Tina was a fantastic house/pet sitter for my cat Trixie - I can’t recommend her enough! She was very communicative and also self sufficient and I felt completely at peace with Trixie in her care. She took it upon herself to water my plants and also trimmed Trixie’s nails, which I always struggle with! She provided perfect company for Trixie, playing with her, brushing her, loving her and giving her daily medicine. She also left my apartment in perfect condition. I would gladly have Tina pet sit again. A 10/10 experience.

Lani is an excellent Pet Sitter and housesitter. Communication was easy, our pet Cleo appreciated her loving care. We came home to a relaxed and happy cat. I would happily ask Lani to housesit again.

Prashant and India were fantastic pets sitters for us. Both were dependable and were even kind enough to allow some service people into the home to do some repairs. Our dogs were well looked after and we got daily updates on how the dogs were doing. Prashant is very knowledgeable and gave us a few strategies to combat some negative behaviors that we were seeing with the dogs. Could not recommend them more. They will be missed.

Great pet care. The house was clean and tidy. The sitters had great communication. Would recommend again!
Caitlin
This was my first time using house sitters and Shanen and Ryan were wonderful. She sent me pictures of Calla and game me updates on Calla’s activities. She would be welcome to pet sit for me anytime!

Angie and her husband Joe were a great fit for our house and pet sitting needs! They kept in communication with us before our vacation started, and were able to arrive a little early so we could walk them through how various systems worked and where controls were located. Our dog bonded with Angie very quickly and I think he was hoping she would stay after we returned home :) We got regular updates and pet photos while we were traveling. Although we were out of cell phone range for several days, we never had a doubt that things at home would be just fine while they were there! They were also very flexible and understanding. Due to our flight schedule we arrived home in the middle of the night. Angie was able to feed and walk our dog, clean up and leave in the morning without waking us up! The house was left clean, the garden was thriving and our pup was happy. We are happy, and would be happy to have them back again as sitters anytime.

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!!

Janis is a wonderful person and also an incredible sitter -- we were very, very fortunate that she agreed to care for our beloved pets and rural log home for 3 days. We were confident that everything would be perfect – and it was. We returned to a home as clean and ordered as we had left it, inside and out. All plants were thriving; outdoor hanging baskets were blooming profusely. Most importantly, our beloved dog and 4 cherished cats had obviously been lovingly and attentively cared for. The koi were also active and happy. Janis is a “cat whisperer”. She is especially skilled and patient with shy felines, so we truly appreciated her patience and caring for our sweet Angie (with a semi-feral background). Janis immediately understood that Angie, despite her reclusiveness, craves affection and was able to start to earn her trust even with such limited time. Among Janis’ many gifts: she is a talented photographer and delighted us with frequent updates and photos of our furry children. They are so beautiful that we, with her kind permission, plan to include several in our zeewoi profile. Janis’ communications, reliability, self-sufficiency, and punctuality were exemplary, start to finish. We made a wonderful new friend and have already invited her back to sit again. If you are privileged enough to ever have Janis sit we are certain that you will be as delighted and happy as we are.

Jessica was an awesome pet sitter for my cat Fifi. She texted photos and updates everyday so I knew that Fifi was being well cared for. She was communicative and asked a lot of good questions to make sure she understood Fifi's needs. My home was equally as clean (if not more so) upon my return. I would highly recommend Jessica!

Neil and Anne have just sat for us for a second time, for a week. They are outstanding sitters in every way. Always punctual with communication and arrival. They both have responsible jobs and this is evident as they are both very organised. They care very much about the animals they look after. We were regularly sent updates, pictures and video clips of them, which is great to see when you are away. When we came home we were greeted by happy pets and an immaculately tidy house. We cannot recommend Neil and Anne enough. As far as we are concerned they are perfect housesitters! …...Hopefully they will come back and sit again soon!

We booked our dogs in for a few weeks while we went overseas. Both dogs were housed in the same suite and came out as happy and healthy as they went in. We also enrolled them in the weekly outdoor program and loved seeing the photos shared to the Facebook page. Our dogs were super happy (visibility in pics) and when being collected the staff commented on their personalities and it was evident that our dogs where popular with all the staff.. 🥰
Last week we left our Labrador here for the first time. By the look of the photos (on Facebook), he had the most wonderful time; especially with his enrichment time in the yard. You could see that he was very happy running around with new found friends. Thank you for taking such good care of him.
Thank you. First time we have left our fur baby Oscar. And we are just so happy with. The great, fantastic service. Great price for peace of mind, security, well nourished and nurtured care, picked up our boy smelling beautiful and clean. Photos provided everyday of his adventures with his new fur friends. And even spoilt on his birthday. Home now, resting from his holiday as well. Kindest Phil, Romy and Oscar.
What a fabulous place. I boarded my rescue kelpie for 7 weeks while I was on holidays overseas. The staff were very responsive to any requests for updates even sending me some photos. Freya was not only looked after but she was loved by all the staff. I would not hesitate to book her in again.
Our dog loves it here. Staff are always so lovely and well priced.
Mala was excited for her second drop off to the Top dog house pet resort. I can leave her here knowing she is taken care of. The staff are lovely, quick to respond to queries and they post photos of dogs periodically. ✨ My 3 year old energetic dog gets to share a room with another dog (which is lovely for her being a single pet at home) and also gets to run around and play in a group.I am so glad to have found this resort for Mala.🐕
Seemed good enough. Dogs seemed happy enough on pickup. Price is reasonable per day. But although they are transparent in their pricing information. I still think it is a bit cheeky to charge a full day stay when the dogs are picked up first thing in the morning and haven’t been fed etc. we dropped the dogs 8am Monday and collected 8am Saturday but were charged for 6 days. I think it should be a charge for each 24 hour period. Maybe something for management to consider. This is only reason for 3*. Otherwise would have been 5*
Very comfortable and well organised kennel. Listened to our requests for our senior dogs for an overnight stay and we collected two relaxed fur babies in the morning!
Can't ring through to talk to someone about costs, times, booking as a new client. Apparently only previous existing clients can enrol for bookings. I have to attend Geelong hospital for cancer treatment. Needing M to F for 3 weeks care for my pet girl. Doesn't look like this business interested with not being able to ring and internet site does not let new people apply and no info on prices. 🥴☹️
Comprehensive, dedicated, caring and highly professional boarding facility for our poodles. Very experienced and knowledgeable owners, and we can go away and know our pets are being cared for without us having to think it worry about.

Excellent dog day care facility behind Aldi and Bunnings in Torquay. It is a very large facility with huge indoor play grounds and individual partitions for rest time. The hygiene standards are excellent too. The staff are friendly, enthusiastic and very well-qualified. Five stars from me. Highly recommended.
Furry Beach Bums is amazing!! The facilities are incredible and the staff are even better. They're great with the dogs and any time I've had a catch up with Amelia, James or Delaney they're so wonderful and take the time to explain how our Pup went that day. We've also had James dog sit for us through Furry Beach Bums and he was such a wonderful sitter, sending updates and left our Pup happy and our house immaculate. Can't speak highly enough of the team at Furry Beachbums. Highly recommend!
I took my spoodle (Willow) to furry beach bums, it being her first time in a doggy day care and her being a generally anxious dog, I voiced my concerns to the staff. They were very attentive and noted down all that she required. The staff members were really friendly and passionate about their workplace. With Willow not being overly sociable, I was thrilled to see her tail wagging as she ran around and played with the other dogs. I feel at ease knowing she has a safe space to go to outside of her home as well as learning a lot from her experience there. Thank you guys!!
This is a fantastic facility. I had the pleasure of taking a tour and meeting the Furry Beach Bums team. They are truly exceptional at what they do. You can tell the staff really love their work and have a lot of care and compassion for their furry visitors. Highly recommended!
Great doggy daycare! The staff are great, they have great communication and really care for the doggies and have great skills and knowledge. My pups had a great time and made lots of friends human and doggos. They got a report card at the end which was really cute. Lots of parking around so easy to pull up and drop off. I’d highly recommend this.
Fantastic facility and an amazing team! Highly recommend. They have helped to ensure our new rescue pup is learning how to socialise in a controlled and safe environment, all the while having the best time.
Gus absolutely loves every day he spends at Furry Beach Bums. He adores all of the staff. He comes homes completely exhausted but so very happy. It's wonderful to be able to leave Gus in such good hands and know that he's enjoying every minute. Thanks to everyone at Furry Beach Bums!
Scout runs in the door every morning! She has the best time with her friends! The staff are so kind and we know Scout is in great hands.
Furry beach bums is the best doggy day care that my little Jack russel absolutely loves, the staff there are so amazing and knowledgeable of everything , My little dog Elvis can't wait to get there his tail wags so fast all the way there , he loves Amelia so much , couldn't recomend it more
I can’t speak highly enough of Furry Beach Bums 🩷 The staff are amazing with my baby Mahalo, she is always so excited in the car when we get near day care and runs out to the door so she can go see all her friends.. The care they give is second to none and the enrichment activities and games keep Mahalo entertained and happy.. Amelia is the best and the other staff are so friendly and loving towards all the dogs that attend.. It’s always a pleasure walking in and seeing how happy and playful all the dogs are with each other and how much they all love the staff 🩷🩷
