Kelly and Jeff stayed at our place for a few days while we were abroad and were everything you could hope for in a house sitter! Kelly sent photos and updates daily and it was easy to see just how much they cared for our pets. It's so much easier to be away knowing your space (and everyone in it) are in good hands. I'd recommend them to anyone!
A great house sit! Thank you Louise and Ben
Mary and Buddy are the best! Mary was so welcoming and left great written instructions for Buddy and the home. Buddy is a very chill dog, easy to take care of, and a great listener (especially when treats are involved). He’s the perfect dog if you like longer hikes, he does well off leash and when encountering other dogs. The home and backyard are beautiful and very clean. I will come back whenever I can and would recommend to other sitters if you have the opportunity to sit for Mary!
Erica was a very gracious homeowner. She welcomed me into her home and accommodated all my needs to the T. She is new to THS so understandably anxious to ensure both her requirements and expectations were met too. I am happy that she gave me a great review and I hope that she will have many more good experiences with other sitters for her adorable Flora for Erica is an amazing senior with such great attitude towards life and travels is second nature to her. Even though Erica had only had Flora rescued recently, she has trained Flora so well that there were no problem at all to feed and ensure Flora is in her room by 'bedtime'. Flora seeks human presence and it is so adorable to see her peek at you from afar. Erica's home is beautiful and I feel privileged to have stayed in her home in the beautiful Hampton Court area. Truly recommended. As I am an international sitter I may not have the opportunity to come again but if ever I do, and Erica plans to jet set off to warmer climes, I hope to be able to sit Flora again.
I feel lucky to have been the first sitter to stay in Kenlyn and Collin's new Ballina home. It is a beautiful setting, overlooking the River Shannon, with Ballina and Killaloe either side. The community vibes here and strong and Kenlyn left a fantastic guide (the best I've seen) for the area and her home. Kenlyn also welcomed me having a friend come along too to take care of Trousers. Trousers is a beautiful cat - inside and out. Trousers took a little bit to warm up, but once he did, it was smooches all round. He's also ridiculously photogenic making the daily photos and updates to Kenlyn both easy (so many photos) and hard (which pics to send?). Trousers loved tummy and armpit rubs as much as I loved the coffee and cakes at The Wooden Spoon (aka, a lot!). You need a car to stay here, but I found renting one affordable. Staying in Ballina gives you the Irish country/community vibes while being accessible for many parts of Ireland. Don't miss the Cliffs of Moher and Uisneach. If the timing works for you to apply for this sit - do it!! You won't regret it. Thank you again for opening up your home to me, Kenlyn and Collin, I hope our paths cross again. Give Trousers an armpit rub from me. x
I enjoyed looking after Teo and Pam’s house. Teo’s well-behaved, full of joy, funny, and smart. I would definitely dog sit for Pam again.
It was a great experience sitting for Chanel and looking after Denver & Whiskey! The cats are so friendly and didn’t take long to get comfortable with us which was a pleasant surprise. We loved spending time with them and would happily sit here again, place was great, clean and a convenient location.

Highly recommending this service. Every time I have used this App all Pet Sitters have been great! Thanks having someone look after my furkids makes life so much easier. And it’s so great to see that my Pups have always loved their sitters. Happy all round 😊🐶❤️
Had our dog cared for at fairly short notice. Nicole was lovely. Came by to meet our dog. Sent us some lovely photos while we were away. Everything done as promised. When she dropped the key back to us our dog was so excited to see her.
Pawshake was a lifesaver allowing us to go on our trip as planned. Our pet sitter was fabulous providing photo's and updates daily. She was friendly and helpful and definitely put our minds at ease. The website was easy to use making the whole transaction a breeze.
This is a wonderful platform to find a quality pet sitter. I had such a positive experience with the pet sitter i found on Pawshake (who was the highest rated in my area). I would recommend Pawshake to anyone looking for a good pet sitter.
We booked Pawshake pet sitter for our cat over the Christmas holidays. It was a real positive experience we found trust worthy, reliable sitter to come our house to look after our cat. Pawshake was a easy way to find and book a sitter. Communication through was excellent and the Pawshake website and App was easy to use and navigate.
Shadow was beautifully looked after at short notice. He came home happy and exhausted after playing with Zoe. We'd also done the meet & greet with another carer who was also lovely, but the timing didn't work unfortunately.
We loved the Pawshake experience. Reviews helped us trust the choice and the system of meeting first between booking was good. Great day care while we did tourist and family things.
I left my doggy for the first time and she was so well looked after. A shout out to Monique, my dog sitter (from Pawshake) who is such a dependable person. She took great care of our pet and was constantly in communication giving us feedback and taking on board our requests.
Love Pawshake!! Our holiday plans changed last minute and we could not book our Pugalier into the kennels he usually goes to, or find any that had availability. Came across Pawshake and booked him a stay with such a lovely pet sitter called Amanda. He was totally spoilt, had so much fun with her dogs, had visits to the beach, and we were sent videos and photos everyday. He was very well looked after. Will definitely use Pawshake again and recommend it to others.
Sensational, lots of choice, great system, great value... very happy to find a dog sitter we trust so quickly. Thank you. Highly recommended.
Paulette is the only person I would trust outside of my family to look after my fur baby. My little toy poodle (9yrs old) absolutely LOVES her and the other little dogs she looks after! He loves her so much that we ran into her on the street the other day and when it came to saying goodbye, my dog wanted to stay with her instead of coming with me hahaha! He stayed with Paulette for a couple of weeks when we went o/seas last year and he was soooooo well looked after! He also does daytime doggy daycare visits which he loves...he drags me toward her house when he realises where we are...definitely a good sign! If you have a small dog I would highly recommend Paulette...she’s such a sweet person and gives nothing but love to the doggies in her care!
I am really happy to have found Paulette and her doggy day care. She is so attentive to Howie, who was a shy puppy when we first took him. We get regular updates when he's there and his socialization has improved immensely! I think we will going for many years to come.
I’m delighted to have found Paulette at Doggy Day Care Sydney. I take my little shoodle to her during the week when I’m at work for a long day - it’s his home away from home. Paulette send me messages and photos throughout the day and I’m so confident he is well looked after while I’m out. Highly recommend her services.
I had a 'high needs' older dog, Simba, who I had brought home from Europe at 13 years. Paulette was Simba's [and my] guardian angel. I do not know how I would have managed a busy, demanding job and cater for Simba's needs. Paulette was loving and attentive, and trust worthy. Simba loved going to her place and I could go away and know he was loved and cared for and safe. I cannot recommend her enough.
My cats were so well looked after Paulette! They are normally so fussy but when I got back after a week they were all over her. I would trust her again to look after my cats anytime. :)
Paulette has been looking after our Muse for over a year now. Muse LOVES going to Doggy Day Care Sydney!! 😃😃😃 …
Paulette has been amazing in helping look after my dog over the last year. Can't recommend her services enough!
No one should ever worry about their loved pet being in the care of Paulette.
Wonderful homely place for the dog's that get pampered by the lovely paulette.
The only place I trust with my many puppers
This pet sitting platform is seriously broken. I spent 3 weeks trying to withdraw my money from my pet sit. You can't speak to anyone. The 1300 number goes straight to voicemail and NOT one person calls you back. You go onto the website and it says request a call back at a certain time and date. NO ONE calls you back. You email and you just go around in circles. IT issues that never get resolved. You even try and delete your profile yet another IT issue. You can't escape even if you try! The only way I got my money back was I researched the CEO and guessed her email address. Low and behold I got an instant response and withdrawal straight away. I paid 19% commission to this company that did absolutely nothing!
This is such a poor platform compared to Madpaws. Every time I do a sit for them I have to chase and chase them for payment. It's ridiculous. The platform has extremely poor functionality when compared to its rivals as well yet it charges the same percentage. If I charged admin fees on top of each sit I reckon I'd be around $150 a night. It's a complete joke. Seems I'm not the only one who has experienced problems with chasing Petcloud for payment on multiple occasions either (refer to Product Review for other sitter experiences!). Furthermore, the app is completely useless, it doesn't work at all. I have to log in via a PC every time I want to check messages or update anything, which puts clients at risk of not having their services filled to their specifications (it could actually cause a life and death situation for a pet!). Oh and suddenly when I've become so frustrated with them that I write a one star review, I'm paid in a matter of minutes (after five working days' wait and much obfuscation saying there's nothing they can do) and I'm booted off the platform and have no record of my income from them for tax purposes. Thanks Petcloud!
PetCloud service was easy to use and we found the perfect sitter last minute. After the initial meet and greet, we knew our beloved hound was in very good hands. The sitters were kind and welcoming and they took lots of pictures and kept us updated. There are many reputable sitters on this platform so you'll be sure to find someone compatible for your pet and budget. Highly recommend.
PetCloud = peace of mind. We needed three dogs cared for in our home for a week and finding Cassandra via PetCloud was a godsend. We certainly didn't have time to advertise and vet potential house and pet sitters, so knowing the sitters were endorsed by Deb and her team was very reassuring and time-saving. The customer service from both Cassandra and the PetCloud team was helpful and prompt.
Great experience from start to finish, can not fault the sitters I booked on PetCloud :) They were very accommodating, and I would definitely recommend them to anyone! The sitter I booked had their own pet labrador who made a great little playmate for my dog - makes it a lot easier to leave your pet if they are somewhat anxious about being left home alone..this was the first time my 12 month old pup had stayed away from us, and she was so happy I don't think she even noticed when I left!.
I highly recommend PetCloud - it was so easy to find a sitter for my dog Luna for 6 weeks - daily visits and walking. Julie's care for Luna was above and beyond what I could ever expect. Luna just loved Julie's visits and it totally settled her and helped her not to miss me whilst I was away. She looked after Luna like she was her own - that's great piece of mind. I would thoroughly recommend Julie if you need someone to look after your pet - Luna does too.
You Wrote: Petcloud is a great site and would recommend to use. We had Chloe look after our dog and found Chloe to be an amazing pet / house sitter. We came home to a very happy doggy and received lots of photos during Chloe's stay. Chloe has a natural and kind approach to animals, which is why our doggy was super happy the entire stay. Would highly recommend Chloe and we will be using Chloe again to pet / house sit for our gorgeous doggy.
This was the first time we used a pet sitter, my partner and I were worried to have someone we don't know stay in our house but we saw Anna had really good reviews so I thought she would make the experience easier, she did! Anna house sat for us for a week to look after our beautiful old girl, Bella. Anna did such a awesome job, I don't know why I was so worried! She sent us pictures and kept us up to date while we were away, nothing was to much trouble. She even cleaned the house when she left! Would definitely recommend Anna to look after your pets and look after your house, THANKS ANNA!
Great resource..found my cat's perfect match with someone to love him while I take off...
Had an excellent first time experience with Petcloud. Emmalyn and Alison house sat Milly and Moki while we were away. We felt very comfortable when we met them and made leaving our dogs with them so much easier knowing they were going to be in safe hands. They did not disappoint and even messaged us while we were away to keep us informed. Would definitely recommend them, and we would be more than happy to use them again.
I’m so impressed with the service I received Pets on Me insurance company! The customer support team was outstanding—friendly, knowledgeable, and extremely responsive. They helped me understand every part of my policy and tailored it to my needs. The whole claims process was seamless, and I’m grateful for the peace of mind knowing Dusty was covered at such a difficult time. To be honest we can't thank them enough, even calling to see how Dusty was a week later, amazing. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for quality and trustworthy insurance!
Have had reasonable experience with your company. I found your site a bit hard to navigate, but the vet was kind enough to put the paperwork in for me. Many thanks for your services, and I am sorry I have to cancel my policy. As I said my financial income has changed and I have two chihuahuas to take care of and I feel that the premiums will go towards maintaining my puppies. Once again many thanks. Annette Brophy.
My claims experiences have always been exceptional, easy and very fast and the customer service has always been fantastic. The only thing I wish their policies offered was Gap-Cover because many other insurers offer this these days, so it would be a bonus but other than that I highly recommend Pets on Me.
An insurer is tested on paying up the claim, rather than on how they charge the premium. Yes, they are relatively cheap - but it means nothing if they don't pay. And I'm happy to report that I had no problem with claiming a specialised surgery for my dog (worth close to two year's premium). It was the first claim for this dog, but I've got all the documents. No questions, no attempts to exclude initial consultations (as I had with some other insurers). The only complaint I have is that the online claim form is just bad. (And it's an online-only insurer, AFAIK). The form is needlessly complicated, culminating in a fixed drop-down list of some 1000 Latin medical terms where I was supposed to find the diagnosis (and still haven't found). But otherwise, no issues. Their insurance is noticeably different to most others (which are usually underwritten by the same company) and includes liability, which is a big plus for dogs.
Incredible service from PetsOnMe. They are very responsive and quick to process claims. Our dog was recently in hospital for surgery and they covered the entire bill and paid it out within 3 days of submitting the claim. Highly recommend!
It's the first time we've had pet insurance, and we have no complaints (other than the price keeps increasing every year). Otherwise we are happy with its coverage, and they pay back really quick after submitting the claim.
My recent experience with PetsOnMe has been very satisfactory. They are very quick to respond to a claim and reimburse [within hours]. Happy with the service and response from PetsOnMe.
Pets on Me Insurance has been an absolute lifesaver for me and my dog. Their coverage options are comprehensive, ensuring that my pets receive the best care possible without breaking the bank. What truly sets Pets on Me apart is their outstanding customer service. They genuinely care about their customers and go above and beyond to address any concerns or questions. I recently had the pleasure of working with Allyson, one of their Claims Consultants, and I cannot sing her praises enough. Her exceptional service exemplifies the company's commitment to excellence. With Pets on Me Insurance, I have peace of mind knowing that my pets are protected. I highly recommend Pets on Me to any pet owner looking for comprehensive coverage and exceptional service.
Having used a variety of pet insurance companies over the years I remain very happy with the service from Petsonme. Ben has ongoing investigations to his carpal joint that has developed a lump and Petsonme have been a pleasure to deal with.
I would highly recommend Pets on Me. Not only is the premium price reasonable, but the level of cover is amazing and the payout is very fast. Their customer service is amazing too.
Larissa is absolutely fantastic, our little one, Arthur, has been a regular since he was a puppy and is loving his visits. He is treated as a part of the family and we feel very safe leaving him in Larissa's capable hands. Larissa is incredibly knowledgeable and has been a great support over the past years. She is also very flexible when plans change! We would highly recommend Larissa and Woof Inn!
Larissa’s dog daycare has been wonderful for both me and my older dachshund solomon who has separation anxiety. she is kind, attentive, and responsive and I feel completely safe and worry free leaving my dog in her capable hands! would highly recommend to any of my friends or family asking for a dog daycare.
Larissa was wonderful with our 2 little Chihuahuas. It’s really hard to leave little dogs because they need special attention and treatment, and we knew they would love Larissa from the moment we met her. Great care, regular updates and photos, and happy, healthy doggos! Would absolutely recommend Woof Inn!
Larissa provided us with top quality care for our little boy Luffy. She was very responsive in providing us updates of how Luffy was getting on. The booking process was easy, and Larissa provided us with flexibility when we needed it. Luffy enjoyed his time at Woof Inn!
A home away from home. Your dog is treated as a member of the family. All needs are accommodated for. Larissa is very thorough in wanting to cater for any specific requirements your dog may have such as medical and dietary needs.
Totally treated as family....my boys (pugs) were cared for beyond what I expected... absolute royalty!! Larissa you are Gold❤️
We are so happy to have found Sydney Bark Rangers! We use Kate weekly to walk our blue heeler puppy and he now waits by the door daily to see if she’s coming. He comes home happy and exhausted which is exactly what you want! Kate and Jo have also done overnight stays with our pup and it was great knowing he (and our house) were in such good hands. Highly recommend!
Kate has been walking our 2 dogs for a while now. They love her and the walks. You can see the happiness in their faces when they get home. They have also stayed with her on several occasions while we were away. Thank you so much Kate! Potato and Rex are so happy :)
Kate and her team at Sydney Bark Rangers are fantastic. We recently moved from the inner west to the eastern suburbs and had some concerns our dog might struggle given his separation anxiety. Kate provided guidance on this and the doggy daycare/boarding she offers has really helped settle our pup into his new home. Our dog adores her and rushes to the front door whenever he hears her footsteps.
I’ve used Sydney Bark Rangers since August 2019 on many occasions including one 5 week period while I was in hospital. My dog, Summer, was very well taken care of and has since then had lots of walks and been minded in my home for the odd weekend and 10 days over Christmas. Everyone very happy. 🐾🐾 I would highly recommend SBR to anyone.
Very impressed with Sydney Bark Rangers. Kate came over to meet us and collected Twix and her things for her over night stay. I was sent photos of her in the park then later tucked up in bed. Kate brought her back the next day happy and you could see they were great mates. I'll be using Sydney Bark Rangers again to look after Twix.
I can't recommend Bark Rangers highly enough! Kate and team have looked after my Staffy on several occasions for the day and also overnight when I've had to travel. They are reasonably priced, respond quickly and seamlessly fit around my sometimes awkward schedule!
The Bark Rangers are the best! My puppy loves them and it’s wonderful to have such good people to deal with. Everybody’s happy! I have no hesitation recommending the Bark Rangers for all aspects of dog minding and walking. CD Paddington
Kate was amazing and looked after our fur babies as if they were her own. An easy and pleasant experience leaving us with peace of mind. I would definitely recommend Sydney Bark Rangers. Thank you
These guys were awesome! The looked after my house and my dog Mitch superbly for a week whilst we visited family interstate. First time I have used a service like this instead of putting my dog in kennels and it felt so much better and Mitch seemed to love it! Highly recommend these guys. Super easy, reliable and reasonable! Will definitely use again!
Great to deal with. Reasonable prices and easy to organise over text. We've used Sydney Bark Rangers a few times to walk our rescue dog now we're back at work more.
Margaret and Jenni were so helpful in finding the right minder for our dog, given the short notice. The minder was always open to hear our dog requirements and provide so many updates during the time we were away. Our dog never felt alone. Premises were amazing and the opportunity for our dog to feel in family without missing us were great too. Definitely we will be using Don't Fret Pet again for our upcoming trips. Thanks Margaret and Jenni and Mathias & James (The minders) for the all the help during the booking process and for looking after Bailey so well.
Highly recommend this service for your loved fur-baby. Don't Fret Pet (Margaret & Carole) were so very helpful in finding a carer that was conveniently located. Helen the carer was just a pleasure to deal with and we felt very reassured leaving Sassy with her. Helen was obviously experienced looking after dogs and Sassy was very happy and relaxed when we picked her up!
Thank you 'Don't Fret Pet' for providing such a wonderful service. As soon as we applied, you found a carer for our Ruby. We met Christine for a meet and greet. She was so kind and caring and we knew this was the right home for Ruby for the 3 weeks we were away. Ruby loved being at Christine and Billy 's. She was so well looked after and she just loved Billy and they became best friends. This was just the best outcome for Ruby. We knew we could go on holidays and not have a worry. Christine sent us photos and updates so we were really happy. Ruby had a wonderful holiday, she was loved and cared for so well. We would definitely ask Christine to be Ruby's carer when we have another holiday. Thank you for the service and thank you Christine and Billy.
"Don't Fret Pet" is an amazing service! The team was wonderful in finding the perfect sitter for our 9-year-old anxious fur baby, Mylo, who doesn't do well in traditional boarding kennels. Our sitter, Elizabeth, was such a lovely and kind lady. We came back to a very happy and relaxed doggo. I would not hesitate to recommend "Don't Fret Pet". They take the stress out of finding a trusted, reliable sitter. Thank you so much!
It was a pleasure dealing with Margaret and Carole from this very well run company. My dog's minder was excellent - very caring, knowledgeable and competent. I knew my boy would be safe and well cared for.
A great pet minding service that takes the stress out of finding a minder when going away that suits you and your pets needs. My minder was Patricia, who took wonderful care of my nervous little rescue dog, Billy. I really appreciate the loving and caring environment that Patricia provided and have no hesitation on recommending Don't Fret Pet.
Working with "Dont Fret Pet" was an easy and reassuring way to leave my pet whilst we head off on holidays. Jane our carer was lovely and I can see took good care of Heidi with regular updates. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending "Dont Fret Pet" to anyone.
We have used Don't Fret Pet for many years. Unfortunately our previous minder was unable to look after our 2 small dogs. Margaret and Jenny we fantastic and found another minder for us, only 10 minutes from home. We had the meet and greet and were happy and confident the new minder would be able to look after our boys as we do. We are just home from our 4 week holiday and our boys had been very well look after. It was certainly home away home for them. We will definitely be using Don't Fret Pet and our new minder again. Thanks Anthony, Margaret and Carole.
Butler loved his stay with Maya and her children. They took him on several outings and gave him heaps of cuddles. He was clean and pampered when we got him back which was lovely. Would highly recommend the service and Maya.
We were lucky enough to be paired with Elizabeth who looked after our 2 x Jack Russell’s while we went to NZ for a wedding. One of our pups has epilepsy and requires a strict medication schedule and a bit of extra TLC, and it was no problem. Will definitely use these guys again!
Brilliant service, brings a significant peace of mind to have such a kind, thoughtful and professional team of people that are able to care for your beloved pets (and house for that matter) whilst away. Me and my family have used Novella and her teams services for quite some time now to care for our two cats every-time we are away, on each occasion they have been communicative and diligent. Will continue to use in the future. Thank you!
I was very disappointed in the cat sitting services provided. I came home to a starving animal crying out for food, whose bowls of food were completely empty, and had been empty for over 12 hours. Hairy Poppins do not live up to what they state on their website and do not employ pet sitters who genuinely care for your beloved pet whilst you’re away. I would avoid this pet sitter at all costs.
Novella is wonderful and we know she takes good care of our dog when we go away. It's great not having to put our dog into a boarding kennel and worry about unnecessary vaccinations and disrupting his comfort zone. I would definitely recommend Hairy Poppins for other peoples pets.
We found Hairy Poppins to be a highly professional company and a pleasure to deal with. Novella has a wonderful way with our fur babies and truly cares about giving them the best and most comfortable experience possible, along with providing us with regular updates and photos. We cannot recommend Novella and Hairy Poppins highly enough to pet parents who want professional and reliable care for their babies while away.
I almost gave up to go for a vacation with my husband and his friends as I have to look after my four cats and I didn't want to leave them at any pet boarding facility. Luckily I tried to google 'pet sitting' and found Novella @Hairy Poppins Pet Nannies. She is such a sweet girl and a very responsible business owner, most of all - she loves my cats as her own. My cats are very shy, but they get along with Novella so well. Novella took photos for them everyday and sent me messages to let me know they were doing great. I can see from my kids' eyes that they trust Novella and like her very much! I'd highly recommend Hairy Poppins Pet Nannies to my friends. Thank you so much Novella! :-)
Professional, trustworthy, reliable and friendly. Novella looked after my dog as if he was her own. After three months of walks with her team, my dog was the fittest he had ever been! Novella was really easy to deal with, prompt with communication and very flexible. Highly recommend!
Fantastic, efficient, cost effective service - I would, and do, highly recommend Novella and her team to anyone. Hairy Poppins really is all you could need or want from a pet minding service. I have found Novella to be consistently polite, helpful and honest - it was clear from day one that she genuinely wants you to choose the best care for your pets and is there to make a difficult process simple and uncomplicated. Their response time to all communication is fantastic, my initial enquiry was managed within a short window of time which allowed me to confirm plans and travel interstate feeling extremely confident that we were all in safe hands. It doesn't stop there though...I have been given an absolutely fantastic nanny who went above and beyond to meet at short notice, got to know the boys and what they liked, and even agreed to regular cuddles during the days - just because they warmed to her to much! She provides me with text and email updates whilst I'm working interstate which really makes my day! It's great to receive a little note about their day and a few pictures showing the mischief they are up to. The ladies at Hairy Poppins are absolute Angels, whether it's a planned trip or a last minute SOS for help they are there to make life easy and provide you with complete peace of mind.
Novella has looked after our pets on several occasions and we are extremely happy with the service and care she provides. It is very reassuring to know your four-legged family members are happy and comfortable in their own home with a genuinely caring and reliable person attending to their daily needs. Novella even sends us text messages while we're away to let us know all is well at home. We couldn't be happier.
Hairy Poppins Pet Nannies have been looking after our pet family for the past 2 1/2 years and we wouldn't consider anyone else. Our cats are always happy to see us at the end of our holiday and look contented and even a little rotund. Novella even watered our tomato plants this time during the heat wave to try and save them. Its these little considerations that make me consider Hairy Poppins Pet Nannies every time.
Novella at Hairy Poppins cared for our two cats and two somewhat naughty Jack Russell terriers while we were on holidays on several occasions. On one holiday, we were forced to change the care arrangements from one to twice daily visits. Novella was flexible and helpful. Our pets were always well cared for, which meant we could enjoy our holiday without stress.
Our little boy Billie has been going to Centennial Bark for three years and it is wonderful. All the staff and Thomas love dogs and treat them like their own. Grooming is great also.
Nice website, easy to book. Friendly service with easy drop off and pick up. Great wash and cut!
Tom, Holly & the whole team are the best in the business. The only place I’d trust with my fur baby for day care and grooming. Love you work guys 🐶 …
Walked into shop and the Bald headed dude was leaning on the fence and starring into space. Came to the counter and I asked in an extremly friendly manner (not at all abrupt) if he would be interested in receiving a sample pack to trial and he just said he was too busy and rudely walked off.. A then returned to his perch on the fence and continued to stand there and do nothing.... Too busy, I don't think so. A nicer response (especially when not busy) would have been something like, "Sorry mate, 8 can't talk know but please contact...., or please come back another r time'...not how bald headed dude reacted... That's just down right rude and there is no excuse.
My dog always looks so handsome when he's been to Centennial Bark! And he seems to really like everyone (especially Holly). He gets very excited when I say "haircut" and always trots around very proud of himself after his appointments.
Tom and his entire team at Centennial Bark are fantastic. They clearly care a lot for the dogs, and ensure that they have an enjoyable day, every day, in a clean, safe, and engaging environment. Having excellent quality grooming available during daycare stays as an optional extra is just a bonus. My only concern is that my dog might like daycare more she likes me.
Great doggy day care. My pup comes home happy and exhausted for the next 24 hours. I love knowing my pup is well cared for and happy while I'm at work.
I went to Centennial Bark for the 1st time today to have my Cairn Terrier Reggie hand stripped. I’d been other places and not always happy as stripping is a fine art but Holly was amazing. Reggie looks fabulous and Holly was brilliant. I can’t recommend them highly enough.
My Japanese Spitz is very dramatic and has had issues with some groomers in the past. Having just moved from NZ, we were trying to find a new groomer and decided to bring him to Holly. It is SUPER unfortunate that he decided to be uncooperative when it came to brushing, but Holly didn't charge us for what she had already done! Service is next level, really wished CB was our new regular groomer 😔
Took our long haired groodle puppy who was in desperate need of grooming and de matting following all the rain. We were expecting a fully shaved dog but were blown away with how amazing he looks and how much hair was kept. So very pleased with the service and competitive price. We can't thank your team enough.
Very happy with the care my elderly dog received at Blayney Barkers Boutique Holiday kennels. Pearl sent me photos of my dog and gave me dog biscuits and car airfreshers when I picked him up next morning. Will use her kennels again.
I just wanted to commend Renae at Deepwater Boarding kennels NSW for the excellent care she took of our 14 year old, (very particular and fussy) Maltese Shitzu , Mr Boots. He was happy, healthy and full of beans after a three night stay playing with Renae’s other small doggies. We will definitely leave him with her again
Great stay for Choom at Barkers Boutique Holiday Kennels Aprile spoilt him rotten 😀 …
Very useful
I don’t personally hang out there because Im a human (bummer) but my dog told me he LOVES the Hound Lounge. It’s where he catches up with all his mates twice a week and makes sure their butts still smell friendly. He also gets so many belly rubs from the wonderful humans who work there! What a deal especially when he’s not the one paying the bill! Luckily the Hound Lounge is very affordable for his humans! He’s even has a BFF called Loki he met there (see the pics) and they love to play and give each other lots of kisses. I know this because I get a cute report card after he visits and they post tons of adorable pictures on their socials. What a world we live in!
If you're like me, you only want the best for your furry lil pal. Well, look no further, because The Hound Lounge are the best doggie daycare in town. My dog has been attending The Hound Lounge for the past two years (roughly 60 sessions), and his excitement when I tell him he's going to daycare has never faded. The team are experienced, caring, friendly, and transparent. All attributes of someone you want to look after your dog. Since attending The Hound Lounge, my dog has improved his communication with other dogs, become more social, and is overall a happier (an exhausted!) dog after a day at daycare. The level of care and attention my dog receives makes The Hound Lounge worth every penny.
My aloof grumpy small hound wagged his tail the other day as I dropped him off. This is a success! While the dog doesn't seem terribly thrilled at being abandoned to doggie daycare every Wednesday, I've found the staff warm, welcoming, understanding and they genuinely care for the dogs. Super nice to stressed owners as well. Also the report cards are a hoot. Thanks hound lounge! Dogtax photo of the beast attached.
Great evening classes in addition to their wonderful day care (we haven’t tried because I work from home but we get echoes from others in our class who are clients!). The evening classes by Speak Dog offer a controlled and safe environment to achieve all kinds of new skills. Regardless of the class topics, there’s a lot to benefit from having a place to practice calm and self control around other people and dogs. The Hound Lounge is always **spotless** and smells clean, is well equipped and spacious with three different enclosed indoor parks to have different groups of dogs to match similar socialising/activity needs or sizes.
I have not been in a situation with previous pups that I needed somewhere for our pup to be safe secure and loved. He is initially quite timid. We have been sending him to gods Hound lounge since he was fully vaccinated. The level of care and professionalism is wonderful ,as a person that used to train and trial dogs you get a feeling about a place, my feeling for hound lounge is very positive. Could not recommend them enough.
The inner west is lucky to have a place like this. Accepting small to large breed dogs for full day care services including specialised training for the furbabies. Our dog is a regular and he loves going. Very talented staff who are trained vet nurses, advanced dog trainers and all round dog lovers.
Our Lulu has been going to Hound Lounge for 18 months and she loves it. The staff are great and the care they provide is exceptional.
Have completed 3 private lessions with Betty, an amazing trainer with 'Speak Dog' & signed up for more group lessons. We have a very sweet & beautiful but overly reactive, strong & exuberant standard poodle pup. The lessons have been very positive for our baby but made me realise it's the humans that need to learn. Just love watching Betty handle our dog & it all seems so natural & easy but it's like handling our kids, they just don't do as well with their parents. I am determined however that with Betty's expert guidance, knowledge & patience, our pooch will settle & stop breaking my bones! I really appreciate the support that Betty has given us & highly recommend her as a dog trainer. She definitely speaks dog!
My dog is crazy active and hyper when she gets the zoomies. This place is such a relief when there is no one home for extended periods of time, as I can safely drop my pupper off and know she is having the best time (and not destroying the house). My dog absolutely loves the staff (sometimes more than she loves me) and loves her new puppy friends. The staff have always been respectful towards me as a client and are very intuitive with my dogs behaviours (always flick me a text when they are worried that she is stressed/ overstimulated). Recommend this place 100%
The Hound Lounge have been responsible for my dog Sally's training and well-being since she was a tiny puppy - they taught her pretty much everything she knows about how to dog in a busy urban world! They are exceptionally hard-working and diligent, we would not be where we are today without the love and care of The Hound Lounge team.
