Dáire and I spent a wonderful couple of weeks in Lucy’s beautiful home. Gypsy is a charismatic cat who slowly but surely warmed to us 🥰 She loves sitting out on the patio in the sun, playing with her toys or watching the world go by from the front window 😂 She is very easy to care for and will definitely win you over! Lucy and Gypsy live in a perfect location to explore Melbourne. Lucy was so easy to communicate with and so gracious in her reception to us when we arrived. She provided us with excellent instructions which were handy to refer back to throughout the sit. Couldn’t recommend enough 😊

Sarah is a fantastic dog walker and takes great care of our reactive rescue dog. Couldn’t recommend her enough, she is constantly reliable and our dog always comes back from his walk happy and tired!
Our Dog Rufus went to stay at Furballs for a long weekend, as he is only a puppy we were a bit apprehensive . We need not have been. Tracie is very welcoming and obviously has lots of experience. Rufus made himself right at home and enjoyed the company of the other dogs. Tracie sent us a couple of watsaps with pics which was very reassuring. We have already booked Rufus in again and would definitely recommend this home boarding .
Tracie was very good and kept us up to date with photos. Would definitely recommend and will be using her again in the future
The very best place for your dog to be looked after while you are away. Any time of year, including Christmas. Every dog gets treated like royalty, with long walks and free cuddles included. Top service! 👍 …
Fluffies Hotel are wonderful! The moment we walked in, we knew our guinea pigs (GP’s) would be happy! A lovely family who care deeply about their own animals and other peoples pets they care for. They updated us a few times on how the GP’s were and sent us a photo. They messaged back with super speed whenever we needed to communicate. They were also very accommodating when our flight was really delayed and we picked up later than agreed. I would recommend them definitely and we will use them again! Ps they also sell yummy free range eggs from their wonderful collection of chickens!
Exceptional! My bunnies love coming here and I don't think they want to leave! Brilliant set up for the animals!
Our guinea pigs had their second stay at Fluffies Hotel and were well loked after
Looked after my boys for two weeks for an exceptionally reasonable price. Absolutely fantastic service 🙂 …
Recommend and will use in the future.
Very good service and friendly
Many thanks Krzysztof, we hope to see Hop again in the future.
Thanks Nora, it was a pleasure to have Peanut.
Amazing match was found for my dog while we were away in Asia. And am now about to book another pet stay . Fantastic service. You can completely relax it is extremely well run.
Am yet to use the service, however communication excellent, immediate response to email, most helpful and good advice. I contacted them because of good recommendations.
Wasn't interested in looking after our dog, after we enquired about dates they were already busy on they said they were busy and couldn't help, when asked about other dates they didn't respond to messages.
My partner and I have used Lauren 3 times and we hope to use her services in the future. When we are away for long periods, we ask her to come twice a day to feed and play with our two cats and turtle. She sends us lovely pictures and videos after each visit. She goes above and beyond. For example, she looked after the gang when it was a heat wave. She popped more water bowls down for the cats. She found one of our electric fans and left that on turtles tank, to cool him down too. We can't thank her enough :)
We are absolutely delighted to have discovered Lauren and booked her to look after our 17-year-old cat, Alfie, for four days last week. Lauren is extremely well organised. As a pet-sitter myself, I found her preparatory administration very impressive. She gathers all the important information well in advance and then visited us twice to ensure she knew everything relevant regarding caring for Alfie. When she arrived, she was absolutely lovely. She approached Alfie with care and he responded straight away. I felt really good about leaving him with her. My partner, Craig, doesn’t count his chickens before they’re hatched so reserved judgement until Lauren was actually caring for his beloved boy, however! I am delighted to say that I saw him visibly relax on seeing Lauren’s first report, immediately after coming in to see Alfie when we were away. Lauren sent a full write-up, videos, gifs and photos of Alfie happily receiving (and giving!) tons of love, treats, play and adventures, after every single visit. These became the high points of our holiday! This is the first time that we have been able to afford a professional sitter for Alfie but Lauren has been a game changer for us. We now feel confident to have short breaks away from our elderly boy in total confidence that he will not only be looked after when we go, but will have his own super vacation time! Thank you so much for everything, Lauren. You rock! 🤘
Finding Lauren at Cozy Cats & Critters was a godsend for our two cats who have been less than enthusiastic in the past about being left in a cattery. Using Lauren's service allowed our cats to stay in the comfort of their own home where she came by and filled up their food and water, as well as giving them plenty of attention. She also sends videos and photos each day to show how they're doing. Our cats loved seeing Lauren each day and were the happiest they've ever been on our return (we were gone for 5 days). If you are looking for a kinder alternative to a cattery, I highly recommend Lauren and her service.
Lauren has been amazing with my cat and dog and I could not be happier with her services. Always on time, with a friendly and calm personality and confident approach towards an unruly puppy. She will be my go-to for my pets whenever I will need a sitter. Six stars!
I hired Lauren to clean my 5 rabbits out on the regular as I'm unable to physically do it myself and hiring someone was my only option to be able to ensure they can continue to be well looked after. Things have been going, as far as I was aware, great over the last couple of months when Lauren took this job on but unfortunately she has suddenly decided to stop replying to my messages and emails, hasn't bothered sending me an invoice for this month and now my rabbits haven't been cleaned out. I'm extremely upset about this and am now left unexpectadly trying to find another company that would be able to clean my animals out on such short notice. I thought Lauren seemed reliable and now my rabbits are suffering for the lack of reliability here. If you are looking for a reliable service for your beloved pets, I would recommend looking elsewhere. I'm extremely disappointed to have to be writing this review but when it comes to pets, reliability is important and I would hate for anyone else to end up in a similar position to me and my rabbits.
Lauren is excellent! My labradoodle Rosie is a very lovely but temperamental and stubborn doggo… Lauren is excellent with her, she’s patient and attentive. Rosie loves going for walks with Lauren now and I know my fur baby is in excellent hands whenever I need a dog Walker/ sitter ! Thanks Lauren
Lauren looked after Chester for a long weekend while we were away. He doesn’t always settle when we go away, but we needn’t have worries as Chester had a brilliant time and loved being able to stay in his own home. We will be using Lauren again when we go away
Lauren has cared for our two elderly Cats for almost three weeks, whilst we were out of the Country. It was so reassuring to know we were leaving our little fur-balls in such safe and loving hands. Lauren kept us updated with photos and videos, which was so lovely and really welcomed. We would definitely use Lauren’s services again in the future. Absolutely 100% first class service, I cannot recommend Lauren highly enough . Thank you so much 😊
Lauren is AMAZING! I have 5 cats and she took care of them all so well. It was lovely having photos of every single cat while away and really reassured me while on holiday. Some of my cats are shy and they really warmed to her, says it all! The best! I highly recommend.
Absolutely brilliant service. Lauren looked after our two cats for over a week over the Christmas hols. She even got on great with our shy girlie and the big fella loved all the cuddles. Great pics were provided daily and plenty of play time as well. We would definitely recommend Lauren's service for your Pet sitting 😉
We booked in our 3 year old cockapoo for teeth cleaning with Emily! It was really easy to book and we were both so surprised and pleased with the results! Not being the easiest dog we weren’t sure what to expect but the service was so professional and reasonably priced we are very glad we took her! Highly recommended! Wish I took a before photo as she had a build up of black plaque despite having dentist sticks daily!!!but here is the after…
Emily has been absolutely fantastic in getting to know our pup, and he has absolutely loved spending time with Emily and her pup out on a walk! We can't recommend her enough and will definitely be getting more sessions booked in!
Emily looked after our dog while we were on holiday and the whole experience was great, great questions about care up-front, good communication including photos and our dog loves going back to Emily’s now. Highly recommended.
We cannot recommend Emily highly enough! Lupin had the most wonderful stay and absolutely loves Riley and Emily - I'm certain he's gutted to be back home. Emily really took the time to understand Lupin's quirks and sent so many lovely updates throughout his stay. It was so reassuring seeing him so relaxed and very well looked after. We'll absolutely be using The Collar Club time and time again! Thank you so much!
Emily is fantastic. She went out of her way to look after our Lab Pablo at her house when another service let us down. She is professional friendly and clearly loves animals. She asked lots of background questions at the meet and greet ensuring Pablo would be well cared for. Regular updates and pics across two weeks allowed everyone to relax knowing Pablo was having a great holiday aswell! Really glad we found her and much better than kennels. Definately now our first choice for all petcare.
My rabbits April, Milo and Bertie have stayed with Jo several times and we have always been very happy with the service. Jo has a large set up for the rabbits with access inside and outside (inc grass) all day which suits their needs for all weathers. Value for money! Highly recommend!
Fantastic service, really good communication, the cats agree too!
Brilliant service by Jo as always, Highly recommend
Really friendly owners
I hand used Lilly’s services several times now over the past 6 months to visit my home and undergo welfare checks for my two chihuahuas. Lily was always punctual and stayed the full duration of the visit. Lily listened & adhered to instructions given for my dogs routine and always kept my informed of how the visit went! Overall, I was extremely happy with Lily’s service and my dogs grew to love her. ... Will definitely continue to use Lily in future !!
Fantastic service provided for our geriatric cat whilst we were away. I would recommend to anyone looking for a pet sitter.
Lily is an animal whisperer! She is comfortable around all types of animals and uses her experience from working at a pet store and animal rescue to ensure our dog and cats were treated better than we could have imagined. She has a gift in getting them to feel comfortable with her and loved. Lily always goes above and beyond... trustworthy and reliable...Hire her and you won’t be disappointed!
Our little lab attends Happi Days every work day and absolutely loves it. They celebrate the dog's birthdays and always have themed events depending on the time of year. They also offer a discount if your dog attends more than a certain number of days a month. As of September we won't need daily day care for our pup but we'll still take him in on the odd occasion to see his pals.
So, so happy with the discovery of Happi Days! I thought it was just day care, I wasn't aware of the grooming service, a friend recommended them. We had Sophie as our groomer, the whole experience is a good one. You can feel the lovely atmosphere the second you walk into the place. Never been so impressed with a groomers, can't recommend them enough. I'd also like to point out the value for money. The amount of "extras" you get as the standard package is brilliant. For example, Pets At Home would charge extra for the nails cutting, Happy Days don't, that's just a standard thing they do.
my doggo loves it there always comes out happy and the staff are very caring xx
Amazing staff that really are great at what they do and always super cheerful and friendly. Oh, and Zed always comes home tired, which is a bonus.
Great daycare. Competitively priced. Opens at 7am unlike many others.
Lettie loves happi days. Initially, she was shy but now can't wait to run in!
Seems like a lovely place: we were looking for options on day time care from a surprise dog arrival. However, the cost was too much. I must specify that this is not a reflection on this company specifically. Dog daycare in general is an expensive cost which was something we cannot afford. This looked like the best in the area!
We take our dog to happi days and as soon as we mention the word she gets really excited. They do so much with her from partues to agility, walking in woods.
Plenty for dogs to do. They offer extras too for busy owners, like wash, groom, woodland walks. They take photos every day so you can see what your pooch got up to. Our dog has been for two half day sessions and comes home whacked but happy. Opens early and finishes late to fit in and the offer over night stays too.
Our dog goes to Happi Days Dog Day Care every week day and comes back home very tired so she must definitely enjoy her time there! They put daily pictures on facebook so that we can see what our dog has been up to. Staff are friendly. They also offer wood walks and other treatments but we have not tried them. I would definitely recommend them if you have got a high energy dog like ours (she's a beagle!). The price is also competitive in comparison to other creches.
