Dog Sitters in South Melbourne

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.

We’ve had such a great experience with DogsHQ South Melbourne! Chopper absolutely loves it and gets so excited on the days he goes. The staff are attentive, professional, caring, and always so friendly. It’s clear they genuinely care about the dogs in their care. The facility is clean and safe, which gives us peace of mind knowing our boy is having a great time while being well looked after. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and fun daycare for their dog!

I cannot speak highly enough about DOGS HQ South Melbourne. All the staff are incredibly lovely, and nothing is too much trouble. Best of all, I know my puppy is being well looked after, so I don’t need to worry. If you’re looking for doggy daycare, do your puppy a favour and send them to DOGS HQ South Melbourne!

My work moved offices right near Dogs HQ a few months ago, so I’ve been taking Rocket once a week ever since. He has the BEST time, look at that smile! Not only do they give him so much attention, and lots of mental stimulation and play but they also post plenty of photos and videos during the day so I get to see how much fun he has! 🥰

Dogs HQ South Melbourne is hands down the best doggy daycare in the area! The staff are super attentive to your furry loved ones, always responsive to your queries and I know my puppy has an amazing day each time he goes! Highly recommend if you are in the South Melbourne area.

On behalf of my weim, we love DogsHQ. He loves the play he gets with other dogs and his humans love how happy and tired he comes after each visit. Also the bonus is the videos we get to see of him having the best time.

Our rambunctious 5 month old puppy Emmett goes to Day Care 1 to 2 times a week and absolutely LOVES it. We feel he is in safe hands with the regular updates we get on instagram, and the team know him well by name. He is so excited to arrive in the morning and he gets to socialise and play till his heart's content. Thank you Dogs HQ South Melbourne team for looking after Emmett!

Our Boston Terrier Lottie has been coming here now for a few months. She absolutely loves it and comes home on an evening very played out! It is peace of mind to us that she is well looked after and cared for during her stay there by the amazing staff and we can also see what she gets up to on their regular Instagram or Facebook updates. Highly recommended!

We are thrilled with the level of care Dogs HQ offers. Kobe can’t wait to get in and play with his friends. He is always well looked after, the staff know him and always offer us little pieces of information about his day. I love following on with Kobe’s day on Instagram. Very big thank you to all the staff at Dogs HQ

I’ve been taking my 1 year old Cavoodle to dogs HQ since he was 5 months old. Reo absolutely loves going there. I am sure it is his favourite place. The staff do an amazing job looking after him. When I pick Reo up he is exhausted from having so much fun! It is clean, the dogs have a blast there. You get to watch your pup on the socials and get many photos! I highly recommend Dogs HQ! I sometime wish they open on weekends too this way I can put Reo there if I need to knowing he will be taken great care of. I can’t thank the staff enough there. 🐶💙

This is a great puppy daycare! Milo has been enjoying every single time he’s been there. He is a mini dachshund and I started taking him ever since he got all his shots. Great for keeping your pup busy and socialice.The staff is lovely and very helpful. You get regular updates through their instagram account . All dogs seem to be having a blast.

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. 🐕🐱 …

Tayla has been walking our dog for a few months now and she's honestly the best dog walking service I've ever had. The dog is always excited to go on walks with them. He's always pooped after the walks. Really professional service and always quick to reply to changes in service requests. Plus you get really cute photos of your pooch on every stroll

I moved to Sydney in March 2018, I was really worried that bringing my Australian cattle dog to the big city was going to be a big disadvantage for her life. I quickly found Tayla through a mail drop in my local area. Once Tayla started walking / looking after Coconut (daycare) all my worries went out the window. Tayla is one of the most epic women I have ever met. She is caring and kind and looks after all the dogs like there her own. I felt like Coconut was as loved with Tayla as much as with me. Coconut always came home tired as though she had been for a gigantic walk (which is what she needs). Tayla is so understanding and adaptable to all of the dogs that she looks after. I cannot recommend her enough!

Our puppy Lonnie was so beautifully taken care of by Tayla during his three night sleep-over. Lons is a real homebody and takes time to get to know new peeps in his life - when we met Tayla we knew we instantly knew he'd be a-ok! We loved seeing the photos of his doggy adventures and Tayla kept us up to date on how he was doing. Tayla, thanks for all your care and love for Lonnie. He gives you four paws up!

Tayla is an amazing dog walker! We have an anxious dog, and he loved going out on adventures with Tayla! He even became less reactive towards other dogs and more friendly when he meets dogs! He especially loved going on swimming trips to the beach, and would come home very happy! We highly recommend Tayla! She is very trustworthy and caring, and we appreciate all that she did to help us with our dog!

Tayla loves dogs and dogs love her. She is amazing!! I highly recommend Tails with Tayla for anyone looking for someone who they can trust to take care of their dog in a fun, energetic and safe way! 5 stars plus.

Tayla is a wonderful person who has the dogs best interest's at heart. My dog adores Tayla and the friends she has introduced to her. Tayla took on another client's gorgeous dog who was extremely timid but patiently working with her and Introducing this dog to mine, has encouraged and brought the timid young dog out of her shell and they have lots of fun together. Fantastic Tayla, thank you

Tayla is an absolutely incredible and devoted pet professional! I always feel completely assured in leaving my dog Otis with her! He always has an amazing time, is always wearing a smile apon his return and rarely wants to come home with me after! Incredibly flexible and cooperative. I wouldn't trust anyone else in the world with my Dog as much i would Tayla!!!!!

I took my Doggo Milo to Tayla after a not so good experience with daycare, Milo has HEAPS of energy, so I was so surprised to see him fast asleep on the couch when I got home. Thanks so much Tayla!

Tayla is the best! Our dog loves playing with the other dogs and she handles his never ending energy amazingly! He always comes back super tired after a day with Tayla and omelette. Would highly recommend her.

Tayla is an amazing person with an exceptional work ethics. She goes above and beyond with my puppy every time. Excellent communicator and treats all he pups with extra care. so much respect for this girl :)

My toy poodle was overcome by anxiety when I first brought him to daycare, I couldn’t leave him alone without him having a dramatic puppy meltdown. The team at Mr Woofles managed to provide support, care and options to help transform him into a happy-go-lucky and (mostly) well behaved dog. I highly recommend Mr Woofles if you are struggling with an anxious dog or just need your dog left in good hands.

Great experience again for Jessie and Angus. Contact from staff re Angus’ suspected UTI infection and regular updates much appreciated, typical of Mr Woofles’ caring staff. Thank you for looking after our dogs so well!

Milo has been coming to Mr Woofles since his puppy days and has been a regular daycare boy for over a year now! He absolutely loves his time there - just comes straight home and passes out till dinner! He's also boarded over night, as long as 10 nights with them and I have no worries that Saskia, Emma and the rest of the staff there are taking the best care of him and his needs while he's under their care.

I took my dog Leo here for doggy day care. He's normally a pretty confident dog but looked a little nervous when we got there. The staff were lovely and tried to put my mind at rest. Later that day one of their staff members send me a photo of Leo and gave me an update. I thought it was pretty cool that she did this and it made me feel comfortable about his stay. When I picked him up that night the staff had picked up on a few of his traits that I forgot to tell them (whoops), so I was pretty impressed that the staff know their stuff and were clearly attentive. I had a relaxed and tired dog that night which was great after a day of work. I booked Leo in the next day and asked if he could get washed and his hair trimmed. They did a great job, it was the best trim he has had a 2+ years. I will use them in the future as normally when I get his clip I would need to book him in on a Saturday 4-6 weeks in advance which is a little frustrating. Now I can drop him off in the morning, know he is looked after and pick up a clean and happy pooch at the end of the day. If I'm being honest, I'm a bit of an over protective dog owner but the staff really won me over and not only made my dog happy but me as well. I would highly recommend their doggy day care and their grooming service.

A home away from home! Thank you Saskia, Emma and the Mr Woofles team for always taking wonderful care of my little frenchie Daisy. And for providing a safe and fun space during her regular visits. Daisy’s temperament and socialization skills are a credit to your integrity and caring nature. Personally, I am grateful for your support towards local small businesses by stocking their food, treats, toys and top dog gear in reception. The charitable Halloween and Christmas dog photo opportunities you create are an awesome way to give back too. Mr Woofles would be hard to beat for dog daycare and I wouldn’t take Daisy anywhere else.

Me and My puppy Gus love Mr Woofles, I love it knowing my furbaby is looked after and cared for and comes home super tired which is a bonus! The staff post lots of pictures and videos on social media so you can nose on your four legged friend all day long and be envious that you yourself was not born a dog. Would I recommend its a big YES from us.

We had Iroh at Woofles for two years then moved across town. Tried some others and now we drive across town to bring him back. Woofles is so good. Do you friend a favour and take them to Woofles

My dog has boarded here a few times and always seemed satisfied. Always needed a shower after his visit but I guess that happens when you mingle with a few dozens of doggos for a few days

Bowie has been going to Mr Woofles every week since he was a couple of months old, and it's been a crucial part of his routine now for two years. Just wanted to give a big shout out to Emma, who has been exceptional from day one. She's become a "bone"-a fide extension of Bowie's family and is a key human in his life. Thank you, Emma!

They took my puppy at the last minute and were very accommodating of our emergency need to have him kenneled. He went in with a mild injury and came out better than ever, clean and healthy. Communication with the owners was great throughout.

This is a wonderful day spa for my pet ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our cat had quite an adventure at the pet day spa! Initially terrified by the unfamiliar sounds of rushing water and bubbling jets, she was hesitant to step into the warm bath. As a cat who typically avoids water, it was clear she was out of her comfort zone. However, thanks to the gentle and patient care of the spa staff, she gradually relaxed. The staff understood her apprehension and took their time to soothe her nerves. They ensured the water temperature was just right, which made a world of difference for our sensitive kitty. The use of calming techniques and soft, reassuring voices helped ease her anxiety throughout the spa session. By the end of her visit, our cat emerged looking fluffy and content. Despite her initial fear, she seemed to appreciate the pampering and attention she received. It was heartwarming to see her return home feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. We're grateful to the pet day spa team for their professionalism and dedication to making our cat's experience as stress-free as possible. Their understanding of feline behavior and meticulous care exceeded our expectations. It's clear they genuinely care about the well-being of their furry clients. Overall, our cat's trip to the pet day spa turned out to be a positive experience, thanks to the patience and expertise of the staff. She may not be a fan of water, but the care she received left her happy and relaxed, making us confident in recommending this spa to fellow pet owners.

Had a horrible experience. Gave my 1 year old dog for a full body trim. When I went to pick him up, they trimmed him too much even after mentioning at the beginning of the appointment that I didn’t want that. Also they cut his toe a little too closely cause of which my dog was bleeding from his paws. The staff didn’t mention it and didn’t even apologies for the mistake. Very insensitive and rude behaviour. On top of that they charged me extra for the deep trim. I had to take my dog straight to an emergency vet. Would never visit again.

Just discovered this place for our cat and they were wonderful! Very friendly staff and did such a fantastic job with grooming our cute little baby! Will definitely be coming back here again!

Always do an amazing job on our wee toy cavoodles - Archie & Frankie. So caring and always check we are happy before we take them away xx

Fast booking was able to book in next day Good customer service ☺️ Great lion clip on my Ragdoll cat for the warmer weather. My cat wasn’t stressed either

This is my second time bringing my Pomeranian here and I'm so pleased, he looks and smells fabulous! I always get nervous that groomers will cut too much fur on double-coated dog but the staff listened and just trimmed where I had specified. They were so lovely, prompt and offered a range of wonderful services for a really good price. My all time favourite groomers and I will be coming back regularly. Thanks so much for looking after Loki

The service was great, and the staff was really friendly. They even gave me some tips. I'm definitely going back for more services.

Giving this place 5 stars for doing such a wonderful job for my Japanese Spitz, Yumi. They always take good care of her and she always looks so neat and fluffy afterwards 🥰 …

I had an absolutely fantastic experience here! The staff was incredibly friendly and professional, making sure my dog felt comfortable and at ease throughout the entire grooming session. The facility was clean and well-maintained, and I could tell that they truly care about the well-being of the animals they work with. My dog came out looking and smelling amazing, with the perfect cut and a shiny coat. I highly recommend.

I recently visited Kloud9 in South Melbourne for the first time, hoping for a simple trim for my dog. I had specifically asked for a trim for the head, nose, and mouth, but only the eyes were cut. When I inquired about the full face trim as advertised, the price was suddenly raised from $20 to $40, which felt misleading and like false advertising. Feeling disappointed, I asked about the cost to trim the entire body, as my dog’s face was now much shorter than its body. I was quoted $110, and after some consideration, I agreed to pay the difference. However, the owner refused and insisted it would be an additional $110 plus $40 for the face trim, which seemed unreasonable given the circumstances. As this was my first visit, I felt the situation was not handled well. The focus seemed to be more on upselling than on customer service or the well-being of my pet, which was frustrating. Overall, it was a very disappointing experience, and I left feeling that the business was more interested in making money than providing a positive experience for either my pet or myself.

Tania was an amazing with our three cavoodles (even through 3 is a handful at times which just goes to show her caring nature). The bubs are like children and we felt from the first meeting that they would be in great, loving hands. Tania kept us updated with photos of the dogs enjoying their walks and generally. We came home to 3 very happy dogs (who were, after their excitement of greeting us, luckily exhausted from their walk time to settle in and cuddle with a sleep. Will definitely be seeking Tania’s services again (and I’m certain the dogs would love it!)

Tania (My Pet Auntie) looked after our tabby Dexter for us for 3 weeks while we were overseas. Our cat can be a bit of shy and anxious around new people so we were worried about leaving him at home for the first time for so long. Tania was amazing, she kept us updated with texts and pics and went above and beyond to give our boy extra care, play time and company. He was very calm and comfortable when we got home. We are so grateful to her - huge thank you Tania!

Tania was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter. My dogs were so happy and content with her. She took such good care of them and I wouldn't hesitate to use her again. Thanks Tania!

Tania has a genuine love and care towards animals. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my 2 dogs besides her. We went away to Europe for 5 weeks and they were so calm when we got back, they looked at us like “Great that you’re back, but you’ve been replaced” 😂 I felt so relieved knowing my dogs weren’t stressed while I was away. Life saver! Thank Tania

I can't say enough good things about Tania, our pet walker and minder! For the past four years Tania has looked after our German Shepherd, Murphy, on a weekly basis and the experience has been nothing short of exceptional. Tania has an incredible way with animals and always goes the extra mile to meet both Murphy's and our needs. Murphy absolutely adores her and looks forward to their walks and playtime in the park. Tania's fantastic energy and genuine love for animals shines through in every interaction and makes her time with Murphy truly special. If you're looking for someone reliable, caring and enthusiastic to look after your pet, Tania is the best choice you could make. Highly recommended!

Tania has been amazing with my two pups. My girl is 12 1/2 and on meds and my boy is 9 1/2 - both are labradors and they love Tania - as do I. Tania made it easier to be away knowing that she had their best interests at heart. She measured out their meals and spent time with them with plenty of cuddles and walks every day. She kept in touch and sent pics of the pups. We were so happy to have her look after the house and our dogs.

We engaged Tania (My Pet Auntie) to look after our 2 dogs, Caesar & Apollo while we were away on holiday for 6 weeks. I cannot express how grateful we are for the high level of personal care that our boys received. She was in regular contact with updates, pictures and videos (including Facetime!) Both our boys always looked happy and relaxed on their daily walks and at home. We felt she put their interest and welfare first, especially having a senior dog that needs a little extra care. Treating them with lots of love and care which is why they love and adore her. On return our house was spotless and she even left a beautiful note with treats for our boys. I cannot recommend her highly enough, she is genuine, honest and caring and we are very grateful for their wonderful care she provided while we were away, it was a huge relief. 5 Star service

My furbabies love their Pet Auntie. Tania does a wonderful job, is kind and caring with my cat and dog, and very reliable and trustworthy. Both my pets have special instructions and medications and nothing is an issue for Tania. Very highly recommend!

We highly recommend Tania. We visited Melbourne from Adelaide with our boy Harley who didn’t handle the unfamiliar environment when we left the house. Somehow we found Tania and for a very reasonable price she allowed us to go out to places Harley couldn’t attend guilt and worry free! Won’t hesitate to bring Harley next time! Cheers

Over the past 3 years I have engaged MY Pet Auntie on a regular basis. The services provided range from intensive care of an elderly dog to a new puppy in the midst of training. The preparation of meals as well as full time care during my absence, is accomplished with exceptional efficiency and attention to any needs that arise. Also Auntie provides me with regular cleaning assistance and back yard care for my chooks and veggie patch. All of this is carried out with loving kindness and a genuine commitment to excellent.

My dog, Coco regularly attends Hounds of the Hood in Richmond. Coco is an elderly dog at 16 Years. Angela and her team look after Coco very well and we are very grateful for the care given to her. I highly recommend Hounds of the Hood for your doggy daycare requirements.

Buongiorno the Italian Greyhound loves his weekly visit to Hounds of the Hood. Angela the owner is his favourite human and all the staff are kind and sweet. Buongi bounds out of the car and comes home happy and exhausted. Having an outdoor area for our dogs to enjoy the sunshine is such a bonus in Richmond. Happily recommend HOTH to any dog owner. 🐾❤️

Angela and her team at HOTH are exceptional. My dog used to be too anxious to enjoy doggy day care, but over the course of the last year, he’s enjoyed his time there. The team greet my dog every time and get him excited to walk through the door. Can’t recommend HOTH enough.

Hounds of the Hood has been incredible for my anxious Dachshund. Unlike other daycare venues he absolutely loves it there. The staff are wonderful, it is obvious they are dog lovers and truely care about my precious pooch. Here is a photo of him worn out after a day at HOTH.

This is an amazing doggy daycare. We took our doggo back here after Ange and her team took over, redeveloped and revamped the site from a long relationship with dogzone. They have done an amazing job and are extended family. It is amazing how much they love and treat the dogs. I cannot recommend HOTH enough. This is and should be the standard. Congrats on an amazing facility and thank you all for your love and care.

Hounds of the hood is a state of the art new facility for dogs! You can see the genuine love and care for all the dogs when you go in! My chocolate lab had the best time and came home exhausted with lots of new friends. I could not recommend Hounds of the hood any higher.

HOTH are the the very best and look after our dog as if he was their own. Couldn’t ask for a better service and highly recommend.

The crew at HotH are the best. Maggie the Staffy was cared for superbly. I'm so grateful that I've found you. Sue ❤️

Can’t recommend enough!! The social media is absolutely fantastic to watch all day and the staff are so amazing and friendly. Didn’t know kelpies could be so tired!!

Hounds of the Hood Richmond have exceeded all our expectations of Doggie Day care. Angela and her team work hard to understand the needs of each dog in every session, and make adjustments where necessary to ensure a great experience. The team all enjoy being immersed with the happy dogs, are alert to situations that may emerge from time to time, monitor the packs to ensure needs are attended to and intervene if and when necessary. The HOTH is spotlessly clean, with an excellent staff to dog ratio. The team rotate appropriate toys, just as we would at home. We pick up and drop off a happy dog, whose behaviour only improves with every visit. Thx Angela and the whole team, we’re lucky to be part of your foundation year clients. Get in while you still can.
