of mindLeave your pets safe at home with a sitter, and be welcomed back by healthy and happy pets.
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.
Quick to react
in finding solutionsIn the unlikely event that something happens, contact your services team manager. They’re available between 7am-7pm, 7 days a week.
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.

Reiki Healing for Pets
MauritiusThe 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.Select date and timeEvent time zone:Pacific/Midway GMT-11:00Book NowWedding Pet Attendant - Include Your Dog In Your Wedding
