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?

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!
We have been taking our dogs here for over 20 years now and this is the best kennel! They have looked after our border collies previously Jemma our black and white who is now passed away and now Red our chocolate and white and they do an amazing job! They also helped Red with a really dry and bad nose and put some proper cream on every day to help him and he’s a lot better now thank you so much guys really appreciate it!!
I've heard mixed reviews about this kennel, both positive and negative. Despite this, I decided to reach out via email to learn more about their boarding process and to arrange a visit, as we are new to Melbourne and are searching for a reliable option near us. The response I received was rather cold, and the numerous questions seemed more suited for an in-person conversation. The final sentence of their reply was particularly off-putting: "Please note that we do not board pets who are aggressive towards strangers/us." I would like to say no dogs are aggressive; rather, they may be reactive and simply need some time and space to acclimate. My personal belief is that a kennel should be prepared to handle all types of dogs, but I do understand the importance of staff and facility safety. The fact that they preemptively categorized my dog as aggressive, based solely on my mention of needing some adjustment time, was disheartening. I chose not to respond to their email but wanted to share my experience here for those considering this kennel, especially newcomers. From my perspective, there seems to be a lack of empathy and genuine care for dogs.
I left my Labrador there for 10 nights. When I picked him up he was very well cared for. The staff were friendly and the price very good. Buddy has stayed in the past at some very flashy pet resorts but seemed just as well cared for. Will definitely use them again. Thank you.
We have used diamond kennels a few times but never again! We went overseas and therefore were gone for 5 1/2 weeks. When we dropped our Labrador off to the kennels we provided glucosamine to be administered daily. This was recommended by our vet after a previous health check showed a little bit of arthritis. On collecting our dog this morning we noted her limping badly and in obvious pain. The kennel person told us that she had been given pain killers and that we did leave her for 2 months (untrue)! This should not negate good care! On arrival home we checked the glucosamine medication and found it hardly used! Three issues here first, it shouldn’t matter how long you leave your animal at a kennel - good care should be paramount! Secondly if the owner asks for medications to be given then that expectation should be fulfilled! Thirdly we paid for care half of which was paid up front when you pay for something you expect to receive the service you pay for! Once again I will not leave my dog or cat at this kennel again or recommend it to any of my friends!
Our two dogs, Molly and Tully have just returned from a 2 week stay with the team at Diamond and we could not be happier with how well they were looked after. It can be a worrying time leaving your fur babies when on holidays but the guys here are just fantastic. This is our second time leaving them here and we would not hesitate in returning again. They truly are animal people. Highly recommend Diamond Kennels for both their service and pricing. Well done team and thank you for looking after our dogs.
You feel welcome when you walk in. Staff are friendly, prices are good. We have had our dog there 3 times. Would highly recommend.
I was very anxious on going away overseas but Mimmi was very well taken care of at Diamond Boarding Kennel. I can tell in her behaviour once we got home! She was a relaxed dog and seemed not to lack socialising! I will use this place again for my next annual leave ^_^. Thank you for looking after my furry baby :D.
Have been using this Kennel for a few years, staff are fantastic and always so friendly. Our dog is always excited to go back which says a lot about the care during his stay. Highly recommend
Left my 1 year old fussy cat here during our holidays. He was looked after so well. The booking process was easy and well explained. I got to tour the place prior to booking in. During my holiday I could call in to check in on him and he was happy and healthy on pick up. Would highly recommend.
My kitten had a short stay here recently and was well cared for by a number of young friendly staff.
The Pet Nanny has been walking Hank since he was a puppy and he's always loved the long walks he's had with Adam & co. The Pet Nanny has always been wonderfully reliable and happy to jump in to last minute requests as things shift in our days. Highly recommend them for your furry friends.
My family has relied on The Pet Nanny for several years to mind our pets when we've been fortunate enough to travel interstate or abroad. He provides a reliable service and ensures our treasured pets are happy and comfortable in our absence. Thanks Adam.
My dog Toby cavoodle is loving Adam the Pet Nanny! He is so excited to see him they have a really good connection. Adam relates wonderfully with my dog, calms him when anxious, and Toby can’t get enough of Adams cuddles. Adam is a genuine, responsible dog walker who relates well with animals. He is definitely worth giving him a go!
Pet Nanny is a life saver and Adam is wonderful. We can getaway without pet anxiety!
I highly recommend Adam. My two dogs love him! I work full time and Adam comes and walks them twice a week. It is a great comfort to me that they have him to break up their day. He is very trustworthy and is just smart with dogs. He understands them and their needs, and my needs as their mum.
Adam is not just a pet nanny, he is a house sitter, gardener, mail collector and all round legend. If you care about your pets and want them [and your house] to be cared for by someone who treats them as well as you do, The Pet Nanny is the right service for you.
Adam is 100% reliable and our two greyhounds love him. He treats each dog as an individual - even our quirky old boy! - and lets them enjoy their walks at their own pace. Also good with humans - scheduling and payment are easy. Great service at a very competitive price.
Adam and the rest of the Pet Nanny team are fantastic with our Border Collie Ivy. They are professional, friendly and we feel very comfortable leaving her with them when we are not at home. They take her for walks, plays with her and keep her company - needless to say she’s a big fan too and we would absolutely recommend 😊
We have had Adam walk our dog Nick for nearly seven years. He has always been reliable, Nick looks forward to his walks with Adam and Adam shows genuine affection towards Nick. We love his work and would always recommend him.
We have been issuing the Pet nanny’s services mostly daily 1 hour morning dog walks. Adam is the best dog walker/ sitter we have ever had. He is so knowledgeable, punctual and has the best rapport with our Kelpie Jett. Jett is so excited when he sees Adam at the door. Highly recommend The Pet nanny’s services.
We were worried about Prince doing daycare, as the last time he did at another place, he got super stressed and had to be picked up early. This place was incredible! We did the daycare/training. They said Prince did great and they used treats to reward him being calm. We'll be coming here for every boarding. We got a video and report card for Prince as well!
We booked our 3 year old Mini Dachshund in for a 3 week train and stay experience and I couldn’t recommend KIP more. He has some complex issues and behaviours but nothing felt like too much for any of the team to handle. We were assigned Megan as our trainer and she is greatly educated in how she trains both the dogs and us as the owners. We could really see she has a passion for her work and an immense care for our boys needs. He came home with more confidence and a much more relaxed demeanour and we now have the skills shown by Megan to carry on his training at home.
Our dogs, Leni and Bobbi, absolutely love their time at Kip! It gives us peace of mind knowing that while we're on holiday, our fur babies are not only safe and well cared for, but they’re also enjoying a little getaway of their own.
Recently had our senior 9 year old Samoyed Meeko at Kips for 2 and a half weeks with trainer Megan. We were provided almost daily updates of her progress as well as a comprehensive handover after picking her up. Her behaviour has improved dramatically and Megan has steered us in the right direction. The training is worth every penny and I highly encourage anyone give it a go if your furry one isn’t the most obedient.
I sent my seventeen month Golden Retriever to Kip as he was reacting to other dogs and pulling on leash. I have noticed a big change when i picked him up. The trainers are fantastic, they send videos and photos every day, and give a lesson when you pick them up. I highly recommend Kip. Special thanks to Alex.
I can not fault Kip south east from the enquiry process to the handover. I was skeptical to put my 14 month old German Shepherd in for a long stay. After the inquiry process, the head trainer contacted me for a lengthy conversation to suggest the best program based around my needs and expectations. We committed to the three weeks Board and train and The process has exceeded my expectations. As a first time puppy owner of a large breeder, especially, I probably needed more training than my dog. Through this service kip covers all bases to ensure success. Shout out to all the team working so hard. Thank you.
Our 11 month old German Shepherd absolutely loves attending the Daycare & Train. The staff are all wonderful and welcoming . He has thrived on the training, as he is very energetic it's been a godsend to discover this place. Highly recommend!
I have had my boys stay in Kip Melbourne South East a couple of time in the last 4 months and cannot fault their service. I receive daily updates with photos and videos of them playing with the carers and other dogs and they always look like they are having a blast. They are always so happy to go back again that they pull me through the door. It’s very reassuring to know that they are being well taken care of when I am away.
We had both our dogs stay here whilst we were on holidays for three weeks and they both had a great time. One dog was in for boarding, and our energetic Border Collie for board and train. Megan was AMAZING with her and they formed such an amazing bond. The daily updates were so great and made us feel comfortable they were happy and not missing us too much. And their follow up with the training has been so helpful and appreciated. Both came home happy, healthy and well cared for. Thank you team!
This was our first time using Kip Kennels, and wow, what an amazing experience! Our dogs usually experience kennel stress for at least three days after returning from other kennels, but not this time. Kip Kennels provided daily photos and playtime, which were absolute winners. We couldn't be happier with the care and attention our dogs received. Highly recommend!
Arche stayed at Wellington Park for over month, and after all this time he was in perfect condition and very happy. Staff at Wellington Park is very friendly, helpful and professional. I would recommend Wellington Park to anyone for short or long stay.
Charlie, our rescue dog, has been with us for just over 2 years. He is a very anxious and impulsive dog and needs to be on daily medication so he can be his real happy self. We were very concerned about leaving him at a kennels and Wellington Park Kennels have shown great care and sensitivity with him. They suggested that we leave him for a few single nights at first, which worked well. He has since stayed with them a few more times for longer periods. He is always very happy to go with the staff and well and happy to see us at the other end. They have been very caring.
Dreadful customer service and poor people skills. Demand respect and offer none and as soon as you start asking questions they blow a fuse. Stay away from these guys....that's free advice
Our dog Shadow loves staying at Wellington Park. He walks away from us without looking back and is always clean and happy when we return. The staff are so caring and can never do enough for us. During his last stay he required daily medicine and the staff took this on without any concerns. We drive over half an hour to come to Wellington Park, but it’s certainly worth it!
I've been using Wellington Park's services for many years. My first dog went there all his life, and now my current dog is a frequent visitor. He's always so excited to see the lovely staff and literally bounds out of the car when we arrive! It's such a comfort for me to know that he's being well cared for, and I think it's like a holiday for him! I happily recommend Wellington Park to other dog owners I meet. Thank you Wellington Park for your care and kindness!
Our active Aussie Shepherd loves her time at Wellington Park! The staff are very nice and caring. (Only took one star off, as we’ve never been invited to see where the actual kennels! Assuming it is ok!)
Whenever we have gone on holidays over the past 7 years, Wellington Park have cared for my dog. The staff genuinely care for and show love to my dog. My dog is always happy to go into their care, tail always wagging and when we pick her up she is always happy and in the best of health. My dog is a very much loved family member and Wellington Park have my utmost trust in looking after her.
Absolutely thrilled with the care my dog received! From the moment I dropped him off until I picked him up, I felt confident he was in great hands. The staff were friendly, professional, and clearly passionate about animals. Will definitely be using their services again in the future
Archie is always excited to stay at Wellington Park Kennels. As soon as he is taken from me he never looks back, so I know he enjoys it there. He is always clean and happy when I pick him up!
Marlow loves his holidays at Wellington Park Kennels. When we arrive in the car park, he gets very excited and can’t wait to get in there! We know Marlow is well looked after and having fun, so we can relax and enjoy our holiday.
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!!
Kaz had helped me with my dog for a day & I know Kimi is in good hands! She doesn't take on just anyone- as she will first assess if the dog is compatible & safe around the other dogs she cares for. I personally believe this is very important! I've seen her work in our area & she is very protective & responsible of the dogs she cares for- but also gives sound correction when needed e.g when dog under care tries to jump on someone or another dog. All in all, your dogs will definitely have a fun time when out with Kaz & cared for very diligently!
I really appreciate the care given. A person who is fully focused on those under her care. She has a good presence that attracts all the lovely furry friends to her. Thank you.
It was really a great experience, excellent communication, and very nice person to deal with Thanks for taking such a good care of thunder
Have someone who really cares about your dog care for them
Amazing, they have de best bullies in the city. Thank you very much guys, I will be back soon for sure!!

I can't thank Alpha doggy playcare enough! I have a 7 year old jack russell x (rescue dog) and after many rejections from other doggy daycares without even meeting him, due to his behaviour (overstimuation, anxiety) i felt at a loss, i was incredibly nervous bringing him in, and even called to check in both times and the staff have been so wonderful and made me feel very comfortable. After his second session hes started socialising and they even posted a beautiful video of him, that meant the absolute world to us, thank you for taking such great care of my boy Ollie, truly professional and such kind and caring staff! I would 100% recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Used Alpha Doggy Daycare a number of years ago and have recently returned due to a new puppy in the family. Can't fault their services, care and attention to detail. Not to mention the peace of mind it brings knowing that our pup is so well cared for during the day. Thank you.
Our mischievous Golden loves her days at Alpha. She loves each one of the staff there and comes back tired - quite an achievement with her! We love the daily photo dumps on social media, and always click through to see what she's been up to that day
The staff weren’t friendly or welcoming in the few months we were there. Never made the effort to communicate or chat with us. Was also extremely disappointed by the lack of care they showed our dogs. Definitely felt like it was purely business not love.
They almost never answer my calls and they almost never call me when I scheduled a callback.
please answer my calls and emails 🙏 …
