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.

Hilary was a fantastic pet sitter for our cat - you would be so lucky to have her care for your pet and home. She took exceptional care of her and our home. Hilary played so much with her and took the best care. She was communicative, easy to coordinate with, and left everything super clean for us when we came back. Five stars is understating how extraordinary she was - we cannot recommend her enough!!
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!
We were very lucky to have had Nia for our recent house sit. She communicated well before the sit and arrived as planned. We shared a meal before we left which gave us time to get to know her and tell her about the house and our pets. After we left it soon became clear the cats loved Nia and the attention she gave them. We were kept informed throughout her stay with regular updates and video clips of what they were up to and how the garden was growing etc. We highly recommend Nia as a pet/house sitter and we would certainly have her back should the opportunity arise. Thanks again Nia
. We were absolutely delighted with the care Summer provided for our cats. Without a doubt, she is the best cat sitter we have ever had the pleasure of working with. Her attentiveness and genuine affection for our cats were evident in every interaction. Throughout our holidays, she kept us constantly updated with daily pictures and detailed updates, which gave us immense peace of mind. Additionally, she maintained our house in immaculate condition, keeping everything clean and tidy. This level of consideration and dedication went above and beyond our expectations, and we deeply appreciated her efforts. Summer’s exceptional service made our holiday experience truly worry-free and enjoyable.
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!
Great pet sitter - took perfect care of our cat and our home. They were super communicate leading up to and during the sit and left our apartment in great shape. I'd absolutely recommend them to any future sitters!
Becca was fantastic - we cannot say enough about how great she is as a pet and house sitter and as a human being! Becca committed to the sit 8 months in advance and was great with her responsiveness in communication during the long lead up to the sit. She arrived early and got the low downs on the animals and house stuff prior to us leaving. She woke up crazy early to help us get to the airport and picked us up when we returned, which made the traveling so much easier on our end. She left the house spot-less (and this is no exaggeration), with the linens cleaned, and a wonderful meal waiting for us upon our return. She is an absolute gem of a person with a great sense of humor and a kind and compassionate nature, and she really enjoys the animals in her care. Our dog and cat were very well cared for and totally at ease upon our return. If you are lucky enough to have Becca sit for you, you will be very pleased at how well she does the job!
Sabre is a sweet, honest person who stepped up at the very last moment (after the prior sitter flaked out) to watch our dog and cat for 17 days. When there were a couple minor accidents, she informed us of them right away. One involved a burnt pan (easy to do if you’re not familiar with an induction stovetop) which she offered to replace. Sabre also washed the towels and sheets, and made up the bed before we got home. The yard was pooper scooped and litter box was clean. Pets seemed well-cared for. When she had to leave town for several hours one day, she made sure to arrange for our neighbor take care of the pets. Additionally, I appreciated how she didn’t assume that it would be ok to bring her cat. When we found out she was going to keep her cat in a kennel during her stay here, we told her she could bring him which worked out fine. Overall, I would confidently recommend Sabre to watch your pets and house.
We were so pleased to meet John and Trisha! We had them come in a day before we left and enjoyed a nice meal with them and they got to meet Delilah (even if she didn’t seem interested) but she soon warmed up to them - except for the Cat Videos - she wasn’t very interested 🤣 When we returned our home was so clean (probably cleaner than we left it)! We got frequent pics and updates on our Princess! They also left us with a Progress Report with Delilah’s activities and what they did at the house before they left. We would highly recommend John & Trisha if you are lucky enough to have them apply for a House Sitters job! Bill, Kathy & Delilah 🐈⬛❤️
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 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!
Great communication and great service. We booked grooming appointment for my two sheebs. Adrian took the time to walk them and get familiar with them so as to make bathing easier. Shout out to Adrian and Martin for taking such good care of our pups! Would recommend and will come back!
Couldn't be happier with MDN Pet Care! They were amazing with our two Groodles. We loved getting regular updates and seeing all the fun they were having in the photos. It's clear these guys are true dog lovers, and we felt completely at ease leaving our pups in their care. We've already booked them again - highly recommend!
I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! MDN pet care were attentive, kind, and completely understood my dog’s introverted personality. At nearly 12 years old, my pup needs a little extra patience and care, and they provided both effortlessly. The updates were thoughtful and frequent—I always knew my dog was in good hands. From gentle walks to respecting my pup’s need for quiet downtime, they truly went above and beyond. I came home to a happy, relaxed dog, which speaks volumes about the quality of care they provided. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate sitter.
Martin & Adrian are the best! So caring and attentive to my little 5 month old puppy! Will recommend and definitely be a repeat client! :) Loved the regular updates and hearing about her day when I picked her up after work!
Adrian and Martin are so lovely and welcoming! 😊 My puppy absolutely loves getting groomed there. The team are perfectionists and take their time ensuring your puppy finds it a positive experience. 🐶 They also send you cute pictures as they go with updates can’t recommend enough! 😊 …
As co-parents, we never thought we would have to leave both our babies for three weeks, and there is no one who came to mind but MDN. Adrian has been more than a foster parent to Gogo and Momo. In these last three weeks, we have seen both babies get so comfortable and loving in the company of Adrian, almost so that they are going to miss him badly. Thank you so much for such personalized care of my cats like they are your own. Thank you for sharing continuous updates and sharing their snippets every day. You not only give us reassurance but also make us believe that our babies are in the best hands in Melbourne.❤️
We left our baby Cookie with MDN Pet Care for 43 days! This was the second time we were using MDN team’s services and we’re just as happy with the results as we were the first time. Throughout the course Adrian gave us regular updates and was prompt with his replies. He took amazing care of Cookie. She adjusted well with the other pets there and was in a great condition when we brought her home again. I would 100% recommend MDN Pet Care to anyone looking for a safe home for their fur babies!
I hired Martin and Adrian from MDN Pet Care to look after my pets from my house while I travelled overseas. They did an amazing job following our given instructions and send lots of updates. We came home and I can tell my pets had really built a bond with them. And my house was also safe and sound. If you’re looking for a pet sitter who is reliable to pet sit your pets at your house I would recommend MDN Pet Care. I will also be using their grooming services too!
MDN pet care is a great service for looking after your dogs. I’ve been away 2 weeks for holiday and my pet has been looked after so well by Adrian, he’s so nice & sweet! he updated me photos about my dog every day and my pet seemed to be happy being with him. Additionally, the price is so reasonable! I would recommend this service to any dog lovers 👍🏻👌
Adrian and Martin took great care of Billy. He was really happy to spend time in their care, and it was a huge help for us! Will return.
Veeru was wonderful taking time to allow my little anxious dog to relax and get comfortable prior to the clean. The results were amazing. We will now take our other dog for a teeth clean and will return for ongoing maintenance. So much better for our dogs (and wallet) than going to the vet.
Reggie, our mini groodle, had his teeth cleaned by Veeru. I was so impressed with the result and particularly, by avoiding an anaesthetic. When I picked him up afterwards he was a very happy boy and giving Veeru lots of kisses. This showed me he was not traumatised at all. I would highly recommend this procedure as the risks are greatly reduced, and the results are amazing. Reggie’s teeth are now dazzling!
Veeru took exceptional care of our two spoodles over a recent long weekend. Our boys had such a great time , we think they missed her on returning home !! Veeru sent photos across the weekend and showed great care and affection for our dogs and others who were staying with her . We highly recommend her services. Thank you Veeru and family !!
I couldn't recommend Veeru more highly! She looked after my Jack Russell Peggy for a long weekend and I don't think Peggy wanted to come back home! Veeru also cleaned Peggy's teeth anaesthetic free, and the result is excellent. Thanks Veeru - you're our new go-to for doggy minding and dental care :)
I would recommend Veeru for the care of your dogs. We had our dog's teeth cleaned and are happy with the result, anaesthetic free. The after care and tips she gave was very helpful too.
I’ve entrusted Veeru to look after my beloved dogs many times. She is caring, professional and has wonderful dog-handling skills. I will be using her for future dog-dental cleaning too. Highly and confidently recommended for walks, doggy-day-care and pet-sitting.
Veeru took great care of our pup whilst we went away for a long weekend. We also taken advantage of her pet dental services recently in which she did a superb job Thank you Veeru
I wa a little apprehensive as first time teeth clean for my 2 year old border collie. Veeru was absolutely wonderful, very caring & did a fantastic job with his teeth. Would highly recommend.
Veeru and her family did a fantastic job looking after our dog Albert! They went on so many walks, and was beautifully washed when we collected him. The photos were wonderful while we were away. Veeru's house is a pet paradise! Thank you!!
Veeru was really good with our two dogs while we went away. They were well looked after and we were well informed while we were away. We highly recommend Sandy Paws (Veeru)
Thank you so much for having our boy Sunny. We couldn't have had a better experience with Jules, Sunny seemed like he was right at home. He clearly was super comfortable, as he has settled back into our home perfectly and calmly! We will absolutely be back with Jules, thanks again for such a beautiful service you offer!
We love Woofers playgroup and especially the handler Shaun. Sully is a rescue pup and were new dog owners, so we are incredibly grateful to him for sharing all his knowledge with us, as well as for giving us helpful feedback and insights into how Sully is around other dogs. They are reliable, professional and experts we can trust.
Judging by my dog’s reaction every time we go there woofers is a win. We have been doing puppy day care one day a week for a year and have also recommended friends for training and walks - we can’t fault them. Thanks woofers team.
Woofers world has some tremendous staff. The groomers treated my pooch like a princess, with a very gentle nail trim, thank you! Staff at the counter were super friendly too. Highly recommend them.
Maggie ( Australian Cobber Dog) and I have been clients since the beginning and we absolutely love Woofers . Have used their Grooming, Day Care and Sleepovers and they are absolutely superb. Thank you Team Woofers, we love you
Our boy was rescued by the RSPCA but came with lots of issues to go with lots of love. The team at Woofer's World have been amazing. So much care and love when training and providing a walking service that has allowed us to go away when a Boarding Kennel was out of the question. Can not praise them highly enough
Great experience with Woofers World. Referred by East Bentleigh Vet Clinic, for some impacted anal glands and the groomer did a terrific job. She was gentle and kind, along with all the staff at Woofers. Thanks for all your help, we will be back ☺️
Woofers are awesome - I can't recommend the dog walking service and sleepovers high enough 👍👍 …
Woofers looked after our dogs for a few hours recently while we were delayed at a meeting. We cannot recommend their service more highly! The handler conducted themselves very professionally, was confident interacting with the dogs and was very caring! We would not hesitate to use Woofers' services again.
I desperately needed to get my dogs nails cut as the place I usually go had stopped offering the service. Unfortunately my dog is very anxious and reactive (small dog syndrome!) and can be really difficult to handle. The staff at Woofers World were amazing, they were so considerate, they looked after both of us and were so kind. They weren’t phased at all by his reactive behavior and got the job done. I don’t know what I would have done without them, thank you!!
Caring, good knowledge of pets, responsible and affordable. Highly recommended.
My worried whippet Albie has been attending Bayside Dog Lounge for almost 2 years now. We have seen it change hands and have loved both old owner Mark and now new owners from Woofers World. Initially I was worried what change may bring but we have been so happy with the level of care Albie has continued to receive and love the changes they have made to the place. Hand overs are always personalized and Albie (who has separation anxiety) cant wait to join his mates every time we go ( I don't get a second look back). Josh and Ashlie, who we see the most, have been just the loveliest humans and there is a lot of thought put into special days such as holidays and dress ups for Halloween. It is very cute. Loving the glimpses of their day on instagram as well. We love BDL and Albie definitely sees it as a safe second home. Thanks everyone :)
My partner and I can’t speak more highly of the staff and experience that our beautiful puppy gets at Bayside Dog lounge. She suffers with separation anxiety and was previously going to a different daycare centre nearby however it just didn’t seem like the right fit. As soon as we walked into Bayside Dog lounge, she was so happy to be there and now gets so excited and runs inside when she gets dropped off (which is a very different experience then the previous place we had at). A big thank you especially to Ash and Josh who have been absolutely fantastic in helping Alaska transition into the daycare. It’s taken a really big weight off my partner and I shoulder knowing that she is getting all of the love and attention her little heart desires at this daycare facility when we’re at work. We’ve also noticed a lot of improvement in her behaviour and training since she has been going here. Can’t recommend this facility enough!
Mark is an outstanding doggie babysitter, dog trainer and behaviourist. He's been looking after our 3 boys since 2013 and still does despite us moving all the way to Frankston! I'm an overly anxious doggie mummy with separation anxiety and I know I can leave my kids with him and go away with peace of mind! Trust me, I have looked into the very best kennels but I worry because one of our kids is a poo eater and at least I know Mark and his team are with the kids 24/7. It would of course be our labrador husky Boomboom who was very destructive when we first adopted him! Mark helped us considerably to get him settled with day outings and routine. More importantly, he taught us how to slowly integrate him in with other dogs because he is not fond of socialising with dogs! and still isn't, but at least we know now how to do it when the occasion rises. We inadvertently also adopted a husky whilst fostering him, and Momo has also been a flower slow to bloom, but by golly he is now so much more confident with humans with Mark's experience with the breed and how to manage nervous dogs. We're very thankful to have Mark and our boys are in the best hands with his knowledge and experience.
Best doggy day care in the south east. My beagle absolutely loves his time here and is always happy to go in when I drop him off. The staff are amazing and I always know Bernie is in good hands 😍❤️ …
Best dog daycare ever. The staff are friendly and amazing. My Melo just loves it there and they love her. Highly Recommend.
Our boy has been going with Mark for about 7 years and I couldn’t recommend him highly enough. Mark and his team are just brilliant and have him mixing with dogs there that he’s usually anxious around. He leaves happy and comes home happy every single time. We use Mark weekly, as well as whenever we travel. I have complete and utter trust in how Mark and his team manage my dog, and in their understanding and control of the different dogs and how they interact while in their care. Thanks Mark!
Great staff, they take great care of my dog, she's always excited to get there and exhausted when I pick her up. Highly recommend!
Our puppy has visited Mark twice a week since she was 2 months old. Mark and his team were very aware of her needs as a puppy and her integration into the main group. She’s really happy to see Mark and the team on arrival and just loves hanging out with the pack! The team did a great job of looking after her while we were on holidays too. I highly recommend Mark to anyone who is looking for an honest and reliable team to look after their pooch.
Neo has been attending Bayside Dog Lounge since COVID lockdowns were lifted around Oct 2020. We had tried so many different places but each time, he'd come home really anxious. Neo absolutely loves Mark and the team! He's happy to get dropped off & comes home a very happy boy. Mark took us on as clients even though his clientele list was full, explaining he only books X amount of dogs a day so that each pooch gets the attention & care they deserve. During a personal tough time, Mark was extremely understanding & offered to help out. Words cannot express how fantastic Mark & his team are 🙏❤️
Mark and his team are the best in the business. Always going above and beyond to make sure all the dogs are enjoying their stay. I have trusted Mark with my dogs for 12 years and I don't trust very many people to look after them but I can relax when they are at Bayside dog lounge knowing that they are in professional and caring hands.
St Roch have been a gem of a find. Since moving to the bayside area, i was nervous to find a dog walking company i trusted with my precious pooch who has several special health needs. Fiona and Sarah have been warm and genuinely love the animals they walk. I know when I'm at work, my dog is on an exciting adventure and being looked over with the most careful eye. They are attentive to his needs and communicate well regarding any observations or concerns. I know my pooch is genuinely safe and happy when he is with St Roch. We love their products too - especially the healthy dried chicken breast, and the cute apparel such as the bandannas and ties.
Cannot thank enough the St Roch team who have brought such joy to Billie and Teddy. They love their walks with you and new found buddies. St Roch have a genuine understanding of matching the right dogs and personalities for a fun group walk. Am in awe with all that you do.
St. Roch have been great for my dog . . . he loves the regular group walks with his canine mates and also his overnight stays. The team there treat him as one of their own and are also great to have on hand for general dog advice. Highly recommended.
St Roch have been fantastic for our puppy Luna. We are first time dog owners and work full time, and we were looking for someone who understood that - Fiona and Sarah have absolutely delivered. Luna gets taken on walks every weekday, and with other dogs so she gets plenty of socialising time. It's also obvious how much they care about their dogs - little things like checking the water bowl, turning the aircon on on hot days, and even birthday wishes. Highly recommend!
Dog walking done right! What can I say if you need a dog walker in Elwood Vic then this is your service.
Professional, caring, and excellent at what they do. Couldn't be more impressed. Thanks team.
Winter our GR, has been going there since February thanks to the puppy creche! The staff are great and are always so happy to see Winter. She's 7 months now and loves seeing her friends. They post lots of photos on FB which is great, so you can see your doggo having lots of fun!
Couldn’t recommend more, my pugalier isn’t the most easiest to get her nails clipped. However, the staff is always super accommodating and warm and bubbly, which makes me feel more at ease when I take her and not like she will burden them. She gets a little play with the other dogs and always loves going. I appreciate the staff being accommodating and I trust their opinion. it’s super easy to book an appointment during the week of and very reasonably priced. I was looking for a long time for a groomer and now, even if I move, I would be comfortable driving to get her nails clipped by unleashed. She definitely gets a lot out of her visit. Hopefully someday they can do overnight stays!
Sven has the best time at Unleashed. As soon as he figures out that he is going there, he goes absolutely crazy. All of the staff members are so friendly and I really feel like he is in wonderful hands.
This old boy doesn't do mornings well but once he's there he wants out of the geriatric area to hang out with the youngsters and keep an eye on them. When I pick him up he comes bounding out the feeling happy... And falls asleep in the car on the way home. He's well looked after and it has done him the world of good.
I brought my little pup for grooming the other day. Jasmine, the young and lovely groomer did a fantastic job with my little Kloppy! He smelled divine and looked oh so fresh afterwards! He’s been getting lots of compliments since his grooming! The ladies there are very lovely too. I dealt with Andrea on the phone and booking my pup in for a groom was a smooth process. Dianne, the other lady there was lovely to deal with as well. I was running 15 mins late to pick up my pup and they were very understanding and accommodating. I will definitely be bringing my pup back there for his grooming. 🐶🩵 Ameena & Kloppy!
The staff here are great! They seem to really supervise the dogs and understand what they need. My pup loves it here. Strongly recommend.
What a fantastic doggy training facility. Fantastic Staff who can train and look after your furry pal🐕🐕🐕 …
I am somewhat disappointed in my dealings with Unleashed Doggie Daycare on the following; There is no scope to view inside the daycare as we were advised it would disrupt the dogs. Whilst I genuinely appreciated this, I couldn’t help but feel disappointed to say the least that there wasn’t live cctv footage as an option plastered up on check in. Whilst they upload pics and videos this doesn’t provide full scope of them being viewed throughout the day, therefore I deemed this aspect as unacceptable. On the evening of the collection our dog displayed signs of sniffles, sneezing and making odd sounds we’ve never heard before. We assumed it may have been a mild allergy. Four days on our dog is still in the compromised position whereby facing lethargy and a reduced appetite. I will be visiting our vet today to get an understanding as to what it is going on with the symptoms being displayed. Our clothing and furniture has what appears to be phlegm like mucous over it. Never in the span of his life has our dog had these symptoms (our vet can be contacted to verify this). Whilst this is the least of my concern, the website displayed a reduced rate of $90 which was not honoured. I was subsequently advised that the reason for that is that it hadn’t been updated (not the consumers issue) the least I would do as a business owner would be to honour the advertised rate based on good will rather than charge a “special rate” which was significantly higher. On the brighter side, a polite dedicated business woman who was friendly and went the extra mile of providing a paw print portrait of our dogs paws was most appreciated. I believe I would reconsider this venue if there was more transparency provided to its customers for their loved fur babies. Concerned,
Have taken our Labrador here a few times and the staff have always been friendly and accomodating. They gave us an adorable paw print painting on her first day and we love seeing all the photos on their social media. Would highly recommend.
I couldn’t recommend this doggy day care more highly. The staff are all super lovely and warm. They also post lots of pictures on their Facebook page throughout the day so you can see all the fun your dog is having. Nutmeg is always very happy when she learns she’s going to see her friends at day care 😊 …
I have been a regular house & pet sitter using the Happy House Sitters site for quite a few years. The service works well for connecting you and those needing a sitter. I have matched up with several people needing someone to care for their home and pets. No complaints with the service. I have been experiencing major tech problems with my account for a few months now. I have been regularly leaving messages regarding what problems were happening, which even included knowing that a message was sent to my HHS inbox, but the message was missing from the inbox, so I could not communicate with whoever was trying to contact me. This meant both the owner and myself missed the chance to organise a potential sit. I don't have a problem with these tech problems happening, that's life, but what has been frustrating for me is the poor communication regarding the issues. Initially HHS staff communicated, sometimes, about the problems, now they simply ignore my messages with the knowledge that my account is faulty. There has been zero communication from them regarding 2 recent update messages where I was explaining the continuing issues. All the account issues remain unresolved to this day. I'd love to leave a positive review, I even let them know I needed a more "on board" communication style if they wanted a good review (which they had asked for), and this particular message was ignored. In summary, the site should work fine for both sitters and owners finding a way to connect. Unfortunately, as far as any tech issues, or efficient customer service goes, I cannot offer any positive comments.
I've been using Happy Housesitters for some months now and I had the best experience! It's easy to navigate and connect with potential house-sitting jobs and communicating easily with home owners. Also, you can save your favourite selections and go back to them, shortlist them and archive and other features to manage your account and lists. Highly recommended. Thanks!
Gina and Jim took such wonderful care of my dog and house for a month recently. I would give them 6 stars if I could. I came home to a happy dog and an immaculate house, outdoor area and pool. They kept in touch while I was away and it was so wonderful to come home and relax. They were so helpful and thoughtful when we got in late making sure they stayed the extra time so the dog would be fed and not alone. They had also left me some food so I wouldn’t have to go out immediately for groceries. I felt very confident leaving Gina and Jim in my home and was just so impressed when I got home. I hope I can be lucky enough to book them again for my next trip.
Our experience has been excellent! We lived in a beautiful home for nearly 3 weeks and had the added bonus of 2 dogs, 2 cats and 2 fish. The home had a pool, wonderful outdoor facilities, in for theatre room and room for our caravan and we were able to bring our own dog to play with the little boys! The home owners had a great trip away together with the knowledge that we were caring for their home and loved ones. Thank you "Happy House Sitters". 🐕🐕🐕🐺🐺🐠🐠
Would give no stars if possible. Had issues from the onset and tried to be nice about it all at the beginning but then they started blaming me for their clunky website and password issues. Told me that they would provide a refund if it was due to their admin and when it was determined that it was their issue they turned it around and said it was my fault and that the issues was fixed quickly and so would not provide a refund. Obviously greedy and dishonest. My fault for not reading the reviews before signing up! Don't waste your time or money. There are other house sitting sites out there, so definitely use them and not this one. Definitely not Happy House Sitters! Had some weird message in the middle of it all saying I had been recommended by someone...seems strange when I had never even used them before. Update on their response. I did put in a dispute with PayPal to try and recover the fee, but was told by PayPal that they can only help with the actual payment process aspect and that there was no problem with the payment (which is true). Was told by PayPal to take other avenues to recover and dispute but decided not to due to the hassle and time involved, which is what a lot of businesses count on. So just beware and make sure you do your due diligence before purchasing anything and always read reviews. Also it wasn't a user error, it was a website error. There are a number of reviews about how clunky their website is. I did nothing wrong contrary to what they are saying.
One could not ask for more in house and pet sitters than Erin and Dave. They are a really great couple and Erin gave us regular Pooch Updates which made our trip so much more enjoyable. They left our house in immaculate condition and our dogs were healthy and happy upon our return. My only hope is that they are available for our next holiday !
We had an awesome house sitter minding our animals Milly Bella and Buddy. Our animals were cared for exceptionally well. Our home was also cared for. If you want a great house sitter Sue is the one. Her attention to detail of our home care was great.
I am a pet sitter and have been using Happy House Sitters for the last 5 years to fill gaps in the inner suburbs of Melbourne between my regular clients. It is easy to use and I am able to be just as selective as the pet owners so that finding the best fit is mutual. I would highly recommend it.
We had Vordon Brown and his lovely wife look after our 2 dogs for 11 days, I am so thankful to have them look after the dogs and the house, down to earth people with 2 small doges of their own. This is the first time we have ever used this site, and getting such nice people made us relax while away. On return the house was spotless the dogs were happy, Prior to meeting the couple you think do you lock this up hide this but once meeting them there was no worries at all extremely honest people. Would recommend them to anyone in fact you would be lucky to get them to look after your house and pets.
I really enjoyed meeting Lauren and her dogs rhett &darcy . Darcy is old and likes to rest with pats . Rhett is higg energy both dogs have good natures the house.was tidy i have been lucky enough to hoyse sit for lauren a few times i. I would reccomend laurens housesit highly Annie
The first thing I did when I bought my cavoodle was to register her with Dogue Brighton. We have regular appointments booked well in advance for grooming. The daycare is so much fun and they do check temperaments before allowing a dog to join. It honestly is like a party for dogs out back!!! The other bonus is the quality of Australian made products from collars to food. We love stopping in here on our walk for a quick hug and maybe a treat. The team are extremely knowledgeable about dogs too so can help with advice on certain things (like my fussy eating puppy)! I highly recommend Dogue for grooming, daycare, food, quality products - anything dog related. *I am not affiliated in any way with Dogue, I just know how hard it is to find somewhere you have confidence in looking after you furry family member/s
DOGUE were absolutely amazing! Our groomer unexpectantly moved interstate and Reggie (mini groodle) desperately needed to be clipped after we had been overseas for a while. Tanya went above and beyond to get him in the next day and we were extremely pleased with his cut. When we picked Reggie up he was a relaxed and happy boy. I immediately booked him in for his next cut as I felt so confident in their skills and care for Reggie. Highly recommend!!
Amazing experience as a first time visit. Our small Border Collie was very nervous on arrival and the staff were friendly and helpful. Her nails were trimmed in no time. Will definitely be back.
Edited 2 years later to say that I am still so incredibly happy with Dogue Brighton. Kudos to all the beautiful staff (including Tanya, Marion, Megan, Julie and the team) there who look after Pearl so well. 10/10 always! Pearl was groomed yesterday, and she looks so beautiful. But most importantly, I’m so impressed that she loves going there. I can’t imagine going anywhere else. Recent photos attached. ** I can’t speak highly enough of Dogue Brighton, and I actively recommend Dogue to everyone I meet with a pup. My little Cavoodle, Pearl, just loves it there. She absolutely adores all the staff too. - The grooming is brilliant. Pearl always looks and smells beautiful, and she literally races in for grooming. - The doggy daycare is fabulous. We use it every week, and Pearl has a marvellous time. She comes home exhausted! - And the boutique is wonderful. So many useful and wonderful products for doggies. All the staff at Dogue are friendly and knowledgeable, and they’re always willing to go the extra mile. Fabulous! 10/10.
Just moved to the area. Took my little Maverick there to get his nails clipped. Great price! A retail/grooming place yet I felt sooooo at home. Customers in and out were gorgeous people and Tanya....... Words aren't enough! She was busy yet still accomodated Mav and I. She was truly all heart.. ... it dripped off her. Definitely my one and only go too now. Not sure if she is the owner or not but my goodness.... keep being you girl 🩷 If you haven't been there, get there
This is our favourite dog store to visit in Brighton! If you haven’t been you need to go in. Tanya and the staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. Frank always leaves here, looking stylish, and with a treat!
The very best dog groomer in Bayside. We took our shaggy Border Collie, Panda, for grooming today, our first time at Dogue. Panda looked amazing after his 'do. The staff are friendly, welcoming and caring and their dog grooming is impeccable - what a change from the other Bayside groomers we have used in the past. Prices are very reasonable and we will never consider using any other groomer again. We cannot recommend the team at Dogue highly enough!!!!
I recently visited Dogue Brighton and can not speak highly enough of the service I received. The staff were extremely helpful. My Groodle was groomed and the staff did a great job. They discussed with me the look and how short I wanted and discussed the matting and knots that I was concerned with (thanks to ongoing lockdown). Pearl really enjoyed the experience too! I also love the products to purchase and have some nice looking bowls and collars!
I have 2 cavoodles who have been to Dogue once before... at that time Dogue did a great job... however when I took my dogs last week it was a very different story... They basically started on one dog then called me at 1.45.... 3 hours after I had dropped my dogs off.... to say his ears and tail had too many knots so I would need to take them to a vet to be groomed... the groomer had done a pre shave which I understand is not a finished job then I think decided that it was too much work to do both dogs so called me to pick them up with the BS excuse that they needed a vet to groom them!!!.....The state they gave me my dog back was disgraceful they had basically shaved him but left tuffs of hair everywhere....... they didn't bother to even try with the other dog....I have since had both dogs groomed at another groomers who had no problem with knots.... isn't that what groomers do?? I don't know if Dogue has got a new groomer who is not very good or was just having an off day... I noticed a review previously where Dogue had cut a dog during grooming and the owner was threatening to sue them so maybe they are scared to do anything other than very basic either way a not a place to use
If there was an option to give them negative five stars, I would do it. We have been their loyal customers for over three years. However, it would take me all day to write all of our bad experiences since May 2020. Unprofessional and rude are just two key words for this "salon". One of my two little dogs was seriously injured twice and I had to take him to the veterinarian for treatment which cost me lots of money. I will take legal action for sure!
Our pup was perfectly pampered. He looks so cute and ready for summer with his haircut! Thank you! Highly skilled and animal loving groomers, would 100% recommend!
We had a very happy boy after his deshed and bath today! Very friendly staff and they did a great job. Would highly recommend!
I am so glad we found this dog groomers after the previous place we went to closed down. The service is friendly and professional, and they do a really good job at grooming our boy! We have been twice now and will continue coming here. I would 100% recommend Kloud9Pet 😊 …
Always amazing. So happy with Charlie’s haircut each time I’ve been here. And his teeth have come up sparkling!
My dog loved this place. He looks fantastic. Service is great! I definitely recommend for those who are very meticulous with their dogs cut, especially for a Spoodle.
Excellent service!! First time taking my cat here, will definitely come again , very friendly staff 💗 …
I’m so happy I found this place… they do a great job trimming my digs nails . Great Value. Very friendly staff - make you welcome.
I love how you guys love our fur babies as much as we do. You are the best!
So happy , thank you so much, she looks beautiful, I’ll be back
Kloud9pet did a brilliant job with Wally. I highly recommend.
Liz is wonderful! She has looked after my precious baby boy Ollie (ragdoll cat) when I have been away, giving him lots of cuddles and attention and sending me texts and photos to reassure me he is happy. She also goes the extra mile watering my plants, collecting mail and putting the bins out - fabulous service! I would highly recommend Liz and her team to anyone who needs loving pet caring.
Liz has been looking after our "girls" for over 10 years now. Liz loves animals and has pets of her own so she understands the special relationship owners have with their pets. The regular updates we get from Liz on how our girls are doing just confirms this. We know that our "girls" are safe and happy at home being well cared with Liz.
We've had Liz from Lonely Pets come to walk our elderly dog Poppy for over a year now, Liz is amazing, kind and patient with Poppy and Poppy loves her and looks forward to her visits. Great service and advice, and the service is run and staffed by people who really love pets, not just for money.
We have had carers from LPC (mainly Liz and Rudi) look after our cats for years. LPC are a professional outfit, but most importantly Liz and Rudi are kind, thoughtful and attentive to detail. They know our cats and take very good care. I love the photos they send us! I recommend them very highly.
The best care for our cat when we go away. Liz is so lovely and sends us updates and photos so we're reassured all is well.
Very happy with lonely pets club especially Liz!!! She is a treasure, extremely reliable and caring. We all love Liz especially our dog who waits at the door to see her!!!
Highly recommend Lonely Pets Club South Melbourne. Absolute care and love given to my fur babies. Reliable Trustworthy and above and beyond when spending time with my babies. My pets love them and so do I.
I was really unhappy was the lack of communication from the carer. I had to chase them a couple of times to even set up the initial meet and greet (which in hindsight should have been a warning sign). Then during the actual care period there were barely any updates, even after I requested that these be provided daily. The reason I chose this company is because they promise peace of mind, but this is something they actually failed to deliver. I forked out hundreds of dollars for a service that is poor quality and am dissatisfied with. I would not recommend this company.
I would not trust anyone but Liz with my little terrorists, they love her and I can tell that they are happy in the photos she sends❤️❤️
I can not thank you enough for looking after my fur babies. They mean the world to me. They warmed to you straight away with your caring and loving nature and are always so happy to see you. I trust you totally in my house and I can not recommend your services enough. 🐕🐱 …
