Pares is an experienced and quality sitter and we knew our cat Juniper (and a few plants) was well cared for. We received regular updates and photos which was really nice to have during our travels. While we missed Juniper, we could see that she enjoyed receiving cuddles and attention from Pares. Upon returning home, our flat was clean and tidy, and Juniper was very happy! Thank you for taking care of her!
Carole and Ron are excellent cat-sitters! They took very good care of my cat Lola and of my house. I came home to a happy cat and a very clean and tidy house. They sent me pictures of Lola and kept me updated, so that I had a very relaxed holiday. I very highly recommend them as cat- sitters and I would be thrilled if they would come back to sit for Lola again. Thank you so much!
Anna was an excellent sitter - she took great care to understand all of the intricacies of taking care of the house and cats, asked lots of questions, and arrived on time and ready for the sit. During the trip, she checked in with updates, and upon returning home, left the space tidy and clean. The cats were happy and healthy, and seemed to have had a great time during the sit. Thanks Anna!
Sharon and Milton were outstanding sitters and if I could give more than 5 stars I certainly would. Reliable, communicative, helpful, self sufficient and tidy, they took great care of my home. More importantly my cats were lovingly cared for and extremely content when we returned. I highly recommend Sharon and Milton without reservation and hope to have them return in the future.
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!
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.
Great sitter would hire Stephen and Jenny in a heartbeat. Great with dogs cat and house
Toby and Chloe were one of the best house sitters we have ever had! As a small animal vet I have seen many types of pet sitters and these guys are top notch. Our pets are not easy either. We have special needs dogs, cats on medication, dogs with behavioral issues, horses, chickens, goats and a large (100 lb) Sulcata tortoise who needed close monitoring of the temperature in his barn. Everyone was thriving and happy when we came home. They read through the packet and asked thorough, thoughtful questions. They went above and beyond grooming, mucking and grazing the horses and goats everyday. They chopped greens and fruit daily for our tortoise. If we had known how amazing they were we would have booked a 3 week trip instead! Can't recommend them enough.
My husband and I are so grateful for Cendy staying with our ~1yr old cat for nearly a full month. We were nervous to leave her for so long but Cendy had Wilma literally eating out of the palm of his hand and snuggling with him in no time. Cendy was incredibly communicative with us and attentive to Wilma consistently for the entire duration of the sit which was such a relief and gave us the piece-of-mind needed to fully enjoy our trip. We returned back to an impeccably clean apartment and a very content kitty. For the first few days back Wilma was definitely looking around for Cendy, missing her buddy. We (and Wilma!) would welcome Cendy back any time, especially for a longer stay knowing how responsible of a sitter he was. Couldn't recommend enough!
Kristi was an exceptional house / pet sitter and we appreciate her being so flexible as were not sure how long our vacation was going to be. She was prompt, courteous, and even drove up the weekend before to meet with us. She took great care of our house and our dog snd cats loved her. I would highly recommended her.
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!
Wow! This place is fantastic under the new owners. The newly built housing is superb. They take such great care of our dogs & the staff are so caring & wonderful. These guys really are on point & they are now our first choice for doggy vacations. Thanks to the owners & staff for everything you do.
Highly recommend Northside Pet Resort! Paul, Maree and the team cared for our dogs Mable and Gordon like they were their own. We first used Northside Pet Resort not long after Paul & Maree purchased the resort. Our dog Mable had injured her leg when she was only a year old and needed to be kept quiet while she healed. Mable attended Doggy Day Care while we were at work and she was cared for beautifully. We have just left them for 10 days while we were on holidays. Gordon and Mable had never boarded anywhere before so this was a new experience for them. When we picked them up they were happy and clean and fluffy! It was great to see pictures and videos of them while we were away playing and having fun! Thank you Paul, Maree and team for caring for our dogs so beautifully. Cathy
What a great place for your fur babies. Our little daschound just loves going there for both doggy daycare and sleepovers. The staff are amazing and really get to know your fur babies.
I don't like giving 5 star reviews because it can be misleading. In this case it's not. The people run the place are approachable and will always return your call if missed. They look after your pet in the best possible way. My dog never has any issues when he is dropped off at their establishment.
Ramsay loves coming to stay and play, the staff are lovely and are so friendly and genuine. The facilities are amazing and you can see all the dogs being dropped off and picked up are so happy. Great for boarding and also doggy day care.
My Golden Retriever stayed here for 7 nights and I was extremely happy with the service. We were welcomed upon arrival, and I felt comfortable leaving him with such friendly nice people. The facilities also looked amazing. While I was away, I received nearly daily updates of him playing with other dogs on Facebook and he even was given a bath the day before pick up so came home extremely clean and happy. He will definitely be going back. 😊
Thank you for the wonderful personalised care and attention you take with all the animals that come and stay at your resort. The service you provide at your immaculately clean facilities is the best I have experienced for my shy cat Samantha & calm dog Rodney. Both animals were cared for so well Rodney was very happy and freshly bathed and not looking eager to leave. I know he would have been quite happy to stay. Samantha calm & content. I can’t thank you all enough. This is life changing for our family as we now have somewhere amazing for our animals to stay. See you again in a few weeks 😊
Northside Pet Resort the best we have used. For both our younger pup and older dog. The professionalism and knowledge of the owners is second to none. You know your dogs are in the best of hands and loved while staying there. The surroundings are beautiful, clean and modern. I would recommend to anyone. Top notch place for pooches.
Paul, Maree and the Northside Pet Resort team are amazing. My dog absolutely loves going there for his weekly doggy daycare catch up with furry friends and feels right at home when staying longer. Thanks to Paul and Maree and team who spend so much time with all furry family members.(dogs and cats). I highly recommend Northside Pet Resort.
The staff and management are so kind and caring from drop off to pick up. We left our dog and cat here while away and emailed for updates and they were both very well looked after. I would not hesitate to recommend this pet resort and we will be returning in the future
I cannot recommend Kip Brisbane Pet Resort enough. This was the first boarding experience for our recently rescued greyhound. Since he has had a tricky start around people and other dogs, I was feeling a bit nervous about how he would go. From the start the staff were incredibly reassuring. The photos and videos I received each day showed how patient, warm and loving the staff were towards him. It is clear to see in all the videos and photos he was so happy and relaxed. Not only did he have a great stay he also had an opportunity to develop his confidence around other people and dogs which has gone above my expectations 😊.
So happy with Kip Happy Stays Brisbane. The daily updates are so great. Staff are genuinely caring and kind to your pets and always accomodating. Definitely recommend. We travel an hour to use this service because we trust the care provided. :-)
Great knowing our dog loves her second home away from us We have had two stays for more than two weeks each time and our dog gets the most out of her stay. Love Kips highly recommended Nothing to worry about peace of mind to enjoy your time away
Highly recommend. We were anxious to leave our 3 dogs for 4 nights. The staff were amazing. We were sent photos and videos daily. They went for a bush walk and even bathed them before pickup 💖 …
Our Billy came home from Kip with a huge smile on his face and he is so much more relaxed and well-behaved, we cannot thank the fantastic Team at Kip enough for that. This was his first stay at Kip, but not the last :) He even made a few new friends (both human and doggy friends). We highly recommend Kip to any pet parent :)
Every time Hugo stays at Kip Brisbane Pet Resort at Kurwongbah , he comes home with a huge smile on his face! If you find it difficult to leave your fury friend behind, you can be reassured by the pictures showing them having lots of fun. The staff are always friendly and clearly enjoy their work. Would highly recommend Kip to anyone looking for a holiday spot that their dog will love so much that they'll never want to leave
We boarded our dachshund at Kip for two weeks. The process from touring the property to picking up our dog was all very smooth! The staff at Kip reassured us of all the safety measures they have in place and answered all our questions. The daily photo updates of our puppy put our mind to ease. It was our first time boarding our dog and we will definitely be using Kip again if we are away travelling and need a safe and happy place to look after our doggo. Thanks team!
Mia always loves her stays at Kip - I am sure she prefers to be there than at home. The staff are so caring and amazing, I can’t thank them enough!
We have had our dogs stay here numerous times now with no issues. The staff are super friendly and our dogs are always looked after. We get daily photo updates as part of the service which is always nice while your away. Our dogs always arrive home clean and smelling wonderful! We don't know how we get them so clean!
I wouldn’t trust anyone else with our two beagles. We get daily videos and pictures and they come home smelling amazing and ready to sleep for days. I really feel that they would rather be there than anywhere else based on their excitement on arrival. Definitely deserving of a five star review!
I can't say enough about the service that Shauna provides. She looked after my two dogs for over two weeks. I received so many amazing photos, videos and updates. Shauna goes above and beyond for her clients. When she comes to our local dog park and all the dogs that stay with her race up to see her with such excitement, I don't think you can get any better recommendation than that. Thank you so much for the love, care and attention you provided to my boys. I highly recommend Shauna's Pet Care.
Excellent day care service. My Min Pin attends and loves it. Shauna is definitely an animal lover! Professional, reasonable rates,great communication, my dog is really well cared for and there's plenty of games and walkies,and nap times too! It's been a game changer for me to help give my doggo the best quality life. 10/10 highly recommended
I recently had the pleasure of entrusting my beloved cat, Trouble, to the care of the EXTRAORDINARY pet sitter, Shauna. From the moment I met Shauna, it was evident that she possessed a genuine love and passion for animals, making my decision to leave Trouble in her capable hands an easy one. Throughout the entire pet-sitting period, Shauna went above and beyond to create a comfortable and stimulating environment for Trouble. She followed my instructions to the letter, ensuring that Trouble's diet and playtime needs were all met with the utmost care. What truly stood out was Shauna's ability to forge a genuine connection with Trouble – it was evident from the daily updates and adorable photos she sent that they had formed a special bond. If you're searching for a pet sitter who goes the extra mile, look no further than Shauna. She truly is a cat whisperer and a gem in the world of pet care. I wholeheartedly recommend Shauna to anyone seeking a compassionate and reliable companion for their furry family members. Trouble and I are both immensely grateful for the wonderful care provided by Shauna – she is, without a doubt, our go-to pet sitter from now on!
I am so glad I found Shauna for my dog Frankie. She is amazing, having a natural affinity with animals. The enrichment activities she does with the dogs is exceptional - walks, socialising with other dogs, swims in the pool and at the beach, never ending ball throws. When Frankie realises the car is turning into Shauna’s street, her tail starts to wag and she jumps out of the car eagerly. You go that one step further for our fur babies each and every day. Thank you for your care Shauna. You are one in a million.
Banks the Aussie Shepherd gives Shauna 5 stars. He loved going there over the holidays, when we arrived for day 2 he couldn't wait to get out of the car! He is a very active dog and had plenty of stimulation in a very safe and caring environment. Shauna played fetch, took the dogs to the park, let them swim in the pool and just hang out with the other dogs. This is a very affordable option for dogs that need company and activity, we were so happy with the service and Banks certainly benefitted from his time out there. We will be back !
Our border collie pup has been going to Shauna weekly since May 23. She has recently just spent 5 nights with Shauna and has had the most fun. We were updated with hundreds of photos and videos. Shauna took our pup all over Brisbane and to different beaches. Our pup was so spoilt and had an absolute ball. I will always recommend Shauna to our friends and family who need a pet sitter.
Shauna was an absolute gem! I booked to have my cats Zeus and Yuki looked after while I went on holiday with my partner and she took excellent care of them. She sent plenty of photos to keep us updated on the status of our cats and they even made friends with some of the other animals during their time. I truly recommend her for any pet sitting needs.
Our fur babies stayed with Shauna, they have never had so much fun when being away from us. Our minds were put at rest with the first set of photos, Shauna sent to us, we were able to enjoy our break, knowing that they were in fine hands and having a ball. We recommend Shauna’s pet care, absolutely marvellous, you will enjoy your break more and so will your fur babies, absolutely fantastic. Dave and Sue Ballard.
Highly recommend Shauna's Pet Care. Shauna is a reliable, warm, caring animal lover who is both responsive and understanding to the needs of each of the individual animals in her care. Pets in Shauna's care are treated like family. 5/5
Coco adores going to Shauna's as she makes her day so much fun and Coco also has so much fun with and loves her fur buddies who attend on a regular basis. Thanks for being our lifesaver!
Professional managers listened to each person & pet Pride in well presented business, good car park, Fair prices, user friendly web site Bespoke attention to my pet for a burn off energy run around, loved it!
Great facilities and staff. Love looking after our Pat Princess Ms Vadia. The team is extremely flexible and will do everything they can to accommodate your needs. We would not trust anyone else to look after our Little Combat Wombat Ms Vadia Chapman- Smith
My dog hated the kennel. He didn't want anything to do with it or the staff. And as such he couldn't stay. But Taylor (I hope that's right) was absolutely awesome. It was a difficult situation. Everything was tried. And an unfortunately Marco couldn't stay the night. The young ladies employed here where absolutely wonderful.
We are very satisfied with the care of our pups and professionalism of the team. We had a meet and great prior to the stay. The team explained about the behaviours that they were looking for in one of our dogs as she has a breed that is known to be aggressive. The team explained how their stay went and were happy to share details about how they interacted with the other dogs etc. 100% recommend. I wish I knew the name of the young lady with long dark, slightly wavy hair who helped us with the meet and greet and the pick-up so I could thank her in person. Zoe and Zara thank you!
Always have a positive experience when booking through Brisbane boarding kennels. Easy to book and Worth the value. Excellent service and they always make your fur baby feel loved! My Bodhi always has the best time and loves being there. Would definitely recommend. 5 out of 5!
The staff were lovely and helpful and very accommodating. Both of my dogs lost weight while there, my bigger dog lost a significant amount of weight, I can see her bones, shes happy as ever but I am extremely distressed by her condition. Prior to their stay both were at perfect weights.
We would rate Brisbane Boarding Kennels and Cattery up with the best that we have used. The accommodation Lady Bazza (our cat) is in is very clean and tidy, first class. The staff are very friendly and accommodating, will answer any questions you may have and will support you if you have any concerns about your pet/s coming to stay with them. We would give them a rating of 5 stars out of 5.
Quin is a relatively recent rescue and all indications are that he was a stray, so we had reservations about putting him in the cattery so early in his life with us. We need have had no fears. Quin came home looking as wonderful as a tubby tabby can look. The staff seemed to love him and I received very positive vibes when I rang to check how he was faring. Quin will definitely be holidaying with you again!
Very happy with the service, very friendly and helpful. Nelson sounded like he enjoyed his stay and almost seemed disappointed he had to go home. I had a payment issue which was rectified very quickly by owner . Thank you team at Brisbane boarding
Brisbane Boarding Kennels are amazing! I have a highly anxious dog who has trouble eating away from home and the staff always look after him! We can rest assured knowing he will be happy, well fed and cared for when we go away.
