favourite day of the week is her Mary Puppins day. She absolutely loves the walks and adventures and we enjoy receiving the videos and updates! She runs straight inside on arrival - a sign that she is happy and excited to be there. The Mary Puppins team are wonderful and I can highly recommend MP.
My little Maya has been cared for in all the ways I hoped for. As a first time dog mom, finding the right daycare was such a daunting and stressful experience, but we found Mary Puppins, and what a special place this has been! I am so grateful to all the wonderful ladies here who put my mind at ease from the very first day. Maya is happy and so are we! Thank you for being so wonderful and caring.
I think this happy little face says it all! I cannot express how amazing the Mary puppins team are! They really do love your dog as if it is their own, they send daily video and photo updates of your little pup. I even got a Mother’s Day card! Our little boy was extremely nervous when he started and has always been afraid of big dogs, but after a week he was a changed little man and now shakes with excitement in the mornings when we drop him off. You will not find another doggy day care where the staff truly adore your dogs like the MP ladies do! Would recommend to a friend 100%
What an epic team of dog loving professionals 🫶 Love the personal care, knowledge shared, and attention to detail that the team provides. The photo and video updates during the day always warms my heart. MP is a true gem. Thank you for taking such good care of my Liebe🥹🧡 Mountain walks, festive doggie snacks, dedicated down time, cuddles, and playtime… 5-STARS all the way!
Looking for a place thats like home then Mary Puppins is the home away from home. No cement cells and 1 hour walks. Dogs are made to feel at home. Set on Table Mountain with the most natural walks amongst forest and trails. My pomsky comes home every exhausted and fulfilled which is a wonder as even my long walks dont get her tired. Fantastic staff who are the perfect combination of strict and caring.
Dream come true for our Nani🦊 Marry Puppins honestly the most magical and best Doggy Daycare ever. Our Shiba loves other dogs and MP has allowed Nani to live her best doggie life. Ivana, Holly and the team are big on love, cuddles, adventures, games and nap time all round most fabulous daycare you could ever send your pup too. Highly recommend Marry Puppins🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
Poochy Coo - The Ultimate Doggy Daycare & Hotel
Recent Reviews:
The Best Doggie Day Care in Cape Town I’ve been sending my two Chow Chows to Poochy Coo since 2022, and it’s nothing short of exceptional. Chows are naturally aloof, but Craig has an incredible way with them. The mountain walks are a highlight—my dogs come back tired, happy, and content every time. They also board there when I’m away, and knowing they’re in such capable hands gives me complete peace of mind. The daycare is equally fantastic—my Chows genuinely enjoy going, which is rare for such independent dogs. Poochy Coo is more than just a service; it’s a community. Craig and his team are the best in the business, and I can’t recommend them enough.
I’m Tank the black lab and I’m here to tell you that Poochy Coo is the best daycare in the world! I get so excited that I run inside when mom drops me off. I get to play all day with my besties and they even send my pawrents videos of our daily pack walks. I had a boo boo on my eye and they made it all better by helping mommy stick to my medicine schedule while I was at daycare. Thanks poochy for the pawsome friends I’ve made!
I’ve been sending my dog to Poochy Coo for the past four years, and I can confidently say they are the best doggy hotel in Cape Town. The care and attention they provide are second to none. My dog enjoys daily mountain trail walks and playtime with other dogs, and I love seeing his adventures through the videos they share. The staff at Poochy Coo genuinely adore animals, and it’s evident in how they care for each dog. I always feel reassured knowing my fur baby is in great hands, and he always returns home happy and well cared for.
We started taking our very energetic yet nervous dog Ripley to Poochy Coo, and it is the best thing we ever did! She loves her adventures and cannot wait to get there every morning. She comes home very happy and tired. Nikki and the team are really amazing.
I was very happy with my 2 doggie’s stay at Poochy Coo. They stayed for 3 nights and I got video and photo updates off their stay. They had great fun and made some friends. When I collected them the afternoon, they were exited and happy. They were calm and relaxed when we arrived home, which I appreciated a lot. Will definitely send them again.
Hello, I’m Bia and Brittany is my mom. I started going to Poochy Coo when I was 6 months old and they had just recently opened. I can’t wait to get to school every morning to see my teachers and my friends. I love all our adventure walks where I get my exercise and enrichment. I also learn to be a great swimmer! I’m a social pup and spend the happiest day at school. I especially love Steven and David, they teach me well. Thank you Craig and Poochy Coo!
The team at Poochy Coo are amazing. It gives us the peace of mind we need that our fur baby is taken care of when we're away. He's always excited to visit! Well organised and the ultimate all-in-one service for fur baby's from lodging and day stays, to grooming and coffee :)
Poochy Coo have looked after my Jack Russell, Toby, for over 2 years now whenever he has had to board and sometimes stay for months on end. Their care and understanding and treatment of my beloved furbaby has been of the highest standard. I cannot recommend their services any higher. Thanks David and Craig.
The best dog walkers/doggy daycare in Cape Town - hands down! My pup can never wait to get to daycare and is honestly in love with the staff at Poochy Coo! They are extremely professional, friendly and always happy to help. My pup goes on the best adventures and always comes home happy and tired from playing with his mates all day.
We were extremely cautious when choosing a daycare to send our very needy pup to. We looked for a place where he could have a safe space to socialize and adventure all while being loved by wonderful humans who treat him as their own. At My Dog's House all of our expectations have been exceeded and has become our fur-child's home away from home. Craig and his passionate team go the extra mile to ensure that our little guy is ecstatic to get out of the car for daycare each morning. Highly recommended!
What a Treat Professional Pet Care
Recent Reviews:
The BEST pet sitter company in Cape Town. Mandy took care of our cats while we were on holiday. Her frequent updates made it easy for us to enjoy our holiday without stressing if our cats are doing fine at home. Their love for cats and dogs made it super obvious that they are the right people to look after our pets. Highly recommended.
Pam recently looked after our dogs Luci and Max. We got regular updates and pictures and the dogs were settled and happy when we got home. She really treated them like her own dogs. We would definitely recommend this service!
What a Treat was able to help us at the last minute again this weekend. We have used a few of their sitter and have always had a good experience. Eddie was lovely and the kitties were really comfortable with him. He kept us updated and sent lots of photos. Will definitely use him again. Thank you, What a Treat!
We recently had the pleasure of utilizing the services of What a Treat Professional Pet Care for pet sitting - the entire process was nothing short of fantastic from start to finish! From the moment I reached out to Mandy, the communication was exceptional. She was not only prompt in her responses but also incredibly thorough and helpful, guiding me through the process with ease, making the entire experience seamless and easy to follow. Initially, we were a bit nervous about leaving our puppy, older dog and home in the care of a stranger. However, any apprehension melted away after our first meeting with Pam. Her warmth and professionalism immediately put us at ease. It was evident that she genuinely cared for our pets, treating them as if they were her own. Our dogs took to her instantly, which only further reassured us that they were in good hands. Throughout our trip, Pam kept us updated with regular pictures and videos of our dogs, allowing us to relax and enjoy our time away knowing they were happy and well-cared for. And to top it all off, upon our return, Pam surprised us with hand-drawn line art of our dogs—a thoughtful and cherished memento of our first pet sitting experience. In summary, our experience with What a Treat Professional Pet Care was nothing short of exceptional. I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone in need of reliable and loving pet care. Thank you to Mandy, Pam, and the entire team for providing such peace of mind and for loving our dogs as much as we do. We eagerly look forward to utilizing your services again for our next stress-free holiday. Thank you from Storm, Bertus, Goku & Ruby!
Roxy and her team at What a Treat are just the best! I always know my fur babies will be well looked after and can go away without worrying too much. Elsabe is lovely and so attentive to our very shy cats. She updated us at least twice a day with pictures and even took care of our plant babies. Thank you, What a Treat for putting our mind at ease when we’re away.
What a treat to have found this incredible company! From the get-go it is clear that these are people who genuinely care about your pets and their well-being. Mandy looked after our puppy while I was out for the day, and I was completely at ease leaving him with her. She is very knowledgeable about dogs and has such a kind nature, our puppy immediately loved her! Highly recommend, obviously!!
What a Treat is by far the best petsitting company I have used, and I have used a few. Before finding What a Treat, I had to come home early a few times due to petsitter issues, but I now have complete peace of mind. What a Treat go above and beyond and their petsitters are fantastic, genuine and trustworthy people. I think we've probably had at least 8 different sitters from them, and have never had anything, but positive experiences. A massive thank you to Roxy and the team!
Mandy looked after our 3 fur children for just over a week while we were away. She was so loving, caring and affectionate to them. She constantly kept us updated with the cutest photos and videos and we could genuinely see our babies were happy and relaxed - having the peace of mind that they were happy and being so well cared for allowed us to really relax and enjoy our time away. Valmay looked after them for the last night, after I got our dates mixed up and was also amazing. I highly recommended What A Treat pet sitting. Both Mandy and Valmay have looked after our fur children a few times. They are amazing sitters, everything one could ask for and more!
Mandy was available at short notice to check in on our kitties and make sure they were fed and happy. As usual, it was an exceptional experience. Our boys love her.
Erin was very friendly and professional. She provided us with constant updates and you can see her passion, love snd understanding of dogs!
Bow-Wow Doggy Daycare & Sleep-over Centre
Recent Reviews:
The best doggy day care around! The Bow Wow team are so kind, caring and genuinely love what they do, which is made so clear from the moment you walk in. It's a hassle free and quick drop off/collection and they're always excited to see Bailey. I also love that they send me photos when the dogs go on a walk, makes my day every time! Thanks to Katja, Ty, Michael and the rest of the awesome team at Bow Wow for always looking after Bailey so well. It's been amazing to see her confidence growth since she started going to Bow Wow. I couldn't recommend them more!
Thank you Bowhaus for taking special care of my Shiba Inu puppy, Yoshiko. You've put all my fears to rest of leaving her with anybody else. She loved playing with Shanti and came home absolutely knackered. I found the facilities clean, spacious and secure with lots of gates to keep my pooch inside and I had no problem finding parking when collecting her- big plus in my book. I noticed that they do use the proper cleaning products (F10) what your vet would use to clean the daycare. LOVED THIS! I have a Shiba Inu puppy and they are not for the feint hearted. She is currently in her screaming phase and Claire could give me solid advice about training. Thank you to Claire and Kenny for their caring nature and allowing my special fur-kid to just be herself. I will definitely bring her for a bath/ grooming before show as well.
Bow-wow and the team there are absolutely amazing, they actually care for your Fur babies and they truly love what they do. My Boi absolutely loves it there, He gets so excited when I tell him we going to school.
Best doggie daycare around! Friendly staff who genuinely love and care for your dogs.
Great team 👏 thanks my bow loves it there 😄. Can also ask to go for a walk. …
We were so happy with the care our beloved pooch got at Bow-Wow well we were away for three weeks. We had regular updates, photos and videos of our girl having the most wonderful walks, it really made our holiday that much more enjoyable to know that she was being so well cared for. Thank you!
We have been with Bow-Wow Doggy Daycare for almost a year now, and we honestly have nothing bad to report or comment. The genuine love the staff has for all the dogs coming through their door, is not just amazing but encouraging. The staff really treat your dog as their own. The staff are also ready to give tips and advice when asked. Oh and let me not forget about the Adventure walks being offered, oh my goodness, I honestly believe that Frankie has explored and knows the Cape Town better than I do.. That's just the beginning of it, the pooches even parties, and sleepovers aren't boring. But checkout their socials for visual evidence of the fun being had at Bow-Wow.
Katja and her team at Bow Wow are the best in the business and we could not be happier that we finally found a doggy day care that we trust. We have a very anxious dog around people but the team were very patient in gaining her trust and respecting that she is not a dog that will jump on their laps, but giving her love and care from a far. They are also more focused on the dogs, enrichment activities and professional carers than trying to be a “hip” doggy day care. The facilities are also clean and in good condition. Could not recommend them enough!
All-round absolutely amazing! The team and staff and so helpful and knowledgeable about so many different breeds and animal behaviors. The space is welcoming, clean and comfortable. Having access to the staff at any time of the day, is a great add! We can check in and get videos and photos when requested! My puppy runs to the car every morning when I ask her "do you want to go to school?" LOVE LOVE LOVE!
Thank you so much Claire for looking after my fur child. This is the best doggy hotel by far! BowHaus helped us last minute for a place to stay for our boy! Amazing rates and fantastic service! We were sent updates all the time with regards to our boy and how much fun he was having. Our boy has a slight problem with other dogs but after a couple of days he was fine!, all thanks to Claire and her wonderful staff that work there. They put in a little bit more time with Cairo and showed us that he is perfect. Thanks to BowHaus for everything, you now have a client for life! Looking for a great place to take your dogs for a stay over or just doggy day care look no further BowHaus is the place for you!!! I swear by them for everything I will now be booking my dogs in every time!
Proud Hounds
Recent Reviews:
Willow absolutely LOVES Proud Hounds. He gets walked around the neighbourhood daily, plays, gets one on one attention and naps- all under the watchful eyes of the gentle, calm and thoroughly trained staff.
Baby has been coming here for over 2 months now, the staff are so caring and loving towards her. Kerry is very understanding and accommodating. Made going to work a lot easier knowing that Baby is in good hands.
The Proud Hounds team takes such good care of our pup. The owner, Kerry, is friendly and attentive, and the rest of the team is also super professional and caring. The setup is very convenient in terms of drop-offs and pick-ups, which is an added plus. Overall, we have no doubt that our dog is in great hands.
We have been with them since our dog was about 4 months, and can genuinely say he is being cared for at Proudhounds. It's clear the team really cares about animals, and the dogs are being monitored properly. Can't imagine taking my dog to another daycare Update about 2 years in. We are still with them, and are still so happy to be with Proudhounds. The team is the most professional and caring doggie daycare team I can imagine!
My dog, a 3 year old adopted Husky, leaps out of the car without so much as looking back when we get to school! The staff at Proud Hounds are absolutely fantastic and picks up on any irregularity in his behavior / health. Proud to be a Proud Hounds mom!
Kerry's always friendly presence and picking up well cared for and tired dogs at the end of the day are really what make this place amazing. The handlers coming out to greet the dogs by name in the morning puts you at ease when leaving your precious pooches in their care.
Tried other doggy daycare and our mini schnauzer definitely likes Proud Hounds the most. They have a school day just like human kids - with walkies, playtime and even nap time.
The best possible day care for your doggo! Love the team! > Update: Buster jumps out of the car running in without even looking back! Lol. Still the best option for day care or weekend stays...
Best doggy daycare in Cape Town. The owner is a sweetheart and the staff are all wonderful. My furchild LOVES going there.
Harvey’s school, perfectly situated in the city next to Wembley Square, convenient hours and best staff in the world! The hound likes it too 😉 …
atFrits Dog Hotel & Daycare Centre
Recent Reviews:
I've been taking my dog to atFrits Dog Hotel and Daycare Centre for the past three years, since he was a puppy. I can confidently say that this place is truly exceptional! The facilities are top-notch and immaculately maintained. The staff are friendly, caring, and dedicated to providing the best possible experience for the dogs. The daycare service is outstanding, with the staff keeping me updated on my dog's daily activities and well-being. The hotel's live cameras provide an added layer of reassurance, although I've never had to worry about my dog's care while he's been here. The grooming parlor is also fantastic, leaving my dog looking and smelling amazing every time. But what really sets atFrits apart is the wide range of services they offer, from 1-on-1 play and walks to vet visits, photography, and more. My dog absolutely loves going to atFrits and always returns home exhausted but happy after a fun-filled day of play and exercise. I highly recommend atFrits to anyone seeking top-quality daycare or overnight care for their furry friend. Trust me, your furbaby will thank you!
atFrits is like a second home for our bull terrier, Kobe, who has been with the atFrits team for 4 years. They were quick to welcome him into the school, and have been incredibly accommodating to his and our needs throughout our time with them. From daycare, to overnight stays, and even the one-on-one mountain walks that Kobe absolutely loves. Previously, when both my partner and I needed to travel for work, while Kobe was quite ill and had to stay at the vet for a few days, the atFrits team collected him from the vet after his stay and then cared for him as per the vet's instructions until we were home and could collect him. Their attention to detail has always been top notch, and they have often alerted us to flare ups of his sensitive skin so we could catch it early and treat it. Yannic and her team are passionate and professional and know each of the dogs in their care well. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a group of people who will love your pup as much as you do!
Here’s a big paws up to atFrits! From daycare to sleepovers, every visit is a tail-wagging adventure. I just graduated with the Class of 2024, and the love and care I’ve received from the team have been paw-some! atFrits isn’t just a hotel; it’s my second home. The friendships, belly rubs, and freedom to make a noise make it the best place ever. Thank you, atFrits, for making this schnauzer’s life so joyful. Paws and kisses, Bentley 🐾
I had an absolutely appalling experience at atFrits Dog Hotel and Daycare Centre last week, which has left me incredibly disappointed and heartbroken. On Wednesday, 16 October 2024, I took my beloved chow chow, Bear, in for a grooming session at 11AM. I’ve brought Bear here before and trusted their services, but on this occasion, not only was the service dreadful, but their customer service in response to my complaint was equally poor. Before leaving Bear, I explicitly explained that he had a few knots on his stomach but nothing that couldn’t be brushed out professionally. I also stressed—multiple times—that I did not want him shaved under any circumstances. Chow chows should not be shaved as their coats are essential for regulating body temperature in both summer and winter. At 11:39AM, I received a call from two employees, one being the groomer, asking what type of cut Bear should have done. As usual, I asked for a summer cut but reiterated very clearly that Bear should not be shaved or have his hair cut too short. When I went to pick Bear up at 2:55PM, I was devastated to see that he had been completely shaved, all over his body. My poor baby looked nothing like himself. When I expressed my shock, the groomer just shrugged, acting like it was no big deal—even when I pointed out that it was quite literally the opposite of what I had requested. What made matters worse was the complete lack of concern after the fact. I contacted atFrits immediately after leaving and was told that my complaint would be passed to the owner, and I would hear back that day or the next (Thursday, 17 October). Nothing. I followed up again on Friday afternoon and was told to give them the weekend because the owner was extremely busy. Again, no response after the weekend, and now it’s been nearly a week with no resolution. I simply wanted a refund and to move on, but this process is dragging on, causing me more frustration and dismay. To add insult to injury, Bear—who is already a nervous dog—has been acting completely different since the ordeal. He’s vulnerable, sad, not eating, and just laying around. This experience has deeply affected both of us, and I am beyond devastated. I trusted atFrits with my dog, and they not only disregarded my explicit instructions but also handled the situation so poorly afterward. I will never return or recommend this place to anyone. They’ve completely lost my trust, and it’s clear they don’t care about making things right. If I could give them zero stars I would. I have attached before and after photos below.
I can't say enough good things about Yanic and the AtFrits team! My two mini schnauzers, Billie and Harry, have been attending the daycare for the past 5 months, and they absolutely love it. From the very first visit, it was clear that AtFrits provides a safe, fun, and caring environment for dogs of all kinds. The facilities are top-notch – spacious, clean, and thoughtfully designed for dogs to play, socialize, and relax. There are plenty of areas for them to run around, and I can tell they’re always well taken care of. It’s also reassuring to know that the staff is so attentive and genuinely loves the animals. Billie and Harry come home happy and tired every day, and it’s clear that they enjoy the time they spend here. I couldn’t ask for a better daycare for my fur babies. Highly recommend AtFrits to any dog parent looking for a place where their dogs will feel loved and looked after!
Cassie, my kangaroo dog, has been with At Frits for 18 months now. Within that time, the At Frits team have become extended family. The really love our dogs and look after them with so much love and care. The whole team is always friendly and helpful and it is always a pleasure walking into reception and receiving a warm and welcoming greeting. I had unexpected health issues recently and At Frits took Cassie in, after 8pm, while I was on my way to hospital. That is unconditional help. While recouperating from my knee operation I could make use of there Fruber service to fetch Cassie and bring her home, so she didnt miss out on any fun with her friends. It is wonderful knowing I can leave Cassie in their care if I gonout in the evening and don't want her to be alone at home. Amazing. And best of all when I miss my kangaroo during the day I can check in on her on their camera system. Their shop is always well-stocked and so convenient to pick up stuff when I fetch her. Graduation week is a big deal. Yanik and her team go all out. They gifted us with amazing gift packs this year. Handwritten reports and a beautiful photo. I cannot thank this team of special and dedicated people enough. You guys are amazing, thank you x
My little dashing Zuma was only 6 months old when he first started daycare atFrits, he had severe separation anxiety and was super reactive towards other dogs. Yanic and her team constantly gave me guidance which has ultimately resulted in Zuma being more independent and interactive. He is cared for and loved, which warms my heart. We still have a long road ahead of us but I know he is in the absolute best hands! He absolutely adores the staff and all his new friends ♥️
Great service, amazing staff. My dog Maya was a guest at Frits for 10 days and she was treated like a princess. She had her own room, time to play outside and socialize . The 24h camera service in all the inside and outside spaces of the hotel is fantastic, I could check on her at any time. I highly recommend it and will use again!
We have a new puppy and although we can keep him during the day we opted to improve his socialising by using daycare. I contacted numerous places and AtFrits were the only ones to engage immediately. Allowed us to visit without any issue on a Sunday and we felt welcome. First day … I received a call, messages and video. I am really impressed with the way the staff know what puppy parents need …. I also find the daycare impeccable clean. VERY IMPRESSED with this excellent service.
I couldn’t wish for a better place for my Lulu belle to be during the day - such a safe, fun and incredible environment for our fur babies to be while we are working - thanks so much for loving our babies like we do!!
Waggy Tail Doggy Daycare
Recent Reviews:
Over the past nine years I have entrusted my dog children in the care of Jackie from Waggy Tail Doggy Daycare at regular intervals - first for a few years consecutively while setting up a new business and again two weeks ago when I had to go on a trip. One of my dogs is a little three-legged, deaf jack russel and is a very needy little lass due to her challenges. Jackie sent updates and pictures and I could see that both my little girls were calm and happy. I have known Jackie for a long time and have never come across a person with such insight into animals. She takes her responsibilities very seriously and her wise and gentle touch makes Waggy Tail a home away from home which provides great peace of mind.
Waggy Tail Doggy Daycare is the ultimate in providing your fur-child with the most caring and loving day-care and boarding environment. Jackie is committed to providing a safe, secure and stimulating environment for each doggy. Her attention to detail is meticulous and she goes the extra mile for each and every doggy entrusted in her care. If you want to have complete peace of mind about placing your fur-child in daycare, then Waggy Tail Doggy Daycare is the place you're looking for. I HGHLY recommend Waggy Tail Doggy Daycare in every way.
My dog has been at Waggy Tail for many years. It's home away from home for him. He's an anxious dog but I have peace of mind knowing he is safe and well taken care of. I often recommend Waggy Tail to others especially if their dog is not adjusting at bigger day cares. The understanding and flexibility it offers means I don't have to worry.
I left my 2 small dogs with Jackie for 5 weeks while I relocated to Portugal, It was the most stressful thing I have had to do but Jackie was amazing, I have never met a more caring, loving, knowledgeable pet sitter in my life and over the years I have left my dogs in different situations when I have gone overseas, I just regret not having come across Jackie before. We had major problems with PETPORT the relocation company I used but Jackie was amazing helping me deal with their unbelievable incompetence. She took care of my dogs as if they were here own and sent me daily video’s of what fun they were having. I cannot recommend WAGGYTAILS highly enough, I just dont know how I am going to find someone here in Portugal to live up to her standards.
I have yet to meet somebody more passionate about dogs and their care. Our dogs go 5 days a week and are extremely happy. This has become their second home. Can’t recommend Jackie high enough.
Our dog Gemma loves Waggy Tail and the adventures she goes on with Jackie. We feel very fortunate to have such loving care for her while she is at Daycare.
I can highly recommend Waggy Tail Doggy Daycare. My two pups are always happy to visit for the day or stay the weekend. Personal touch in a family home. Reasonable prices and clear rules.
Best doggy daycare in Cape Town. Both my dogs go here 5 days a week (for the past 4+ years). A home from home- wouldn't trust anyone else with my dogs. Couldn't recommend it more highly.
Jackie's gentle way with animals is truly inspiring. Maxi loves spending time at daycare as Jackie makes sure the dogs get along first before accepting new animals to the pack.
My doggo absolutely loves Jackie, she cannot wait to go to "school" in the morning. Jackie is extremely accommodating and communicative.
SUPERWOOF Dog Hotel & Daycare | Sea Point
Recent Reviews:
My Chloé has been going here ever since 6 months old and she absolutely loves it... I've never seen a child so happy to attend "school" All The staff is pleasant but Knowledge by far is her favourite. Amazing walks and great photography.
I had a very poor experience with Superwoof. They were very fast and effective to accept my booking however that booking never actually took place due to disorganisation and miscommunication on their part. In addition, when I got to the Sea Point branch the facilities didn’t seem very comfortable- it wasn’t giving comfortable, safe, intimate space for your pup. There was a dog in distress and even my dog was so scared and distressed to go in hearing and seeing the other dogs. I ended up taking my pup to absolute pets and he had a much better, much more bespoke and more comfortable experience.
Sending my dog to this daycare has been one of the best decisions. He absolutely loves his time there and has developed so much confidence. The Sea Point Super Woof team are all really amazing and you can tell they truly care about the dogs under their care. Just such a positive experience overall.
Team are so welcoming,the daycare service is amazing dogs go for walk twice and come back home tired and their grooming is majestic too 🫶🫶 …
Absolutely love this doggy day care. They go above and beyond. Sending updates of Ellie throughout the day. Taking her to the mountain or the beach for walks which is great as they change up the location. Always such a warm welcome when I collect Ellie. Highly recommend them.
DO NOT TAKE YOUR SMALL BREED DOGS HERE!!! From what I was aware I thought this was a high quality groomer, when I collected my toy Pomeranian from the sea point branch I was shocked to see that he was bleeding at the back if his neck where they had just ripped hair out, I could have done a better brush job at home, I will never return to this place and I highly recommend anyone else take this advice.
Love them! So much better than other daycares we've tried in the area.
Very friendly staff love this place

Cloud Canine has been our go-to for probably close to 5 years now. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my fur-babies. I sometimes see the walkers in the parks and mountains and the doggos are always having a blast 🤍 …
The Absolute Best dog walkers, pet sitters and doggy daycare in Cape Town 🐾 …
A Dedicated and innovative dog enthusiast who aims not only to stimulate your dog with exciting and adventurous walks and hikes but also cares for each dog like his own whilst pet sitting when owners are out of town. I would recommend his services to everyone with a canine child of their own!
My dog looks forward to his walks with Cloud Canine every day! and always comes back happier and well-exercised. The walkers are great!
Cloud Canine is the best dog walking/ sitting service in Cape Town, the team really cares about the pooches and makes sure that each and every walk is packed with adventure and fun!
Jon and his crew are the number dog walking walkers in mzanzi. Your only regret will be not having a dog for them to walk because if you live in Cape Town and own a dog then they are living on cloud canine.
My only criticism of cloud canine is that my dogs now love them more than me 😢 …
Jonathan's expertise with and handling of dogs is exceptional. Great service.
