We feel like we’ve won the pet and house sitter lotto with Scott. Most importantly, he’s taken great care of our much loved little dog, giving him a lot of care, affection and attention. He paid close attention when Tingsha began scratching (allergy to an insect bite) which needed vet care, with great communication with us. He even took Tingsha to his agility school class each week (great fun had by all) and to get a groom. We’ve come home to a contented and very happy dog. The house is spotless, cleaner than we left it, with fresh flowers and the bed all made up. Perfect! We had regular contact with Scott all through our five week trip and being “fellow travellers” (in all senses) enjoyed sharing lots of local travel tips and experiences as we each visited new parts of the world. We were happy to lend Scott our car and he’s been great with it, super responsible. Scott is a really terrific guy and a fabulous journalist and story teller (you must listen to his podcast about his travels, it’s a cracker). In sharing our home and trusting our beloved dog with him, we feel like we’ve made a new friend along the way. We recommend Scott without any hesitation and thank him for a wonderful experience, we’d love him to come back and see us, anytime. Thanks a bunch!
I felt that my dogs were in good hands with Billy & Cherice - both pups seemed happy and well cared for when I returned from my 3-week trip. My home was also clean and tidy. This was my first experience using an unknown sitter and I felt nervous to leave my dogs for so long while traveling abroad. If they were to stay again I would request more regular photo updates, but otherwise was very happy with Billy and Cherice's pet and home care.
Natalie and Christian were dream pet sitters while we were out of the country for 2.5 weeks. From start to finish, they were reliable and professional, with excellent communication. They had took great care of our dog and chickens and left the house and car in great shape. Plus, they’re just a really sweet young couple. We’d highly recommend them as house sitters.
Sharon was a fantastic sitter for our week away! She left the house as tidy and clean as we left it, including changing the sheets for our arrival. I truly cannot even tell she was here and that made coming home after a long travel day so much easier. She was communicative every step of the way and provided daily updates on our cat with photos. We knew our home and pet were in good hands! I would gladly welcome Sharon back any time should we be so lucky : )
Bryan and Dana were the perfect sitters for Cella. We were delighted that they were able to arrive a day early so that we could enjoy dinner with them and get to know one another. We would be honored to have them sit again. On top of their great care they left us a thoughtful friendship gift. zeewoi continues to be the best site ever. Not only do we have great pet sitters for Cella, we also have the opportunity to meet great new friends. Thank you!!
Sharon was by far the best sitter I’ve ever had! From the very first time we connected, she was communicative and proactive with follow up. She asked great questions prior to her stay and I could tell she’s done this many times and that she genuinely cares about the pets and homes she cares for. Sharon went above and beyond to leave my house in ever better shape, cleaning and organizing. It was a dream to come home to! Thank you Sharon!
Ce was an amazing house sitter for our best bud Atlas. She not only took amazing care of our needy pup, she took great care of the home as well. I honestly think she left it cleaner than I left it for her! We certainly hope she is around the next time our best friend needs a friend. If you're looking for a responsible caregiver for your pets and home - look no further!
If you’re lucky enough to find Anna as your pet sitter you will have peace of mind and well cared for pets whilst you are away and a clean and tidy home on your return. Anna is thoughtful and kind, she arrived the evening before the sit which allowed for some time to hear about her interesting travels and work, kept me updated with fabulous photos and details of the friendship she was making with the cats and even took the trouble to fix a sticky catch on the cat flap. I can recommend her as a sitter without hesitation. Thank you Anna
Gowri was very patient and caring with Irisi who got sick the day before I left. I cannot commend her enough for how she rose to the occasion and took care of my baby. She even pick up meds from the vet. My cat, Squinty, was very comfortable with her to jump in bed and wake her up early in the morning (as he would with me). I am not aware of him doing that to other sitters that have stayed at my place. I would give her 6 stars for Pet care if I can! She updated me with Irisi's condition which really help ease my mind, knowing someone looking after my furry really cared. I would certainly have her back again!
What an amazing couple we had as pet sitters for our two dogs! You can truly feel their love for animals. Nancy sent pictures a couple of times letting us know that they were having fun also with our Cody and Carson! Our home was perfect when we got home. They even left a beautiful potted flower and card on our island in our kitchen. We highly recommend this couple! Jim & Wanda

Tracy and her husband took care of my cat for 5 days, and he absolutely loved them! He normally doesn’t like strangers, but he seemed to warm up to Tracy from the first day, and he was very happy to see her every day! It definitely allowed me to relax knowing he was being taken care with such great care!
Tracy looked after my cat and rabbits while we were away for 10 days. It was not ideal timing because we had builders there while we were away and my cat is very wary of strangers at the best of times. Although Tracy didn’t see my cat every day she reassured me that he had been coming in for food every night. She also did a brilliant temporary repair job for me when one of my rabbit homes developed a hole in the bottom of it. She kept in regular contact and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.
We have two female cats with very different personalities and like any pet owner, we are anxious that they are fed, watered and cared for while we are away. This was the first time that we have used Maccy G Pets service and we can report that we are very happy with the service. Tracy visited us to meet our cats before we travelled which was a nice touch. Tracy kept us updated with daily videos of her interactions with the cats and when we returned all was well with them and our home. Thank you for the care. We would happily recommend their service.
We could not be happier with the service provided at such short notice. Our two elderly cats absolutely love Tracy. Sadie, our eldest at 18 with failing kidneys is a hard nut to crack and very hard to please but the daily photos showed us that she was very happy in Tracy's company, along with Jinx, who has suffered with separation anxiety previously. She took the time to come and visit and introduce herself to the cats prior to starting to care for them. We have booked again as they have been so well looked after.
Having Tracy to look after our Maine Coon kittens for a week meant that we could go on holiday without worrying about them. We had daily video updates to show all the strokes and attention they were getting! And they were bright eyed and bushy tailed happy kitties when we got home :) We would recommend Maccy G Pets without hesitation!
It was the first time we used Maccy G and they were fantastic We went away for a week and Diane was absolutely wonderful. Our cat Archie is very shy but Diane was so patient and managed to help him overcome his shyness and I could see from the photos she sent that he looked so happy and content. It took away all our worries about leaving him. They are wonderful and we will always ask them to look after Archie when we go away. We really would recommend them. 😀
Tracy is a very experienced and trustworthy person who has a real gift/talent in looking after pets. Everything from pre-visit to regular updates whilst on holiday was brilliant. The pets were extremely well cared for and we didn’t have to worry at all whilst away. We would highly recommend this pet sitting service.
We booked Tracey to come twice a day for 5 days, to feed our 2 cats, while we were away. She came to visit before hand and meet them, the paperwork was quick and easy to complete and as she'd already looked after other family member's pets, we didn't have any concerns about the care she'd provide. She wanted to keep their routines as similar to normal as possible and was happy to spend time with them on her visits, brush them, play with them etc. Turns out, as our cats are total wimps, they didn't want to spend much time getting to know her, but Tracey made sure we knew they were safe by contacting us with photos or video of them when she popped in. Although this is her business and it would potentially reduce her profit, Tracey offered to cut back from two to one visit per day, due the cats having access to inside and outside space and eating dried food. We did take her up on this and saved ourselves a few pounds - thanks Tracey. Our cats, Percy and Archie, would not have coped well in a cattery, so this was a great option. Although they were probably a little miffed with us going away, they were both fed and watered and happy to see us in our return. Photo of Archie who was pretty illusive while we were away.
Had a fabulous experience with Tracy looking after my two turtles. You can tell she cares greatly about keeping animals safe, happy and healthy and wants to learn about their personalities. I felt super comfortable leaving my turtles in her care, she sent me daily updates with photos which really put my mind at ease while I was away! 💚 Cheap and friendly service that I will be using again!
We left my 3 individual cats in Tracy’s care for a week whilst on holiday. They are all happy and healthy. We were sent videos each day that gives you great confidence in this business. David Norwich
Clare has been an absolute god send looking after my Dad’s 12 Year Old Schnauzer for the last few weeks whilst he’s been in Hospital. He has had the highest Standard of Care, she sends me regular Pics & Videos and she offers great Value for Money given all the above. I cannot recommend her more highly!
Lovely lady that treated my dog as though it was her own. I was very nervous about leaving my dog with Claire for a week as I had never done this before. However Ickle had a great time and I have booked again for my next trip. Highly recommend for that extra special service.
Claire is on of the genuine and amazing people who simply loves dogs. Iris is such a friendly dawg, so gentle, so between the two of them your dawg will be in holiday heaven and will make a new doggy pal
Claire is always so kind to our dogs. She had them for a few days and it's been like a holiday for them. They loved it! Thank you!!
Thankyou! 🐾 …
Thank you! ❤️🐾 …
Thank you! Always a pleasure to have your gals stay 🐾 …
Stan and Fifi had a short 3 night 4 day stay and I couldn’t be more complimentary about the whole place!! Fifi has her issues and can be defensive after being attacked but they dealt with her perfectly!! The girls we dealt with were brilliant and so caring!! They came home in great shape!! Many thanks for a happy dog family! We won’t be using any other kennels from now on that’s for sure!
I’ve used both Noosabay and Bondi for my dog, we tend to use Bondi more because it’s closer to our home, but have had the same experience at their sister site. When we get close to Bondi my dog gets excited and practically drags me across the carpark for hand over. He loves it there! I worry a lot because my dog is quite hyper and whilst he is very friendly he can be a bit much, and I don’t want him to be a pain, and whilst I’m sure the lovely ladies at Bondi do find him hard work, they have never said so, and are always really reassuring and kind about Frank. I’ve even come home with his bed freshly washed! So thank you very much everyone at Bondi, I wouldn’t want to go anywhere else, and it’s so lovely to be able to go away knowing that my dog is so happy to go to the kennels.
Took my Dozer here for a 1 night stay as a trial. These ladies are fantastic. It’s really like letting go of your child for a night but they reassured me and unsurprisingly he was absolutely fine when I picked him up the next day. I now know I can book him in again and be happy that he’s happy! Quick to answer the phone and to reply to emails. Website for online booking is easy to navigate and easy to book & pay online.
Once again our boys have been well looked after and where happy to be at Bondi. Great to know their safe and happy when we are away
We left our dog at Bondi for 1 night and he was traumatised when we collected him. Stiff rigid not eating or sleeping and very upset. I tried to call to see if everything had been okay but as usual there was no one to speak to. We paid for him to have an extra walk but not sure if he got that. We won't be leaving him there again sadly
Having just moved to this area found it so hard to find kennels available for my dog Archie - Bondi took him for me and he lived it there. Such a great place, so clean and the staff love the pets. We will be taking Archie back.
We were given the option when putting the booking form through of PM pickup for Sunday- booking was confirmed and no one queried the pickup or thought to get in touch to say that they do not actually offer Sunday pm pickup, until I had paid and then on email receipt it says Sunday opening of an hour early morning. As this was last minute and a stressful time I missed this on the email (my mistake here as it did clearly say) we only realised when we dropped off the dog that there wasn’t an option to pick up Sunday pm- unless we agreed to pay £80! We managed to book the dog in somewhere else, with one to one care for two days for £20 less than the proposed fee! Promised a call from the manager to discuss as we would like to at least partially refunded as we feel this is a joint mistake- ours for missing the info, but also Bondi for accepting the booking where it clearly shows PM pickup, without asking questions. Very quick to take money. My decision to remove the dog from the kennels and find an alternative was also made easier as whilst in the car working out what to do I witnessed a staff member trap our dog in the gate as they went to the back, easy to do when carrying lots of stuff, but seeing her then yank the dog through in what appeared to be frustration was not nice to see.
Just wanting to say Than you to all the staff who looked after Lou for the last 8 years when we went on holiday, they showed great care for Lou for all those years but sadly Lou passed away on Friday 26th May, he will be deeply missed.
Excellent staff. Lovely welcome. Clean facility. Will book again. Have always used Noosa Bay. This is a great addition to the business. Well done guys!
The team here took great care of Teddy when he stayed, would definitely recommend..no hesitation to book him here again when we go awayv
My dogs didn’t want to leave! I left my dogs here for a week and I can’t thank them enough. They were amazing with communication, photos and so much more! I always get nervous leaving my dogs at kennels but I would definitely take them here again. They came home smelling amazing and clean! I could tell they’d had a lovely time, I felt safe leaving them in their capable hands. I can’t praise this kennel enough.
We had Dexter here for 4 nights and he’s a nervous dog and has a bit of anxiety when leaving us, but we was so so happy with how he was when we collected him! The two women we met dropping him off and then collecting him they was so lovely and friendly , we felt at ease with Dexter being here, we have already booked him in 3 times for next year and they was pleased to take our booking without any moaning! We will not be leaving Dexter anywhere else than here from now on! Thank you Daniel and Nichola
My two year old spaniel had his first stay at these kennels at the end of May/start of June and came home happy and smelling lovely. The owner is very helpful and answered all queries I had prior to booking him in. He is already booked in for his next holiday with them :-)
They took great care of our pooch, she had lots of walks and cuddles. When our flight was delayed getting back from holiday it was no problem for them to look after our dog for another night. Would highly recommend and will use again.
Just collected my dogs from Andrews Holiday Inn and I thoroughly recommend this kennel. I was very nervous about putting them into kennels for the first time, as they are spoilt doggy’s. Andrews holiday inn was very reassuring, no question was a problem for them and I felt confident I was leaving them in a nice place. They were very relaxed and happy to follow my dogs usual routine with feeding etc. I was also able to take all the toys and comfort items my dogs needed. I was nervous about how the dogs would be on pick up, having never been away before, but they seem absolutely fine, they look happy and healthy and have settled back down again straight away. Very pleased with the service received at the kennels, staff were friendly and everything was clean and homely. I’m delighted that we now have this option for when we next need to go away.
Fantastic service, my boys had a great time came out smiling and wagging their tails.
My dogs have been there several times and I am very impressed with how well the kennels are run by the three sisters. The dogs are always happy to go in I wouldn't take them anywhere else
Been used these kennels for over 30 years so they must be OK
Having just collected my 2 dogs from 10 days boarding at Andrews Holiday Inn I am more than impressed with how my boys have been looked after. They even have a groomer on site. The staff are very professional and caring. Will definitely use these kennels again.
From start to finish we were really impressed. Having only used home boarding previously I was a bit apprehensive about using a kennels but the experience has been great. We boarded our golden retriever for 2 weeks. The kennels are clean and well ventilated with lovely comfy beds and rugs. We were encouraged to bring toys, chews and blankets to make it feel like home. There is a radio playing and the dogs are so well looked after with plenty of exercise including lead walks. All the girls we met through viewing and dropping off/collecting were so lovely and clearly love working with the dogs. When we collected ours after our holiday she was very relaxed and happy. Her coat was shiny and she didn’t seem particularly keen to leave! I would highly recommend this kennels.
My dog stayed here Friday-Monday. A lovely, hygienic place, very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Upon booking him in the lady arranged for me to view the kennels first, which I did and the gentleman (sorry I forget there names!) Showed me around and made sure our dog had the correct vaccinations so that when we dropped our dog off we would be ready to go. He explained the days routine and upon collection brought my happy dog out to me and spoke to me about his time with them. Very pleased and will definitely use in future. :-)
Our dog Lily was under their care for 6 days, although I wasn't happy to leave her as she us a rescue dog and obviously spent a lot of time in kennels, but she went off happily, which again upset me, I phoned after a couple of days to see how she was getting on and told "she us partaking in activities" by which I assume was being nosey. She eat her food, therefore she was obviously happy. Whilst sorting out forms etc. I noticed one thing, there was no doggy smell everything was very clean and they were very efficient. I will definitely use again if and when the need arises, I would whole heartedly recommend Charlou, they have very high standards, and above all they are 'doggy people'
Took my dog for Christmas week with little notice. Very friendly and professional owners. First time my 8year old had been in kennels. He took it very well. Must have felt comfortable. Would use again.
Run by a lovely couple who could not be more helpful. They love animals and are really attentive to how well our pets are looked after. Can handle vet visits, groomer visits, special diets and making sure animals get their drugs if needed. Have been a customer for years.
Dee and Pete love animals and are very caring of our 16 year old dog. She can be a challenge for people but they always come up to the mark. She had been a visitor for 14 years, would highly recommend.
My rescue cat,Cous Cous, was very contented and well cared for here - we were away for 2 weeks and Lianne was really sweet to her when she was stressed by our absence. Heartfelt thanks - meant we could relax on holiday - would definitely recommend and hope to use Charlou's services in the future.
We have used the kennels for many years and always been very pleased with the service & care provided to our boxers & pug !! Happy to recommend Chalou to you . Maria & Ant Hewkin
Iv been taking my cats Jack and Tillie hear for years. Very happy how they are looked after nothing is to much trouble. Lovely people highly recommended. 🐺😆 …
Great doggy hotel. Lile was very happy when we brought her home, highly recommend.
Great kennels, my Jack Russell is always happy when I pick her up after a stay with Dee and Pete
Not happy with the customer service we received during the covid outbreak I’m afraid. Our deposit was kept despite the circumstances which obviously was totally out of our control. As a self employed person I understand the financial implications for a business but passing the bill onto customers who are already losing out is just bad taste. Also, the dogs were scheduled to go to a couple who they had never met before (this was our second time using barking mad) despite being told during the registration meeting that they would go to the same people each time. A little disappointing as very pricey too.
I have always been really pleased with the service that I have got with Barking Mad our dog is always well cared for, we have never been let down by them I would recommend them to anyone, I could not put my boys in a kennel so it is perfect they get a holiday and we do not have to worry. When I get my older boys stuff ready to go he is at the window waiting then when they arrive he lets us know and can't get to the car fast enough. Thank you Barking Mad for making it easy for us. Jacqui & Steve Kirby
Our boy has been twice now and seemed like he had a great time, in fact he wanted to get back in the car for more. He clearly has taken to his host Dave and Caroline, so will definitely be sending him again very soon.
Fantastic company with quality service and extremely trustworthy. Would recommend to anyone looking for a alternative to traditional kennels or sitters. Thankyou!
