Pet Sitters in Port Melbourne

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

Our second time using Drop-in dog care with Nikita while we are away and we are so glad we found her. Our dog Jack is 15 years old so for Nikita to stop in to feed and walk Jack each morning and night knowing he is comftourble in his own home being spoilt is such a relief. Nikita sends regular updates with videos and photos and takes him in the doggy van to the park and I can tell he is having the best time. I feel confident and trusting in her care and will continue to use her services whenever we go away and highly recommend anyone to also. Thankyou Nikita

I connected with Nikita at the Doghouse because I was needing someone who would be able to check in on my puppy a couple of times a day while he was growing and developing. From the get go, she has been fantastic. Communication is always clear and consistent, with regular photo updates of your dogs having a great time! Dogs are walked in smaller groups, and the doghouse have been able to accomodate last minute changes/walks when needed. I now have my working therapy dog walked by Nikita as well on her days off! Nikita and the Doghouse go above and beyond to care for you and your furry friends - could not recommend highly enough :)

We've been so impressed with the services provided from the Doghouse. Nikita's knowledge and skill is quite incredible. We recently adopted a rescue dog which has had some challenges but the training, advice and time provided by Nikita has made everything so simple. Couldn't recommend her services more highly.

Nikita from The Doghouse has been such a great support since we adopted our dog. He had significant separation anxiety issues and we were having a really hard time settling and training him. Nikita came over to our place totally prepared and provided us with a training plan (or bible) and an assortment of treats, tips and tricks for us. She's was easily contactable for follow up questions. You can see she is truely dedicated, full of knowledge and has a love for all dogs. Highly recommended. ❤️

Nikita was so helpful with toilet training our new puppy. We had great success and would highly recommend her! It is so obvious that Nikita loves what she does

We have two very demanding and bouncy Australian Bulldogs and after a traumatic experience with a kennel, with lasting repercussions, I was not prepared to kennel them again. The Doghouse Pet Services and provided excellent personalized in house care and I was really happy with the relaxed happy dogs at the end of their baby sitting. Thank you.

Nikita an amazing human being. She is very full of life, love and very trusted. I've known her for almost a year and I high recommend her services

Pawsibly the best service my dog has ever experienced! Great communication and customer service and most importantly a genuine care and love for my dog. Would highly recommend.

One of the best pet services Nationwide in my opinion!

Tina and her team of housesitters have been looking after our dogs and chickens while we're away for as long as we can remember! Always professional, responsive and helpful, they keep us updated regularly when we're away and we always come back to a spotless house! Highly recommend!

We have used Platinum Pets a few times now (from weekend trips to the most recent a three week holiday) and can’t recommend them highly enough - our two cocker spaniels and home were well looked after.

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.

Best daycare in the west! They are always expecting my dog by name when he arrives and he has such a great time. He’s high energy so I know can be a handful but they’ve been proactive in working with him and creating an environment that works for him (and their other dogs). Online logistics are great, super easy to book days and check packages.

I almost hate to review this amazing business because I don’t really want it to get any busier than it is, but I feel like I owe this wonderful team some credit where it is due. Our dog goes here at least once a month to get her energy out and connect with her doggo friends. The staff here are skilled, very organised, careful about the temperament of each dog and the group they play with, and are careful to assess each dog before it is given the green light to attend ongoing. It’s a little expensive, but we know our dog will be taken care of and have the time of her life each time she goes. A wonderful bonus is the photos taken each day so that you can see just how fun your dog is having!! Thanks lovely team for being so great!

Ginger's introduction was a happy half day. The photos and video sent showed me she was relaxed, happy and certainly not showing any nervousness being among a group of dogs, She was happy to see me, but not frantic to leave. She slept all afternoon! She's definitely going to be a regular!

We love sending our fur baby here! He always has a great time! We love the daily photo updates too 🤗. The staff are super friendly and helpful. The team always do their best to accommodate your needs! We wouldn’t send him anywhere else!

These guys are brilliant. They are genuinely passionate about what they do and take great care of Chewy. We started on one day a week and he now goes three days each and every week because he enjoys it so much. Cannot recommend them highly enough.

Most awesome doggy day care around! Our puppa cannot wait to go, she is so excited when we pull up out front, which says so much about the brilliant team at urban paws. Genuine quality care and love.

Hi Urban Paws Yarraville Crew, Service at Urban Paws is exceptional the girls are all super welcoming and friendly. I love how images are posted on a daily on facebook being able to see what my furbaby Archie is up to. Archie loves day and is always content after a day with Urban Paws Yarraville Doggy Daycare. Urban Paws also make the experience personal by saying who Archie played with during day. Thanks guys for your on going customer service and kindness love Diana and Archie xx

I am very happy with the service. The staff is amazing and you can see that they truly care for your dog's well being. We definitely recommend to anyone who would want their fur baby taken care of.

This is just a happy place, for dogs & humans ! Great service - our Polly gets collected twice a week, for fun times with all her mates. When she first started, the staff took time to teach her some basic behavioral skills, and that has set us all up for a great relationship ! Videos of her play time sent to our phones and lots of attention - Polly loves it ! For all dogs - Big & Small.

This doggy daycare is amazing, our little furry boy is obsessed. Lots of other dogs to play with. I love how they post photos so you can see how much fun your pooch is having! Highly recommend this dog daycare.

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.

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!

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!

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.

Started taking my two boys to Diggiddy Doggy Daycare in South Melbourne. Its only been few visits but they seem to be liking it so far, playing with and meeting new friends, and building their confidence. Loving the report cards after each visit letting us know what they've been up to ☺️ I look forward though for photo update to see my boys faces actually enjoying their time (we're used to be flooded with photo updates back from the old daycare which was really great), and it will be good to have something to show my friends whenever they ask which facility I take them to.

I have had such a pleasant experience with Diggiddy Dog Daycare in South Melbourne from the moment I called and spoke with the lovely Emma to visiting each week with all of the friendly staff that make you feel so welcome. I am a first time dog mum with a husky (Betty) who is a rescue and suffers with very bad desperation anxiety. Each visit my baby gets more and more comfortable and confident thanks to the amazing team of professionals who care, nurture and encourage her. I am so excited to continue our visits and watch her grow and flourish. Not only does my baby Betty have a pleasant experience (she is always smiling so big in her photos) but the team make me feel so welcome. They remember my name, greet me with a smile and excitement as they share how Betty went at her visit. Thanks to all the amazing staff members. Betty and I truly love being apart of Diggiddy 🩷

I have always felt emotionally positive about leaving my dog with the staff at Diggidy Doggy Day Care. They personalise my dog’s experience and she always comes home with a big smile on her face as well as being well entertained and ready for a big rest at night!

This is the best daycare for pups and dogs. Harley (our 2 year old TT) has been coming here for nearly a year. He started off as a shy (and sometime reactive) boy, but quickly grew in confidence. He LOVES the team (who are all huge dog lovers) - Stef, Whitney and the groomers - and especially LOVES the amazing dogs. I have peace of mind knowing he is being looked after as the team match the right energy dogs together. I highly recommend this amazing place.

My puppy loves Diggity Dog, staff are soooo good! always feel comfortable leaving him there in good hands...report cards are a laugh a minute..picture attached of how he ends up after a day at Diggity! thanks crew!

They don't return calls, Tried to book the lovely groomer ( she is wonderful) but office staff don't follow up.

My puppy Bryn has been coming here once a week for a few weeks now and he’s always very excited whenever we come in through the door, so I’m confident that he likes the service. From my perspective the staff are always an absolute dream to speak to and all clearly have a deep love and respect for dogs. They also post pictures of your dog on a private group so that you can see them and you get a little report of your dogs day which is a nice touch. Right now I feel very confident leaving my dog with the team and hope to be a satisfied customer for years to come. EDIT I’ve been taking Bryn for a year now and he’s still scrambling to get in the building as soon as we arrive so he must still be enjoying it. The team are consistent with their attentive approach to customer service and I couldn’t feel more comfortable leaving my dog with them. Cheers guys.

Coming to Diggiddy is Monty's favourite thing to do. He just loves everyone there, staff and doggie companions. He tells everyone all about it on the car journey in, and can hardly wait to get in the door and start having fun. He enthusiastically joins in all activities and his behaviour and socialisation have improved greatly during the years he has attended Diggiddy. It is a great outlet for his boundless energy, and then he comes home and chills out, as you can see! Thanks for being there everyone at Diggiddy. xxx

My little girl Izzy loves it here. The staff are very friendly and Izzy loves them so much. Anywhere else I leave her she cries when I walk away. When we arrive at diggity she doesn’t even look back. She has a lot of energy and can be a handful but the staff are never bothered by it, they seem to love her even more for it! She’s a more settled, happy dog after she has been there for a day. Highly recommend to anyone looking for dog day care.

The first time my little Pippi's day care experience at the ripe old age of 11! She was a little timid at first and didn't really join in. The staff had her in a area on her own and slowly introduced new friends to her, whilst she got used to the environment and was not overwhelmed. I am pleased to say that after just two visits, Pip is very happy to attend. The staff are very caring, friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend Diggidy!

Our beautiful fur babies stayed for 10 days before their flight overseas to move to our new home … for two young socially anxious pups one of which is scarred of all men (apart from my husband) they absolutely loved their stay and were clearly so well cared for and loved !!! The pet postcards we regularly received were so detailed , reassuring & beautiful … Our dogs stayed with an independent dog sitter a few months ago and were treated appallingly , we actually got abusive calls & messages from the lady every day telling us our (at the time 6 month old puppy) was the worst dog she’d ever met and that she hated him and that he had a terrible personality and was the most terribly trained dog she’d ever met , she even told us to get on a 14 hour flight and come home a week early with our 8 month old child before receiving our visas because she hated him so much … our experience with the Pet Hotel couldn’t have been any further from that , actually they described our little man as well mannered, loving and so many other things that describe his personality perfectly & instead of tears each morning we had big smiles and warm hearts … our beautiful girl came out of her shell completely over the duration of her stay & we were told that staff loved getting to see her sweet little personality flourish in their presence … they spent so much time making friends with lots of other dogs of the same & similar breed and size & we honestly couldn’t recommend sending your fur babies here more !!! So glad we did … I don’t think they would have done as well as they did on their first ever flight if it wasn’t for their stay with this company …Thank you to everyone who cared for Yuna & Tidus from start to finish 😊

Great experience booking online and welcoming when we dropped off George. Although they didn't have a webcam, they posted a photo of out pooch with a smile from ear to ear. I Highly recommend them. Pick up and drop off times are well communicated and fair. They made the whole experience positive and looked after our old boy, George with the care expected. Thanks Pets Hotel Team....

The Pets Hotel in Port Melbourne has been my ‘go to’ place to send my pets to when I’m away. First Jay the Sheltie, now Anzac the cat. They have taken the time & care to get to know them and make them comfortable. They have always returned happy & healthy with a summary of how they got along during their time there. Good to know, when you’re away, that they will get the care & attention they need and any action required. Highly Recommend.

We love The Pets Hotel for the amazing team and how they care for our dog. We always return, knowing our dog will be happy and safe in this hotel. Great customer service, friendly, welcoming atmosphere, and happy staff. Clean place and has so many things to offer to dogs and cats.

Great place to leave your pet during your time away. We were gone for 22 days and the staff feedback was excellent. We have a somewhat unsocial dog and upon checkout, we were informed she took to one staff member in particular and looked forward to playtime and did very well. This is her third stay at the hotel and the feedback was encouraging.

I use Pets Hotel all the time for my dog, Carlos, and I couldn’t be happier with the care they provide. The staff genuinely love Carlos, and it’s clear they treat him like family. The facilities are always clean and welcoming. Carlos always comes home happy and well-rested. If you’re looking for a pet hotel where your dog will be treated with love and attention, I highly recommend Pets hotel

I've been trusting Steve & his team with my fur-kids for the last few years and I can honestly say I wouldn't leave them anywhere else. They know exactly how to cope with their very different personalities and give me reports at the end of every stay which really puts my mind at ease. I can't wait to book them into the new suites coming soon! Would recommend without hesitation.

easy access and parking though no security such as fence or gate if your dog was to escape from you in the car park. Nice reception area with wonderful check in people. Collecting the dogs was a piece of cake, straight forward with no fuss. Both dogs were happy, healthy looking, well fed!, and freshly bathed. Will use their services again if needed. Thank you for a seamless experience

Absolutely delighted with the care provided for our border collie Bernie. The team were amazing in providing excellent customer service at all stages, keeping us informed of how Bernie was going via email, and going above and beyond with extra attention to ensure her stay was a good one. Thank you to all the team at The Pets Hotel.

Our Samoyed “buddy” drags us in every time we take him for his weekly day care or when he is boarding there. On day care days he is so tired after reaching home that he sleeps straightaway. Buddy has been going to pets hotel since he was 3months old and now he is almost 1. Staff has slowly introduced him to others dogs as he is in the face wanting to play 100% of the time and daycare at pets hotel has taught him some manners on how to interact without getting growled at. After his recent boarding we noticed pets hotel has carefully managed his play and sleep times to not get him super tired when we went to pick him after a week and his double coat looked in good condition after the complimentary bath included with the boarding. Staff gave us positive feedbacks about his stay there and buddy had no stomach issues with the food provided in boarding. Great place to leave your furry friends in a professional setting without worrying about their well being and the pet sitter cancelling at the last moment.

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.

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 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!!!!!

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 :)

Anne has been part of our "family" since we bought home our gorgeous puppy home in June 2020. She was a saviour while we were in isolation at various times, including trips to the vet for us. Rocket absolutely adores Anne, and has the best time with his 4-legged friends. He goes on group walks at least once a week, and up to 3 times/wk - and comes home so happy and exhausted.

Anne has been an absolute delight to deal with since we first met when training our new border collie puppy. We booked Anne for a 4 hour 1:1 session and it set us up with the right tools to ensure we had little Jerry set up to be successful in his training. We then signed up for group walks (playgroup) and we now have Jerry in Tuesday - Friday. He absolutely LOVES the socialising and making new friends. It’s his fav part of the week, and you can see his excitement when Anne picks him up each day!

Anne is a caring, kind and thoughtful dog walker. She genuinely cares for the dogs and understands each one has is an individual with likes and dislikes. Our dog was a little anxious with other dogs but going out regularly with Anne has increased her confidence and happiness. I cannot recommend Anne enough. She speaks fluent dog!

We had Anne in a couple of weeks ago to do a 3 hour course to teach myself and my daughter how to train our 20 week old Cavoodle called Sadie. Anne was absolutely fabulous with the techniques she taught us, the knowledge and patience she has was amazing (especially with a 14 year old who wasn’t very interested in learning). She ended up spending 7 hours all up and the notes she sent were excellent as I’d forgotten a lot of the information from the day. She had a naturally kind and positive way with Sadie and you can just tell how much she loves her job. I have been putting all her training into action and it’s working like a treat with Sadie. I would highly recommend Anne to anyone looking for a trainer, walker or pet sitter as she’s totally awesome and I would absolutely trust her with our beautiful fur baby. Rebekah Flood Port Melbourne

Anne has been walking and helping train our 2 German shepherds for a number of months and has been amazing with them. They are always so happy to see her. Anne's communication from day one has been prompt and professional. I could not recommend her more.

Anne is fantastic - she’s reliable, knowledgable, responsible and caring. We have a sometimes-nervous doggo (Bonnie) who Anne has helped through both an obedience session and group dog walks. I can’t express how much, at every point, Anne has gone above and beyond in providing ongoing advice and support that has all genuinely helped us to understand Bonnie. I love seeing how happy Bonnie is on the group walks from the many pictures and videos that Anne shares during the session. We are always relaxed knowing Bonnie is in Anne’s capable care. If anyone is looking for any kind of doggo support/care/advice - Bonnie and I would recommend Anne 100%.

I'd booked a family holiday over the Xmas period and Anne was our saving grace. She took care of our 2 Cavoodles with daily walks, a few treats and lots of cuddles. Anne was frequently in touch sending photos and videos whilst we were away, it really was reassuring to know the dogs were in great care and happy during our absence. There's no doubting Anne's incredible love of animals. She's super friendly, very professional and our dogs just love her. Highly recommended.

Anne has been a great help with our less than easy to manage puppy. Our chosen breed has been a handful from the day she arrived, we love her but jeepers! Anne's calm demeanour and her deep knowledge has helped us through the first year. We have implemented a range of Anne's suggested management strategies and these have made the situation better. We have no hesitation in recommending the Queen of the Hounds business and intend engaging Anne again in the future.

Anne has been a godsend for our rescue, little Astro. He has anxiety and missed out on some essential education as a pup. Anne has house sat for us several times & deals with his quirks happily. He has grown & is learning how to dog as part of a weekly group walk. Highly recommended

Could not be happier with Queen of the Hounds. She formed a great - instant - relationship with our Labrador and she kept us informed of his adventures through videos. Anne clearly loves dogs and we felt extremely comfortable handing our boy over to her. Highly recommend!
