Noelene and Udo recently pet and house sat for us for approximately 3 and 1/2 weeks. They were professional, reliable and took remarkably good care of our baby Hazel. Communication was periodically difficult for us being at sea for some of the holiday, but there were always lovely photos waiting for us when we were back in radio contact. Our home was clean and tidy on our return, and Hazel was obviously happy, safe and content in her own space. Thank you both for taking such good care of Hazel and for you organisation and resourcefulness. We highly recommend Noelene and Udo as Zeewoi.
We were really happy to have Christian look after Maisie and our home whilst we were away. Communication was excellent before and during the sit - it was great to be able to meet with him a couple of days before the visit to introduce him to our home and Maisie. Would definitely recommend Christian as a sitter and hopefully he’ll be able to sit for us again the future.
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?

Leanne has taken care of our toy cavoodle on countless occasions and has always done a fabulous job. She is very experienced and easily manages our older dog and we can relax going on holidays knowing our fur baby is having a ball and being well looked after. It's a great opportunity for our pup to socialise in a calm and safe environment with other small dogs. 5 🌟’s
Not yet rated (3 Reviews) Active Simone Kingston recommends Mosman Oodle Holidays. Just now · Shared with Only me Only me I cannot thank Leanne enough for what she has recently done for our family. Leanne answered a desperate post from me when my mum was suddenly taken to hospital last month and I needed to find someone to look after her much loved Louis. Leanne was amazing, she just stepped in and looked after him, leaving my sister and I to focus on looking after our mum. Louis had some health issues so she dealt directly with the vet, organised his food, had him groomed and even taught him some new tricks. She was incredible. Sadly mum ended up having to go from hospital into long term care and Leanne again stepped up and made this hard time easier for us all by finding Louis a beautiful forever home. She has been our angel, making what has been a very emotional time where we are overwhelmed with big decisions and simply making a part of it easier. We are forever grateful to her, she is a beautiful woman with a big heart a true dog lover. Any dog that goes to stay with Leanne is one lucky pup!
Our 13 year old labradoodle Jazzi has four nights with Leanne we felt very comfortable leaving her in such safe hands. During this time there was a massive heat wave Leanne kept in touch and assured us Jazzi was in air conditioning and very well . Jazzi came home extremely content .... we definately will be sending her to Leanne next time we go away .
Leanne has looked after Gus for us for many years. We have had so many stress free holidays because of her. She is amazing and so caring. Thank you Leanne
Leanne is the best and most caring in the world. My small Moodle Weezy looks better and healthier than when I dropped him for few weeks. Highly recommended. Thank you 🙏🏼
We have always had a terrific experience with Gina and her team! So compassionate and caring, efficient and unflappable. Even when my sensitive pup threw up en route the driver was super kind and sweet with her. She absolutely adores that driver now! Highly recommended!
Gina and her team are an absolute God send to nervous Pet Parents. The service is seamless from the initial phone call. All staff genuinely adore animals and keep in regular contact with emails and photos. I am so pleased I found this wonderful service.
I left my cat with Paws Galore over Christmas for nearly a month while travelling overseas. I liked the idea of Milo not to be trapped inside the cage like in most of the other boarding places, but to stay in a similar to home setting. The pet sitter (Marina) had a very good care of Milo! I enjoyed getting the daily photos and videos from them seeing him relaxed and enjoying himself. The pick up and drop off experience was excellent too, as I didn’t have to leave home and travel, which is a great bonus! Thank you Gina for your business!
Paws Galore were great from start to finish, not only will I be using them again but would highly recommend them. Holly was fantastic in keeping me up to date on how my cat Spencer was getting on when he stayed with Janelle, from the photos and videos they became fast friends and he returned a very happy chap. The pick up& drop off service they offer is very convenient and supplying your pets things ensures they have all the home comforts in an unfamiliar environment. This was my first time using a pet sitting service opposed to a cattery, and I wish I tried it sooner!
I highly recommend Paws Galore, from the moment I spoke to Gina to the end she was so attentive she placed my dog Romeo with a wonderful family.They kept me updated with lots of photos daily . It gave me peace of mind knowing that he was so well looked after. Making it stress free while enjoying my time away. Their pickup and drop off service is also a great help. I have since booked Romeo again for when we go away in January. Thank you Gina and the Team . You are AMAZING 🤩
Gina and the team looked after our beloved Harry on several occasions. What we love about the service is that Gina matching the right dog sitter with the dog. Harry has stayed with a couple of different sitters, and each time he's had a wonderful holiday. Moreover, the communication from pick up to drop off has been exemplary. We would not hesitate to use Paws Galore again.
I searched and contacted many services to find an option for my puppy for an upcoming holiday and Paws Galore were just amazing from first contact to post the return of my puppy. They went above and beyond from the moment I made contact searching for someone willing to take a puppy on and from there they took care of everything including scheduling pick up and return. During her stay I received regular photos and updates giving me peace of mind and enabling me to relax during my puppies first stay away from me. It could have not been easier for me and it cost less than a boarding service for such a premium opportunity. It was such a well executed service from beginning to end which shows how well managed and operated this service is. I don’t usually leave reviews however this was a truly impressive service that I can not recommend highly enough. Thanks you Hollie, Gina, the paws galore team and the amazing sitters Claire and family.
Gina is the best. We are long term customers and she takes the best care of our hound both walking and sitting. Highly recommend her and her team
Paws Galore is the best! I’ve used them a few times now, and Gina is amazing. She’s super caring, reliable, and just really goes the extra mile. Highly recommend if you need a pet sitter! 🐾 …
Paws Galore is a fabulous pet sitting service that goes above and beyond. They are so helpful, reliable, and professional and bonus - they even include pickup and drop-off services. I was really nervous leaving my dog Rory the first time as he’s a rescue dog that can get anxious at times. I couldn’t have been happier - The pet sitters treated Rory like their own, provided daily photo updates and messages which really put my mind at ease. Now when I go away, I can travel guilt free knowing that Rory is on holiday too. He’s since gone back at least six times, all of which have been fabulous. If you're looking for a pet sitting service that offers reliable, fantastic care, and peace of mind, then I cannot recommend Paws Galore highly enough!
Thanks to the whole team for running such a fantastic doggie daycare! My dog loves coming here and it's great to know she's so well looked after and happy.
Best doggie day care ever! Doggy daycares usually just have a couple people watching the dogs for safety and mostly leave the dogs to entertain themselves. DoggieLove team puts insane amounts of effort into making sure dogs have the best time every time: actively engaging playtime with toys, hunting treats, so many pats, daily walks, and ensuring they get sleep too. They even had a Santa visit for Christmas! The dogs here are having better time here than human kids at human daycares.
Really friendly staff and small dog friendly. Our dog is very anxious and struggles to fit in in day care but has definately come out of his shell a bit more than usual (we can see in the daily videos instead of hiding in a back corner he's standing close to all the other dogs)
I’m so impressed with how dedicated Carol and her team are about looking after our puppies. The quality of the centre and structure to ensure they have playtime, walks and naps is truly outstanding. I would highly recommend this business and love how happy my cocker spaniel is every time she plays at doggie love. ❤️
I cannot rave more about Carol and her team! My extremely high maintenance cavoodle forgets about me within 5 mins of being there. I love their raw instagram updates and open glass windows you can see the pups through. Big fan of this wholesome doggy daycare!
Really lovely team led by Carol that looks after the dogs. My dog always seems to have such a great day. Doggie Love does really well with intraday photos and videos on Instagram so you get to see how your pup is doing. They just ask for a short introduction to see how your dog gets on with the other dogs etc.
It's clear to see my dog enjoys daycare here! I have never seen my dog warm up to strangers so quickly but he absolutely adores the owner of the place.
DoggieLove is my dog’s favourite place in the world. Lovely staff and amazing facilities 💕 best dogs boutique’s services in north side. 🐶 …
My puppy absolutely LOVES going here! The staff are so friendly I feel completely safe leaving my puppy with them.
Amazing facility for our four legged friends with caring staff. Instagram posts are amazing
Love Mad Paws! So nice to have my dog cared for by Savin and his family each time we go away 🤩 I know my dog is looked after and loved. So lovely to receive pics of him while we’re away too. Thanks so much for caring for my little darling while we’re away 🥰 …
We recently had an unfortunate experience with Adrian, who we found through MadPaws. Our 6-year-old Golden Retriever, Benji, stayed with him last week, and while the sitter had great reviews and the meet-and-greet with his Maremmano dog went smoothly, our experience was far from what we had hoped for. When we picked Benji up, we noticed a lot of blood on his thigh. At first, we thought it might be a scratch, but once we got home, we discovered five puncture wounds, which were clearly bite marks. We were devastated and rushed Benji to the emergency vet twice that night to ensure he received the care he needed. We messaged the sitter to let him know what had happened and shared photos of the wounds. Initially, he denied that his dog could have bitten Benji, claiming he always monitors the dogs. While we weren’t accusing him, we simply wanted to share our experience so he could take extra precautions in the future. Unfortunately, he did not respond to our concerns at first. After following up to express how upsetting the situation was and mentioning we would leave feedback on MadPaws to inform other pet owners, he finally apologized. However, we felt that the response lacked genuine empathy or acknowledgment of the seriousness of what happened. We are sharing this feedback not to defame the sitter but to inform other pet owners. If you are considering this sitter, please be aware of his dog’s behavior and ensure your pet’s safety. We don’t want any other pets to go through what Benji endured. Benji is recovering now, but this experience has left us deeply shaken. As pet owners, we understand how important it is to ensure our furry friends are safe and well-cared for when we’re away, and we hope this feedback helps others make an informed decision.
Tiago and his partner were absolutely wonderful with having our puppy sleep over for a night. They were lovely to deal with and treated our little man with such care and kindness. We highly recommend Mad Paws. What an awesome and easy service to use. 🐾
Dont use these services, just google pet sitters and walkers and have a chat with one of them about options, all pet sitters are different and you will be able to find someone who suits your needs without letting Mad Paws take a cut for no reason at all, they provide nothing.
Terrible company, after contacting about 50 sitters who are either overpriced or keep declining I’m still yet to find someone who can look after my pets. The app is horrid and keeps crushing and the fee they want to take makes the whole sitting unaffordable. Would not recommend
Great business very easy to use and our pet sitter was amazing our dog loved her stay. Will be using her again for sure. Can 100% recommend Mad Paws
I've been using mad paws for over a year and had great sitters each time. I like that you can see reviews before booking with someone. We have a few sitters now that we use on a regular basis.
Mad Paws is a fantastic service that put me in touch with great dog people. The system was really easy to use, I was able to review potential pet sitters based on their profile, reviews and proximity to my home. Booking and payment was secure and simple. Each pet sitter has looked after our puppy perfectly and sent photo updates while we were away. Our dog returned home happy and relaxed. I can highly recommend this service.
Mad Paws is a great service that put me in touch with a wonderful cat sitter. The system was really easy to use - I was able to review potential pet sitters based on their profile and reviews, and proximity to my home. Booking and payment was secure and simple. Fiona, the caring sitter that looked after my two cats did everything perfectly and sent me updates during my time away. The cats were relaxed and happy when I returned. I can highly recommend this service.
I found Mad Paws by accident and was very impressed with this service. The booking process is quick, easy and support is always available if required. The prices are very reasonable in my opinion. My dog had a great time as the sitter owns two dogs so he had a lot of bonding with his new mates. I'll definite use Mad Paws from now on as it was a very positive experience for me and my dog and totally opposite to the kennel which I found impersonal, expensive and jail-like.
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
Whenever I go away, if David can't come with me I always turn to Doggy Walking to look after him for me and he always comes back happy and healthy. I'm a massive worrier but they answer my endless questions and help put my mind at ease and send daily updates with photos for the duration of the trip. Most recently I was overseas for 2 weeks and David stayed with Kayla and her family and they did a wonderful job looking after him. Thanks team :)
Our Bonnie Lassie was walked by Lauren whilst I was away overseas. We had a two week meet/greet & walking dates prior to me leaving. I needed to be sure they were a good fit. Lauren was immediately accepted & loved by Bonnie. Lauren had a great rapport with Bonnie & demonstrated excellent skills with managing, interacting & walking our Border Collie - Bonnie. I felt very confident that Bonnie was in good hands whilst I was away. The service sent me an email after each walking session & I always felt in 'in the loop' whilst I was away. Due to my husband's frailty, I gave Lauren a gate key for easy access & return of our Bonnie Lassie. Lauren's responsibility and accountability with this requirement was exceptional. I can confidently recommend the Doggy Walking service & Lauren. Lauren, a special thank you again for loving our beautiful Bonnie Lassie & I must say I do think she is missing you. Cheers, Carmel
Great service. Walks were consistent, reliable and always high quality. Walks with Jin at Doggy Walking were a genuine highlight of our dog - Charlie's- days. Charlie is a high-energy Kelpie X and she could hardly contain her excitement whenever Jin arrived to pick her up. She always returned home happy and tired from her walks. Knowing she would receive a good walk in the middle of the day made it much easier to leave her home alone for a few hours. Cath is very professional, reliable and responsive. The associated Doggy Walking app is also great - you receive a notification when your dog is collected and another notification when they're dropped back home. Jin also sent photos from on her walks (some attached here). We couldn't recommend Doggy Walking more strongly.
A great experience after leaving my 6 month old puppy Kindle for the first time. Sophie and the team were amazing in setting me up with their one of their sitters, Hannah. Who took care of kindle like her own. A very seamless process and removed a lot of stress for me. Will book again definitely!
Walkers from Doggy walking have been walking our fur babies for years. They have all been very caring and loving with them and taken great care of them. Kath, the owner, is always so accomodating and quick to respond to any messages or emails. She selects and employs wonderful walkers and takes care of her clients. I highly recommended Doggy Walking.
I have been using Caths dog walking service from when my dachshund was a small puppy. She emailed through loads of dog training material and helped when our puppy was a bit scared and hesitant to walk outside. Kate, our regular weekly walker from Caths team is always on time and will send regular updates and pictures of Zeus at the park (the picture attached is one we got sent from her). She has always been able to jump in last minute whenever we have needed her. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for a regular dog walker
Use Doggy Walking for 1st time, was bit hesitant. But met Michelle and she put us at ease. Michelle looked after Indie so well, I could not speak more highly of her. Kept us updated and took Indie to many beaches whiich Indie loved. Miss Indie couldn,t have been looked better. Thankyou Michelle
Mia absolutely adores Josephine! Every time Josephine arrives, Mia jumps with excitement. Josephine is reliable, professional, and clearly loves what she does. We highly recommend her!
Simply excellent. Our dog Xena is always well looked after and loved. Skye is fabulous and sends me photos of her adventures. Cath has looked after Xena everytime we have been away and I wouldn't trust anyone else.
We organised through doggy walking to have our dog walked once a week with Luke. Kobi always came home happy, exhausted but most of all when we told it was walkies day with Luke he lost his mind! I couldn't be more happier with the service, effort and communication from Luke and he was always flexible to our needs Highly recommended 👌
