Every massive movement has a humble origin story, but few are as inspiring as the one that takes place right in our own backyard. If you’ve recently spotted one of our pristine, state-of-the-art mobile grooming trailers humming along Monument Road or parked outside the local Plato Coffee in Riverfields, you’re looking at a local dream come full circle.
Born Under the Flight Path, Raised in the Community
Meet Hannes and Petru-Marti, the passionate local franchise owners driving premium pet care across Kempton Park and Serengeti. Born and raised right here in Kempton Park, they didn’t just see a business opportunity; they saw a profound community need. While our area was bustling with furry companions, there was a clear gap for an upmarket, highly professional, and stress-free pet care solution.
The story of Ultimate Pet Care is inextricably linked to this exact soil. Back in 2012, right underneath the bustling runway of OR Tambo International Airport, a visionary idea was born. It started with grooming beloved dogs in the private backyards of Serengeti Golf Estate. From those modest beginnings, fuelled by raw passion and an uncompromising love for animals, that single backyard service evolved into the national brand it is today.
Did you know Serengeti Golf Estate is where the entire national Ultimate Pet Care brand was born in 2012? When you book with us, you are booking a piece of local pet history!
Serving Kempton Park's Busiest Neighbourhoods
From the peaceful luxury of Serengeti Golf Estate to the vibrant streets of Blue Gill, Glen Eagle, Glen Erasmia, and Glen Acres, Hannes and Petru-Marti’s mobile trailers are constantly on the move. You’ll frequently spot them servicing happy pet parents near the Spar and Virgin Active at Glen Acres, or around Maranatha Church, Kruinsig, and Hoërskool Kempton Park. They proudly provide door-to-door luxury across an extensive local footprint, including Glen Marais, Edleen, van Riebeeck Park, Pomona, Bredell, and Bonaero Park.
And where do these freshly coiffed local celebrities go to show off their premium new look? Keep an eye out for the beautiful Riverfields Park across from the Harvest Centre – the absolute favourite neighbourhood spot to see dazzling, freshly groomed pups strutting their stuff after a luxury treatment!
The Yorkie Capital: Expert Care for Local Coated Breeds
While the trailers welcome all breeds and sizes, there is one undeniable king of the castle in Kempton Park: the iconic, silky-coated Yorkie! Yorkshire Terriers dominate our local neighbourhoods, and keeping their delicate, fast-growing coats free from tangles and mats requires specialised expertise.
To help local pet parents maintain that flawless, runway-ready look between professional visits, Hannes and Petru-Marti have shared their ultimate expert “pro-tip”: regular, dedicated brushing and the exclusive use of high-quality products. Ultimate Pet Care’s specialised product range is trusted to groom over 7,000 happy pets monthly across South Africa. These formulas are specifically engineered to eliminate skin irritations, maintain optimal coat hydration, and prevent the dreaded matting that frequently plagues long-haired breeds like Yorkies.
Why the 1-on-1 Mobile Trailer Experience Changes Everything.
Traditional salons can be incredibly overwhelming for pets – stressful car rides, loud environments, separation anxiety, and waiting in cages for hours. Hannes and Petru-Marti emphasise that the 1-on-1 environment inside an Ultimate Pet Care mobile trailer is a total game-changer for long-term pet well-being.
Inside the trailer, your pet receives undivided attention from a specialised professional. By grooming on a consistent, predictable schedule, dogs build deep, trusting relationships with their groomers. They quickly realise that the trailer is a safe, calm, and loving space. Over time, even the most anxious pets become completely relaxed, build confidence, and genuinely look forward to their pamper sessions!
