    Walks and Play time

    You can't always predict a super busy day at work, but you can anticipate your dog's needs. Instead of rushing home at lunch, book a dog walker to give your dog a 30- or 60-minute dog walk. Your dog walker can stop by as many times as you need—on whatever days you need them.

    Provide Additional services

    It really depends on what you ask your sitter to do. With us you can expect them to stay at your home so that your dog has overnight care. In general, dog sitters will keep your dog company while providing all the basics – such as feeding, grooming, walking and spending quality time together. If your dog has any special requirements – for example needing medication or extra training – this is something you should discuss with your sitter. Often the sky is the limit for our sitters, but it's always important to make sure everyone is comfortable.

    ROBYN Ingham Shorrock

    Founder and Godmother

    Certified Petsitter

    Robyn left South Africa and her very hectic retail advertising life behind in Cape Town as a graphic designer. In 2019 she started a whole new chapter in life by moving to the island of Mauritius. Upon arrival it was clear she had to reinvent herself. That, on top of the unscheduled Covid 19 worldwide pandemic created an even greater challenge on two fronts. For one, economies were going into rapid decline, so little if no spend by companies on corporate identity and design and secondly with lockdowns in place, certainly no demand for pet sitting. However, through sheer perseverance, Robyn sat it out, consistently providing solutions where possible. As Mauritius slowly reopened more and more inquiries came in. IslandFurbabies was bourn and has seen a steady growth in bookings and been acquiring new and repeat customers. in short, good affordable design along along with happy pets makes for even happier customers.

    James Olivier

     

    Certified Petsitter

    Allow me to introduce myself. I am an individual with an immense love and passion for dogs and cats. Dogs hold a special place in my heart, and I have dedicated myself to their care and well-being.

     

    One of my greatest strengths lies in my ability to form deep connections with dogs and cats. I find immense joy in spending quality time with them, observing their behaviors, and truly understanding their unique personalities. This genuine bond allows me to establish trust and create a nurturing environment where dogs feel safe and loved.

     

    When it comes to training, I pride myself on being an effective and compassionate trainer. I understand that each dog is unique, and I take the time to assess their individual needs and learning styles. Patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement are the cornerstones of my training approach. I believe in empowering dogs through encouragement and rewards, creating a harmonious partnership between human and canine.

     

    Beyond training, I prioritize the overall well-being of the dogs & cats under my care. I ensure they receive ample exercise, mental stimulation, and a nurturing environment that promotes their physical and emotional health. I go the extra mile to provide a loving space where dogs or/and cats can thrive and feel genuinely cared for.

     

    In summary, my deep love for dogs & cats, combined with my ability to form strong bonds and my effective training techniques, sets me apart as a caring and knowledgeable individual. Dogs & cats bring immeasurable joy into our lives, and I am dedicated to reciprocating that joy by giving them the best care and attention they deserve.

    Reiki Healing for Pets

    Reiki Healing for Pets

    Mauritius
    The practice of Reiki could be described as a combination of massage and meditation combined. It’s a process of acknowledging the body by simple, gentle placement of hands on different chakra points and focusing the mind on positivity and peacefulness. Today, more and more veterinarians are adding Reiki to what they can offer patients. Because Reiki seeks to heal the whole animal, physically and emotionally, it’s considered a holistic practice. Reiki can be practiced at home or you can take your pet to our professional healer.
