Jeannette was the absolute best pet sitter anyone could ask for! She was communicative and easy going. She took very good care of the house, but most importantly she took superb care of my dog, Bodhi. She took him on long walks and fun adventures everyday. While I was out of the country, I received pictures and updates of their "vacation". I loved seeing Bodhi's and Jeannette's smiles in all the photos. They definitely bonded. :) I would highly recommend Jeannette as a pet sitter and also as an excellent person who cares about people, animals, and the planet.
Amanda was the perfect housesitter and pet sitter for our cat. She is organized and communicative, and took care to ensure she understood the guidelines for taking care of our home and our cat. She left our house in perfect condition and we returned home to one happy kitty! Would not hesitate to have Amanda housesit for us again or recommend her to others looking for a sitter.
I have nothing but great things to say about Jill! She’s a wonderful sitter and I felt so comfortable leaving my dog and cat in her capable hands while I was out of the country. She was thorough in making sure she knew exactly what each pet needed, had excellent communication, and provided me with daily updates. I came home to a house that was even tidier and more organized than when I left and two very loved pets. I would highly recommend Jill to anyone looking for a kind, caring, consistent pet sitter. Thank you so much Jill!!!
Lindsay and Bryce provided excellent care to our two cats while we were gone. They are great communicators, took amazing care of our apartment and send regular updates and photos so that we knew all was going well. We would absolutely recommend them as responsible and thoughtful pet sitters who can be entrusted with the care of your home and pets.
Great pet care. The house was clean and tidy. The sitters had great communication. Would recommend again!
Kyle was a great house sitter and pet sitter for us. We had a good dialogue prior to him sitting for us, and we also did a short walkthrough the week before. Kyle formed a great bond with our dog Charlie and also took good care of our rabbit Poppy. A couple of minor issues came up with systems in our home due to an unexpected power outage, and Kyle was quick to connect with us and then was able to work 1:1 with the service providers to resolve the issues. We look forward to working with Kyle again.
Kate was an excellent house sitter and pet sitter. She was thoughtful, sensitive, and attuned to our cats and the particulars of our house. It was really easy to communicate with her and she was responsible and conscientious about everything. When we came back our cats seemed unfazed by our return which was a great sign and it was obvious that she spent lots of time with them and gave them lots of love. The house was spotless on our return and she even alerted us to a health matter in one of our cats. She sent lots of cute updates and was easy going when we messed up a logistical detail on our end. Just a delightful person all around. I'd love to have her come again and if you have a chance to have her housesit, jump on it. She is a gem.
We had the pleasure of having Tara as our house sitter while we were away, and we can't praise her enough for the fantastic job she did. Not only did she take excellent care of our home, but she also showed tremendous love and attention to our beloved dogs. From the moment Tara walked through the door, we could tell she had a genuine passion for animals. She immediately bonded with our dogs, and they seemed completely at ease with her. Throughout our trip, she provided us with regular updates and photos, which truly put our minds at ease knowing our boys were in great hands. Tara took great care of our home as well. It was evident that she respected our space and coming back home, we found everything just as we left it, if not even better! We highly recommend Tara to anyone in need of a reliable, trustworthy, and caring house sitter. Her communication was excellent, and she proved herself to be a responsible and dedicated individual. If you want to ensure your pets and home are in the best hands while you're away, Tara is the perfect choice. Thank you, Tara, for taking such incredible care of our dogs and home. You made our trip stress-free, and we're truly grateful.
Jeremy and Brooke were fantastic! We have a senior dog and a over hyper pittie. They gave Daisy her meds and had lengthy walks with Fin to burn off some of his energy. Brooke sent me regular texts to show me precious pictures of the pups by the Christmas tree, which warmed my ❤️. The house looked great when we returned. They are awesome detailed sitters and will make your pets feel loved and secure!!
Mikala & Jake were great house & pet sitters for us!! Our dog and two cats absolutely adored them, and we came back to a very clean home with happy animals :) They were very reliable and fast communicators. They even had to deal with our power going out while we were away, and they handled it well. It eased our minds to know our animals and house were in such great care while we were away and would have them sit for us anytime!

What an amazing couple, This is truely the best accomodation and care you could ask for your fur babies. Fred and Linda provided us with regular updates, photos and videos of our six year old cavoodles stay with them. The photo attached is one from Lola’s recent stay with Fred and Linda.They are so very kind and loving of animals and provide such a professional service. Worth every dollar. Thank you so very much.
Fred and Linda looked after our little dog Snowy every time we were away. He loved them and was always happy to go over to their place. We fully trusted Fred and Linda with Snowy
Fantastic!! Fredrik and Linda looked after Rufus for us and did an amazing job. They are absolutely dog people. Rufus was well looked after with his own bowl, own food, own bed, own routine and lots of walks and outings. He came home a very happy doggie.
Fredrik and Linda took such good care of my 3 cheeky chihuahua's in our home over the weekend for the first time. They updated me with hilarious photos and videos of their shenanigans. Pawsitive Dogwalks provide a wonderful service! I was able to relax on my trip knowing they were in safe hands and I cant wait to go away again!
Fred was so lovely and caring to our tabby cat Bert. We've used other services but Fred from Pawsitive dogwalks was next level! Just great thank you, ongoing customers for life and such a nice feeling knowing our boy is being taken care of.
Fred and Linda are passionate about dogs!! They have done a fantastic job looking after our Albert, while we were away. They provide excellent care, love, and attention, ensuring our little guy is always happy and comfortable. They always treat Albert as if he was their own. We highly recommend them to all pet parents!
Fred and Linda are true dog lovers, so gentle in nature and treated my cavoodle Luna so well! They looked after my Luna the day before and on my wedding day. I asked them to bring Luna to my wedding photoshoot after the ceremony and they arrived on time reliably and took such good care of her!! They also took photos of her throughout her stay with them to keep me updated. A beautiful experience from start to finish.
Fred is absolutely fantastic with our border collie, who is always super excited to see Fred. Fred has an amazing rapport with the dogs 👍 …
We are so grateful to Fred for his wonderful care of our dog Tui. Tui has now stayed with Fred twice, most recently for nearly 3 weeks. Fred took her on so many wonderful walks and sent us plenty of photos of her adventures every day, and she returned to us so healthy and happy. We have absolute trust in Fred - he is so kind, knowledgeable, and skilled with all types of dogs. We can't recommend him highly enough, whether for dogwalking or dogsitting. He is an absolute gem!!
We have been leaving our golden retriever Jasper with Fred and Linda for over 10 years . We cannot speak highly enough of them !!They are the complete package - genuine, compassionate ,understanding , ethical - 100% trustworthy. They offer a genuine family environment for home stays. I can tell in an instant that Jasper is totally at home with them whenever I have to bring him back home . It's like he's been living with relatives ! Our dog is now a senior and has special needs yet nothing is too much trouble for Fred and Linda. They are simply the best !! ( Suzanne )
Fiona has been a wonderful support taking my dog Henry for a walk everyday for the last 2 or 3 months while I recovered from an injury. Henry absolutely loves it when Fiona arrives, and he comes back a happy dog. Fiona is reliable, professional and caring and I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending her dog walking services.
Fiona was kind enough to dog-sit for us while I was overseas for a few weeks. We're sure Yuki was well looked after while I was away, and Fiona was kind enough to drive Yuki to grooming on short notice, and Yuki came home looking fabulous and happy.
Fiona is so caring and amazing, she offers great walks for my 2 furbabies!
Absolutely wonderful. Delighted with the service. I couldn't speak more highly of Fiona's Pet Services. Highly recommended.
Fantastic thankyou! Both our bunnies seemed very happy afterwards.
Fiona is a lovely pet sitter
Caring and personal
Thank you.
Such a caring place. My, almost, 18 year old dog, Milo got more anxious and stressed as he got older and Wagtime always cared for him when they groomed him and would stop when he got too stressed. They'd groom him as soon as possible and lightly dry him so that he was as comfortable as possible. We have been going to Wagtime for years and I cant be more appreciative. They are the only groomer that we went to that went out of their way and truly cared for Milo
Poppy (Standard Poodle) absolutely loves going to Wagtime! Amazing service and communication, very experienced with dog behaviour. Thank you Wagtime! 🐩 …
We’ve tried a couple of daycares in the area and wagtime co has by far been the best fit for us. Aedie called me to discuss our pup and his needs and advised on which day care group he may be the best fit for. The dogs are closely monitored all day by the most amazing team, ensuring they are learning how to socialise well and have good dog manners. The team are so honest with how your dog is going and if the daycare setting is working well for your dog and how to adjust if not, rather than just taking your money and not caring about whether it’s beneficial for your dog or not like some other daycares do. Their grooming services have also always been amazing! Thanks so much for everything wagtime co team - can’t tell you what a relief it is to know my dog is in such good hands at daycare.
Ebby loves going to daycare at Wagtime, from her first day trying to run for the exit to now dragging me through the front door without a second glance so she can play with her furfriends.. highly recommend Wagtime, the team are amazing and caring and I know my pup is in great hands and getting the best social interaction she needs. Thanks Wagtime!
What an absolutely amazing groomer and service! The best cut our 3 King Charles Cavaliers have ever had - we could not be happier. And the customer service was outstanding.
Obi and Poppi love this place!
Happy doggy good times at Wagtime doggy daycare! Luna loves Aedie & my shy girl’s starting to learn how to get along & play with dogos her own size as well as some bigger friends! Really safe, friendly & caring environment.
I had to find a new groomer after moving house, and I’m always a little sceptical about new places. I had nothing to worry about! The staff here are so incredibly friendly and professional. Our dog Bilbo (Border Collie) looked fantastic after his groom, and the range of products are excellent too. Highly recommend Aedie & the team from Wagtime!
Amazing professional pet groomers! They did a fabulous job with my dog who needed quite a specific type of groom. So so happy with the result and will def be making this my groomer of choice. High recommend!
My dog loves coming to Wagtime for grooming, she bounces in with her tail wagging and the staff are so lovely to her, plus she always leaves looking and smelling amazing! 10/10 would recommend!
Very relieved at the great service that Elyse provided from Pawshake. My 20 yo pussy needed a lot of attention and cleaning up after and I was extremely happy to see she was looked after. Elyse even sent me videos so that I did not worry while on holiday. Excellant Service.
It was very easy to find a sitter with Pawshake. The app is well done and the communication with Charlie, our sitter was also very easy. Our 4 month puppy Paku has fallen in love with Charlie and her dog Opinel. We will use Pawshake again and Charlie is the perfect carer for Paku. We had a very tired and happy boy at home that night.
Easy online service to use. Brittany had a meet and greet with our 2 cats and took wonderful care of our boys, even sending some photos to us! Our cats were very relaxed when we came back. Will definitely use this service again
I had a fantastic experience having Sharon from Pawshake care for my cat while I was away. She was wonderfully communicative and kept me up to date on my cat’s care - despite my cat hiding from her throughout the week I was away! Pawshake was very easy to book care through and easy to use!
I discovered Pawshake when looking for in-home care for my rescue dog, and I was able to get in touch with some great local pet-sitters. Since then I'm using Pawshake regularly when my dog needs some extra company or a walk while I'm at work - and I've had nothing but positive experiences. The pet-sitters on Pawshake are all genuine animal lovers who have all been so kind, professional, and taken great care of my fur baby! Being able to organise meet and greets before booking is so valuable too. A great service.
Our cats were well looked after and our sitter was terrific in caring for their wellbeing. They began to warm up to her in just a few days. We have already booked her for our next holiday.
Thanks Pawshake for the creating a unique service like this. Having recently adopted a puppy, I was hesitant to put him into a dog kennel / hotel. As a child the only option we had was dog kennels, and our family dog was always traumatised when we collected her. Admittedly, things have improved since then, but even recently, I saw one Dog Hotel that offers just 30 mins of play time per day! And you have to pay extra if you want more socialisation. Unbelievable! With Pawshake we connected with a great petsitter (my glowing review of her is on the app) and it meant that our pooch had a holiday while we were away on our holiday! Regularly photos of him made us feel at ease, and when we collected him, he looked happy and well looked after. (And in addition, it was a LOT cheaper than dog hotels / kennels). Thank you!
Thank Pawshake for the service and let us to find the reliable dog sitters so easily. This was the first time for our dog to leave home, but he had a good time with the sitters. We received our dog's photos through Pawshake everyday and were very happy with it.
Pawshake was very easy to use and reliable too. Left our little dog for the first time in March. Was very happy with the sitter so used them again when we went away for the long weekend recently. Our little Teddy was cool and collective when we picked him up after he spent 3 nights with the sitter. Highly recommend the use of this website for doggy sitting.
Helen made me feel reassured that leaving our 5 month old puppy over Xmas was no hardship. Mimmi was happy to see me when I picked her up but calm & happy
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 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!
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!
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 👍🏻👌
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! 😊 …
Recently i used MDN pet care absolutely amazing awesome service needed someone to look after my 11 year old kelpie at the last minute have work Martin and Adrian we more than happy to look after belle they came out to pick her up as my car is of the road really friendly will be using MDN pet care again recommended to work colleagues and family friends awesome job guys thank you once again FERGUS
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.❤️
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 have used Sharon's services a number of times now. Cannot recommend a better sitter who knows how to look after double coated dogs. Highly recommend Sharon with many years of experience.
Sharon looked after our boy for 3 weeks while we were away. He came back happy and healthy so it was clear that he was well looked after during his stay. He also enjoyed the company of Teddy and other dogs. She was easy to get in touch with and promptly gave us updates when requested
Sharon and Jessica care for my two golden retrievers on a regular basis. The dogs now run in happily when they are dropped off. Sharon sends regular updates and photos. She is reliable and the dogs are well fed and exercised and given lots of affection. Sharon genuinely cares for all the pets that come into her care.
Sharon takes the best care of my 2 golden retriever girls. One has more anxiety in general but she loves going to GoldenPawz and runs in the door happily when we take her. We are so comfortable knowing they are in such good hands.
Sharon and Jessica have taken very good care of my dog. Sharon sent photos and updates regularly while we were away. Definitely recommending Golden Pawz Pet Sitting to our friends and family :)
I was recommended Golden Pawz by my cousin who said it was like dropping your dog over to a friend's house. Sharon and Jessica clearly love dogs and it was it was great to know our border collie Koby was having a nice time while we were away. The photo updates and messages from Sharon made us feel really comfortable that Koby was happy and being well looked after. We will definately be using Sharon again to look after our boy. Highly recommended!
Sharon and Jessica have been caring for Klaus (black and tan dachshund) for a few months now. They have special sausage dog play days and Klaus can't wait to visit! He is always very excited to leave the house and always returns home tired and satisfied. Thanks for all the care!
My dog Paris was well looked after by Sharon and Jessica for over a month recently. Paris had a great time and enjoyed her start. Both Sharon and Jessica showed great love for Paris. The regular communications and flexibility provided (with my travel plans changing) were greatly appreciated. I highly recommend Golden Paws for their pet sitting services. Paris is already looking forward to being back for a stay :) Thank you again Sharon and Jessica!
Our mini groodle Buddy loves going to stay with Sharon. He always comes home so happy and relaxed! We feel so comfortable leaving him behind now when we go away.
Sharon and Jessica take care of Dino often - and practically his second home. The service is flexible in case of unplanned changes, they are very communicative and provide plenty of updates during Dinos stay. Dino is always excited when I bring him over - I highly recommend Golden Paw!
Despite closing she still won’t return credits (for me $1200). Scammer. Website still In operation so be careful not to sign up.
My puppy Lottie absolutely LOVES her days at HoB. All the ladies take such great care of her, give her lots of cuddles and play all day! I love getting the Instagram updates and seeing how much fun she is having in a safe environment.
My dog Molly has been going to House of Barks 1-2 times a week for the last couple of months and she absolutely loves it. Being only 7 months old it’s been such a lifesaver for me to keep her entertained while I’m at work. She is always so excited to see all the lovely staff when I drop her off. Absolutely love all the Instagram stories too.
Soy, our whippet is a regular here at HoB! He always comes home absolutely exhausted and I love being able to watch him on their Insta stories throughout the day. The staff, Pixie in particular is so lovely and has a genuine care for Soy. Upon pick up we always get a run through of how his day was, his behaviours and how his separation anxiety is going. Highly recommend HoB!
Ted our Samoyed goes to House of Barks once a week. He’s made some great friends there and comes home happy and tired each time - which is great for us! The team there are attentive and friendly. Would highly recommend.
So pleased we made the decision to try out this place. Our boy gets lots of love and comes home happy and exhausted every time. I feel like he has fun, is safe and is being well looked after. The team shares regular insta story updates throughout the day too, which is a nice touch. Would highly recommend House of Barks.
Been sending my happy energetic dog to House of Bark weekly since start of July. Victoria and the team do such a great job of looking after all the dogs, and I live for the Instagram stories that they post throughout the day of all the dogs. If you're thinking about sending your furry friend in, check them out on Instagram and see how happy all the dogs are for yourself.
House of Barks has been great for my “special” little fella! Each time he has walked out a happy man and from the pictures posted it’s evident why! Also love how he has rest time that works for him and the belly rubs that he gets!
Nelson always comes home exhausted but happy. We know he’s well cared for and the staff at House of Barks care for him like he’s their own. Thanks team!
Ari my bordoodle absolutely loves her stays at HOB, we are also very grateful for how much of a workout she gets and the constant IG updates.
