Dog Lovers Ready to Pamper Your Pup

Hi there! We’re lifelong dog lovers who would be thrilled to care for your furry family member. Back in South Africa, we had two wonderful rescue dogs, Johnny and Yuki, who taught us just how special the bond with a dog can be. We both grew up with dogs and have many years of hands-on experience. For over a year, we worked for a private dog sitting and boarding business, where we looked after dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Sadly, that business has since closed — but our passion for dogs hasn’t gone anywhere! While we both work full time, we aren’t able to adopt a dog of our own right now. Dog sitting lets us continue doing what we love: giving dogs lots of attention, affection, and care. We would love to welcome your dog into our home and make sure they are happy, relaxed, and well looked after while you enjoy your time away, stress-free. We can’t wait to meet your pup!

Doggy Day Care • mai 21, 2026

We had a fantastic experience with Hayley! She was incredibly flexible with our last-minute changes and went above and beyond to make sure our dog was well cared for. It’s obvious she genuinely loves animals and has a real talent for making dogs feel comfortable and happy. Hayley is professional, caring, and attentive, we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We’re really happy with her service and would book again. Highly recommend!

Cannot rate Hayley and Kevin enough. They looked after our border collie Lily as if she was their own whilst we went on holiday . We had regular updates with photos, and Lily seemed very relaxed and happy when she got home to us. Thank you both again ❤️

Our dear Riley was so content when we collected him after his day with Hayley and Kevin. He was clearly treated with love and as part of the family. Riley will be visiting again soon for a weekend sleepover and we feel completely confident and happy leaving him in their capable and caring hands. We definitely recommend Hayley and Kevin. Thank you so much! 💛✨🐶✨💛

Hayley and her husband Kevin are amazing dog sitters. Our dog Margo stayed with them for the weekend and she had the best time. They were kind, patient, loving and gave her such a lovely time, it was like she was on a holiday. They really love dogs and we're absolutely perfect with Margo. We'll be using them again and we highly recommend them.

Schedule

We both work full time; however, Kevin is out and about during the day, while I am based from home. This allows me to provide a consistent, attentive, and calm environment for your dog throughout the week. I genuinely enjoy having a dog by my side during the working day and am very happy to welcome a pup as my “work-from-home colleague.” Your dog will have regular company, supervision, and plenty of attention, with a balance of relaxation and engagement tailored to their needs. We offer evening sleepovers, weekend stays, and weekday care, with the reassurance that your dog will not be left alone for extended periods. Our home provides a safe, comfortable, and dependable setting where your pet will be cared for as if they were our own.

Safety, trust & environment

We have a fenced in yard that your pup would have as much access to as they want other than that they would be inside with me snuggling on the sofa or playing chase with Kevin. We live near a number of great walking trails so there will be lots of chances for a good sniff and to stretch all of our legs.

A typical day

I love spending quality time with the pets I care for and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while they’re away from home. Depending on their personality and energy level, I’ll take them on lovely walks in the local area, play games like fetch or tug-of-war, and give them plenty of cuddles and attention. If they enjoy mental stimulation, we can do enrichment activities like treat puzzles. For more laid-back dogs, I’m happy to chill out with them, or let them nap in a cosy spot by my side. I would tailor activities to suit your dog’s needs and preferences, so they feel right at home.

It’s really helpful to know as much as possible about your dog before they come to stay. This includes their daily routine, energy level, feeding schedule, medical needs, and any allergies. I’d also like to know how they are with other dogs, people, and new environments, as well as any behaviours to be aware of—like separation anxiety, chewing, barking, or guarding. Let me know what comforts them, what commands they know, and anything that helps them settle in and feel safe. The more I know, the better I can make their stay happy and stress-free.
