House sitting in Kenya

Want to cuddle some puppies in one of the most exotic destinations in the world? You can make this happen by house sitting in Kenya.

From the serene and unspoilt stretch of the Mombasa coastline to the breathtaking waterfalls of Nairobi’s urban Karura Forest, Kenya has plenty of attractions that can keep you busy. What's more, animal lovers can spend time with furry friends during their Kenyan house sitting adventure.

Nairobi

Nairobi is a jewel worth marvelling at on your Kenyan dog trip. Nairobi has you covered, whether you enjoy bustling streets or want a serene atmosphere to savour nature. You can stroll the streets and markets with your new pet friend. Stop by the Village Market for beautiful trinkets and various Kenyan souvenirs. Dogs are allowed in the stalls and open-air food courts, where you can sample the delicious local cuisines.

Explore the forests

You can always take your pet friends for a walk in Karura Forest. While pets aren't allowed in all the city's parks, they can play in the off-leash dog areas. Ensure your pet has a dog tag card and a leash when visiting the national forest reserve. 

Malindi

Marvel at the Swahili-inspired architecture, and enjoy the sunny weather in Malindi while house sitting in Kenya. Visit the Ndoro Sculpture garden, and reconnect with art while enjoying the peace and tranquillity of nature. The place hosts over 300 extraordinary and beautifully arranged sculptures, and you can check out the stone sculptures with your pet pal. 

Sightseeing and Swahili cuisine

You can also visit and stroll around the Ruins of Gedi, a UNESCO World Heritage Site from the early 15th century. The Vasco da Gama pillar is also worth exploring, and your furry friend can tag along with you. Don't forget to taste the many Swahili dishes in various eateries in the town. Most of the restaurants that have outdoor spaces are pet-friendly.

Mombasa

Mombasa is a popular destination for sandy beaches, but it is also steeped in history. Fort Jesus is a must-see landmark to discover while enjoying your Kenyan house sitting trip. The thick seaward walls that rise above the coral foundation provide impressive views. Since the fort has retained its original plans, you can experience the region's history from its wall paintings and architecture. Though your furry friends cannot enter the museum, they can still walk around at Fort Jesus.

Family-friendly parks for dogs

Leashed dogs are allowed in the family-friendly Haller Park. The nature trail takes 90 minutes to walk around the park. You can explore tranquil landscapes and large enclosures with wild animals, including hippos, giraffes and antelopes. Enjoy a picnic in the park and let your pet pals frolic in the designated play areas.
