Andreas swooped in at the last minute to cover us for a trip back to the UK. Since he last cat sit for us, one of our cats has become terminally ill and requires twice daily medication. This was the first time we'd left the cat since he got diagnosed and I was very anxious about it but Andreas did an excellent job. He was very careful about finding out how to give the medications and sent me photos twice a day every day of the cat taking his tablets. The cats love him and I felt completely reassured because Andreas is very sensible and a great communicator. The flat was beautifully tidy when we came back, as always. Andreas is a great cat sitter and I would really strongly recommend him!
This was our first petsitter and I am afraid we are spoiled from now on! Interacting with Ellen was a fantastic experience from start to finish. She was great at communicating and did a great job taking care of our cats and home. She was very patient as we were a bit tired, rushed and disorganized when she arrived. She left our house tidier than we left it. She is also smiling, friendly and interesting so the little time we had to get to know her was fun too! I highly recommend her!
Danny and Jo did a great job caring for our 3 cats and fish AND lots of plants (and home of course) while we were out of town for 3 weeks. We came back to a very clean house, sheets, and towels all clean and folded and fresh sheets on the bed they were using. The plants were all alive too, which is a first for us (again, we have a lot of plants!). The cats were happy to see us and they were all accounted for (a past sitter lost a cat for a week - they escaped outside as a non-outside cat). Everything was in its place and looked great. We received regular updates (via text) with photos of the cats lounging about which was important for us. Danny asked good questions when they visited us before the sit, and when reviewing our pet/house sitting instructions. The only thing we noticed that was different was that our 2 young cats were a little lighter (not necessarily a bad thing) but we understand that being gone for that length of time can be stressful on our furry family, which almost always affects their eating habits. All in all, we would definitely have them again!
This is a wonderful sit, Mandy and Peter are lovely and communicated well. The animals are such characters and so charming, and worked their way into our hearts. I would say it’s a two-person sit, the dogs are big and require some vigilance but totally manageable. Beautiful house and neighbourhood and overall a great sit.

We’ve had such a great experience with DogsHQ South Melbourne! Chopper absolutely loves it and gets so excited on the days he goes. The staff are attentive, professional, caring, and always so friendly. It’s clear they genuinely care about the dogs in their care. The facility is clean and safe, which gives us peace of mind knowing our boy is having a great time while being well looked after. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and fun daycare for their dog!
I cannot speak highly enough about DOGS HQ South Melbourne. All the staff are incredibly lovely, and nothing is too much trouble. Best of all, I know my puppy is being well looked after, so I don’t need to worry. If you’re looking for doggy daycare, do your puppy a favour and send them to DOGS HQ South Melbourne!
My work moved offices right near Dogs HQ a few months ago, so I’ve been taking Rocket once a week ever since. He has the BEST time, look at that smile! Not only do they give him so much attention, and lots of mental stimulation and play but they also post plenty of photos and videos during the day so I get to see how much fun he has! 🥰
Dogs HQ South Melbourne is hands down the best doggy daycare in the area! The staff are super attentive to your furry loved ones, always responsive to your queries and I know my puppy has an amazing day each time he goes! Highly recommend if you are in the South Melbourne area.
Our Boston Terrier Lottie has been coming here now for a few months. She absolutely loves it and comes home on an evening very played out! It is peace of mind to us that she is well looked after and cared for during her stay there by the amazing staff and we can also see what she gets up to on their regular Instagram or Facebook updates. Highly recommended!
On behalf of my weim, we love DogsHQ. He loves the play he gets with other dogs and his humans love how happy and tired he comes after each visit. Also the bonus is the videos we get to see of him having the best time.
Our rambunctious 5 month old puppy Emmett goes to Day Care 1 to 2 times a week and absolutely LOVES it. We feel he is in safe hands with the regular updates we get on instagram, and the team know him well by name. He is so excited to arrive in the morning and he gets to socialise and play till his heart's content. Thank you Dogs HQ South Melbourne team for looking after Emmett!
We are thrilled with the level of care Dogs HQ offers. Kobe can’t wait to get in and play with his friends. He is always well looked after, the staff know him and always offer us little pieces of information about his day. I love following on with Kobe’s day on Instagram. Very big thank you to all the staff at Dogs HQ
I’ve been taking my 1 year old Cavoodle to dogs HQ since he was 5 months old. Reo absolutely loves going there. I am sure it is his favourite place. The staff do an amazing job looking after him. When I pick Reo up he is exhausted from having so much fun! It is clean, the dogs have a blast there. You get to watch your pup on the socials and get many photos! I highly recommend Dogs HQ! I sometime wish they open on weekends too this way I can put Reo there if I need to knowing he will be taken great care of. I can’t thank the staff enough there. 🐶💙
This is a great puppy daycare! Milo has been enjoying every single time he’s been there. He is a mini dachshund and I started taking him ever since he got all his shots. Great for keeping your pup busy and socialice.The staff is lovely and very helpful. You get regular updates through their instagram account . All dogs seem to be having a blast.
Our beautiful fur babies stayed for 10 days before their flight overseas to move to our new home … for two young socially anxious pups one of which is scarred of all men (apart from my husband) they absolutely loved their stay and were clearly so well cared for and loved !!! The pet postcards we regularly received were so detailed , reassuring & beautiful … Our dogs stayed with an independent dog sitter a few months ago and were treated appallingly , we actually got abusive calls & messages from the lady every day telling us our (at the time 6 month old puppy) was the worst dog she’d ever met and that she hated him and that he had a terrible personality and was the most terribly trained dog she’d ever met , she even told us to get on a 14 hour flight and come home a week early with our 8 month old child before receiving our visas because she hated him so much … our experience with the Pet Hotel couldn’t have been any further from that , actually they described our little man as well mannered, loving and so many other things that describe his personality perfectly & instead of tears each morning we had big smiles and warm hearts … our beautiful girl came out of her shell completely over the duration of her stay & we were told that staff loved getting to see her sweet little personality flourish in their presence … they spent so much time making friends with lots of other dogs of the same & similar breed and size & we honestly couldn’t recommend sending your fur babies here more !!! So glad we did … I don’t think they would have done as well as they did on their first ever flight if it wasn’t for their stay with this company …Thank you to everyone who cared for Yuna & Tidus from start to finish 😊
Great experience booking online and welcoming when we dropped off George. Although they didn't have a webcam, they posted a photo of out pooch with a smile from ear to ear. I Highly recommend them. Pick up and drop off times are well communicated and fair. They made the whole experience positive and looked after our old boy, George with the care expected. Thanks Pets Hotel Team....
The Pets Hotel in Port Melbourne has been my ‘go to’ place to send my pets to when I’m away. First Jay the Sheltie, now Anzac the cat. They have taken the time & care to get to know them and make them comfortable. They have always returned happy & healthy with a summary of how they got along during their time there. Good to know, when you’re away, that they will get the care & attention they need and any action required. Highly Recommend.
We love The Pets Hotel for the amazing team and how they care for our dog. We always return, knowing our dog will be happy and safe in this hotel. Great customer service, friendly, welcoming atmosphere, and happy staff. Clean place and has so many things to offer to dogs and cats.
Great place to leave your pet during your time away. We were gone for 22 days and the staff feedback was excellent. We have a somewhat unsocial dog and upon checkout, we were informed she took to one staff member in particular and looked forward to playtime and did very well. This is her third stay at the hotel and the feedback was encouraging.
I use Pets Hotel all the time for my dog, Carlos, and I couldn’t be happier with the care they provide. The staff genuinely love Carlos, and it’s clear they treat him like family. The facilities are always clean and welcoming. Carlos always comes home happy and well-rested. If you’re looking for a pet hotel where your dog will be treated with love and attention, I highly recommend Pets hotel
I've been trusting Steve & his team with my fur-kids for the last few years and I can honestly say I wouldn't leave them anywhere else. They know exactly how to cope with their very different personalities and give me reports at the end of every stay which really puts my mind at ease. I can't wait to book them into the new suites coming soon! Would recommend without hesitation.
easy access and parking though no security such as fence or gate if your dog was to escape from you in the car park. Nice reception area with wonderful check in people. Collecting the dogs was a piece of cake, straight forward with no fuss. Both dogs were happy, healthy looking, well fed!, and freshly bathed. Will use their services again if needed. Thank you for a seamless experience
Absolutely delighted with the care provided for our border collie Bernie. The team were amazing in providing excellent customer service at all stages, keeping us informed of how Bernie was going via email, and going above and beyond with extra attention to ensure her stay was a good one. Thank you to all the team at The Pets Hotel.
Our Samoyed “buddy” drags us in every time we take him for his weekly day care or when he is boarding there. On day care days he is so tired after reaching home that he sleeps straightaway. Buddy has been going to pets hotel since he was 3months old and now he is almost 1. Staff has slowly introduced him to others dogs as he is in the face wanting to play 100% of the time and daycare at pets hotel has taught him some manners on how to interact without getting growled at. After his recent boarding we noticed pets hotel has carefully managed his play and sleep times to not get him super tired when we went to pick him after a week and his double coat looked in good condition after the complimentary bath included with the boarding. Staff gave us positive feedbacks about his stay there and buddy had no stomach issues with the food provided in boarding. Great place to leave your furry friends in a professional setting without worrying about their well being and the pet sitter cancelling at the last moment.
Started taking my two boys to Diggiddy Doggy Daycare in South Melbourne. Its only been few visits but they seem to be liking it so far, playing with and meeting new friends, and building their confidence. Loving the report cards after each visit letting us know what they've been up to ☺️ I look forward though for photo update to see my boys faces actually enjoying their time (we're used to be flooded with photo updates back from the old daycare which was really great), and it will be good to have something to show my friends whenever they ask which facility I take them to.
I have had such a pleasant experience with Diggiddy Dog Daycare in South Melbourne from the moment I called and spoke with the lovely Emma to visiting each week with all of the friendly staff that make you feel so welcome. I am a first time dog mum with a husky (Betty) who is a rescue and suffers with very bad desperation anxiety. Each visit my baby gets more and more comfortable and confident thanks to the amazing team of professionals who care, nurture and encourage her. I am so excited to continue our visits and watch her grow and flourish. Not only does my baby Betty have a pleasant experience (she is always smiling so big in her photos) but the team make me feel so welcome. They remember my name, greet me with a smile and excitement as they share how Betty went at her visit. Thanks to all the amazing staff members. Betty and I truly love being apart of Diggiddy 🩷
I have always felt emotionally positive about leaving my dog with the staff at Diggidy Doggy Day Care. They personalise my dog’s experience and she always comes home with a big smile on her face as well as being well entertained and ready for a big rest at night!
This is the best daycare for pups and dogs. Harley (our 2 year old TT) has been coming here for nearly a year. He started off as a shy (and sometime reactive) boy, but quickly grew in confidence. He LOVES the team (who are all huge dog lovers) - Stef, Whitney and the groomers - and especially LOVES the amazing dogs. I have peace of mind knowing he is being looked after as the team match the right energy dogs together. I highly recommend this amazing place.
My puppy loves Diggity Dog, staff are soooo good! always feel comfortable leaving him there in good hands...report cards are a laugh a minute..picture attached of how he ends up after a day at Diggity! thanks crew!
They don't return calls, Tried to book the lovely groomer ( she is wonderful) but office staff don't follow up.
My puppy Bryn has been coming here once a week for a few weeks now and he’s always very excited whenever we come in through the door, so I’m confident that he likes the service. From my perspective the staff are always an absolute dream to speak to and all clearly have a deep love and respect for dogs. They also post pictures of your dog on a private group so that you can see them and you get a little report of your dogs day which is a nice touch. Right now I feel very confident leaving my dog with the team and hope to be a satisfied customer for years to come. EDIT I’ve been taking Bryn for a year now and he’s still scrambling to get in the building as soon as we arrive so he must still be enjoying it. The team are consistent with their attentive approach to customer service and I couldn’t feel more comfortable leaving my dog with them. Cheers guys.
Coming to Diggiddy is Monty's favourite thing to do. He just loves everyone there, staff and doggie companions. He tells everyone all about it on the car journey in, and can hardly wait to get in the door and start having fun. He enthusiastically joins in all activities and his behaviour and socialisation have improved greatly during the years he has attended Diggiddy. It is a great outlet for his boundless energy, and then he comes home and chills out, as you can see! Thanks for being there everyone at Diggiddy. xxx
My little girl Izzy loves it here. The staff are very friendly and Izzy loves them so much. Anywhere else I leave her she cries when I walk away. When we arrive at diggity she doesn’t even look back. She has a lot of energy and can be a handful but the staff are never bothered by it, they seem to love her even more for it! She’s a more settled, happy dog after she has been there for a day. Highly recommend to anyone looking for dog day care.
The first time my little Pippi's day care experience at the ripe old age of 11! She was a little timid at first and didn't really join in. The staff had her in a area on her own and slowly introduced new friends to her, whilst she got used to the environment and was not overwhelmed. I am pleased to say that after just two visits, Pip is very happy to attend. The staff are very caring, friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend Diggidy!
Best daycare in the west! They are always expecting my dog by name when he arrives and he has such a great time. He’s high energy so I know can be a handful but they’ve been proactive in working with him and creating an environment that works for him (and their other dogs). Online logistics are great, super easy to book days and check packages.
I almost hate to review this amazing business because I don’t really want it to get any busier than it is, but I feel like I owe this wonderful team some credit where it is due. Our dog goes here at least once a month to get her energy out and connect with her doggo friends. The staff here are skilled, very organised, careful about the temperament of each dog and the group they play with, and are careful to assess each dog before it is given the green light to attend ongoing. It’s a little expensive, but we know our dog will be taken care of and have the time of her life each time she goes. A wonderful bonus is the photos taken each day so that you can see just how fun your dog is having!! Thanks lovely team for being so great!
Ginger's introduction was a happy half day. The photos and video sent showed me she was relaxed, happy and certainly not showing any nervousness being among a group of dogs, She was happy to see me, but not frantic to leave. She slept all afternoon! She's definitely going to be a regular!
We love sending our fur baby here! He always has a great time! We love the daily photo updates too 🤗. The staff are super friendly and helpful. The team always do their best to accommodate your needs! We wouldn’t send him anywhere else!
These guys are brilliant. They are genuinely passionate about what they do and take great care of Chewy. We started on one day a week and he now goes three days each and every week because he enjoys it so much. Cannot recommend them highly enough.
Most awesome doggy day care around! Our puppa cannot wait to go, she is so excited when we pull up out front, which says so much about the brilliant team at urban paws. Genuine quality care and love.
Hi Urban Paws Yarraville Crew, Service at Urban Paws is exceptional the girls are all super welcoming and friendly. I love how images are posted on a daily on facebook being able to see what my furbaby Archie is up to. Archie loves day and is always content after a day with Urban Paws Yarraville Doggy Daycare. Urban Paws also make the experience personal by saying who Archie played with during day. Thanks guys for your on going customer service and kindness love Diana and Archie xx
I am very happy with the service. The staff is amazing and you can see that they truly care for your dog's well being. We definitely recommend to anyone who would want their fur baby taken care of.
This is just a happy place, for dogs & humans ! Great service - our Polly gets collected twice a week, for fun times with all her mates. When she first started, the staff took time to teach her some basic behavioral skills, and that has set us all up for a great relationship ! Videos of her play time sent to our phones and lots of attention - Polly loves it ! For all dogs - Big & Small.
This doggy daycare is amazing, our little furry boy is obsessed. Lots of other dogs to play with. I love how they post photos so you can see how much fun your pooch is having! Highly recommend this dog daycare.
Our Pug Ollie was well looked after by Vern Ryan Pet Resort and the wonderful staff at Caulfield Vet Check in Centre. Ollie came back happy and we were able to spend time away without any stress at all. Highly recommend - professional and love animals 10/10!
Good place to be
