Building a supportive network of pet lovers across South Africa.
Tail Tribe was born from a simple problem: finding trustworthy, affordable pet care in South Africa was difficult. Traditional kennels were expensive and impersonal, while asking friends and family wasn't always reliable.
We realized there were thousands of animal lovers across the country who would happily care for pets in their own homes, providing a more personal and comfortable experience. So we built Tail Tribe to connect these two groups.
From Cape Town to Johannesburg, Durban to Pretoria—pet care you can trust, everywhere in between.
Today, we're proud to serve pet owners and sitters in cities and towns across South Africa. Our community has grown to thousands of verified sitters who have cared for tens of thousands of pets.
We maintain high standards through sitter verification, reviews, and ongoing support to ensure every pet receives excellent care.
Background checks, secure payments, and comprehensive insurance protect both pets and sitters in every booking.
Built specifically for South Africa, we understand local needs, neighborhoods, and the unique challenges of pet care in our country.
Our dedicated support team is always available to help with any questions or concerns during your booking.
