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🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
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.
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.
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 😉 …
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!
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!
Shaun was a gentlemen and kept the house very clean. I've never had someone leave the place cleaner then the condition they arrived at. He also took very good care of our 3 dogs and 2 cats. Great to find someone who can keep level headed in this circus. lol
Awesome caregivers. Took care of my 4 babies when we travelled abroad and left a highly pregnant Maltese in their care. Came home to 6 adorable puppies. Will use them whenever I go away.
Shaun and Deneesha are caring, conscientious and responsible. They love pets and very importantly, pets love them! They follow petcaring and homecaring instructions properly but they also have the common sense to adjust as and when needed. They are reliable, responsible and trustworthy. I am happy to refer them!
My little angels were so well taken care off.
Wonderful dog walking service. Very friendly owners.
I had a great experience and would highly recommend!
