Hanna & Casper we’re an absolute delight to have stay in our home & look after Freida. They took unprecedented care of Freida, forwarded details & photos of activities they undertook & took loving care of her. Could not be happier with their care of house & dog. Ian & Maree.
Louis and Georgia clearly had fun with the dogs and they were certainly happy when we returned so a success.

Great communication and great service. We booked grooming appointment for my two sheebs. Adrian took the time to walk them and get familiar with them so as to make bathing easier. Shout out to Adrian and Martin for taking such good care of our pups! Would recommend and will come back!
Couldn't be happier with MDN Pet Care! They were amazing with our two Groodles. We loved getting regular updates and seeing all the fun they were having in the photos. It's clear these guys are true dog lovers, and we felt completely at ease leaving our pups in their care. We've already booked them again - highly recommend!
I hired Martin and Adrian from MDN Pet Care to look after my pets from my house while I travelled overseas. They did an amazing job following our given instructions and send lots of updates. We came home and I can tell my pets had really built a bond with them. And my house was also safe and sound. If you’re looking for a pet sitter who is reliable to pet sit your pets at your house I would recommend MDN Pet Care. I will also be using their grooming services too!
We left our baby Cookie with MDN Pet Care for 43 days! This was the second time we were using MDN team’s services and we’re just as happy with the results as we were the first time. Throughout the course Adrian gave us regular updates and was prompt with his replies. He took amazing care of Cookie. She adjusted well with the other pets there and was in a great condition when we brought her home again. I would 100% recommend MDN Pet Care to anyone looking for a safe home for their fur babies!
MDN pet care is a great service for looking after your dogs. I’ve been away 2 weeks for holiday and my pet has been looked after so well by Adrian, he’s so nice & sweet! he updated me photos about my dog every day and my pet seemed to be happy being with him. Additionally, the price is so reasonable! I would recommend this service to any dog lovers 👍🏻👌
Martin & Adrian are the best! So caring and attentive to my little 5 month old puppy! Will recommend and definitely be a repeat client! :) Loved the regular updates and hearing about her day when I picked her up after work!
Adrian and Martin are so lovely and welcoming! 😊 My puppy absolutely loves getting groomed there. The team are perfectionists and take their time ensuring your puppy finds it a positive experience. 🐶 They also send you cute pictures as they go with updates can’t recommend enough! 😊 …
Recently i used MDN pet care absolutely amazing awesome service needed someone to look after my 11 year old kelpie at the last minute have work Martin and Adrian we more than happy to look after belle they came out to pick her up as my car is of the road really friendly will be using MDN pet care again recommended to work colleagues and family friends awesome job guys thank you once again FERGUS
As co-parents, we never thought we would have to leave both our babies for three weeks, and there is no one who came to mind but MDN. Adrian has been more than a foster parent to Gogo and Momo. In these last three weeks, we have seen both babies get so comfortable and loving in the company of Adrian, almost so that they are going to miss him badly. Thank you so much for such personalized care of my cats like they are your own. Thank you for sharing continuous updates and sharing their snippets every day. You not only give us reassurance but also make us believe that our babies are in the best hands in Melbourne.❤️
Adrian and Martin took great care of Billy. He was really happy to spend time in their care, and it was a huge help for us! Will return.
Very relieved at the great service that Elyse provided from Pawshake. My 20 yo pussy needed a lot of attention and cleaning up after and I was extremely happy to see she was looked after. Elyse even sent me videos so that I did not worry while on holiday. Excellant Service.
It was very easy to find a sitter with Pawshake. The app is well done and the communication with Charlie, our sitter was also very easy. Our 4 month puppy Paku has fallen in love with Charlie and her dog Opinel. We will use Pawshake again and Charlie is the perfect carer for Paku. We had a very tired and happy boy at home that night.
Easy online service to use. Brittany had a meet and greet with our 2 cats and took wonderful care of our boys, even sending some photos to us! Our cats were very relaxed when we came back. Will definitely use this service again
I had a fantastic experience having Sharon from Pawshake care for my cat while I was away. She was wonderfully communicative and kept me up to date on my cat’s care - despite my cat hiding from her throughout the week I was away! Pawshake was very easy to book care through and easy to use!
I discovered Pawshake when looking for in-home care for my rescue dog, and I was able to get in touch with some great local pet-sitters. Since then I'm using Pawshake regularly when my dog needs some extra company or a walk while I'm at work - and I've had nothing but positive experiences. The pet-sitters on Pawshake are all genuine animal lovers who have all been so kind, professional, and taken great care of my fur baby! Being able to organise meet and greets before booking is so valuable too. A great service.
Our cats were well looked after and our sitter was terrific in caring for their wellbeing. They began to warm up to her in just a few days. We have already booked her for our next holiday.
Thanks Pawshake for the creating a unique service like this. Having recently adopted a puppy, I was hesitant to put him into a dog kennel / hotel. As a child the only option we had was dog kennels, and our family dog was always traumatised when we collected her. Admittedly, things have improved since then, but even recently, I saw one Dog Hotel that offers just 30 mins of play time per day! And you have to pay extra if you want more socialisation. Unbelievable! With Pawshake we connected with a great petsitter (my glowing review of her is on the app) and it meant that our pooch had a holiday while we were away on our holiday! Regularly photos of him made us feel at ease, and when we collected him, he looked happy and well looked after. (And in addition, it was a LOT cheaper than dog hotels / kennels). Thank you!
Thank Pawshake for the service and let us to find the reliable dog sitters so easily. This was the first time for our dog to leave home, but he had a good time with the sitters. We received our dog's photos through Pawshake everyday and were very happy with it.
Pawshake was very easy to use and reliable too. Left our little dog for the first time in March. Was very happy with the sitter so used them again when we went away for the long weekend recently. Our little Teddy was cool and collective when we picked him up after he spent 3 nights with the sitter. Highly recommend the use of this website for doggy sitting.
Helen made me feel reassured that leaving our 5 month old puppy over Xmas was no hardship. Mimmi was happy to see me when I picked her up but calm & happy
Caring, good knowledge of pets, responsible and affordable. Highly recommended.
Fiona has been a wonderful support taking my dog Henry for a walk everyday for the last 2 or 3 months while I recovered from an injury. Henry absolutely loves it when Fiona arrives, and he comes back a happy dog. Fiona is reliable, professional and caring and I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending her dog walking services.
Fiona was kind enough to dog-sit for us while I was overseas for a few weeks. We're sure Yuki was well looked after while I was away, and Fiona was kind enough to drive Yuki to grooming on short notice, and Yuki came home looking fabulous and happy.
Fiona is so caring and amazing, she offers great walks for my 2 furbabies!
Absolutely wonderful. Delighted with the service. I couldn't speak more highly of Fiona's Pet Services. Highly recommended.
Fantastic thankyou! Both our bunnies seemed very happy afterwards.
Fiona is a lovely pet sitter
Caring and personal
Thank you.
Imoguen has been an incredible addition to our dog's life, and ours also! She is a true dog lover, is super kind and very responsive. We can't recommend her highly enough.
Imoguen is a lovely and kind person who takes exceptional care of our dog when we need her to walk him. She’s fantastic with Chino and he just loves her!
Imoguen has been amazing with our young Golden Retriever- Bonnie loves her and she has been instrumental in her upbringing. Highly recommend
Billy absolutely adores Imoguen, he gets so excited for their weekly walk. She is so caring and amazing with him, feel very lucky to have found her.
Imoguen walked Bailey daily for me and has been amazing! She adores Bailey and he loves the walks, plays - highly recommend
Very fair quotation and speedy response response to my initial enquiry. When I arrived it was very easy to find and I could tell straight away I was leaving my two dogs with caring people just by the way they had a genuine interest with my dogs. I didn't have to worry at all and when I picked them up they were very happy and smelt so good. The owners were very friendly and interested and I would definitely recommend them to anyone with fur babies that want that personal service. Beats any kennel or resort hands down. If I could give more stars I would.
Would recommend pet stays to anyone! Happy i found them. Janene & Res are great & give updates of your pet during the day! My dog goes 2 x per week :)
Our 7.5 month old Golden Retriever Ocean had her first doggy day care session here last week. We were very thankful that we could get a daycare spot last minute, as we had to head out of town for the day. We got update pictures and she looked very happy playing with all the other dogs. She made some new friends and was very from all the play, that she didn’t even want to walk up the stairs to go to bed. We will definitely be bringing Ocean back for more play dates. Thanks so much for taking such good care of our girl.
We love sending Winnie and Mini here, they always come back home completely exhausted and always excited to go back! Jeannene is really fast and efficient. Also noticed the development in our puppies training. We love it hear!
We highly recommend the service of Pet Stays, professional, warm and caring Team who looked after our Teddy while we were on holidays. Jeannene and Reza are doing an amazing job. Thank you! We are very grateful! We will definitely ask your service in the future.
I have had the best of experience! Jeannene and the team at Pet stays They are wonderful caring and totally understand that you’re missing your pet when you’re away. Sending you photos and updates of them making new friends & how they are enjoying their time away. I have one and a half year old labrador that is a happy friendly dog I know when I drop him off with the team at Pet stays he will be safe in their care & I will get to have quality cuddles because he will be so tired after having a party with his new friends Thank you again, Emma & Hector
I was lucky to find PetStays when the pet hotel cancelled Chloe’s accommodation at the last minute. Jeannene made the effort to answer all my questions and assist me with arranging pick-up for Chloe. Chloe enjoys her stay at Pet Stays and has been there for long vacations since last year. She is always excited to be picked up by Jeannene. I can tell that Jeannene, Reza and the other staff took great care of Chloe, as she always returns home happy and well-groomed. I get lots of photo updates every week. They help Chloe socialise with the other dogs and pamper her with treats.
Thank you Jeannene and Reza! Ronnie loves his stays with you and we love receiving the cute photo updates. Highly recommend!
Thank you so much for taking such awesome care of our fur baby! Hearing how excited she was to see you every morning totally made our day while we were away. We can’t recommend your services enough and will definitely be back! Thanks for making both us and our big fur ball feel so welcome and loved!
Alfie loves going for his adventures to Petstays. He enjoys the extra company while I am at work. It’s great to know that he is safe and entertained while I’m at work. A little on the expensive side compared with alternate daycares, but the personal experience is a positive.
Sarah is the best dog sitter ever. My little Summer loves going to Best Day Ever Dogs. Sarah provides a wonderful level of care and Summer is very well with other dogs^^ I’m so blessed to have found Sarah. Thank you so much Sarah and team!
Our pup loves going here so much. Sarah is amazing and so caring. Highly recommended - your furry friend will have the Best Day Ever!
We have been lucky enough to have Sarah, Jesper, Felix and Roy look after our dogs multiple times over the last 5 years. While nobody could love our dogs as much as we do, Sarah and her family come very close! It is such a relief to have someone who truly cares for and about them when we’re away, and it means we can relax and enjoy holiday trips, knowing the dogs are in excellent hands. Sarah is always fantastic to communicate with and we love getting photos and updates when we’re away. Most importantly, the dogs are always super happy to see Sarah and her gang. Highly recommended!
Sarah and her family have looked after our dogs a number of times over the years. Our two miniature schnauzers love spending time with them and we are constantly updated with photos of the fun times they are having. The love and care they receive makes it so much easier to leave them to go on holidays. Thanks Sarah and team!
Sarah and team are the only people we feel comfortable leaving our fur babies with. What's more, the doggos love staying with her and don't seem to even miss us (judging by all the photo updates that we get and also appreciate very much). Best Day Ever Dogs could easily rebrand to Best Dog Daycare Ever!
Couldn’t recommend Best Day Ever Dogs more highly! I connected with them when I moved back to Melbourne almost three years ago. Organised a meet and greet and knew from that day there is no one else I would want to leave him with. Sarah and Jesper take such good care of him for me, I especially love getting the photo and video updates throughout the day and seeing how much fun he’s having with his friends at daycare 🙂
Couldn’t recommend more highly. Our mini spoodle loves going for day care and boarding. We know she’s always well looked after and comes home happy. 🐶 …
Thank you Jerry!
Thanks Marnie!
Tania was an amazing with our three cavoodles (even through 3 is a handful at times which just goes to show her caring nature). The bubs are like children and we felt from the first meeting that they would be in great, loving hands. Tania kept us updated with photos of the dogs enjoying their walks and generally. We came home to 3 very happy dogs (who were, after their excitement of greeting us, luckily exhausted from their walk time to settle in and cuddle with a sleep. Will definitely be seeking Tania’s services again (and I’m certain the dogs would love it!)
Tania (My Pet Auntie) looked after our tabby Dexter for us for 3 weeks while we were overseas. Our cat can be a bit of shy and anxious around new people so we were worried about leaving him at home for the first time for so long. Tania was amazing, she kept us updated with texts and pics and went above and beyond to give our boy extra care, play time and company. He was very calm and comfortable when we got home. We are so grateful to her - huge thank you Tania!
Tania was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter. My dogs were so happy and content with her. She took such good care of them and I wouldn't hesitate to use her again. Thanks Tania!
Tania has been amazing with my two pups. My girl is 12 1/2 and on meds and my boy is 9 1/2 - both are labradors and they love Tania - as do I. Tania made it easier to be away knowing that she had their best interests at heart. She measured out their meals and spent time with them with plenty of cuddles and walks every day. She kept in touch and sent pics of the pups. We were so happy to have her look after the house and our dogs.
Tania has a genuine love and care towards animals. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my 2 dogs besides her. We went away to Europe for 5 weeks and they were so calm when we got back, they looked at us like “Great that you’re back, but you’ve been replaced” 😂 I felt so relieved knowing my dogs weren’t stressed while I was away. Life saver! Thank Tania
I can't say enough good things about Tania, our pet walker and minder! For the past four years Tania has looked after our German Shepherd, Murphy, on a weekly basis and the experience has been nothing short of exceptional. Tania has an incredible way with animals and always goes the extra mile to meet both Murphy's and our needs. Murphy absolutely adores her and looks forward to their walks and playtime in the park. Tania's fantastic energy and genuine love for animals shines through in every interaction and makes her time with Murphy truly special. If you're looking for someone reliable, caring and enthusiastic to look after your pet, Tania is the best choice you could make. Highly recommended!
We engaged Tania (My Pet Auntie) to look after our 2 dogs, Caesar & Apollo while we were away on holiday for 6 weeks. I cannot express how grateful we are for the high level of personal care that our boys received. She was in regular contact with updates, pictures and videos (including Facetime!) Both our boys always looked happy and relaxed on their daily walks and at home. We felt she put their interest and welfare first, especially having a senior dog that needs a little extra care. Treating them with lots of love and care which is why they love and adore her. On return our house was spotless and she even left a beautiful note with treats for our boys. I cannot recommend her highly enough, she is genuine, honest and caring and we are very grateful for their wonderful care she provided while we were away, it was a huge relief. 5 Star service
My furbabies love their Pet Auntie. Tania does a wonderful job, is kind and caring with my cat and dog, and very reliable and trustworthy. Both my pets have special instructions and medications and nothing is an issue for Tania. Very highly recommend!
We highly recommend Tania. We visited Melbourne from Adelaide with our boy Harley who didn’t handle the unfamiliar environment when we left the house. Somehow we found Tania and for a very reasonable price she allowed us to go out to places Harley couldn’t attend guilt and worry free! Won’t hesitate to bring Harley next time! Cheers
Over the past 3 years I have engaged MY Pet Auntie on a regular basis. The services provided range from intensive care of an elderly dog to a new puppy in the midst of training. The preparation of meals as well as full time care during my absence, is accomplished with exceptional efficiency and attention to any needs that arise. Also Auntie provides me with regular cleaning assistance and back yard care for my chooks and veggie patch. All of this is carried out with loving kindness and a genuine commitment to excellent.
St Roch have been a gem of a find. Since moving to the bayside area, i was nervous to find a dog walking company i trusted with my precious pooch who has several special health needs. Fiona and Sarah have been warm and genuinely love the animals they walk. I know when I'm at work, my dog is on an exciting adventure and being looked over with the most careful eye. They are attentive to his needs and communicate well regarding any observations or concerns. I know my pooch is genuinely safe and happy when he is with St Roch. We love their products too - especially the healthy dried chicken breast, and the cute apparel such as the bandannas and ties.
Cannot thank enough the St Roch team who have brought such joy to Billie and Teddy. They love their walks with you and new found buddies. St Roch have a genuine understanding of matching the right dogs and personalities for a fun group walk. Am in awe with all that you do.
St. Roch have been great for my dog . . . he loves the regular group walks with his canine mates and also his overnight stays. The team there treat him as one of their own and are also great to have on hand for general dog advice. Highly recommended.
St Roch have been fantastic for our puppy Luna. We are first time dog owners and work full time, and we were looking for someone who understood that - Fiona and Sarah have absolutely delivered. Luna gets taken on walks every weekday, and with other dogs so she gets plenty of socialising time. It's also obvious how much they care about their dogs - little things like checking the water bowl, turning the aircon on on hot days, and even birthday wishes. Highly recommend!
Dog walking done right! What can I say if you need a dog walker in Elwood Vic then this is your service.
Professional, caring, and excellent at what they do. Couldn't be more impressed. Thanks team.
I had no idea doggy daycares exists let alone such a loving, caring and entertaining space for our furry baby! Our Groodle puppy, Tony, started daycare at 15 weeks old, staff went above and beyond to make sure he is comfortable being so little still and a bit fearful too. They sent me updates and photos of how he’s been doing and his new friends! I can’t believe I can now work or just relax knowing my puppy is having the time of his life there. I will try their grooming soon but I’m sure it’s as exquisite. Thanks team!
I can not rave about this place enough! My boy Luigi, loves his time at Jurassic Bark. He is so happy, and more importantly he is so tired when he gets home. The staff are all AMAZING. Such lovely people that really care about every single pooch that walk through the door. Thank you Jurassic Bark!
We have been super thrilled with the grooming at Jurassic. Staff have been so gentle and patient and did a fantastic job. Looking forward to coming back next again
Kitsune just joined the JB team (finally) and had such a great time! He is still so happy and relaxed the day after his visit, which means mum can relax and even go out without been screamed at 🐶😂 …
This doggy day care is the best care . I know my dog, Oscar is in brilliant hands while I work.he is so happy with all his doggy friends. The staff are warm, friendly and loving
Such an incredible facility! The team are fantastic. Pepsi had such a fun first day. The behaviour assessment was straight forward and the trainer also had some really practical tips for a Frenchie who is a tad toy obsessed. Overall a 5 star experience. Pepsi is looking forward to coming back this week.
My two Doggos just love coming here. It's a great opportunity for them to make some friends and help with their social skills. At the door they can't wait to get in. All the staff are super friendly and keep you up to date with their progress. Such a great all round team. Love their work 😃🐶🐶 …
My Wellington loves going to Jurassic Bark. He is happy and is looked after so well. Everyone is so friendly, the facilities clean and set up to ensure every dog has a great day. I would highly recommend sending your pupasaurus there!
My puppy Bowie loves her time at Jurassic Bark. She is always so excited when we get to the front door and often doesn’t want to leave! All the handlers and staff are lovely, and the facilities are next level! We are so glad to finally have a quality Doggy Daycare near where we live. Thanks Team! From Bowie and her Mums.
Mr Clover was a bit shy the first time he went to Jurassic Bark , but from the second visit he was right at home . I am so very happy I found this place . The staff is exceptional and Mr Clover is very happy to go in the morning and can't wait when we get close to go in and have a great day . Thank you to the wonderful carers and the lovely owners for being so kind and accommodating. I highly reccomend this Doggy Day Care ...from Mr Clover and his Human , Marco
