About

Built for the dogs of Cape Town, by the people who love them.

Mission

To make Cape Town the world's most connected, dog-friendly city — one playdate, walk and neighbourhood café at a time.

Vision

A future where every dog has a pack, every owner has a village, and every local business thrives on real community.

Why PawPack

Because dog ownership can be lonely, and it shouldn't be. Because our dogs deserve real friends, not just walks. Because Cape Town is too beautiful to enjoy alone.

Jocelyn Nyaguse

PawPack started with two dogs — Stormi and Sparkle — and a simple problem. Jocelyn was constantly searching for playmates for them, trawling group chats for dog-friendly cafés and missing out on events she only heard about after the fact.

She realised the whole city was doing the same thing, quietly, in a dozen fragmented WhatsApp groups. There had to be a better home for Cape Town's dog community.

So she built one. PawPack is the app Stormi and Sparkle deserve — and the one every Cape Town dog owner has been waiting for.
