About Shuttails

At Shuttails, we are proud of how we handle, introduce and integrate our dogs into the family.

Knowing certain dogs are extremely social and companion hungry Shuttails has devoted it's days to ensuring these animals get enough exercise,attention and are exposed to other dogs in the pack.

Through dog walks we focus on the integration and socialisation of different dogs, paying close attention to the diverse behaviours and personalities of our hounds. We create different packs that are compatible in size and temperaments. Our aim is to create a consistant routine for hounds and offer them a positive outlet along with something to look forward to during the day. 

Taking advantage of Cape Towns dog friendly trails, the dogs are introduced to new surroundings that offer them an abundance of stimulation out in nature.

Our clients get to go about their daily business knowing their beloved hounds are in the care and protective hands of myself and team.

We pride ourselves as a trusted partner in bringing value to the canine community through reliability, trust and adventure all while donating a percentage of our takings to a charitable cause.

  • Loren Westoby
    Carl is by far the best dog walker in Cape Town. He very quickly became best friends with Jaxson and Bear. Jaxson had behavioural issues with other dogs before Carl, and now is confident & social around other dogs. Bear would hear Carls car coming around the corner and howl until he arrived. Highly recommended! You will not be disappointed

  • Sharon Richey
    Our beloved ridgeback Simba see's Carl's car coming up the driveway and runs to the door in eager anticipation of his daily walk with his other canine friends. Carl provides an excellent service and I'd highly recommend him.
