“I have always appreciated the peace of mind which accompanies leaving my Westie with a caring person or family when going away. He is a very dear member of my family and I would not feel comfortable leaving him in kennels. I always am really impressed by how relaxed and comfortable he has become with his surrogate family when I collect him after his stay. I would recommend K9Mums highly.” Gus says: “We Westies know what we want and are gorgeous enough to get it!”
“Being able to send my miniature Dachshund Terrance to K9Mums has been such a pleasure! We always say that when I go on vacation, Terrance is going on vacation too! In fact, he has so much fun he doesn’t want to come home! He always comes back healthy, happy, and full of spunk! The ladies who have looked after him really have played the part of his mom while I am away and I will always send him to K9Mums whenever I go away!” Tarryn, Cape Town , South Africa
Susie says: Isn’t this more fun than sitting in a kennel?
K9Mums offer a unique service, which provides you and your pets with complete peace of mind. The family environment allows the pets to continue their (often too luxurious) usual lifestyle and daily routine. Our dogs Lola & Polo (5 month old puppies at the time) were left in the care of K9Mums for two weeks and they returned home happy, obedient and healthy as if they’d never left. It is great to know that when we need to get away for a weekend or holiday, we can leave our dogs in a familiar environment with familiar people. K9Mums go out of their way to make your travels pleasant and worry-free, as they should be. Their attention to detail and obvious concern for your pet’s well being is both refreshing and reassuring. Ian, Cape Town, South Africa.
Thank you for being a ‘home-from-home’ to our beloved 4-legged children! I can only recommend K9Mums to anybody who cannot bear to let their pets go to an impersonal regular kennel while they are away. At K9Mums I know that my dog, Chokkie, gets the same attention and loving care that he receives at home, his usual food and complete safety while he is allowed to sleep indoors. K9Mums are truly devoted animal lovers, allowing us to go on holiday with absolute peace of mind. With kind regards and gratitude. Joan, Sedgefield, South Africa

Thanks Michele for providing an alternative to kennels for our loved ones when we are away. It’s great to know that Milton was part of a family while I was away. It’s also a matter of finding the right fit – the first K9Mum we tried was sweet but Milton wasn’t happy there. The second lady and her kids and animals were a great fit and Milton was happy as anything! Thanks.
Milton says: “As a senior dog, I hate it when my mom goes away – it disrupts my comfortable routine no end. But when I stayed with Jenny, there was this cute little girl dog that made me forget I’m 100. We had a lot of fun and I even improved my appetite. I also nearly forgot to miss my mom!”
“We were very happy with the way “Cassie” enjoyed her holiday, while we were away enjoying ours in Italy last year July. We will definitely use your company again when the need arises.” Kim, Cape Town, South Africa
Cassie says: Life is a frizbee!
Have used K9Mums for a number of years now and would not be comfortable using any other accommodation for my precious Pug. She is treated royally and with lots of care and love. The administration of the company is first class too and I would recommend it to anyone who loves their pet/s. Best wishes. Alyson, Cape Town , South Africa
We were very happy with our little dog’s stay with your home branch in Fish Hoek a while back. Unfortunately though at 17 plus little Wags has moved on to doggie heaven and although our family tell us that there is something missing in our home we are not planning to get another pet at the moment. Good wishes. Pat , Cape Town , South Africa
We made use of your service several times in 2002 and 2003. The 2 Mom’s we used were in Somerset West. They were both very good Moms. Our dog, an old Italian greyhound, was looked after very well and made to feel part of the family. He was treated as if he was the Moms own dog. Pucci had to receive daily medication for fits and both the Moms were reliable in giving him his medicine. Pucci seemed to have adjusted well and was in a good condition physically and emotionally when we collected him. I found both of them very friendly and caring and would recommend either of them with ease. Linda Muller, Cape Town, South Africa.
An excellent foster home for a special pet who is accustomed to a family environment and attention. Noel, Cape Town, South Africa
“Hey we now have two moms!”
On a recent trip to Cape Town we needed accommodation for our two Jack Russell’s, Jack & Russell, as the hotel we were staying at for a period of our holiday in Cape Town didn’t take pets. We were so pleased to find out about K9Mums,who looked after Jack & Russell and enabled us to be flexible in taking our 2 little doggies down to Cape Town on holiday with us. On picking up J&R we found them to be happy, well fed and enjoying their own little holiday. We were so pleased we were able to find an alternative to a kennel and recommend K9Mums to anyone who needs a safe, reliable and friendly option to look after their beloved pets. Lance, Cape Town, South Africa
“My experience with K9Mums has been most beneficial for both me & Amanda, my Maltese Poodle. When I go away on business or holiday I book her in at Jenny’s for the duration. The care & attention by K9Mums has always been outstanding & is much better than kennels” Marijke, Cape Town, South Africa
The whole approach of K9Mums is very professional – a great many details about the pet are required to ensure it has a safe and happy stay – its routine, food, name of vet in case of an emergency etc. – all of which make the pet’s owner feel that the pet is in good hands. Of course an extra bonus for us was that you e-mailed us those lovely photos of Susie – it gave us such a thrill to receive them – thanks very much again. Jill, Cape Town , South Africa
Dusty says: “The postman’s been, no squirrels about, so time for my nap in the pot. I enjoyed my stay and was thoroughly spoilt! I was allowed to sleep on the bed!” Faye & James, Cape Town
