About Poochy Pets
Hi, I'm Laura, proud owner of Poochy Pets!
My love of animals started at a very young age, saving baby birds, being responsible for a little hamster at the age of 3, really taught me a deep innate understanding of these little souls. I became vegetarian at the age of 10 and my love of animals continued to grow.
Meeting a special dog, Birdie, taught me that there is a word for the way I treat animals and the way my sitters treat them. Being fear and force free means we don't cause the pets any fear and we don't force them to do anything.
Watching body language and trying to understand what pets need from us to feel safe and happy and loved is at the core of how we do things at Poochy Pets.
I've created this little but growing company to reflect these core values I hold in my heart and I know your babies will feel that love and respect from us. Xx

Ben
Hey, I'm Ben. Having grown up around pets and animals —including dogs, cats, chickens, snakes, lizards, turtles, and even a baby goat for a while — I’ve developed a meaningful connection with animals and nature as a whole.
I have two beloved pets at home: Molly (a black Lab) and Shadow (a black cat). I believe animals deserve endless love and treats!
Linda
Hi, I’m Linda. I’ve always had a deep love for animals . . . they’re honestly my favourite kind of people. There’s something incredibly special about the way they love us without question, and how they bring joy with just a wag or a purr.
I feel lucky to spend time with such loyal, loving souls. ❤

Anché
Hi, I’m Anché!
I grew up on a farm surrounded by all kinds of animals, so I’ve been a lifelong animal lover.
Since moving to Ballito, I couldn’t bring my farm family with me, so pet sitting is the perfect way to share cuddles, belly rubs, and tail wags with other pets, because life is just paws-itively better with furry friends!
