Dog Sitters in Point Cook

We have been using Divine Canine Training for the past few months since purchasing our Border Collie puppy and we could not be happier. Divina is supportive and makes you feel comfortable and we are very happy with the progress we are seeing using her training techniques. I highly recommend her for anyone who is looking for a dog trainer, dog sitter or dog walker. Thank you Divina for everything and I look forward to many more years of training to come.

Despite having attended 3 lots of puppy pre school courses throughout the first 7 months of his life (and other socialisation opportunities), our dog still had the tendency to react & bark at people and dogs while out for walks. We initially opted for the private 1:1 park sessions with Divina as we wanted to be able to train in an area with potential distractions. Within the first session Divina was able to teach me how to utilise a slip lead effectively to implement loose lead walking, and also how to navigate Cricket’s reactivity. We also continued training through the Fundamentals Group sessions which further tested Cricket’s ability to focus in a different environment. Although his training is always a work in progress, he has made a significant positive change since starting training with Divina earlier this year. We are extremely grateful for Divina’s patience and knowledge, and we look forward to continuing training with her.

Divina has been super accessible, very generous with her time and knowledge since our first interaction. We started our journey with private outside sessions where we learned about slip collars and began to focus on loose walking. Since then we added structured walks, our boy gets to see Divina a few times a week and boy he loves it. Trust me, you are also going to get homework so be ready 🐾🐾 Adding group sessions to help socialise Archie in a controlled environment will help to ensure he feels more comfortable around other dogs and doesn't react to them. I would recommend Divina to anyone looking to learn how to improve their relationship with their pet because that's the foundation, building trust and engagement so they can thrive whilst learning and having fun being dogs! Divina provides updates, photos and videos so you will sure to see their progress. We are really thankful for Divina's help.

I have known Divina for years now, despite living in separate states, running my own dog training, I still refer her for zoom lessons and trick coaching. She is a genuinely great person and talented trainer. You won’t be disappointed choosing her to train, coach and care for your dog!

Our cocker spaniel Rosie sees Divina for regular structured walks. Knowing her since puppy school, Rosie absolutely adores Divina! Divina is extremely knowledgeable, builds an amazing bond, and is able to tailor her methods to bring out the best in all dogs. Oh, and it's important to mention that it's not just all about the walks! The insight we get chatting to Divina before and after sessions is super helpful for us to improve as dog owners. Divina has been able to help us train our fearful determined wild-child into a happy, confident, and well-mannered pup. Of course, it's always a work in progress, but we continue to trust Divina and absolutely recommend you do as well!

Whilst we did lots of research prior to introducing a dog into our lives, the reality of having a suburban border collie who fell into reactivity, resource guarding, leash pulling became overwhelming and the videos, books and online resources were not bespoke enough for us to implement ourselves. With the help of Divina we were given tools and scripts on how to manage the less desirable behaviours our dog was exercising and the difference was instant! Divina is incredibly dedicated to her art and the benefit of having the 1:1 in and around your environment made it much easier for us to contextualise the information she has given us. We wish we were closer to sign up for walk and train but will continue to work with Divina overtime as our family, needs and dynamics evolve. Thanking you always Divina!

I engaged Divina towards the end of 2023 for her exposure outing service (Day out with Divina.) Its a service that gives your dog time some time out in public with the added bonus of being handled by a dog trainer. Being an existing client is not a prerequisite which is great. A small fee was paid so that Divina could travel outside her service area to pick my dog up as I was unable to leave the house that day. When she arrived there was a brief introduction and exchange of key information. Divina brought my dog to our local centre for about an hour. She shared many updates via Instagram and it felt as though I was right there with them. Although it was not the first time my dog visited the local centre, it was a pleasure to see how well he was going amongst a 'busier than usual' environment. When my dog got home, he K.O-ed and Divina and I had a quick debrief. She took her time to answer the questions I had. We are slowly working towards calm and neutrality as my dog is sensitive to stimuli and gets excited easliy especially when he sees other dogs, so his outing with Divina was beneficial for us. I'd be happy to recommend this service to owners of reactive and excited dogs or those who just want to work on socialisation and training amongst distraction.

Divina is an absolutely fantastic trainer. She has helped us in so many ways other trainers could not. Cleo absolutely loves her too and cannot contain her excitement when she gets to see her!

Amazing training sessions and guidance from Divina. She is so knowledgeable and passionate about her work. Our boy Obi was almost impossible to walk due to his strength and reactivity. After just a few sessions and learning new techniques, we saw a very big improvement in his behaviour while on walks. She has a beautiful bond with all of her doggy clients and treats them all with love and care

Divina is absolutely wonderful - not only has she been able to help me during training sessions, but she also provides training that really works via online consultations! Divina is so sensible and practical when supporting dog owners, and has given us so many strategies to use with our working breed dog. Divina has expertise far beyond many trainers out there and the work she has done with us has helped our dog so much! Her manners are sensational, walking, engagement & attention to commands, when to use a long line, when and how to implement various strategies and other training techniques, the list is endless. I feel so much more confident as an owner and handler of my own dog, our relationship is so close and so positive and we work together as a team. Divina doesn’t overtrain either, her approach just helps you have the best relationship with your dog, living life and loving your dog and all the personality they have naturally! I cannot recommend Davina enough - the best trainer we have ever worked with!

Thank you to such a professional organization for helping my guinea pig stay here for 10 days. The owner is very patient and kind. He will make targeted arrangements according to the pet's own hobbies and behavior habits, so that the pet can not only have a comfortable, constant temperature, clean and quiet environment, but also pay attention to the pet's physical and mental development. I am very grateful to the owner of Willow Woods Bunny Boarding. Thank him for giving my pet another home when I'm not around. Thank you Clarence for your care and help, and wish the business of Willow Woods Bunny Boarding will be better and better! Wish Clarence has good health and a happy family!All the best to you. Thank you very much💕💕💕

This is the first time using a boarding service for my two guinea pigs and Willow Woods was fantastic. I received photos everyday on how my two pigs were doing and could easily contact via whatsapp if I needed to. Drop off and pick up was really easy. Piggies seemed happy and safe on their holiday.

Bun was happy in the space. Well taken care of. Daily photos to put you at ease. Would definitely use again. <3

Thank you Clarence for caring for our 3 guinea pigs. We have boarded our piggies twice now and they have been cared for so wonderfully. Our children are anxious leaving their pets, but knowing they are cared for so well, and the photo updates, helped our children not to worry. Clarence has passion for rabbits and piggies, and takes really good care of them. Our family highly recommends this boarding kennel for your beloved piggies.

Incredibly neat, tidy, and considerate. Definitely run by people who love rabbits. Would definitely recommend. The Facebook updates of our Bunnies was a nice touch :)

Absolute luxury accomodation for bunnies. not only is the site itself totally pristine, safe, and comfortable, but the owners are so professional and really care about looking after your rabbit. 100% recommend to anyone in Melbourne. Our bunny Snacks stayed with Willow Woods twice and on his second visit in May 2019, needed emergency vet care which was terrifying for us being overseas at the time. Willow Woods communicated with us perfectly throughout this process, and got him the help he needed with our preferred vet. Unfortunately, Snacks suddenly passed away at home last week due to the lengthy battle he had with his illness. We are forever grateful that Willow Woods coordinated with our vet while we were away to get him looked after, otherwise he maybe wouldn’t have even made it this far.

The only place we will ever take our bunnies when we go away. Clarence is a lovely guy and he does a wonderful job of looking after your bunnies. True peace of mind that your little pals are in good hands.

Willow Woods is absolutely 5 star. The facilities and the staff are of the highest standard. For rabbits and guinea pigs Willow Woods is absolutely perfect. The cages are spotless and perfectly set up. I will definitely bring my guinea pig back to Willow Woods.

My guinea pigs stayed at the Cavy Camp and it was great. Cages were clean, guinea pigs were well fed and I was also updated of their wellbeing on Facebook. Would definitely recommend!!

Recommends to anyone who's looking for a hotel for their rabbits to stay. Very clean and nice! They love bunnies with a passion and provide an absolute 5 star hotel service to the bubbies!

I can’t say enough good things about Aline! She took such amazing care of my two dogs while I was away. Both of my dogs can be a handful with their different needs, but Aline handled everything perfectly. She sent me regular updates, photos, and videos, which really put my mind at ease. When I returned, my dogs were happy, calm, and clearly well cared for. It’s clear she truly love animals and take her job seriously. I would highly recommend Aline to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter!

We used Aline for 3 weeks- we had such a great experience, our kids were worried about leaving our cat alone, Aline made sure we got pics and video every day making them feel so much better, our cat looked happy and was well looked after! Using her service again 100%

I had used Aline’s service during a family trip where we couldn’t take our dog, Quincy. She was quick to respond, reasonably priced, and willing to meet with us prior to get introduced to Quincy. After our initial meeting, I felt very comfortable having her stay with our dog. She sent us pictures each day, showed them snuggling on the couch, going for walks, etc. She’s a very genuine person that clearly loves animals. I 100% recommend her services and have even promoted her to our dog’s vet. I have already booked her again for another week early next year!!

Aline is incredibly caring and shows the same love for my dog that I do. Incredibly friendly and helpful, I book Aline whenever possible to help walk my senior dog! Highly recommend Aline :)

We had Ailene looking after our big baby and our home for 5 nights. She did not disappoint at all. She kept us up to date while we were away and was so nice to come home to a clean home and an excited big baby. Will definitely be going back to her again

Thank you for a wonderful and affordable experience with my recent pet sitting. My babies enjoyed Breanna’s visits and your notification process allowed me to relax whilst away. I really appreciated the photos and will definitely reach out when I next travel to secure your high class services again.. Highly Recommended!

Always a great, personal service. At home care makes for a much more relaxing environment for pets, and has the added bonus of having a presence on the property while I'm on holidays. The team have been great, and able to provide an excellent service even at short notice. I've been very pleased each time I've used Point Cook/Wyndham Pet Care.

Amazingly professional and caring service. The best pet care service I have ever encountered. Such a personal and caring approach that I can feel completely comfortable that my four legged family are getting the best care. My dog loves getting visits from the girls from PCPC and that means the world to me as I know she is being treated like she is their own pet.

Professional, reliable and friendly service. Wendy has been our dog Walker for 3yrs, firstly with our previous dog and now again with our new addition. I highly recommend this service for any pet walking or sitting needs.

It was soo good to have Lou and Tanya looking after our babies while we were gone for the week, they were able to accommodate for our pets needs especially when we booked at the last minute for new years. Lots of communication to settle all the details and gave us updates to settle our anxiety while we were gone. The pets were relaxed and keen to have us back home and definitely changed our mind about in home pet sitting.

I love coming home from holidays knowing my pets (dog, cat, chickens) have been looked after exactly like I do. They’re relaxed and healthy and happy and in their own home. I can’t recommend (or thank) Mel from PCK Pet Care enough.

Reliable and friendly. Wendy and the team are amazing with my dog and his many medical needs. I love getting a message with a picture after she’s been to show he’s happy and well looked after while I’m out.

WOW, couldn't fault the service provided by Michelle @ Point Cook Petcare. Great peace of mind to know that our Cavoodle was looked after so well while we were away. Loved the daily updates and pics. Definitely will be using PCP in the future. Thankyou

Lou and the team have care for our cats for many years. Their care is impecable and our cats along with us appreciate their care immensley

Fabulous! Jenni and team looked after our cats for a third time. Our cats are so much happier when they stay at home. Thank you Jenni!

Fantastic Experience at Cat Napping Suburban Retreat I recently left my both my cats at Cat Napping Suburban Retreat in Hoppers Crossing for four days while I went on a cruise, and I couldn't be more pleased. The facility was clean, the staff were friendly and professional, and I received daily updates that gave me peace of mind. Both my cats returned happy, healthy, and well-cared for. I highly recommend this cat hotel to anyone looking for a reliable and safe place for their feline friend. Rating: 5/5 stars!

When my dad passed away in 2015, Cat Napping looked after my beloved cats. My Birman was elderly and had special diet with medication, He couldn’t manage the ladder up and down between the sanctuary and floor so the staff made beds and put blankets down on the floor so he wouldn’t get cold and picked him up and put him to bed every night with heat pad. They really went above and beyond. This experience has continued every time my cats have stayed at there, and I’ve gotten to know the owner and team quite well. Cat Napping is my go to for boarding, I recommend them all the time!

Absolutely fantastic, I loved the updates Chloe came out and helped me bring my 2 cats inside and helped me when I was leaving, i received regular updates with photos - I highly recommended cat napping hopper crossing

Thank you to the lovely Lilliana and the team at the Hoppers Crossing Cat Napping, such a lovely team of people who made me feel at ease when I booked my two cats in with your retreat. Thank you for keeping me updated and providing photos of my kitties. I’ll definitely be coming back again when on my next holiday. (Stella and Cheddar) Erik

I love this place in Hoppers Crossing for my cat Teddy & they were so good to him. It is clean & felt so lovely & welcoming as soon as I walked in I knew he was going to be loved & cared for .& I didn’t have to worry about his needs. All the staff were so confident, warm & reassuring. I will definitely let him go there again if I go away again. Thank you all so much! And for the thank you gift & card in the post! How nice to do that! I give you 💯💫

My older cat, Willow, stayed in a Deluxe Villa here for 2 nights. I wasn’t sure how she would go as she’s not very fond of other cats however she was pretty content on drop off and seemed happy and well looked after when I picked her up. I received a detailed email update with photos the morning after dropping her off. I provided my own food for her and they fed her as instructed. Kristine was extremely friendly and quickly responded to Willow’s needs, giving her neck scratches, which are her favourite & moving her food bowls up to her bed as she was a bit nervous in the new environment. The pricing was also very reasonable. Definitely recommend!!

I spoke to a lovely lady tonight over the phone at Cat Napping Hoppers Crossing. I was inquiring about boarding my cat this Christmas as I am going away. Unfortunately they are all booked out but I was given a lot of amazing information and advice on what steps I need to take to be able to board my cat in the future. She had such a happy and helpful tone and didn't mind answering my many questions. I look forward to having a tour around this cattery and potentially using Cat Napping in the future!

We absolutely love Cat Napping and the contact we have with the carers. It's very clean, and there's no unpleasant smell. Our cats went to Hoppers Crossing, Melton & Tullamarine. Two more to visit, it could happen anytime 😊 🐈🐱. Thank you !!! …

I came to visit cat napping in hoppers crossing this afternoon for a tour of the location. Both the girls that were working were absolutely lovely! They gave me a very detailed tour of how they run the cattery and it sounds amazing. I would feel very comfortable leaving my two girls here 😁 …

Wonderful staff who genuinely cared for our Mabel for 3 weeks. The email updates with photos were so greatly appreciated. We will definitely use Cat Napping again, cannot recommend highly enough!

Amazing dog sitter! Bear and Friends were able to cater to our lab’s needs and took very good care of him while we were away for two and a half weeks. The booking/onboarding process was smooth and their team really took the time to get to know our dog first to ensure they can best care for our furry friend. Their team is professional, friendly, reliable, and above all, compassionate towards animals. They went above and beyond to make sure my dog was well taken care of while I was away, and I received regular updates with photos/videos and felt like I never had to worry about anything. Bear is also such a lovely and friendly retriever, our lab got along with him very well. I highly recommend Bear and Friends for anyone in need of a dog sitter!

Monique and her dog Donnie have been amazing with our Oscar! Her genuine passion for animals is clear, and Oscar feels right at home in her care. The personalised updates and loving attention give us complete peace of mind. Thank you, Monique, for treating Oscar like family—we highly recommend Mind My Paws!

I love that I get updates of my dog going for walks on the beach while I'm away. This service is so much better than leaving your dog at a kennel. Monique is a great operator.

Monique, James and Donnie have been an absolute godsend to our home. Bonnie and Buster are so excited to see them each week and we are so appreciative of the love and care our two get. From walking, to adventures, to dog sits and overnight stays, we could not have asked for anyone kinder and more supportive than Mind My Paws.

Monique was great to communicate with and sent a great sitter Simone to look after our pup while we attended a family function. Everything felt great pre 'sitting' and there was no problems and Simone took here for a walk, fed her and sent a couple of snaps during the time with our pup etc Great service, highly recommend!

Monique was always professional and took such good care of our babies. From walks to overnight stays, they were always in the best hands. Photo updates and maps of where they had been were always reassuring. We haven't needed Mind My Paws services for a while, as we are now home a lot more, but I highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter or walker who treats your babies like their own!! 🐶

Couldn’t recommend Monique and Mind My Paws highly enough. Our spoodle loves his adventures and beach walks, and Monique is always so professional and reliable.

Highly recommend Monique from mind my own paws. Very responsible and reliable. My border collie was very well looked after while I was away! Everything was clean and she was always communicating with me . Sent photos and updates of the happy walks they went on. Thank you for looking after my fur baby❤️

Mind my paws were fantastic, Desi came over and fed our dog and 2 cats, cleaned up any accidents, brought in our mail and took out our rubbish. She even checked in with us to put on our aircon when we had 40+ degree days while we were away, sent daily photo/videos, and took our dog for walks. It was incredible peace of mind knowing our pets were getting looked after the same way we would ourselves while we were away

I trust Mon and her team 100% A great service that aids in happy, healthy dogs.

Super responsive and know we can rely on Monique to take good care of our fur baby. Highly recommend.

My two pampered pooches have been staying at Vern Ryan's four or five times a year since 2010, as I trave quite a bit with work. I cannot speak highly enough of them. The boys love going there and I wouldn't trust them to anyone else. The "pick up service" is brilliant and the care they receive at Vern's is amazing.
