Seàn was an amazing pet and house sitter! He was super communicative and took amazing care of my dog Nala and cat Bruce. They were happy and loved while I was away- I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for the two little fur babies! He sent great pictures and checked in every day so I had nothing to worry about. On top of all that, he also kept my place immaculately clean and left my place in wonderful shape. We can’t wait to have him back to sit and I would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone looking for a sitter!
Kathy and Ron have sat for us several times in the past and have always been excellent. They are our "go-to" pet and house sitters and we always check their availability before we post a sit. They are trustworthy, organized, communicate very well, and take great care of our cats and our house. We hope they will continue pet sitting for many years to come!
I was fortunate to have Hillary return for a second sit. She took excellent care of both my cat and my home. She got on well with my neighbors and even allowed my friend to come visit Suley while she was there. I especially appreciate how flexible and accommodating she was regarding arrangements for a sitter who would be taking over for the second part of my very long absence. All in all, Hillary is a gem!
Nia is a wonderful sitter - punctual, considerate, caring, and tidy, and also a lovely person, who I enjoyed spending time with before and after the sit. While I was away Nia sent photos and videos of my cats Tommy and Arthur every day, with witty updates and observations on their personalities and behaviours, and it was obvious that they adored her. Arthur has a mild neurological problem, so it was particularly reassuring to know that Nia feels especially connected to animals with specific physical or emotional needs, and knowing this contributed hugely to my peace of mind while I was away. I have no hesitation in recommending Nia as a sitter.
After seeing the numerous positive reviews, I knew Cung would be an easygoing and professional cat sitter and house guest, and he was :-) Easy communication, prompt updates and clear concern for Boz & Artie's wellbeing, and pictures of cozying up on the couch together all made our time away secure and stress free. Upon returning home, the cats were chill and the apt was left spotless, as though he hadn't even been there.
Jeanne is a repeat pet sitter for us. She is wonderful and takes great care or our cats and our home. We have peace of mind when we travel knowing our kitties are under her care.
Kathy and Ron arrived at our home with a most fantastical toy for our cats and a giant apple pie. Need I say more? They are very experienced sitters and brought personal items that they prefer. We knew we were leaving out cats in good hands. A large part of their 'job' was hand watering our garden and Ron took that in stride. Everything is thriving. Our cats are usually distant with new people but we received photos of them keeping Kathy and Ron company in various situations which was reassuring. They clearly won our cats over. Although Ron and Kathy had a ferry to catch on their last day, they took time to wash their linens and hang them on the clothesline. They also left us a gorgeous plant for our garden. We would very much like to have them back for a longer sit if possible.
Raquel was simply terrific! She and her husband, Miguel, had to fill in at the last minute for another sitter who had a death in her family. This meant that the length of the stay and sitting they had originally signed up for doubled. Completely undaunted, they did a GREAT job for us. Our cat and dog got lots of love and affection, and plenty of exercise, food, and rest. Our house and yard were cared for with equal conscientiousness. It was wonderful for us to be able to rely so completely on these super zeewoi. We recommend them 100 percent!
Paige, David, and family were WONDERFUL sitters for my crew! They were so pleasant and personable, and the pets warmed up to them very quickly. Even my rescue cat who tends to stray away from men loved David. I received regular updates and communication (before and during the sit). I truly did not have any concerns while I was away knowing that everyone had such great care and attention given to them. (I know the dogs had a good time because when I came home there was no commotion over my return.) I was away on NYE and Paige had no issues keeping an eye on one of the dogs who has anxiety surrounding loud noises. The family cleaned up after themselves and may have left the house cleaner than when I left! Truly such a great family who I would welcome back any time!
Ruthee was a fabulous pet sitter for our three cats while we were gone for a month. Prior to the sit, she was consistent and communicative; she even came over early for a meet and greet to learn the routine. During the sit, she took great care of our three cats by playing with them (she made a fun cat toy!), scooping litter, feeding and watering them, and sent us text updates and pictures. We came home to happy fur babies and a clean home. She left the place very tidy which was greatly appreciated! We are so thankful for Ruthee and would recommend her should the opportunity arise. Your fur babies would be lucky to spend time with her. Thank you again for everything, Ruthee!
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home overnight at Sittsy.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least $30 per visit, per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Sittsy.
What do people do with their cats when they go on vacation?
Inviting a cat sitter to your home, boarding the cat with a local business, asking a friend, family or neighbour to feed and check the well-being. The most efficient way to leave your cat during your vacation is with Sittsy cat sitters overnight, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
Our dog loves his daycare visits. The facilities are clean, the staff are awesome and constantly cheerful. Who wouldn't be, hanging out with doggos all day! Best part is he comes home and is exhausted for the night 😆 …
My friend Ruby is so excited to go,especially Dillon's cuddles. Everybody is wonderful there.
Charlie literally hops his way in, he gets so excited. The staff are great and the place seems well run. He gets his haircut done here too, which are quite good. Just make sure to book ahead, as they can get booked out.
Best doggy day care! Professional and caring staff, my pup just loves his time there.
Staff are awesome! Dogs have a great time, great for their socialisation with different sizes. Price is not too bad. The grooming is a great service and reasonably priced with some daycare included.
Wonderful people who treat my dog with love and care. I can tell they're good to my dog when I'm not there because at their recent open day my normally shy sheltie happily ran up to all staff for kisses and treats.
We take our two golden retrievers here pretty regularly. They both love it, and well taken care of. Ruby even celebrated her first birthday here! LOL. We love the report card we get, and the cute pics. Ruby pulls on the lead she's so eager to get in there and hang out with the people and the other doggos. Our newest girl, Rosie is a tad less confident and the DDC (Kent Town) staff have been providing extra special cuddles and observation on her for us. Watch for open days, specials to get a bundle pack of sessions cheaper!
My dog loves DCDC. He’s been going for 7 years now. Unfortunately we are living on the south coast and don’t visit as often. Nothing like this wonderful service on the Fleurieu. Brilliant people, fantastic professional care and loving and caring attitudes.
First day care experience for our 20m y o standard poodle. Loved getting a report note 😄💘 grooer did an excellent job on him too! Thanks, we can't wait to be back in town! …
Such friendly staff, dogs love it and come back pooped and snuggly. Can get grooming done too ... Highly recommended
Great to be able to speak to a "real person" and get answers immediately. My dog was matched up to a carer who turned out to be perfect for him and his needs, and we were able to go away knowing our needs were being met, and the carer was able to access support if needed.
Great First time experience using Don't Fret Pet. They worked hard to get us in at short notice. Very happy with the process. Carer Paisley was exceptional. Looked after our Tilly who was a lot anxious like she was her own Would recommend the business to anyone looking for great customer service and carers
This is the second time I've been a client with this company and this time Paisley has been my dog minder for our dog Emily. She was super lovely, kind and accommodating and made us feel at ease. I could tell our dog was loved just as much as she had a bit of blues after leaving Paisley's household. We would definitely recommend. I really like how the company likes to gain as much information on our dog to help with the transition.
Enquiry was seamless. Great customer service and prompt response even though I did not give them heaps of notice. I have never left my dog with a stranger but Lucie was fantastic. Very approachable and accommodating. I have no hesitation in using the company or Lucie again in the future. I am so excited that after years I can go away without worrying about my pet.
Kristie and her family took care of Dwayne (my Golden Retriever) like it was part of the family. I could tell that they really take their "job" seriously when it comes to minding/taking care of ones pet. I knew that I could trust having Dwayne in their hands and nothing would go wrong. And if something did arise, they would see to Dwayne's needs without second thought. I would recommend letting Kristie and her family take care of any pet that someone would have. Kind regards, Luca.
Very pleased to arrive home and see Creamy relaxed and comfortable with his 4 minders. We mutually agreed that a short stay would work for us again, if we needed one in the future. Thanks to all. PnP
On behalf of myself and family we have thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful dogs that have stayed with us since being a minder through Don't Fret Pet. A great decision made and rewarding by cuddles, laughs, walks, etc welcoming dogs in our home. (looking forward with a beautiful girl staying with us again soon for the 2nd time) It is wonderful when we are asked for the 2nd or 3rd time to mind the same dog. My boys enjoy playing with the dogs, taking selfies with them, and especially the love in return ☺ 🐶
Approximately 4 years have passed, so far minding 10 wonderful dogs, has been a wonderful experience for us both since joining DFP. We've always appreciated the friendly support from the Team and the accessible login site showing bookings etc and is easy to use. Our most valuable experience is mostly meeting the owner's that truly love their pets and the feeling to know that their furbabies will be loved and cared for ( and spoilt ). We love it! Tracey & Stephen SA
What a great service! Our carer, Lesley, does a fantastic job. Our requirements were matched to our specifications & our Bella feels right at home. It is very stressful in leaving your special family member with someone else, but this service takes the pressure off.
I’ve really enjoyed my time as a minder with Don’t Fret Pet. I’ve met so many great people and the dogs are lovely too. It’s also nice having the support of DFP staff who take care of all the administrative tasks for me, so I can get on with spending time with the dogs.
I recently boarded my pets at Cozy Companions and was thoroughly impressed by the owner. Their passion and genuine care for animals shine through in every aspect of the facility. The owner took the time to understand my pets' individual needs, ensuring they were comfortable and happy throughout their stay. The facility is clean, well-maintained, and filled with enriching activities for the pets. Communication was excellent, with regular updates and photos. I highly recommend this facility to anyone looking for a reliable and caring place to board their pets.
I recently got in touch with Cozy Companion to look after my pet while I was away, and I couldn't be more pleased with their service, Thank you Manik. From the initial consultation to the daily updates, everything was handled with exceptional care and professionalism. My pet was happy and well-cared for, and it was clear that Cozy Companion genuinely values the well-being of the animals they look after. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of reliable and loving pet care. Thank you, Cozy Companion, for making my time away stress-free!
The owner is exceptionally knowledgeable and possesses extensive pet handling experience. He is remarkably kind and gentle, demonstrating genuine care and compassion for all animals. I feel completely confident entrusting him with the responsibility of caring for my beloved pet. His expertise and attentive nature make this the perfect place for me to leave my pet without any stress.
Very experience person one can trust him with their pets.
Clover knows the routine now. Every Tuesday I wake up at 6am to feed her then go back to bed till 7am which is when I drop her off at Kip. On Tuesdays when I go back to bed she stands on me, stomps on me and keeps telling me it's time for Daycare. Having a dog that thrives on socialising with other dogs is amazing. I get to take her to her favourite place where she wags with her entire body!
I have a mini dachshund puppy who hadn't been to daycare before, so i was a little concerned about leaving him. The staff were very friendly and professional, which made it easier to leave him. I received updated photos during the day, which was great as I could see he was enjoying himself. Would recommend them to friends.
The staff at Broadview are all amazing and helpful. Misty loves her time at Kip and is always so chilled out on the nights after she’s finished playing and releasing that never-ending puppy energy !! A lifesaver for those times when leaving Misty alone for hours isn’t an option at the moment ….. an awesome service & site !! Thanks Kip Broadview team 👍🌟🌟😀
Whiskey has been having so much fun in KIP every week. They are always going over and beyond to help accommodate him even though Whiskey is always giving them trouble. We see so much improvement on Whiskey’s behaviour as well after attending Kip’s Dog Care. I think it is Whiskey’s favourite day of the week whenever he gets to see his friends 😍
I cannot rave enough about Kip Broadview. Wonderful and caring staff - Apple just loves going there. Each time he does we get an update on our account with videos and photos of his day. Highly recommended.
Tilda has enjoyed her last 4 months with Kip and is always excited to run into the daycare every Thursday morning (she sooks all the way up until the handover). I really love the updates from the team when I pick her up and she’s always knackered afterwards so I know she’s had a pretty great time with everyone!
My boy Georgie loves his daycare days so much! All the staff take such good care of him. He looks forward to his daycare time everyday!
Kip Broadview has gone through a lot of staff changes finally coming together new Manager Taylor settling in well and a great group of staff. Pierre gives it the thumbs up.
My dog is always so excited when the day comes. She stays once a week at Kip Broadview and knows exactly when is the day. She used to be very shy around dogs but since starts at Kip Broadview she has made many doggy friends. She loves there a d I am also very happy with the team at Kip Broadview.
My mate Rusty really loves it at Kip - I could not ask for better people to look after him while I am at work. Love the updates of his shenanigans with his doggy pals, it’s assuring to know he is happy and in good company instead of alone and bored at home. More so I really appreciate the communication the staff have with me when it comes to grooming, being able to have him properly groomed is a time saver for me. The staff are attentive and respect not only myself and decisions but respect my mate a great deal too, always making him look extra handsome. I am really satisfied with the facilities, warm in winter and cool in summer. There’s certain Lots of space for my mate to run around and burn that energy in a safe environment. I can’t thank the staff enough for all they do! Keep up the great work guys! K&R 🐶
Cathie and Kevin have been walking our 2 beloved fur babies for over 6 years now! Hunter and Camo absolutely adore them and get so excited every time they arrive. They have even looked after our fur babies for us whilst overseas and provided us with regular updates! Super lovely and trustworthy people. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a dog walker or pet minder!
Cathy and Kevin are fantastic! Love dogs and my dog loves them. Happy dog means a happy household. Good communication and punctual. Peace of mind when you need it.
Great freiendly staff. My dog loved his time here
We were very happy with the service.
Kaden was amazing 🤩 We trusted his professionalism from the start and felt so at ease while he was with our puppy 🐶 Sunset went on beach walks & cafe trips & was so happy. His knowledge and intuition of puppies is amazing and communication with us so clear. He even went above & beyond to keep us updated on our ‘elf on the shelf’ movements in the lead up to Xmas.
All of our animals love Kaden which puts us at ease every time we travel. He has great communication, goes out of his way to accommodate our high maintenance doggo and takes perfect care of our home when we're away. We love recieving daily pics and videos of our pets too ☺️ I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting a pet sitter for their animals 🐕
Winnie and George absolutely love going to daycare at Dogcity. The team are super friendly and take great care of my fur babies!
Dogcity has been an amazing experience for my dog, he has been going since he was 6 months old and has been great for socialising. I trust the staff here with him, they're always so caring and happy to see him and I'm so grateful to them for sending home a tired dog! My dog goes once a week and gets a Doggy Grub lunch order, so I know he is spoiled. The staff send photos throughout the day to show how much he is enjoying it. I recommend Dogcity to everyone who thinks of taking their dog to daycare!
Our pup has been going about once a week since they opened this new branch earlier this year. He has a great time, comes home happy and tired. We noticed a significant improvement in how he greeted dogs at cafes, on the street, and at dog parks after just 2 positive puppy program sessions. We work from home but still like to send him over once a week for socialisation and it lets us do errands or go to meetings without worrying about him being home alone, still working on that during the daytime. ;)
This is my doggo’s regular daycare and we’re very happy! Our furball is always so excited to visit and the staff are so friendly and caring
My puppy is in the puppy pawgram and he absolutely loves it. The staff are always happy, friendly and welcoming and the facility spotless. Would recommend to anyone looking for doggy day care
Dogcity Daycare (North) Our young labrador Bingley absolutely adores going here. Not just for the socialisation, which he loves, but also all the staff who seem to qualify as his BFFs too. It is a great experience taking him because we are always welcomed by people who clearly love what they do and are great at it.
Amazing place to leave your little furry baby and let them enjoy for the day. The staff are amazing and our pup Taco enjoys every time she goes there. She gets totally exhausted after playing and running around with other dogs by the end of the day when we pick her up and just falls soundly to sleep for the whole night. They have good packages if you buy credits in bulk too so it’s a win win
Our Murphy has recently started going to the dog city puppy program! He always has the BEST time with the team there, they really do love all the dogs that come through and care for the so well! We’ve also especially had a great experience with Darcy who does a lot of the communication. We can’t wait to keep bringing him along! ❤️
The friendly staff love making my little man's day. Through the photos sent and the smile our pup comes hone with we know he has the best time. Have been using two locations and both have great service and they really know our pup. Very happy and he continues to go weekly 🙂 thanks team!! …
Our little puppy Winnie has a wonderful time at dogcity. The staff are lovely and really show genuine care about your dog. I would definitely recommend dogcity to anyone looking for a place to take their dog for socialisation.
Amazing friendly service. We have a miniature schnauzer who has pretty bad social skills (won't go near anyone he doesn't know without a fight)! & isn't the most cooperative of dogs at the best time. However meg always does a fantastic job, & he comes back looking perfect!! I have no idea how you do it, but thank you so much! Prices are extremely reasonable hands down the best in the area and the time and effort they put in is evident. Thank you so much (Winston's owners) 😂
Meg is absolutely lovely! She is an incredibly passionate, she will always take the best care of your pup! Highly recommended Dogs 4 Eve and Meg 5/5! Thank you!
Just had our Dog Miggy groomed by Eve and Meg, the results are fantastic. Great service and the staff were friendly and caring. Pleased to recommend this service.
Trixie here! I love my visits to Eve and Meg - they make me look beautiful and I have tons of fun there!
Trixie loves getting groomed here, the girls are kind and very reasonably priced. Highly recommended!
This is the first place my anxious pup Bob has been to for a groom where he hasn't come home and seemed traumatised for days. Great service, thanks 😊 …
They do a wonderful job, especially if you have a West highland terrier.
Rude staff. Not flexible. Cash only. Cuts can be good and bad. Typical pet groomed.
Wonderful staff ... gentle and kind grooming ... my pooch loves going there !
Amazing how they cope with my active Westie! And he loves to go there.
