The Best Boarding Facility in Johannesburg, Muldersdrift area.
At Global Paws, we’re fortunate to have a close and trusted partnership with Snowpine Kennels and Cattery, located in Muldersdrift, Johannesburg. In fact, Global Paws operates directly from their premises, creating a seamless and convenient experience for pet owners preparing for travel.
Owned by Michelle Emin, Snowpine has been a family-run haven for pets since 1994. Together with her late husband, Chris, Michelle poured her heart into building a boarding facility known for its compassionate care and personal attention. Over the years, Snowpine has become a go-to choice for pet boarding, earning high praise from local veterinarians—many of whom entrust their own pets to its care.
The facility is well-maintained and thoughtfully managed, with regular upgrades to ensure comfort for all furry guests. Heated kennels are available upon request, providing extra warmth for pets during colder months.
For pet owners looking for a trusted boarding option near Johannesburg, Snowpine Kennels and Cattery offers a warm, safe, and familiar environment where pets are treated like family.
The dog kennels
The kennels offer ample space for your pets to move around comfortably. Dogs from different families are never housed together, ensuring a safe and personalised experience for each pet. Additionally, if you have more than two pets in your family, Snowpine Kennels & Cattery can accommodate them in one of their spacious family kennels to ensure their comfort during their stay.
Accommodation
Each kennel features a cozy ‘hideaway’ bedroom. Comfy bedding and raised beds ensure maximum comfort. Plus, the kennels are fully walled, reducing fence-related stress and minimizing the risk of disease transmission.
Feeding
Dogs enjoy two meals a day, served with high-quality pellets and a choice of freshly cooked chicken or ostrich meat, generously smothered in gravy. Special dietary needs are happily accommodated and must be prearranged.
Exercise Areas
The expansive exercise areas provide ample shade and are stocked with toys like balls, shoes, dummy tugs, and Frisbees. And for those dogs who love a game of fetch, our staff are happy to play ‘thrower’!
Heated Kennels
For chilly nights, heated kennels are available upon request to keep our guests warm and snug.

Feeding
Snowpine Kennels & Cattery provide their feline guests with a high-quality diet, with options like Iams or Royal Canin available round the clock. Evening treats may include Pampers, Lucky Pet, or Whiskas sachets, depending on preference. Special dietary needs are happily accommodated and must be prearranged.

Baie dankie vir julle uitstekende werk. Pippa is veilig by die huis en baie gelukkig.
Monty had a lovely flight and is quite calm but still a bit confused. He was such a clean little boy in his crate.
