Annie sat for our cat, Tuna, over a long weekend. She was extremely kind and self-sufficient. When we arrived home, Tuna was relaxed and happy and our apartment was as clean and tidy as we had left it. Annie would be welcome to sit for us again any time, we'd highly recommend her.
I could not have asked for a better first experience with zeewoi! Jordan and Nataki were great at communicating from the very start, and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I didn’t have to worry for a moment that my cat Anya was feeling lonely because I could tell she warmed up right away, even though she’s usually quite shy! They also went above and beyond making sure my apartment was tidy for when I got home. So grateful and would definitely be honored for them to sit for me again any time!
Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!
Hannah and Joseph were so kind, so communicative, and clean! Kevin seemed so happy in all the photos they sent. Not only did they wash my sheets and towels they used (without my requesting it, simply out of the kindness of their hearts), they ALSO then put my fresh sheets on the bed! 🥹❤️ Such incredible sitters. 10 stars!
Misti was wonderful! She was able to come by before I left town to meet my dog, Grace, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pics or videos and made sure that Grace got tons of snuggle time, which is a major requirement to keep my dog happy :) Cats and skateboards are evil enemies to Grace and it sounds like Misti experienced both and handled it flawlessly! Misti was a great communicator, left everything tidy for me when I got home and Grace was super mellow and relaxed, which tells me she got all the care she needed while I was gone. I highly recommend Misti - I'll definitely be asking her to sit again!
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.
Gwynn was wonderful! She was super communicative, flexible to come to our house beforehand to get oriented, and attentive to details. She connected with our pup, Scout, immediately and we felt so assured that he would be well cared for with her. We hope Gwynn can come stay again another time!
I was thrilled to have Courtenay as our sitter. We had a few last minute changes and she was very accommodating. She is a very pleasant, well spoken person who bonded very quickly with our dog, Pepe. We were in Europe and Courtenay keep us we’ll informed via internet, pictures and all. We came home to a clean house, a happy pet and a delicious pie she left for us in the refrigerator. You would be very pleased to have her as your sitter. Lucy Hottle
Wendy was great, she kept us updated on the dogs and all the fun she had hiking with them on the mountain. I returned home to a very tidy house. My dogs just loved her. I will definitely have Wendy sit for me again and would be very lucky to have her do a sit for you.
Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

Cung was a wonderful cat sitter and housesitter and we would happily invite him back again. He was excellent with our cats and sent plenty of photos, and also left the house impeccably clean. We had to come back a day early and so we got to spend some time with him which we enjoyed as well. 10 out of 10 recommend! 
Kerry and Megan were wonderful sitters and took great care of our two cats while we were on vacation for two weeks. They were responsive, gave us regular updates, and seemed to really care about Tumba and Cappa. When Tumba was more timid toward the beginning of our trip and not eating her meals fully, Kerry was sure to ask for additional suggestions from us on how to coax her to eat more. Kerry and Megan also left the house just as we'd left it for them. We really appreciated them going the extra mile to ask about additional cleaning products so they could clean our bathrooms. It felt great to come home and just relax without needing to remake the bed. Thanks for everything, Kerry and Megan! We would certainly entrust our home and kitties to you again in the future.
Joi did a wonderful job caring for my two cats and two guinea pigs, as well as caring for my home! She is coming back in November for a long sit while I am out of the country and we all can’t wait. Joi had experience with rabbits and jumped right in with guinea pig care. She is so calm around them that they were sitting on her lap day one! She spent time preparing their vegetables and kept their enclosure and room clean, which requires daily effort. She even washed the floor mats in their room so it was fresh when I returned home. She went above and beyond sending me daily photos and videos so I could see that everyone was healthy and happy. It was apparent to me that she spent a lot of time with my pets, which is very important so they don’t become stressed and lonely when I am away. Joi also took excellent care of my two cats. They receive daily wet food with some medication and she ensured that they received it on time. My cats barely noticed when I returned because they got so much attention from Joi. She took excellent care of my front garden flowers and my tomato and herb hydroponic gardens. These take some daily attention and time in the summer, and I returned home to them looking great! Joi is a very caring, clean, and thoughtful sitter and I hope she comes back many more times!
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!
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!
Catherine was a wonderful sitter for our 17 year old cat Zabba. She sent us pictures twice a day and kept us informed about Zabba’s daily activities. We came home to a clean home and would definitely recommend her as a pet/ house sitter. My only concern was that she doesn’t drive and with an older cat, I just prayed that Zabba didn’t need to go to the vet…. And he didn’t 🥰. We will ask her again for sure.
We can not exaggerate the care and love Juliet and Laurent gave to our cat, Piero, during his the last few weeks of life. While we left for our trip thinking he merely had a bladder infection, his symptoms turned for the worse a weeks into their sit and later revealed he had cancer. No one would wish their sitter to need to hospice their cat but Juliet and Laurent showed such compassion for Piero and volunteered to be with him when we made the decision to put him down. It was an emotional time for all of us and we will be forever grateful to our two caring cat and house sitters. We have had many fantastic housesitters through zeewoi but Juliet and Laurent top the list. Their professionalism, constant communication and compassion were exceptional. Should you have the opportunity to have them in your home, do not hesitate to book them, you will have no regrets. We do, however, regret that they had such a short time with Piero and had to experience such a painful event.
If you are looking for someone to take care of your fur babies and your house while you're away, Daniel is your guy! I had discovered zeewoi just a couple of weeks before I was to leave on vacation and I was not only apprehensive if the website was too good to be true, but also under a real time crunch. I reached out to over 100 local sitters and several possibilities fell through. I was confident I would find the right sitter and when Daniel applied for the sit and I started to text and converse with him, I knew I had found the perfect sitter for my two cats! Daniel was upbeat and positive, articulate and personable, warm and caring, and he asked all the right questions about Lilly and Eli (I hadn't had the time to complete my Welcome Guide, yet!?!). I shared that I had an easy cat and problem cat -- Lilly, who is sweet, social and eats dry food, and Eli who is skittish, was periodically pooping outside the kitty litter box and was eating prescription canned food twice a day mixed with a probiotic and stool firmer. I asked if he thought he was up for the job and he happily said he was. Since he flew all the was from Chicago, I thought the least my husband and I could do was pick him up at the airport. When he arrived, he pulled out his notebook. He patiently walked with me as I reviewed kitty care, showed him around the house, and where he would be sleeping. He immediately picked up Lilly who was excited about meeting her new friend and Eli bugged out and down the stairs to the basement (his favorite hiding place!). We got Daniel connected to the internet, set him up at our dining room table and headed off to airport, leaving our house and kitties in the best of hands. Daniel wanted to make sure I felt comfortable and assured while we were away. He made sure to text with me every other day (he had asked my preference earlier), sent photos of Lilly being her cute self while Eli hid during the day although he gave me assurances that he was eating his food and using the litter box (there were a few accidents, but Daniel never complained about these additional duties). When we returned from our vacation, the house was also spotless and well cared for and Daniel had even washed the sheets for me! It is with utter happiness and complete confidence that I recommend Daniel as a fantastic Sitter. He is trustworthy, responsible, caring, and competent, and you can rest assured that both your house and sweet pets will be watched over and treated with TLC -- and will truly be in the best of hands while you are away!
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.
Tonya was great and filled in after our other sitter had to cancel. She was very self sufficient and navigated acclimating herself to everything since she arrived after we left. She gave thoughtful updates on my cat and I could tell she really enjoyed her, so that means the world to me! She left the place immaculate and we will certainly have Tonya back!
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 A$ 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!
My two boys love it here! They get so excited when the van pulls up. The Daycare is super convenient - the boys get picked up in the morning and dropped off in the arvo. There are webcams throughout the facility that allow me to watch my boys too, which is always entertaining. They come home tired and happy. Dog Royalty also offer boarding as well. We had our dogs stay at the Rossmore facility for about 3 weeks. It was a stressfree holiday for us not having to worry about them because they were constantly under supervision, whilst being entertained and kept to a nice schedule. The boys came back home from boarding looking as healthy as when they left. Would 100% recommend their service to others.
Chris and the team at Dog Royalty have been providing exceptional dog daycare and training to our two (very small, very big personality) boys, Franklin and Theodore, since 2020. Daycare: The drop off and pick up service is prompt and a huge timesaver for us, considering we both work and often would not be able to make pick up/drop off if we had to do this on our own. Our boys come home from their day exhausted but happy- and we can see why by checking in on them throughout the day using the dog royalty webcam. The team’s communication is fantastic, which was especially helpful in the transition period when both dogs started attending. The centre itself is a clean and well equiped enviroment, with plenty of activities. The team also regularly send us photo and video updates of them too, and overall, the service is very competitively priced. Training service: We also decided to enlist Doy Royalty's training services to help our youngest dog tackle some reactivity while walking on lead. Chris took the time to chat to us comprehensively about our goals and objectives, determined our current approach to training, and spent almost three hours walking us (literatally and figuratively) through a new, sensible and gentle training approach. By the end of this session we felt so much more confident in recognising and dealing with any lead reactivity and my partner and I now equipped with a consistent approach to dealing with any reactive behaviour. Chris also followed up with a comprehensive written training plan that has been easy to incorporate into our daily routine. I cannot recommend the Dog Royalty team enough when it comes to providing daycare and/or training for your fur baby. Thank you again, Chris and the Dog Royalty team!
Dog Royalty is awesome! They came highly recommended via a friend and family member, and have superseded our expectations. The staff are so great and you know they absolutely love their job. They provide the wonderful service of picking up and dropping off our fur-baby, Crumpet, which puts us at ease, particularly on the days we cannot work from home. It's a beautiful thing to know your dog is in wonderful and safe hands when he is away from us. We are chuffed and the pictures speak for themselves. We love the one that could pass as an album cover 😉 Louise Marrickville
Our dog loves Dog Royalty. It is his happy place. He is always super excited to be picked up by Dog Royalty’s van. The service is extraordinarily convenient - your furry friend gets picked up in the morning and dropped off in the afternoon, back home after a busy day of playing with other dogs. All staff members are super friendly, responsive and reliable. We never had any problems getting information or communicating with Dog Royalty. We highly recommend Dog Royalty. Your dog will love it!
Our dog Bobby loves attending daycare at Dog Royalty and doesn’t glance back to us when the trainers come to collect him at the start of the day. He was a tiny 2kg puppy when he first started attending but the trainers all took great care of him slowly introducing him to the other dogs. He is now a hefty 4kg and full of a confidence which belies his size. We get regular pictures of Bobby at play from the dog royalty team with pics. The team is all incredibly caring.
Fantastic service for busy dog owner’s in our community.Good communication between Dog Royalty and dog owner .Our Goldie just loves her daycare day and happily exhausted after it mentally and physically.
I am so grateful to Chris and his wonderful team at Dog Royalty. We have 2 mini groodle pups who are now 6 months old. Chris came to our home for training when the pups were just 10 weeks old, his advice, care and expertise allowed us to get off to a great start with the pups. His early visit, assessment and expertise were fundamental as it allowed us to implement training in those very early days. I would not hesitate to book another review with him if I had any concerns in the future. As soon as the pups were able to attend Dog Royalty day care the wonderful team assisted us in booking them in. The pick up and delivery service is excellent. The contact via the app and the webcam are wonderful. The pups are up each morning hoping that it is a day care day as they love it. Their attendance has allowed them to socialise with other dogs and the staff, this has translated in to them being calmer and friendly on our daily walks and day to day outings. The Dog Royalty staff are exceptional, knowledgeable, warm, friendly, professional and clearly love animals. 5 stars for every aspect of this service.
The first day our puppy left for Dog Royalty, I cried. I continued crying for the next few weeks. As a doggy parent, It’s hard putting your trust in others. But I’m so glad I found dog royalty. I kept seeing the van around my area so I thought I would look into it. I was on the waitlist for a good few months but when I got the email to say there were spots available, I immediately signed him up. My dog Thor LOVES going! When he hears the dog on the door, he goes absolutely nuts. The staff who pick him up and work there are always so friendly and reassuring and you can see how much they love dogs and him. It’s a pretty amazing service. He gets picked up and dropped off at the door. We also get a little debrief on our dog’s day. Dog royalty have a live webcam so I like to watch Thor and see what he gets up too. He comes back home sooo exhausted. Our dog is highly social and loves playing with other dogs so we know this is the right place for him. They also have a What’s App group so we can message them at any time and they are extremely prompt with their responses. It was hard letting go of him but I’m so glad I did it. He loves going. If he could go every day, he would. Don’t hesitate, just do it. Your dog will love it!
Gaston loves Dog Royalty, he waits to hear the sound of the van pull up & he loves his days there as he gets to play all day. He has come back calm and tired but also the added training he gets has helped mellow him out. He’s a big boy and full of beans so it’s been such a fantastic experience and the team all lovely with him & he is such a happy pup. Couldn’t recommend enough to try them out.I also love that I can check in on him whenever I want by logging in.
We LOVE Dog Royalty! My 1 year old English Staffy "Joy" has been attending Dog Royalty for over 4 months now and she always has the best time with her doggy pals and comes home utterly exhausted (and happy)! It's been so great for her socialisation skills and I love that they have a big outdoor play area (where Joy can enjoy her sunny bakes). Their pick up and drop off service is so convenient for full time workers (like myself). Chris and the team are always super friendly, helpful and they will treat your pooch like their very own (literally like Royalty). I also love the regular updates and photos they provide and the fact that you can watch your dog having the best time via their live camera's is the absolute best! and also gives you that peace of mind. Couldn't recommend them enough! I'm so happy that we found this amazing place :) Thank you for taking such great care of my Joy Joy!
Excellent Alfie had a great time judging by the updates and photos of him that I was sent A very good atmosphere. And a very nice owner who really enjoys having hounds around.
Brilliant experience, Jackie and John took excellent care of our dog. Can't recommend them highly enough, they have such a brilliant facility! Thank you both so much again.
It is so wonderful to have such a great place to leave our dog, she has such a fabulous time it’s like a lovely holiday for her.
Our little Pepper has been visiting the Inn for many many years now and absolutely loves his stay. Jack and John are wonderful carers and so attentive to the Furbabies.
We needed to board our dog Abby and I didn’t want her staying in a cage the whole time (which appeared to be the case for other dog boarding houses). I was very happy when I discovered The Paws Inn. They only take a small number of dogs and do not cage them. The dogs are treated like their own, they sleep inside and are free to roam inside and out. It’s like leaving your dog with a friend or neighbour. Awesome service!
Jackie and John looked after Coco so well. They kept me updated daily on how she was going. I'm sure I fretted more for her than she did for me as she had a ball.
Jackie and John have looked after my dogs for years. I never worry when i am away knowing the dogs are in good hands.
Our doggy is always looked after by the wonderful owners.
Called up the place up, the lady was quite rude and didn’t seem willing to answer questions - not the best first impression
Friendly and helpful staff
So grateful for Happy Little Howlers! Lisa and the team are truly amazing. Murphy has so much fun at doggy day care and I love seeing all the updates through the day. For a dog with so much energy, he is so tired at the end of the day after all the playing and learning. Thank you so much , highly recommended!!!!!
So good to my little Henry, and he just loves it there! I am incredibly grateful to Lisa and the team for all that they do, taking a chance on an anxious dog and helping him trust strangers and other dogs. There’s nothing like having a team we trust to care for our fur baby when we go away :)
Lisa and her Happy Little Howler Helpers are the best!!! My Harvey gives them 5 stars. Lisa takes daily videos and shares them on Instagram, so you can see for yourself the fun all our furry little family members have together. I highly recommend.
Gizmo and Bowie had their first daycare with Happy Little Howlers today and they both had the best time. Needless to say they are currently fast asleep! The communication was great with the staff during the day and I felt so comfortable leaving them both to be entertained and cared for during the day. Both dogs painted an adorable flower picture for Mothers Day for me to bring home. I highly recommend Happy Little Howlers. My next step is to book a holiday as they are located super close to the airport for a drop and fly! Thanks so much for taking care of my fur babies.
We dropped off our dogs Happy and Richie a couple of times now at Happy Little Howlers and we were pleased with the service. Our dogs get lots of socialising and play time, and can see daily updates on instagram so we know the dogs aren't bored whilst we're away. Lisa (the owner) is also very responsive.
My little pup stayed here for a month just before they started opening for business and he enjoyed every single day he stayed at Happy Little Howlers. I searched online for other pet boarding hotels near Sydney Airport and compared them all and by far i found that Happy Little Howlers provide best value for Money, Service and Assurance my dog is being looked after by someone who know what they are doing. Daily walks Daily play time with other dogs Regular updates direct through online messengers or Instagram Stories/Facebook Stories Brand new and very clean dog boarding hotel Live Web Cam (I watched my pup play with other dogs all the way from New York see attached picture) All the above points is why i have chosen Happy Little Howlers and the owner being a dog person herself i was confident my dog was in safe hands. Best Value for Money Other Pet Boarding Facilities charges for Daily Walks, Daily Play time, Daily Updates and Live Web Cam. I have saved thousands by choosing Happy Little Howlers as they provide these services already included on their daily boarding rates. Thanks Lisa! Miggie will be back soon
Lisa and the Happy Little Howlers team is absolutely amazing! Max, my pug had a lovely 15 days stay with them and I was getting lots of updates through Instagram videos and sometimes chat. Thanks so much team and I will definitely be using their services again! My first choice! Max looks so happy and he is in such energetic spirits after returning.
Picked up our cocker spaniel (Jasper) today after his first extended stay at Happy Little Howlers. He’s happy, healthy and in great spirits after his stay. Thank you again Lisa and your team for taking such great care of him. We will be back. Highly recommend!
We were unsure of which pet boarding business to use however due to Happy Little Howlers location and all the great reviews we decided to use them to look after our puppy 'Queen Bee' while we went away for a few days. Dealing with Lisa during the booking process was a pleasure as she answered all my many questions and even during the stay we were able to extend Queen Bee's stay by a night with short notice and nothing was a problem at all. Happy Little Howlers is extremely clean and looked very well organised and the dogs we saw on arrival appeared eager to get in for their day care. Our drop off and pick up was a breeze and when we arrived to pick up our puppy all the dogs sounded like they were all very happy and there was a lot of playing. Thanks Lisa and your team for looking after Queen Bee and we will definitely be using Happy Little Howlers again and will highly recommend it to all our friends and family. Cheers Brett, Amy, Billie and Queen Bee :)
The staff at Happy Little Howlers are amazing! My two little Dachshunds have both been here a couple times now and they have just come home from a whole week and seem super happy after their stay. I was a bit anxious with my puppy only being 5 months old but he has gained so much confidence and is a very social puppy from his experience. I highly recommend Happy Little Howlers to anyone looking for either daycare or boarding. Staff are super friendly and helpful and the dogs look like they have the best time here.
Maddy is a natural dog lover and they love her too. She is responsible and caring and I trust her implicitly with my doggy. Maddy has been walking my dog Pepper for a few years now and often has her for extended sleepovers when I'm away. Pepper is made to feel at home and is always thrilled to Maddy. I get lots of pix and updates of their adventures together. If you're looking for a dog walker or sitter - I highly recommend!
Maddi is an incredible dog walker and pet sitter! She grew up with animals and truly loves them, she will take the best care of your fur babies while you are at work or on holiday. She is energetic, caring, and reliable. I cannot recommend her enough. I trust her completely to take care of my pups and can go about my day with peace of mind.
Maddy has been an amazing dog walker for my 2 girls! They looove when they hear her arriving. She is very experienced and professional! Highly recommend her services
For years, Madelyn from Gypsy Tail Dog Walking has been the cornerstone of care for my beloved Great Dane. Her dedication, expertise, and genuine love for my dog are unparalleled. Madelyn has a unique ability to manage my Great Dane's size and energy with ease and grace. Her calm and confident demeanor has turned what could be challenging walks into delightful adventures. Whether it's a leisurely stroll or an energetic run, she knows exactly how to keep my Great Dane happy and engaged. Her attention to detail and commitment to my dog’s well-being are truly remarkable. Madelyn is always punctual, reliable, and goes above and beyond to ensure my Great Dane is not only exercised but also loved and cared for. She’s taken the time to understand his quirks, preferences, and needs, which has made a world of difference in his happiness and health. Over the years, Madelyn has become more than just a dog walker; she’s a trusted friend and an essential part of our lives. Knowing she’s there gives me peace of mind, and I’m incredibly grateful for her outstanding service. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog with the same love and care as you do, Madelyn from Gypsy Tail Dog Walking is the perfect choice. She’s a true gem in the world of pet care!
Madeline is such a beautiful person that has inspiring love for animals. It's amazing to see how she cares and look after my puppy. I highly recommended Maddy, your puppy will be in the best hands 😍 …
Madelyn has been exceptional in caring for and walking my dog. She is reliable, attentive, and clearly loves what she does. My dog is always excited to see her and comes back happy and well-exercised. I highly recommend her for her outstanding service and dedication to pet care.
Maddy is the most warm welcome human! That truly loves dogs. I experienced many dog walkers/doggy daycare and Madeline is by far my favourite and definitely my dogs favourite! She genuinely cares so much for dogs and have so much trust in her. My dog Goldie loves her and would be waiting for Maddy at the door in the mornings!
I've had Maddy help with minding my dog for a long time and it's been such a pleasure dealing with her. She takes such good care of our little fur baby. She's like Dr Doolittle she's magic with animals.
Madelyn is an amazing human and is so wonderful with dogs. She is very reliable and trustworthy and takes excellent care of all animals in her care. Highly recommend.
Madelyn is a wonderful dog walker! From the very first interaction, it was clear that she is passionate about dogs and genuinely cares for them. I have seen the dogs interact with her, and she has a natural magnetism; they simply love her and are quite responsive to her. It's simply magical. Madelyn has been walking Ily for six months now, and I couldn't be happier with her services. Ily has also stayed overnight several times, as well as for one or two weeks at Madelyn’s lovely home when I have gone on work trips. She has access to a park downstairs and a very large balcony that opens to a terrace with grass. I feel good knowing that Ily is in good hands when I have to travel. Madelyn is reliable, responsible, friendly, and always arrives with a big smile. She takes the time to ensure that each walk is fun and stimulating for Ily, tailoring the route to suit Ily’s energy levels and preferences. I love receiving the adorable photos and updates after the walks, which show her level of care. What truly sets Madelyn apart is her exceptional attention to detail and genuine love for animals. She always makes sure that Ily is comfortable, well-hydrated, and happy. It's such a relief to know that my furry friend is in such capable and caring hands. I highly recommend Madelyn to anyone in need of a trustworthy, professional, and compassionate dog walker. Thank you, Madelyn, for going above and beyond in taking care of Ily!
Kristie is amazing, we love her for what she does for us. Working full time makes having a dog hard but with Kristie taking our beautiful dog Bella everyday for her walks makes life less hectic. She is more than a dog walker she is like a friend looking after your dog. We have been using her 18 months now and appreciate her so much.
Kristie is an outstanding dog walker! I highly recommend her services. She's friendly, reliable, and truly cares about the dogs she walks. My pup always comes back happy and tired after his walks with Kristie. Trustworthy and professional—I'm so glad I found her!
I started sending my dog to Sunnywalkz when he was a puppy and we’ve never looked back. A friend recommended Kristie to me and I have now recommended her to numerous others. Kristie has such a good relationship with Ralph and he gets super excited when he sees her coming to pick him up. 🤣 she always brings the dogs to a variety of different places and it definitely gets a lot of is energy out which is exactly what we wanted! I love the videos and pictures she puts on her instagram so I can see what he did for the day. Kristie is great to deal with and always communicates well with us, I trust her 100% with Ralph. I couldn’t recommend her enough to any new or current dog owners ☺️
Our CavaTzu Pablo always looks forward to his walks with Kristie and his Sunnywalkz pals. Kristie is punctual and reliable, and gives personal attention to every dog in each group. We are very happy with her service.
Kristie has been walking our Rory since he was a puppy and he couldn't have been in better hands! You won't find a better more caring dog walker! Truly thankful for her everyday!
Kristie has been walking my dog, Tim Tam, for several weeks now and she does a stellar job. Tim Tam is calm and happy in the evenings after being taken on a group walk, and it brings me peace of mind at work to know that he is going on adventures and not cooped up all day. Kristie is very responsive to messages and flexibly accommodates my changing schedule. I look forward to seeing what Tim Tam gets up to each day through the photos and videos she posts! Thanks Kristie 😊
From the very first day we introduced our beloved Pippa to Sunnywalkz, we knew we had stumbled upon something special. Owned by the incredibly warm and passionate Kristie, Sunnywalkz isn't just a dog walking service—it's a heartfelt extension of your family's love and care for your furry friend. Kristie showers on every dog she takes under her wing. Pippa, our spirited little adventurer, instantly bonded with Kristie, and their daily walks became the highlight of her day. Kristie's reliability is unparalleled. Her flexibility and willingness to accommodate last-minute requests have been a lifesaver for us on numerous occasions. The peace of mind that comes with entrusting your beloved pet to Sunnywalkz is invaluable. Kristie provides regular updates, adorable photos, and even detailed notes on how Pippa is doing, which for a pet parent, is incredibly reassuring. Thank you for everything Kristie & Sunny xxx
Our Golden Retriever loves going on adventures with Sunnywalkz. She's super excited when she gets picked up and returns even happier. During her walks there is plenty of time to play with her friends, to sniff and rest, and it's great we can follow the adventures on Social Media too :-) Thank you for taking such good care of her!
What a fantastic pet sitter we have found in Kelly. We were so fortunate to have Kelly look after two elderly cats whilst we went away on a family holiday for a week. It took away the stress of leaving them for an extended period, especially as they are such shy and nervous girls. Kelly gave detailed regular updates twice a day, photos, was reliable and treated our animals like her own. I would highly recommend booking in Kelly if you need a caring and reliable petsitter.
A year on from my original review I stand by every point I make after having Kelly look after my cat over 10 times. Kelly is such a trustworthy and lovely catsitter, and my cat continues to love her visits when I'm away. She ensures the place is tidy, pops out any rubbish from when I've been away and happily brings in any mail. --- Kelly is the best - from the moment I met her at our intake/meet + greet she was so thorough with her notes on what my cat likes/dislikes and information in case of any emergency. She has been so understanding with my rescue cat who has some special needs (he’s got one eye and FIV) who I wanted to have comfy at home in his own environment while I was away. You can tell how Kelly loves on your cat as though they are her own - in all of her photo + videos my cat Major Tom is super relaxed, playful, purry, snuggly and content to be with her. Her thorough daily updates give the best peace of mind while you are away plus she takes stunning pet photos! Kelly will be my go to catsitter everytime I head away. Lots of purry meowy love from Major Tom + Steph for Kelly’s stellar care.
We recently had the pleasure of having Kelly take care of our cat Cleo during our two-week holiday, and we couldn’t be happier with her service. Kelly was not only punctual but also kept us updated more than we hoped for, providing regular updates and photos. Her dedication and genuine care for Cleo gave us peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend Kelly and will definitely ask for her help next time we go away. 🥰🐈
Kelly was an absolute dream. I cannot recommend her more highly. She looked after my cat and sent lots of photos and videos while we were away. Nothing was too much trouble for Kelly like the extra services she offered of bringing in the bins, collecting packages and mail. She always ensured everything was locked up tight and the alarm on. Would hire her again in a heartbeat. Thanks Kelly. Really appreciated your help.
Wow this the the best cat sitting experience we have ever had! We have 2 loved and playful bengals, leaving them at home was a worry for us. We received video and photo updates, detailed information on their eating and their interactions with Kelly. So thankful we found Kelly and will definitely use next time.
Olive & Fern Pet Sitting is our trusted support when we travel to take care of our beautiful cat. Kelly runs an extremely professional service. Kelly treats our cat as her own and is diligent and kind. We are very grateful for her kind assistance over the holidays and cannot recommend her services more highly. She documents and shares daily updates and photos / videos, which is so reassuring. Our cat is healthy and very happy when we returned home from our holiday. Thank you Kelly.
I am so happy with how well Kelly looked after my fur babies when I was away. I received lots of updates and photos and it’s very obvious Kelly genuinely cares deeply for animals. Both my cats are naturally anxious around new people but were very comfortable with Kelly! I couldn’t recommend her any more.
I am BEYOND grateful to have stumbled upon Kelly’s instagram one day because to have her look after my 3 babies for a weekend was an absolute BLESSING! Kelly visited them twice a day, sent the most in depth updates and photos, fed and played with them, and by the time she had left, my kitten was waiting by the door for her to come back. Kelly is so wonderful, so kind, so helpful, reliable and so loving to pets, and it was honestly the most seamless and stress free travel experience I’ve had because I knew my cats were in great hands. I, as well as Maple, Aki and Haru, would recommend Kelly to anyone!!!!!
Kelly is amazing! She is highly professional and took exceptional care of my cat Steven. Kelly provided detailed daily updates, inclusive of photos, which was so reassuring whilst I was away. Steven loved Kelly’s visits and was calm and happy in her presence. I will definitely be asking Kelly to pet sit again the next time I am away.
Kelly provided outstanding pet care while I was away, and I highly recommend her services. She consistently arrived on time, fed my cats, set the dinner timer, cleaned litter trays, and ensured fresh water. She even made friends with my shy cats and sent regular SMS updates with photos and videos. Kelly's communication was excellent, making the entire process easy and stress-free. Her genuine love for cats was evident, giving me complete peace of mind. I wholeheartedly recommend Kelly as a fantastic petsitter!
Naiyo was really enjoy her vacation with Hanrob Pet Hotel; because there is only her at home, she doesn't have any fur or human siblings, only Mom and Dad at home, she sometime feels lonely; staying at Hanrob, she could play with lots of fur friends; and she tried to get lot of human staffs' attention as possible, she loves to get close with everyone and every fur friends. During her staying, she seemed only interested in play and social time, not so interested in her own food which I brought to her; thanks for the girls in kennel always trying to different kinds of combination feed her; I am really appreciated it ;) I am fully aware that my fur baby is very fussy about the food. Even when she is at home, her mommy also need to try the combination feeding her ;( However, I still try to spoil her as I could. All the Hanrob Staff, thanks ;)
I was hesitant to board our cavoodle dog to begin with, but the staff were so kind, helpful and assuring he would be well looked after, and he definitely was. Usually quite timid he came home smiling and super happy. It’s affordable and the extra play dates and cuddles are def recommended. Every time I spoke to the staff they were super friendly and I knew he would be in good hands. Thanks Hanrob for looking after our Humphrey!
This was the 1st time we left our dog for a few days. As any pet parent would be nervous but our dog LOVED his stay at Hanrob Pet Hotel. The staff were amazing with looking after all the animals and giving us daily updates to make sure he was okay. Highly recommend Hanrob. Thank you all so much 🐾 …
If I could give zero stars, I would. My pup stayed here for a few days earlier in the year whilst I was away. When I went to pick him up, he was in distress and shaking. Initially, I thought it was excitement to see me but by the time we got home, his anxiety increased, and he was physically trembling. When I looked at his mouth I noticed he had cuts in his lips where they had obviously muzzled him. He has never bitten at anyone and has a calm nature. I had to get him ointment to heal his wounds. On top of that, the report I received had said he was well behaved but referred to him as her, so they clearly hadn't taken any notice that he is a boy and wrote the reports with no knowledge of his stay. I was thoroughly disappointed that they never mentioned about the muzzle and left my poor pup in such a terrified state. I will never leave him in that place again.
Bandit spent three days at Hanrob Sydney Airport and had a fantastic time. Lots of cuddles from the attentive staff and lots of play with another crazy oodle. He has returned for daycare since.
My Boxer mix loves Hanrob daycare. Great outdoor space. Staff are lovely. Convenient location for me plus close to airport should I want to board him if I need to travel. He loves seeing his friends and making new friends.
I using Jetpets to fly my two dogs from Australia to LA and they had a two day stay at Hanrob. I spoke to Stacy repeatedly and she was absolutely lovely. She encouraged me to call as often as I wanted, and every time I called, she put me on hold to personally go lay eyes on the dogs. She got updates from the carers and passed along info about their eating and sleeping and outside time. She made an uncomfortable situation less uncomfortable. Thank you so much Stacy for being so kind to me and my monsters.
The staff here did an above-and-beyond job of looking after my poodle "Ninja". They helped nurse him back to health from a skin condition I discovered only 2 hours before needing to drop him off and go overseas. It was extremely stressful to leave him there a bit sick, but they took care of him 100%. He came back totally recovered. They also adjusted his washing, stay options and playtimes to make his stay as good as can be - as a first time boarding user I didn't quite get the options right, but Hanrob provided him what he needed despite what I picked. Truly an exceptional place in my opinion. One downside is that walking was not available here, but they seemed to adjust for that too, with extra outside time, etc. The take away is that their focus is on looking after the dog as best they possibly can and I am very appreciative of that. Thank you very much to everyone at the Hanrob Airport Kennel.
AVOID!! If I could give zero stars I would ! My dog stayed at Hanrob Sydney airport for 10 days before his flight to Hong Kong. He arrived with a scratched nose and horrible sores on his elbows which I blamed the long trip in the crate for, where he couldn't really lay on his side. Today he had surgery because the sores where so big he was risking and infection!! Just to be sure I went back to check the photos I received as "update" and zooming in I realized the sores on the elbows where already present at that time during his stay! No one mentioned them though, everything was kept silent! God knows where he has been kept all those days to get such wounds. The last thing my dog needed after such a trip was being put asleep to fix this, not to mention the stress it causedhim and the vet bill. Shame on them! AVOID AT ALL COST
Thank you to all for taking care of our biggest baby Kane . We are first timers so I wasn’t sure about leaving him with anyone . However with the help of your customer service team Morgan Garlinge she put my mind at ease that he was in great hands . Kane was happy, and really excited to be home and we couldn’t be happier with the service and how much he was loved while he was with you . I’ll definitely keep you in mind for our next big holiday . Thank you 🙏
Paulette is the only person I would trust outside of my family to look after my fur baby. My little toy poodle (9yrs old) absolutely LOVES her and the other little dogs she looks after! He loves her so much that we ran into her on the street the other day and when it came to saying goodbye, my dog wanted to stay with her instead of coming with me hahaha! He stayed with Paulette for a couple of weeks when we went o/seas last year and he was soooooo well looked after! He also does daytime doggy daycare visits which he loves...he drags me toward her house when he realises where we are...definitely a good sign! If you have a small dog I would highly recommend Paulette...she’s such a sweet person and gives nothing but love to the doggies in her care!
I am really happy to have found Paulette and her doggy day care. She is so attentive to Howie, who was a shy puppy when we first took him. We get regular updates when he's there and his socialization has improved immensely! I think we will going for many years to come.
I’m delighted to have found Paulette at Doggy Day Care Sydney. I take my little shoodle to her during the week when I’m at work for a long day - it’s his home away from home. Paulette send me messages and photos throughout the day and I’m so confident he is well looked after while I’m out. Highly recommend her services.
I had a 'high needs' older dog, Simba, who I had brought home from Europe at 13 years. Paulette was Simba's [and my] guardian angel. I do not know how I would have managed a busy, demanding job and cater for Simba's needs. Paulette was loving and attentive, and trust worthy. Simba loved going to her place and I could go away and know he was loved and cared for and safe. I cannot recommend her enough.
My cats were so well looked after Paulette! They are normally so fussy but when I got back after a week they were all over her. I would trust her again to look after my cats anytime. :)
Paulette has been looking after our Muse for over a year now. Muse LOVES going to Doggy Day Care Sydney!! 😃😃😃 …
Paulette has been amazing in helping look after my dog over the last year. Can't recommend her services enough!
No one should ever worry about their loved pet being in the care of Paulette.
Wonderful homely place for the dog's that get pampered by the lovely paulette.
The only place I trust with my many puppers
Love Mad Paws! So nice to have my dog cared for by Savin and his family each time we go away 🤩 I know my dog is looked after and loved. So lovely to receive pics of him while we’re away too. Thanks so much for caring for my little darling while we’re away 🥰 …
We recently had an unfortunate experience with Adrian, who we found through MadPaws. Our 6-year-old Golden Retriever, Benji, stayed with him last week, and while the sitter had great reviews and the meet-and-greet with his Maremmano dog went smoothly, our experience was far from what we had hoped for. When we picked Benji up, we noticed a lot of blood on his thigh. At first, we thought it might be a scratch, but once we got home, we discovered five puncture wounds, which were clearly bite marks. We were devastated and rushed Benji to the emergency vet twice that night to ensure he received the care he needed. We messaged the sitter to let him know what had happened and shared photos of the wounds. Initially, he denied that his dog could have bitten Benji, claiming he always monitors the dogs. While we weren’t accusing him, we simply wanted to share our experience so he could take extra precautions in the future. Unfortunately, he did not respond to our concerns at first. After following up to express how upsetting the situation was and mentioning we would leave feedback on MadPaws to inform other pet owners, he finally apologized. However, we felt that the response lacked genuine empathy or acknowledgment of the seriousness of what happened. We are sharing this feedback not to defame the sitter but to inform other pet owners. If you are considering this sitter, please be aware of his dog’s behavior and ensure your pet’s safety. We don’t want any other pets to go through what Benji endured. Benji is recovering now, but this experience has left us deeply shaken. As pet owners, we understand how important it is to ensure our furry friends are safe and well-cared for when we’re away, and we hope this feedback helps others make an informed decision.
Tiago and his partner were absolutely wonderful with having our puppy sleep over for a night. They were lovely to deal with and treated our little man with such care and kindness. We highly recommend Mad Paws. What an awesome and easy service to use. 🐾
Dont use these services, just google pet sitters and walkers and have a chat with one of them about options, all pet sitters are different and you will be able to find someone who suits your needs without letting Mad Paws take a cut for no reason at all, they provide nothing.
Terrible company, after contacting about 50 sitters who are either overpriced or keep declining I’m still yet to find someone who can look after my pets. The app is horrid and keeps crushing and the fee they want to take makes the whole sitting unaffordable. Would not recommend
Great business very easy to use and our pet sitter was amazing our dog loved her stay. Will be using her again for sure. Can 100% recommend Mad Paws
I've been using mad paws for over a year and had great sitters each time. I like that you can see reviews before booking with someone. We have a few sitters now that we use on a regular basis.
Mad Paws is a fantastic service that put me in touch with great dog people. The system was really easy to use, I was able to review potential pet sitters based on their profile, reviews and proximity to my home. Booking and payment was secure and simple. Each pet sitter has looked after our puppy perfectly and sent photo updates while we were away. Our dog returned home happy and relaxed. I can highly recommend this service.
Mad Paws is a great service that put me in touch with a wonderful cat sitter. The system was really easy to use - I was able to review potential pet sitters based on their profile and reviews, and proximity to my home. Booking and payment was secure and simple. Fiona, the caring sitter that looked after my two cats did everything perfectly and sent me updates during my time away. The cats were relaxed and happy when I returned. I can highly recommend this service.
I found Mad Paws by accident and was very impressed with this service. The booking process is quick, easy and support is always available if required. The prices are very reasonable in my opinion. My dog had a great time as the sitter owns two dogs so he had a lot of bonding with his new mates. I'll definite use Mad Paws from now on as it was a very positive experience for me and my dog and totally opposite to the kennel which I found impersonal, expensive and jail-like.
