Doggy Daycare
Doggy daycare resolves the stress that your dogs’ feel when left home alone. By attending daycare, they no longer experience separation anxiety and loneliness, but rather enjoy their time away from home. Owners need not worry about their dogs or their homes as doggy daycare eliminates destructive habits such as zoomies, chewing and barking.
All aboard the Dogwarts Express!

Sleepovers
Going away and not wanting to kennel your pups? Never fear, Puppins is here! Mary Puppins pride ourselves on our unique offering of a home-away-from-home experience. We provide not only a safe and comfortable home for your dogs, but also a space where your dogs will be excited to go to and sad to leave. Dogs play in the garden, get taken out on daily adventure walks and sleep inside the house. No cages or pens, they are free to enjoy themselves as they would at your own home.
Owners have the choice between having their dogs come stay at the Puppins Palace, the home of our daycare and founder Ivana, or to our other loving boarding homes in Sea Point, Pinelands and Table View.
To board with us you must book a trial day well before the dates your pup will be staying over. The trial day is R200. This applies only for new doggy clients.
Check in after 7:30am, check out by 10am (an extra day fee will be charged for checking out later in the day)

House sitting
Prefer to have your pets looked after in the comfort of their own home? We have a team of amazing women who will look after them like their own children. Our sitters are reliable and respectful as we understand that clients place a lot of trust in us when we have access to their homes.
The sitter is not required to be there 24/7 (you can request this at an extra cost) but is required to sleep there, take the dogs on daily adventure walks and spend a large portion of the day with your pets, not leaving them alone for more than 3 hours at a time.
