Hilary was a fantastic pet sitter for our cat - you would be so lucky to have her care for your pet and home. She took exceptional care of her and our home. Hilary played so much with her and took the best care. She was communicative, easy to coordinate with, and left everything super clean for us when we came back. Five stars is understating how extraordinary she was - we cannot recommend her enough!!

Brian is a very professional sitter that does a good job, pays attention to details and is easy to work with. I have a lot of plants. A lot. He suggested me do a video for the plant care so he could be sure of which ones needed what. Brilliant! I’d never thought of that. They were in great shape when I returned. I explained that I needed some flexibility with travel dates, he agreed and rolled with the punches like a champ when my dates did indeed change. Unfortunately, he was a bit allergic to my cat but made it work anyway. He was really awesome about everything including a tree that fell next door in a storm and blocked the road for three days. I appreciate that he appreciated how funny and how much personality Boo has. They got along well and I received some great videos. I returned home to a happy cat and a house well taken care of 😊. I would definitely recommend Brian.

Daniel and Vasylyna were incredible house sitters and we would welcome them back to sit for us again any time they are available! They were fantastic communicators, making sure to work out details far in advance and they sent frequent picture updates of our animals which made us so happy while we were away. When the power went out in the neighborhood while they were here leading to a technology issue with our alarm system, they handled everything well. Upon our return, the house was clean, the garden was thriving and well cared for, and our dog and cat were clearly very loved while we were away - in fact our dog was sooooo sad to see them leave! I had the pleasure of getting to know them a bit before I left, and they are such a kind, adventurous, and great couple. I would highly recommend having Daniel and Vasylyna take care of your house, plants, and animals!

Wow, what a find Justin is! I feel as though I won a lottery. As I was revelling in the communication we were having during his stay, I looked over his profile and realized either that he had updated it during his stay OR I never even read it. I was so impressed with his initial application that described multiple stays taking care of cats in Turkey that I knew he was going to be a great choice. So I'm not sure that I even read his profile or reviews. Turned out...he was more than I could have EVER hoped for. Justin is VERY organized and clear with his communication. Just as--or maybe more--important, he is a poster child for what zeewoi can be: more than just an economical way to get a pet sitter or a place to stay. Justin embraces the barter economy and the opportunity it presents to get to know people. Although we only met the day that I turned the house and my 2 cats over to his care, we had delightful communication throughout his stay. He wanted to be sure he was providing the right care to all living and non-living elements of my home as well as just chat beyond what we'd had an opportunity to cover when we were face to face on the handoff day. Bottom line: I'd have Justin back even if I wasn't going anywhere! I've met a friend. And my neighbors did as well! Oh yes, and my two cats were well looked after, the house was in ship shape, and Justin was able to brief the next sitter in person (I'd had to extend my time away and Justin already had another commitment). To say I felt confident leaving my pets and home in Justin's care is an understatement. Justin is a real adventurer and believer in the power of both human and animal connection. Without a doubt, I would recommend him as a sitter...and a friend! Thank you, Justin for a great example of how to wrestle so much more meaning out of zeewoi.

My partner and I left our cat Mango in Lindsey's care for a month so that we could get married. We were going from FL to ME, so it was a long way from home. We were gone for a month. Picking the right houses sitter was important. We are so glad we picked Lindsey (and she picked us). From before Lindsey got on her plan to fly down, until she was back home again Lindsey was communicative, considerate and positive. We felt like we had a family member staying at our place and because of who she is, Mango and our home's well being was a weight off our mind during the wedding. If the need arises in the future we will definitely be giving her the right of first refusal. Thank you so much Lindsey!

Amazing sitters - I feel so fortunate to have had them stay. Chapeau was treated to daily walks and belly rubs, and my cat Tica was overflowing with contentment from having been taken care of so well. The house was cleaner than I left it and I was treated to a nice note and a lovely candle upon my return. Also, they left a checklist of item that they had done while here. Truly above and beyond!

Tracy was an ideal pet sitter when we left for 12 days. She was communicative, friendly, and most importantly took perfect care of our two cats and our house. I would highly recommend her for any sit!

We couldn't have asked for better sitters than Pares and Mark. Since our initial contact, it was straightforward to communicate with Pares. We were lucky enough to get a chance to meet Pares with our dog Luna, and Luna got along with her immediately. During our time away from home, she kept us informed about how both our dog and cat were doing, and they were both cuddling with her since the first day. We got a lot of pictures and knew that they were safe and happy. The apartment was exactly as we had left it when we came back. Pares and Mark even ran the dishwasher and the washing machine for us. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter, and it made our trip very easy knowing they were taken care of so well. We'd have Pares and Mark back to our home without any hesitation.

If Cung ever applies to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the offer. You will not be disappointed. Cung is among the top (if not the top) sitter I’ve ever had and I’ve been on this site for years. Primarily, Cung is very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Cung kept me abreast of his plans and status. I felt very comfortable in the days leading up to the sit because I knew the plan we made to exchange the keys and walk him through the instructions would work as planned. Second, Cung really cares. When he got to my apartment after what I assume was a long day of traveling, I explained the care instructions and he was very attentive and cared about the details - asking very specific questions on how to care for my cat and apartment. I had some pretty specific rules about how to feed my cat and take care of him and Cung followed those exactly. Third, Cung makes you feel comfortable while you are away. I got daily or twice daily updates about my cat. I got pictures which made me feel like my cat was having a good time. My cat came out within an hour of me being away - very fast for my cat as he is shy. Cung must have a calming energy towards animals. Cung was also very responsive when I reached out first - replying within 5 minutes. I really appreciated that. My cat threw up at one point and Cung answered all of my questions to assess whether my cat was sick or had just eaten too fast. Fourth, Cung will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. The sheets were washed and folded on my bed. The towels were washed. The apartment had been vacuumed. The kitchen was clean. The dishwasher had been run. Everything was in its place when I returned. Honestly, cleaner than when I left it which is difficult since I am a very clean person. Cung also respects your property. I have an extensive computer setup that he used for work and he was very respectful of that equipment. He asked if he could use it beforehand, which was incredibly polite since he could have used it and I wouldn’t have known. In sum. You need to jump at the opportunity if Cung offers to sit for you. I came home to a very happy cat. Hope he will sit for me again sometime!

Caroline was a fabulous sitter and looked after our cat and the house beautifully. She is sensible and very self-sufficient but also kept us informed. We came home to a happy cat and a tidy house. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to others and hope she will sit for us again in the future!

Very relieved at the great service that Elyse provided from Pawshake. My 20 yo pussy needed a lot of attention and cleaning up after and I was extremely happy to see she was looked after. Elyse even sent me videos so that I did not worry while on holiday. Excellant Service.
It was very easy to find a sitter with Pawshake. The app is well done and the communication with Charlie, our sitter was also very easy. Our 4 month puppy Paku has fallen in love with Charlie and her dog Opinel. We will use Pawshake again and Charlie is the perfect carer for Paku. We had a very tired and happy boy at home that night.
Easy online service to use. Brittany had a meet and greet with our 2 cats and took wonderful care of our boys, even sending some photos to us! Our cats were very relaxed when we came back. Will definitely use this service again
I had a fantastic experience having Sharon from Pawshake care for my cat while I was away. She was wonderfully communicative and kept me up to date on my cat’s care - despite my cat hiding from her throughout the week I was away! Pawshake was very easy to book care through and easy to use!
I discovered Pawshake when looking for in-home care for my rescue dog, and I was able to get in touch with some great local pet-sitters. Since then I'm using Pawshake regularly when my dog needs some extra company or a walk while I'm at work - and I've had nothing but positive experiences. The pet-sitters on Pawshake are all genuine animal lovers who have all been so kind, professional, and taken great care of my fur baby! Being able to organise meet and greets before booking is so valuable too. A great service.
Our cats were well looked after and our sitter was terrific in caring for their wellbeing. They began to warm up to her in just a few days. We have already booked her for our next holiday.
Thanks Pawshake for the creating a unique service like this. Having recently adopted a puppy, I was hesitant to put him into a dog kennel / hotel. As a child the only option we had was dog kennels, and our family dog was always traumatised when we collected her. Admittedly, things have improved since then, but even recently, I saw one Dog Hotel that offers just 30 mins of play time per day! And you have to pay extra if you want more socialisation. Unbelievable! With Pawshake we connected with a great petsitter (my glowing review of her is on the app) and it meant that our pooch had a holiday while we were away on our holiday! Regularly photos of him made us feel at ease, and when we collected him, he looked happy and well looked after. (And in addition, it was a LOT cheaper than dog hotels / kennels). Thank you!
Thank Pawshake for the service and let us to find the reliable dog sitters so easily. This was the first time for our dog to leave home, but he had a good time with the sitters. We received our dog's photos through Pawshake everyday and were very happy with it.
Pawshake was very easy to use and reliable too. Left our little dog for the first time in March. Was very happy with the sitter so used them again when we went away for the long weekend recently. Our little Teddy was cool and collective when we picked him up after he spent 3 nights with the sitter. Highly recommend the use of this website for doggy sitting.
Helen made me feel reassured that leaving our 5 month old puppy over Xmas was no hardship. Mimmi was happy to see me when I picked her up but calm & happy

Great communication and great service. We booked grooming appointment for my two sheebs. Adrian took the time to walk them and get familiar with them so as to make bathing easier. Shout out to Adrian and Martin for taking such good care of our pups! Would recommend and will come back!
Couldn't be happier with MDN Pet Care! They were amazing with our two Groodles. We loved getting regular updates and seeing all the fun they were having in the photos. It's clear these guys are true dog lovers, and we felt completely at ease leaving our pups in their care. We've already booked them again - highly recommend!
I hired Martin and Adrian from MDN Pet Care to look after my pets from my house while I travelled overseas. They did an amazing job following our given instructions and send lots of updates. We came home and I can tell my pets had really built a bond with them. And my house was also safe and sound. If you’re looking for a pet sitter who is reliable to pet sit your pets at your house I would recommend MDN Pet Care. I will also be using their grooming services too!
We left our baby Cookie with MDN Pet Care for 43 days! This was the second time we were using MDN team’s services and we’re just as happy with the results as we were the first time. Throughout the course Adrian gave us regular updates and was prompt with his replies. He took amazing care of Cookie. She adjusted well with the other pets there and was in a great condition when we brought her home again. I would 100% recommend MDN Pet Care to anyone looking for a safe home for their fur babies!
MDN pet care is a great service for looking after your dogs. I’ve been away 2 weeks for holiday and my pet has been looked after so well by Adrian, he’s so nice & sweet! he updated me photos about my dog every day and my pet seemed to be happy being with him. Additionally, the price is so reasonable! I would recommend this service to any dog lovers 👍🏻👌
Martin & Adrian are the best! So caring and attentive to my little 5 month old puppy! Will recommend and definitely be a repeat client! :) Loved the regular updates and hearing about her day when I picked her up after work!
Adrian and Martin are so lovely and welcoming! 😊 My puppy absolutely loves getting groomed there. The team are perfectionists and take their time ensuring your puppy finds it a positive experience. 🐶 They also send you cute pictures as they go with updates can’t recommend enough! 😊 …
Recently i used MDN pet care absolutely amazing awesome service needed someone to look after my 11 year old kelpie at the last minute have work Martin and Adrian we more than happy to look after belle they came out to pick her up as my car is of the road really friendly will be using MDN pet care again recommended to work colleagues and family friends awesome job guys thank you once again FERGUS
As co-parents, we never thought we would have to leave both our babies for three weeks, and there is no one who came to mind but MDN. Adrian has been more than a foster parent to Gogo and Momo. In these last three weeks, we have seen both babies get so comfortable and loving in the company of Adrian, almost so that they are going to miss him badly. Thank you so much for such personalized care of my cats like they are your own. Thank you for sharing continuous updates and sharing their snippets every day. You not only give us reassurance but also make us believe that our babies are in the best hands in Melbourne.❤️
Adrian and Martin took great care of Billy. He was really happy to spend time in their care, and it was a huge help for us! Will return.

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.

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.

Very fair quotation and speedy response response to my initial enquiry. When I arrived it was very easy to find and I could tell straight away I was leaving my two dogs with caring people just by the way they had a genuine interest with my dogs. I didn't have to worry at all and when I picked them up they were very happy and smelt so good. The owners were very friendly and interested and I would definitely recommend them to anyone with fur babies that want that personal service. Beats any kennel or resort hands down. If I could give more stars I would.
Would recommend pet stays to anyone! Happy i found them. Janene & Res are great & give updates of your pet during the day! My dog goes 2 x per week :)
Our 7.5 month old Golden Retriever Ocean had her first doggy day care session here last week. We were very thankful that we could get a daycare spot last minute, as we had to head out of town for the day. We got update pictures and she looked very happy playing with all the other dogs. She made some new friends and was very from all the play, that she didn’t even want to walk up the stairs to go to bed. We will definitely be bringing Ocean back for more play dates. Thanks so much for taking such good care of our girl.
We love sending Winnie and Mini here, they always come back home completely exhausted and always excited to go back! Jeannene is really fast and efficient. Also noticed the development in our puppies training. We love it hear!
We highly recommend the service of Pet Stays, professional, warm and caring Team who looked after our Teddy while we were on holidays. Jeannene and Reza are doing an amazing job. Thank you! We are very grateful! We will definitely ask your service in the future.
I have had the best of experience! Jeannene and the team at Pet stays They are wonderful caring and totally understand that you’re missing your pet when you’re away. Sending you photos and updates of them making new friends & how they are enjoying their time away. I have one and a half year old labrador that is a happy friendly dog I know when I drop him off with the team at Pet stays he will be safe in their care & I will get to have quality cuddles because he will be so tired after having a party with his new friends Thank you again, Emma & Hector
I was lucky to find PetStays when the pet hotel cancelled Chloe’s accommodation at the last minute. Jeannene made the effort to answer all my questions and assist me with arranging pick-up for Chloe. Chloe enjoys her stay at Pet Stays and has been there for long vacations since last year. She is always excited to be picked up by Jeannene. I can tell that Jeannene, Reza and the other staff took great care of Chloe, as she always returns home happy and well-groomed. I get lots of photo updates every week. They help Chloe socialise with the other dogs and pamper her with treats.
Thank you Jeannene and Reza! Ronnie loves his stays with you and we love receiving the cute photo updates. Highly recommend!
Thank you so much for taking such awesome care of our fur baby! Hearing how excited she was to see you every morning totally made our day while we were away. We can’t recommend your services enough and will definitely be back! Thanks for making both us and our big fur ball feel so welcome and loved!
Alfie loves going for his adventures to Petstays. He enjoys the extra company while I am at work. It’s great to know that he is safe and entertained while I’m at work. A little on the expensive side compared with alternate daycares, but the personal experience is a positive.

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!

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.

Our second time using Drop-in dog care with Nikita while we are away and we are so glad we found her. Our dog Jack is 15 years old so for Nikita to stop in to feed and walk Jack each morning and night knowing he is comftourble in his own home being spoilt is such a relief. Nikita sends regular updates with videos and photos and takes him in the doggy van to the park and I can tell he is having the best time. I feel confident and trusting in her care and will continue to use her services whenever we go away and highly recommend anyone to also. Thankyou Nikita
I connected with Nikita at the Doghouse because I was needing someone who would be able to check in on my puppy a couple of times a day while he was growing and developing. From the get go, she has been fantastic. Communication is always clear and consistent, with regular photo updates of your dogs having a great time! Dogs are walked in smaller groups, and the doghouse have been able to accomodate last minute changes/walks when needed. I now have my working therapy dog walked by Nikita as well on her days off! Nikita and the Doghouse go above and beyond to care for you and your furry friends - could not recommend highly enough :)
We've been so impressed with the services provided from the Doghouse. Nikita's knowledge and skill is quite incredible. We recently adopted a rescue dog which has had some challenges but the training, advice and time provided by Nikita has made everything so simple. Couldn't recommend her services more highly.
Nikita from The Doghouse has been such a great support since we adopted our dog. He had significant separation anxiety issues and we were having a really hard time settling and training him. Nikita came over to our place totally prepared and provided us with a training plan (or bible) and an assortment of treats, tips and tricks for us. She's was easily contactable for follow up questions. You can see she is truely dedicated, full of knowledge and has a love for all dogs. Highly recommended. ❤️
Nikita was so helpful with toilet training our new puppy. We had great success and would highly recommend her! It is so obvious that Nikita loves what she does
We have two very demanding and bouncy Australian Bulldogs and after a traumatic experience with a kennel, with lasting repercussions, I was not prepared to kennel them again. The Doghouse Pet Services and provided excellent personalized in house care and I was really happy with the relaxed happy dogs at the end of their baby sitting. Thank you.
Nikita an amazing human being. She is very full of life, love and very trusted. I've known her for almost a year and I high recommend her services
Pawsibly the best service my dog has ever experienced! Great communication and customer service and most importantly a genuine care and love for my dog. Would highly recommend.
One of the best pet services Nationwide in my opinion!

Mazie always loves coming to daycare. Great prices and friendly staff. I trust that mazie is in safe hands when she is goes to daycare.
I absolutely love this place! As does my pooch who has been attending daycare there since she was a pup. Cannot recommend it highly enough. My pooch is so excited every time she goes and clearly loves Christie and all the carers. I trust Christie and her wonderful team 100%. They are all caring and knowledgeable and it brings me great comfort to know my pooch is being so well looked after. I am very grateful to the many people at Newport Lakes dog park who raved about this place when I got my pooch. And the praise is well-deserved!
We have been taking Rupert to HHPG from a few months old and within a year it has become his home away from home. The care taken by the team is evident with the excitement he shows each week on his daycare days. Could not recommend them highly enough for those with puppy’s to older doggos for enrichment and socialisation!
Our little man had a groom today and came home smelling and feeling absolutely delightful! We will definitely be coming back ! Price was extremely reasonable and affordable. Service is always lovely and welcoming! Most importantly our fur kid was super happy! Thank you!
Great doggy day care and we always get back a happy yet tired pup. Easy booking system that usually takes last minute bookings, lots of photos through the day of pup and lots of friendly and helpful staff. Great that they split the little kids and big kids up and they always have nice little surprise and delights, like birthday cake, paddling pools and a genuine care for the dogs. Highly recommend.
We have been taking out two pups here since they were both 1... They are now 2 and 4. Wouldn't even consider taking them anywhere else. They get so spoiled and looked after so well. We definitely recommend bringing your good boys and girls here!
Best doggy daycare in the Inner West! My pup has been going there since she was a baby and it’s her favourite place in the world. Management are fantastic and responsive. The carers are legends who will legit love your dog. My girl has some behavioural issues and they’ve always been so positive and helpful with advice for me and training her. 10/10 would recommend.
Highly recommend Hairy Hounds Playground! Poppy has the best time at daycare which means I don’t have to worry about her at home. I’ve just moved and started using the school bus which has been so helpful with my working hours. I’ve also enquired about Poppy having an extended sleepover whilst I’m away on holidays, they’re a one stop shop for all your doggy needs!! All the staff are so friendly and clearly care about your pup ♥️🐾
I rave about Hairy Hounds to anybody who'll listen and honestly if I could give them more than 5 stars I would! I reckon HHPG is kinda like Disneyland for dogs, ie pretty damn magical 😊 We've been sending our pup Ziggy to HHPG since he was about 5mths old. He's a rescue pup and a small guy, hence can be quite anxious & fearful of the big scary world. To begin with, he shook like a leaf everytime I dropped him off. Fast forward to now, I pull up out front, say 'school' and he's up & raring to go - marches in with tail wagging like the place couldn't possibly run without him 😆 The carers are all delightful humans who clearly care for every one of the furkids like they're their own. They provide great feedback & reassurance through report cards to begin with and the photos & videos they upload on social media are abundant and awesome - always brings a smile to my dial when I see our lil guy having fun with all his furry mates. In short, sending Ziggy to HHPG is without doubt one of the best decisions we made. He has experienced desensitisation & socialisation in a safe environment and his confidence has soared thanks to this. It's clear he very much thinks of it as his second home now, which means we feel happy and confident everytime we drop him off that he's off to have a great day! Booking and communication through the portal is also super straightforward.
I met Christie and the team today and was taken for a tour by Jayden who really knows his stuff. I can say first-hand just how happy all the dogs (and chickens) at the Hairy Hounds Playground are. 😁 There is a real genuineness that comes across with the pets wellness in mind and the primary focus in bringing out the very best in each and every dog. Happy Birthday to Mirella! 🥳 All the staff are wonderful and joined in to make her day extra special today with a yummy morning tea spread which they kindly invited me to partake. To say I was super impressed is an understatement. Christie has the biggest of benevolent hearts with Hairy Hounds charity and fundraising efforts on a global level and all the team doing an amazing job. 🐶
