We had a unique situation where my husband & I were traveling and my adult children were house/pet/garden sitting before they also joined us on our trip. Carol took the time to build a visit to my house into her schedule a few weeks before the sit started so that I could show her everything, given that I would not be there upon her arrival. This gave me such peace of mind and I was able to thoroughly enjoy my trip to South Africa, where I would be largely off-grid and uncontactable. Carol was thorough and caring. Both of my dogs need medication (one daily, the other on occasion) and Carol was able to keep up with their medication seemly without issue. The other fairly significant task is my pretty extensive gardens, both flowers (many in pots) and vegetables. The weather was very hot while Carol was tending my garden, but even with the grueling heat Carol was able to keep everything alive! Very impressive. Carol was extremely capable and as a result I was able to fully enjoy my time away. Thank you again Carol!
We were very lucky to be able to pet sit for Bruce and Katy <3 They welcomed us so warmly and generously in their home, and they are so kind and appreciative that it’s really already enough to make petsitting for them a pleasure. But it goes on. Morris and Dudley are just fantastic, smart, sweet dogs. Wherever we’d stay, they’d be, no matter if that meant choosing the floor instead of a comfy couch ❤️ They are so loving and affectionate. The home is beautiful, comfortable, spacious. The island counter in the kitchen and how well equipped it is make cooking a joy. The living room is an oasis of relaxation. The garden is beautiful, green, full of flowers, with incredible views over the hills. There are forests and rivers nearby. Basel, Colmar, Strasbourg are very close and make for beautiful day trips. Couldn’t recommend it more! Thank you again!
We had a marvelous time out in the beautiful English/Wales countryside at Chris and Toria's. Their dogs Millie, and Widge, and cat Bumbles were full of energy, and a delight to be with. Chris and Toria were very hospitable. They had a great routine for us to follow, and gave clear instructions. They were super at keeping in touch while they were away. It was an honor and our privilege to be sitters in their home. They were also very helpful in getting us off to our next destination, with directions, printing boarding passes etc. Thanks so very much for a great experience. Carrie and Robert
This was a great opportunity. Kat walked me through everything and taking care of Enzo and Stanley was super easy. The house is nice and in a beautiful location. There were lots of pretty places to walk Enzo, who is a sweetheart. Watch out for his escape tactics, though, and it’s best even if you will be gone for a few minutes, to put him in his crate. He totally gave off these weird vibes and I thought he did something bad but looked around and couldn’t find anything. I was leaving to get lunch and he lunged at the door, though luckily I blocked him. Otherwise, he’s as gentle as they come. Stanley mostly stayed by himself but was also a sweetheart. I would come back again, and hope there are more opportunities to do so. Thanks Kat and her husband whose name I cannot remember and cannot lookup because I am my phone.
It was a pleasure to stay in Karen's home and to spend time with Teddy and Ebey. The home is in a very friendly neighborhood with beautiful views from the deck and great walking trails. Teddy is one of the sweetest and most lovable dogs and very easy to walk. Ebey the cat was very receptive to chin rubs. Karen and Steve were very kind and welcoming and it's obvious they take pride in their home. A wonderful experience overall.
Thank you a lot Elsa. It was a wonderful experience as my first housesit with TH. I am enthusiastic about the trust that you gave me with your dear Filou and your great apartment. Unfortunately, I didn't get to know Elsa personally, but the communication was lovely, always quick and helpful. I came into a clean inviting spaceous apartment, Elsa even bought me groceries. The cat Filou was shy at the beginning, but soon also curious, so he came quickly to get to know me. He is a super sweet friendly cat, there is no other way to put it. Holding back a little at first but after this always up for a little game and he loves to be combed and kissed. He also likes to be on the terrace in between. His little talking is so sweet, i already miss it. I also learned from him how to relax, because he likes to take long naps in one of his many sleeping places. So I enjoyed the time, even in rainy weather, Elsa’s apartment is bright and cozy, well equiped, there is also a bathtub, washing machine and dryer for use. The bed is super confy. The apartment is well located, bus stop and shop almost in front of the door, the train station is also close. I had a wonderful time, I would love to come again, I have grown fond of Filou and I would also like to meet Elsa in person, as she is so lovely in communication, I am happy about the trust you have placed in me. Highly recommended.
A wonderful home with the sweetest pets! A great experience overall.

This review is long overdue … I had heard only great things about Urban Paws Doggy Daycare Geelong and felt I needed to seek help and guidance for my pug puppy Billie, she was lacking in confidence and missing companionship from other people and dogs when I was at work. After a temperament test was done, I was invested and knew these girls at Urban Paws could help mould this little pug into what I had hoped she would be when I wasn’t around. The girls at Urban Paws have only been caring for Billie for over a year, but the changes I have witnessed in her are dramatic and inspiring. She absolutely loves going to Doggy Daycare seeing her furry dog friends and hanging out with the wonderful staff. We recently got Billie a brother named Eddie and he also now attends Urban Paws, he has been attending for the last 4 months. We are starting to notice similar traits of confidence developing within him too! I couldn’t recommend Urban Paws Geelong more highly to anyone seeking company and fun times for their pooch! My dogs have responded so well to the staff’s gentle nature, calming demeanors and super fun personalities! All the staff’s personalities are well suited for her chosen profession. The pugs get very excited to see the girls when we turn up and they always look like they’ve had the best time afterwards. I love that the pugs both have their own dog besties at daycare. We are so happy we choose Urban Paws Geelong. Thanks for taking such good care of Billie & Eddie 🧡
Highly recommend Urban Paws as a doggy daycare. My girl Zoe leaps out of the car as soon as we arrive. She loves the indoor / outdoor playtime and the companionship of other dogs...and she LOVES Roger and Melinda (the owners) and the other staff. Integration/introduction process is just brilliant and allows the owner to have complete faith that all the dogs wellbeing there is the priority. I know when I drop my Zoe off she is in a very safe environment and is keep happy both indoors and outdoors. I love the photos I am sent throughout some of the play sessions and Roger and Melinda are just wonderful to deal with 😊
Tori & the girls at Geelong are absolutely incredible. From day one they have welcomed our big fur baby, and are always showing such care and compassion beyond my expectations. Their love for the dogs, and their personable touch with their customers is amazing. I’m so grateful we found Urban Paws! I would Highly Recommend ♥️🐶 …
We couldn't recommend Urban Paws more! Not only for doggie day care but also grooming! It's our dogs absolute favourite place, they can't wait to go spend the day and you can really tell how much they enjoy it. The staff are also amazing, helpful, knowledgeable and take such good care of our dogs. I always trust they will be safe but that they're having the best time while learning to socialise. Plus you get the cutest photos at the end of the day <3
Urban Paws is a very professional and welcoming doggy Daycare facility. Our pup was warmly welcomed and carefully integrated into the group on his first day. Great communication and feedback. Most impressed with the staff and amazing area that the dogs have to play in. Highly recommended
My dog Louie and I both love Urban Paws. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. Louie is a very energetic, big boy and can be a bit of a handful so I worry, but the staff communicate how he's going and never express any concerns dealing with him which fills me with confidence and eases my nerves. They are also good with last minute requests and are easy to schedule. Louie has an absolute ball everytime he goes, I just wish I could send him more!
My dog is obsessed with going here. She gets so excited on the drive in. I love having a tired puppy after daycare too 😂 The girls that work there are all wonderful and spoil her so much!
Urban Paws in South Geelong have provided consistent, professional care to our beloved pooch for 2.5 years. We appreciate that their staff have expectations of good (safe) dog behaviour during handovers when dogs in other centres tend to be over-excitable. And, yes, our pooch is always happy to attend. Excellent consistent care. Thank you:-)
This place is amazing! Our border collie puppy had an absolute ball today on her first day. Urban paws was recommended to us by a friend who's dog is a regular and she absolutely raves about them, and they still managed to exceed our expectations. The staff are really professional, friendly and trustworthy. The enrolment process was thorough to make sure she was up to date with her vaccinations etc, and they started off with a temperament test for her first day, and slowly introduced her to different dogs etc. It was so nice receiving an update of how she went mid morning, as well as a video of her day! She clearly had the best day, and has slept soundly this afternoon! We will definitely be regulars, we can see how beneficial it will be for her long term!
Urban Paws in Yarraville has been loving and caring and I cannot imagine a better place where I would leave my nervous Golden Retriever Girl for daycare. Mila has been welcomed with open arms and hearts from the day we moved to Melbourne and she loves going there. The lovely girls there even tackle the tricky parts such as cutting nails. The picture upload each day is one of my highlights and it eases my heart to see how much fun Mila has at daycare while mummy is at work. Well done girls, keep it up. I would give 10* if I could :) xx Jas&Mila
Harley has the best time at your doggy daycare! He comes home happy, well-exercised, and totally relaxed. The staff clearly adore him, and I love to see pictures from his day, which is so reassuring. Harley loves playing with his friends and exploring all the fun activities. It's wonderful knowing he's in such a caring and safe environment. Jess, you and your team are totally "Pawsome" XX
From exceptional communication to genuine love for our furry friends, Paw Patrol stands out as a place where every dog is treated like family. The staff's dedication to keeping pet parents informed about their dog's day is unmatched. They go above and beyond to ensure that we're always in the loop, providing updates and reports that keep us connected. What sets Paw Patrol apart is their unwavering commitment to accommodating each dog's individual needs. Whether it's dietary restrictions, needing extra rest breaks, or simply a preference for extra belly rubs, they always prioritise well-being and happiness. Their engaging social media presence offers a delightful glimpse into the fun and enriching activities that our dogs enjoy, as well as the furry friendships they forge along the way. Paw Patrol is a haven where dogs thrive, surrounded by love, care, and endless tail wags. If you're searching for a daycare that treats your furry friend like family, look no further than Paw Patrol. Highly recommended!
Joker has the best time at Paw Patrol daycare he comes home ready to sleep. The staff are absolutely fantastic always so easy to talk to and give great feedback about about Jokers day. I always feel that joker is well looked after and most importantly safe.
Our Kelpy George loves going to Paw Patrol Day Care.He starts barking blocks away as he is so excited. The staff are lovely and tell us about George’s day on pickup. George is worn out when he gets home and sleeps most of the next day. Highly recommend Paw Patrol.
My little girl Aspen always seems to love her time at daycare. She comes home tired from a big day at care. There are many things to love about Paw Patrol, there is the friendly staff who take an interest in the life of your pup, the daily instagram stories showing what the dogs get up to. The monthly newsletter. The birthday photos and presents. For me the highlight is knowing I have a very friendly and extremely well socialised dog. If you want your dog to have a positive and rewarding experiance while you’re at work, THIS is the place to send them. I can’t speak highly enough about doggy daycare at Paw Patrol!
Paw Patrol is our Doberman Hansel’s favourite place to be. Jesse and the team take such good care of our pup including celebrating birthdays, sharing regular updates via instagram and making sure he has a great time with his buddies. Couldn’t recommend highly enough. Thanks guys x
We’ve had our dog at Paw Patrol for around 3 months now after recommendation from a friend. Our dog absolutely loooooves it ! The staff are so great, always ready to love on them and play with them. Our family love the regular photos and videos that are posted of him and the other dogs playing and having fun. There’s been so many that have made us laugh! He comes home tired and is so well behaved the next day too. It’s been such a help for us and our boy and we can’t say a bad word about Paw Patrol- thank you all, you’re amazing!!!! 🐾
My border collie Stormi started attending daycare a few months ago. She absolutely loves it, she's gone from being shy and afraid of other dogs to absolutely loving being around others. She's excited every day she attends and comes home exhausted! We love Paw Patrol Pet Care 💕 …
Paw patrol are amazing! Our dogs Ace and Lola look forward to daycare each week. We love the photos posted to social media and the update about the day when we pick them up. Our dogs have grown with social confidence and love to say hi and play with other dogs. The team go above and beyond and love all the dogs like their own. We highly recommend paw patrol daycare!
Jasper loves going to daycare at Paw Patrol! The staff are amazing and take such good care of him.
Couldn’t recommend Blue Moon MORE even if I tried! All of the staff have the highest care, love and care for both you and your pup, you’ll feel so great knowing your doggie is in great hands for the day! Another highlight is that post over a hundred photos at the end of each day, showcasing all the doggies having an absolute blast through the day. Not only does Blue Moon provide a valuable & positive daycare experience for us, it also helps with our pups socialisation, additional training, any grooming, and the best part, mental and physical stimulation! We love Blue Moon!!! ❤️❤️
Love this place! Home away from home for my pups. The staff are fantastic, caring and very thorough getting to know your furry friends. My dogs are ecstatic every time they get dropped off and I never worry when they are there for the day. Thanks for your services and care.
They take such good care of my pup. Very friendly staff and they always give me updates on how Archie spent the day. Archie always loves going here more than the dog park. Would highly recommend!
I started bringing my pup here after her older sister died suddenly. It has been amazing for her. She absolutely loves it and the staff are amazing.
Such a great service and reasonably priced for dog parents in need! Staff are so welcoming and genuinely care for the animals, I am always greeted and told about my pup's day with in-depth information. They are very knowledgable and always giving tips for raising my kelpie pup. Definitely recommend!
Pepper loves it. The staff at Blue Moon really know what they are doing and I feel 100% comfortable leaving my dog there. I know Pepper is going to come home socialised and socialised WELL! The dogs have rules and the staff are all so friendly. Blue Moon is by far the cleanest, best set up daycare I've seen! I also love the photos they do everyday, you're always left with a gorgeous shot! Definitely recommend!
I've been sending Billie for about 1 1/2 years now and I couldn't be happier with the service provided and level of care from the staff. They're also great at tending to individual dogs needs and communicate well at drop-off and pickup. I can go to work and trust she's in good hands which is all you want from a doggie daycare provider. I couldn't recommend it enough and the photos posted of each day are the highlight of it all!
Wonderful staff, genuinely love all the dogs in their care. My pup loves going every week.
Our two dogs love Blue Moon, can’t wait to get in and tired and happy when they leave!! Staff are very caring and interested in our dogs and the online posts at the end of each day show many happy dogs interacting. Highly recommended.
Treat your dog to 30 other dogs to play with. My pup Chicken-Hawk burns out all her energy here. She that tired when she gets home after dinner she fights to stay awake.
Reassuringly doggy focused! My old girl loves her people and occasionally gives up food when she's left alone but the staff at Vern ryan do everything they can to make me and her feel comfortable. Thank you!
Actually haven't been here.... yet....but think their 1 star review is 100% unfair. The guy who did it has given 1 star to everyone. I am a small business that supports small business. I suggest you get some of your customers to comment real reviews because having 1 star looks REALLY bad. Good luck with your business & we may see you in the future 🙋🏼♀️🐶
Last week we left our Labrador here for the first time. By the look of the photos (on Facebook), he had the most wonderful time; especially with his enrichment time in the yard. You could see that he was very happy running around with new found friends. Thank you for taking such good care of him.
Thank you. First time we have left our fur baby Oscar. And we are just so happy with. The great, fantastic service. Great price for peace of mind, security, well nourished and nurtured care, picked up our boy smelling beautiful and clean. Photos provided everyday of his adventures with his new fur friends. And even spoilt on his birthday. Home now, resting from his holiday as well. Kindest Phil, Romy and Oscar.
What a fabulous place. I boarded my rescue kelpie for 7 weeks while I was on holidays overseas. The staff were very responsive to any requests for updates even sending me some photos. Freya was not only looked after but she was loved by all the staff. I would not hesitate to book her in again.
Our dog loves it here. Staff are always so lovely and well priced.
Mala was excited for her second drop off to the Top dog house pet resort. I can leave her here knowing she is taken care of. The staff are lovely, quick to respond to queries and they post photos of dogs periodically. ✨ My 3 year old energetic dog gets to share a room with another dog (which is lovely for her being a single pet at home) and also gets to run around and play in a group.I am so glad to have found this resort for Mala.🐕
Seemed good enough. Dogs seemed happy enough on pickup. Price is reasonable per day. But although they are transparent in their pricing information. I still think it is a bit cheeky to charge a full day stay when the dogs are picked up first thing in the morning and haven’t been fed etc. we dropped the dogs 8am Monday and collected 8am Saturday but were charged for 6 days. I think it should be a charge for each 24 hour period. Maybe something for management to consider. This is only reason for 3*. Otherwise would have been 5*
Very comfortable and well organised kennel. Listened to our requests for our senior dogs for an overnight stay and we collected two relaxed fur babies in the morning!
Can't ring through to talk to someone about costs, times, booking as a new client. Apparently only previous existing clients can enrol for bookings. I have to attend Geelong hospital for cancer treatment. Needing M to F for 3 weeks care for my pet girl. Doesn't look like this business interested with not being able to ring and internet site does not let new people apply and no info on prices. 🥴☹️
Comprehensive, dedicated, caring and highly professional boarding facility for our poodles. Very experienced and knowledgeable owners, and we can go away and know our pets are being cared for without us having to think it worry about.
Can't fault The Dog House at all. The lovely staff took me on a tour around the facility before booking and I was impressed that the yards for every dog are real grass. The enclosures were spacious and clean and I can tell my two dogs had an absolute ball with the photos I saw on the Facebook page. The attention and care my dogs get is priceless. 100% going to use them every time I need to.
Sent request to contact pet sitter but no response. Will not try again. Thankyou.
Susie and the Clawbaby team have been walking, and looking after my mum's young staffy - Banjo three times a week for many years now. Banjo loves going out with all the walkers, and Susie runs a very professional business. We can highly recommend them, and feel we are very lucky to have found them to help my elderly mother at her retirement village.
I couldn't recommend Susie and Steve more highly. They love my dogs like they're my own. Susie even rang to check on the health of my older girl. I feel so lucky to have them part of my babies lives. And.. The new app is magnificent! So easy to communicate, get updates and pics.
Thanks for taking great care of my Basil over the years, he is often challenging on walks and you always took great care to reassure me and tailor your activities for him. Highly recommend your service and you have such a great team.
