Janis was great. Pup loved her and was very happy. I’d have her back in a minute. Great w/pup andmy pup
We really enjoyed sitting at Catherine's wonderful home. Steed was a great dog in every way, the chickens were easy to look after and great layers too. Catherine was very helpful with all the information we needed. An all-round excellent sit that we would definitely recommend. Thank-you!
Herbert and Sandra could not have been more warm and welcoming towards us, they were communicative and generous with their home. Sophie is a very cute and sweet dog. She loves being outdoors and exploring new places, and she is so friendly and well behaved. This was an amazing and comfortable experience.
Claire and Colin were welcoming and generous hosts and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in their lovely home & garden. Tugga (a gentle giant) and Tash (sweet & gentle lady) enjoyed keeping us company and having their walks in the local neighbourhood. The notes about the dog's routines and how things operate in the house and garden, were very clear. Communication with Claire was excellent. Hurtsbridge is a lovely part of outer Melbourne. Louise and Jamie.
A pleasant housesit experience. Michelle greeted us and gave clear instructions, and we had good communications via text during the stay. The kitties were friendly, playful, and easy to care for. The apartment is on the 20th floor with great city views and a pleasant balcony. Easy walking into the loop and major tourist attractions. We appreciated the opportunity. Thank you.
I recently did a lovely short sit with Pompom and Ginger. Steve, Nikky and I met online the day before the sit. They did a conducted tour of the house which proved to be very useful when I arrived. Communication was excellent both before and during the sit, despite the fact that they had awful connectivity where they were in the Lake District. The cats were lovely individually with both of them up for cuddles. However, you do need to keep an eye on them when they are in the same room together as there are almost daily spats. Apart from that, they are very easy to take care of as they have free access to a cat flap, and come and go as they please. The house is very clean and comfortable, as well as being really interesting with lots of books and artwork on the walls. There is something new to discover every day. The house is within easy reach of the city centre or out into the Peak District. As far as shopping is concerned, I found the most amazing foodie supermarket quite close by - Ozmen International is a huge warehouse-style store with food from all over the world. The selection of exotic fruit and veg is superb! All in all, this is a highly recommended sit, and I would be very happy to go back if dates coincide. Thank you, Steve, Nikki, Pompom and Ginger!

I want to gate keep just how wonderfully the ladies here conduct their business so I can always get my own pup a spot but it just wouldn’t be fair. My golden retriever (big dogs love a bit of daycare time too) comes home reluctantly every visit because she’s had such a great time and she sits by the door in the morning waiting for her next day of play. A clean, friendly and enriching environment that I’m so chuffed to have found. 10/10 recommend - 5 stars isn’t enough.
Dash Dogz Daycare is a great place for the fur babies to play, socialise and have the best day ever instead of being sad and bored when they are home alone. I love that Dash Dogz posts so many videos and photos throughout the day so we can be more than sure they are getting the best treatment. My puppies absolutely adore it! They are always exited to get in and exhausted at the end of the day. Thanks Dash Dogz crew 🐶🐶
Couldn’t be happier with my decision to send Daphne here, At first it was just because there was maintenance at my house and I wanted her to be comfortable. But I’ve just been so happy with the Dash Dogz team and I love hearing about all the friends Daphnes been making.
Amazing! My 2 puppies absolutely love it here. Clean, fresh, inviting space. The staff are just the best. My 2 boys have also just completed their in-house training with Peachy Paws - such a great experience. The training was tailored to their individual needs, and plenty of resources to continue and build at home.
Our mini dachshund absolutely loves going to daycare!! The Dash Dog team are the best around, and genuinely care about all the dogs (and human customers). They’re super friendly and always willing to help out with any doggy questions. I love that they post plenty of photos on their socials, so we can follow along on how our puppy's day is. They also offer grooming and training! You can pick up your doggo up with a fresh cut and more behaved than when you dropped them off ☺️ would 100% recommend this place!
I took my corgi to this day care for the first time, and I was pleasantly surprised! The staff were caring and attentive, and they made sure my furry friend felt right at home. The facilities were clean and well-maintained, and I appreciated the updates they provided throughout the day. My corgi seemed happy and tired (in a good way) when I picked him up, which tells me he had a great time playing with the other dogs. I'll definitely be bringing him back!
The team at Dash Dogz Daycare are amazing. They understand the needs of your dog and are always willing to answer any questions you have. As someone who works in the office during the week, the team gives you the peace of mind that your dog is having a great time socializing and playing. They genuinely love your dog and go above and beyond. Definitely would recommend to anyone who is thinking about trying daycare.
The team at Dashdogz are amazing. It’s a wonderful clean space and they update their instagram stories all day so you can see your pooch playing and can keep updated on how they are. Willis loves going to Dashdogz!
Our dog adores her weekly visits to Dash Dogz. She’s always well cared for, makes plenty of friends, and often falls asleep on the ride home! The team at Dash Dogz are incredibly passionate and welcoming, consistently going the extra mile to ensure a fantastic day for our pup. We appreciate following our dogs day through their stories on Instagram.
Our experience with Dash Dogz has been phenomenal! They take such good care of our pooch, hes made so many new friends! He has had great grooming experiences and the style cut was the best he’s had (Australia's Cobber Dog) and well priced!
Emily is a god send. We’re excited to have found her to look after our Tilly overnight. We were booked into a two-day conference and didn’t want to leave her home alone so she overnighted with Emily and we had a great time knowing she was in Emily’s loving care. The onboarding process was easy and very thorough. Emily requested a meet and greet beforehand so we all knew what to expect and it was clear that Tilly felt right at home as soon as we dropped her off. I highly recommend Emily, her attention to detail is incredible. No question goes unanswered and she thinks of everything! We’ll be regulars!
Finding then meeting Emily from Tailored Pet Sitting meant we had someone very special to look after our precious 18 month old dachshund Missy. She was in a safe, clean and pet appropriate environment receiving the care she was used to at home. Emily treated her as if her own but respected our preferences in regards to Missy's likes, dislikes, habits and routines. Emily strived to keep Missy happy, exercised and when required, stimulated through special dog puzzles and toys. Missy slept well too. On our return, Missy was very excited to see us but still went over to Emily for a pat and cuddle. We were more than happy with the whole experience and would highly recommend Tailored Pet Sitting for those who want a home away from home and individual care and attention for their precious pet. Thank you again Emily.
Emily from Tailored Pet Sitting is amazing! She takes wonderful care of my old boy Jasper, who has ailments in his old age. Emily goes over and above to care for him, with such attention to detail. He feels at home and is so happy. I also receive updates on his stay which is lovely and puts my mind to rest. Tailored Pet Sitting also have cared for my daughter's dog, a Golden retriever and she couldn't be happier with the care he received also! I 100% recomend Emily to care for your dog/pet, she is very professional with so much care for animals in general. Thank you Emily, you are wonderful! Carina Scarborough
Emily looked after our boy Morgan for nearly a week recently. She was very welcoming to us to meet prior to dropping Morgan off and was easy to deal with during the whole process. Morgan came home very happy and relaxed. Would happily use again and recommend
Emily was wonderful to work with. She looked after my dog so well, sent me regular photo updates and always took him for a daily walk. He’s a really high energy Jack Russell so it was great to know that he was getting his energy out! The booking process was also really straightforward and it was a great price.
Emily was amazing with our two fluff balls. I felt confident that they were in a safe and loving home with her. She kept us informed with photos and details of their day. She went out of her way to help progress training goals too. We 100% recommend Tailored Pet Sitting and will leave our babies with Emily anytime we go away.
Emily is just fabulous! Our doggies absolutely love when they go for a sleepover. One is particularly anxious and Emily is just brilliant with him.
We had a fantastic experience with Tailored Pet Sitting. Emily came to our rescue when we needed a sitter for our dog last minute and took such great care of him. I left on our trip knowing he would be in very good hands. We also had plenty of updates and photos along the way and returned to a happy and healthy boy
This was the first time leaving my 8 month old puppy so I was nervous but Emily was fantastic and kept him well entertained. She was reassuring and confident with my very busy boy. She kindly sent me several photos. I will certainly be reaching out to Emily in the future
Emily, from Tailored Pet Sitting looked after our cavoodle, Harvey at her home for 10 days while we were on holiday internationally. Harvey was extremely happy and well looked after. I would have no hesitation in using Tailored Pet Sitting again for future occurrences where we are unable to take Harvey with us.
I have a 6month old German Shepherd who has completed puppy and obedience training. Im not new to dog training and have quite a bit experience, but I have been struggling with her reactive walking when coming across other dogs. a 1 hour session with Daniel and i see the light at the end of the tunnel. The level of care, service, the advice and videos provided post session has been incredible. 10/10 recommend and i will be using them again and again.
Morgan goes above and beyond to make sure all the fur babies have an amazing time! I love knowing that my girl is having a ball while I’m at work. Highly recommend Mad Dogs if you’re looking for a doggy daycare style adventure for your dog that requires nothing on your part - no having to drop or pick up your dog! Morgan does that all for you! Very stoked I found Mad Dogs and Morgan!
Our 2 dogs absolutely love Morgan! They eagerly wait by the door for her arrival, when Morgan arrives they almost kick down the door to get to the van! Morgan is highly respected in our family, and we appreciate her advise and experience she brings to helping us with Awesome Archer and Ever ready Ricardo.
A fantastic service for north side Brizvegas doggos! My kelpie X loves her adventures with this wonderful team and always comes back exhausted from her walks, having made new friends. Morgan, Chris and the team always try to make the schedule work and the door-to-door pick-up and drop-off has been so convenient. Great value for a happy (tired!) dog at the end of the day 👍🏼
Morgan and the crew are absolutely amazing with my Millie. They treat her as if she were their own. She is beyond excited when they arrive to collect her for her play dates with all her friends. She loves them completely. Cannot recommend them enough
I’m so happy with Kayleigh at Mad Dogs. Firstly, she got in touch so promptly when I filled out the online form, and is always so lovely and keeps me posted about her walks with my Argos. I feel secure and happy knowing he’s getting a good walk, especially off leash time, and it’s such a highlight in my day to check Instagram and see him and the other doggies loving it. Completely recommend, whenever we need walks now and in future I wouldn’t go to anyone else.
Kayleigh from Mad Dogs & Englishmen Moreton Bay is amazing 😍 Milo has been going on his adventures with her for a few months now after the vet said he needed to loose quite a few kilos . He has slimmed down now and has so much energy, and looks out of the window with excitement waiting for the van to arrive to pick him up. I highly recommend Kayleigh to anyone who is looking for a dog walker. Thank you so much 🐾 🐶
Sorry, but Isn’t nudgee beach an off leash dog beach? Unsure why you’d choose to have lunch in that area with dogs running around? 🤔 Surely there are heaps of better ‘human only’ beaches / areas for a picnic. Of course dogs running around and playing happily would come to investigate if food is there, but can I honestly say, the Mad Dogs walkers (especially Ivana, who trains my dog and walks him at Nudgee Beach OFF LEASH DOG AREA, is an exceptional trainer and utterly professional. There is no way she and her colleague were laughing at you. Why would you think they would? Are you funny? Honestly, so quick to jump online and assassinate someone’s reputation… very sad, and undeserved. Mad dogs are fab. Ivana is fab. Don’t picnic on a dog beach!
I sat at nudgee beach with my family for lunch. Two ladies walking with otherdogs and one big dog came to us eat a lot foods. Two ladies were laughing at us. They don’t care and won’t come to get this dog. It’s their job to make sure it’s safe incase what if this dog attack someone.
Kayleigh is a true professional. She is reliable and very trustworthy. I can tell that my dog has a lot of fun with her and I would definitely recommend her to all my friends and family. Thanks for looking after Tara so well Kayleigh. Keep up the awesome work.
I came across this service while looking for local kennels on the Gold Coast, and i am so glad that i did. Pawshake is a brilliant alternative to putting your loved fur family member into kennels often with dire results. Not because they are awful but because they just dont give them the attention that they are used to, and they become distressed. I found Amelia through Pawshake and having Jack home stay with her was such a wonderful experience. She looked after Jack so well, sent photos of him in the home environment and on his walks and kept us informed of how he was doing. Jack will never be going back into kennels again. Thank you Pawshake for creating such a wonderful app.
Great App, and so far the best. Quick reply within 2 hours, really friendly people around you to take care of your Fur family, and you can only know via this App. Found a sitter located 8 min from my house, and what a great finding, Lisa is so nice and flexible with arrangements, and my little sweet Cally was so comfortable, found her laying with Lisa on her sofa, so relax and happy. I cant said enough what great experience both of us had - it was wonderful. Thank you for building up this app, and selecting great sitters like Lisa. THANK YOU Lisa, see you next time.
Pawshake is a great service . We found Di and her wonderful family to have our very spoilt and loved sausage dog Frankie. As it was the first time leaving him I was very nervous. But di and her family treated him so well and I loved getting all the photos and updates of him . Frankie had the best time with them all and I now have no worries about ever leaving him with them again.
Awesome App,very good sitters ready to accommodate your pet, they really took great care ,user friendly app ,one can find sitters all across Australia. Super communications will make your pet feel at home. Every Pet Parent must have.
This is such a great app and service; can't recommend it enough. I've used it twice and the sitter I got is fantastic! I've had too many things go wrong in the past when having to take my pets to boarding accommodation. But after using this service, my pets are happier staying in their own environment and eating their own normal food and not breaking that routine. One of my pets is 17 and really cannot break that routine or switch of food because it will make him sick. The care and communication with the sitter was fabulous. The report cards are so good too. I'll be using Pawshake from now on.
Overall, we were a little hesitant to allow someone into our home to look after our Cavoodle while we were traveling. Pleasingly we found the website and overall set up quite good and though we had a few people cancel on us we did meet a lady who was lovely and did an amazing job looking after our dog. We'll be using this service again when required and that's probably the best compliment we can make for the service. It would be good if they could make a police clearance mandatory to be a sitter.
Holy Smokes Our sitter was amazing with the amount of care and effort afford to our little FurBabies, she ensured we'd recieve daily updates via text and even sent through photos of them. We will definitely be utilising these services again as the previous mob we went through completed the bare minimum as well as informing us that we would get daily updates to which none were afford and we even returned how to atleast a weeks worth of dirt litter trays. Our sitter was absolutely outstanding from PawShake, they were a local to so it made the whole ordeal so much easier on all parties, they ensured out babies were happy, well fed, entertained, and ensured they were not plotting any mischievous schemes during our departure from them. Great Commpany, Would %1000 recommend PawShake to anyone looking for pet sitters.
Using Pawshake, we found a brilliant pet sitter, who not only fed our fur babies, but also sent us photos of every visit. Definitely would recommend this service.
Incredible app and service provided.Validating of pet carers is reassuring and the commitment I found in the carer for my furbabies was second to none. Combined with the tips and advice from the app, this was the best experience I have ever had finding, meeting and hiring a carer for my pets. Thank you Pawshake Team!
We have been able to have a holliday with knowing our dog is so well cared for. Aiya is a rescue dog and it is the 1st time she stays with Cheryl after being in shelters. We choose for pawshake as we wanted the best for her. The app is easy to use and includes booking, payment,...We had regular, open communication with Cheryl. We highly advise Pawshake! Yves & Bernie
Love this Pet Motel! When we drop our Dog off, he is always well looked after and is treated like a rock star! Thank you to all the staff as you don't get enough recognition for all the hard work you do look after our pets. Thank You Ps: Buddy says Woof! (Thanku)
Highly recommend! We picked our dogs up this morning after spending 6 days and they were very happy, clean and smelling lovely. We could see that they were well looked after. This will be the only boarding kennel we will use from now on, we (and our doggies) are very happy with the care they received.
Recommendable . I am really happy for attention and care my boys Maxi and Blackie receive here , I bring them once a week for the day care. Thanks
Absolutely love it here❤️! Recommend booking with them if they have availability. I think the only drawback is that they are extremely busy during holidays. With such a reasonable price, they provide outstanding service, even including a shower for the pooch! The pick up is also quite ceremonial by watching your fur friend running to you!
All of the ladies we dealt with here were lovely and our pooch was in great shape after a 7 night stay. She was clean and hadn't lost any weight despite being a fussy eater at times. She'd also had her eye drops daily which is better care than she gets at home sometimes! Thanks Brisbane Pet Motel, we'll be back for sure.
This is the best dog kennel. I have 2 small dogs and have been taking them here for just over a year - since moving to Northside of Brisbane. One of my dogs has glaucoma and allergies to food. I never have to stress about his needs to because they take care of it. I bring the eye drops and they supply food for him. My dogs love going there.
Teddy Sparks has been coming for many years to Brisbane Pet Motel very regularly. He finds the staff very caring and friendly. He is very happy knowing that he will be looked after to the highest standard with plenty of human and furry friends along the way 🐕 …
My dog goes here for daycare and boarding and LOVES it. The staff are great and super friendly, the prices are very reasonable and I know Bella gets a good run and socialised well there. I have looked at other boarding kennels but they always charge extra for social activities and don’t cater as much to the dog temperament as in housing them with other friendly dogs so I prefer to keep her here when we go away as I know she will get a lot of time with other dogs and lots of playtime. You won’t get updates or boujee ‘hotel’ rooms if that’s what you’re after, but your dog will get a lot of outdoor play and fun, with lots of love and care from the staff.
Great service and excellent experience. We left our Groodle with Lucy & the team, and I was very happy with the whole process. I can see they looked after him well. Will be using them again when needed!
They have looked after our dog for the last ten years while we are on holidays and we couldn't ask for a better place to send her. Friendly service and they always get back to us if we have questions. Now that Pickles is an older dog they take extra care. Recommended.
Ilona is an amazing trainer, she has really transformed our Belgian Shepherd Goose. She took him from a dog who had fear and aggression issues, who was very difficult to handle in public and would attack other animals unprovoked and transformed him into a safe, confident and mostly obedient dog. More importantly Ilona provided us the skills and confidence to work with Goose to make him better. I recommend her unreservedly, you will be amazed by the impact Ilona will achieve for you and your furry family members
I had my 10 month old GSP, Morris, stay with Ilona and undertake 2 weeks of boarding training for obedience as he was starting to get bigger and very excitable, and a little bit destructive. He was never aggressive but I was concerned about him knocking someone over when out for a walk. I don't know why I didn't do it sooner. He was a different puppy when I got him back. Ilona does amazing work. Morris can now be inside more often, he is much more calm and is definitely a joy to walk and play with now. If you have a dog or puppy you are starting to struggle to control Ilona can definitely help you.
Illona is an amazing trainer,reliable and truly loves and cares about dogs. She is always there to guide us if we need any advice. She has helped us understand our dog's behavior and transformed Xena to a well behaved huge puppy. Thank you Illona.
Ilona did a home assessment and obedience training with our Staffordshire Bull Terrier Zeke. With a new baby in the house, we had some concerns about Zeke’s behaviour around the baby. Ilona gave us some great advice and training tips to assist us. I Highly recommend Ilona she is absolutely amazing at what she does!
Ilona is an absolute miracle worker! I had Zeus in boarding training with her and I just couldn't believe how much she achieved with him! She's amazing at what she does and is so caring. She helped me to understand exactly what I need to do to keep up his training. I will FOREVER be grateful that we got to meet her and she was part of our journey 🐕🥰
Ilona has changed our experience of owning a puppy. Her simple, effective training methods have helped us to enjoy our puppy instead of continually (and ineffectually) reprimanding him. He is calmer and we’re all enjoying him more. Thank you Ilona!!!
We have a very reactive and anxious Belgian boy. After working with a variety of different trainers, with very limited success, we found Ilona. When we first met with Ilona, he was only walking for 10minutes a day - reacting to every noise and looking straight ahead. As soon as we were near our street, he would pull to go back home. Now he happily walks perfectly beside us for 30 minutes twice a day and is excited for these walks. More and more, we see him relaxing and enjoying his walks (not reacting to every noise // spending time sniffing and exploring etc). He follows instructions much more readily and he is able to calm down when instructed to do so. He no longer destroys things when he is triggered while we are out at work for the day. He has settled in to our routine. Ilona also is so kind and compassionate in supporting us to improve our behaviours which in turn has improved our boy. Most importantly, our boy loves Ilona - he is so excited to see her and she also loves our boy. Ilona is an absolute joy to work with - I do not hesitate to recommend her services.
Ilona taught us so much in our sessions on how to get the best out of our Belgian Malanois. We made progress extremely quickly and got the best out of the training. I would recommend her 100% to anyone. We have been able to remember the skills she taught us and have been implementing the techniques to our 4 months old puppy. I am so greatful for everything she has done.
I adopted Tina just a few months before her first birthday. As affectionate and playful as she was with me, I had quickly noticed that Tina severely lacked any socialisation skills and as a result was specifically quite aggressive to people and dogs. It felt very overwhelming dealing with such a fear aggressive dog. I’m so thankful that I stumbled across Ilona’s page. I’ve gone to several training sessions and group socialisation classes and already Tina is a lot more confident and calmer around people and dogs. I leave Ilona’s training sessions feeling motivated to continue on giving Tina the help she deserves. Would highly recommend contacting Ilona, especially if you have a reactive dog like Tina. Thank you so much Ilona for everything you have taught me so far. Could not have come this far without your help :)
Iona is great! We got a covid dog when no puppy schools were open. Iona came to our place and taught us what we should do. We also sent Benji to her place for a week where she taught him good behaviors I highly recommend Iona dog training, no matter how old your dog is
Kirsten’s extensive knowledge really helped us with our dog’s reactivity issues. She showed us many positive training techniques which has really improved our dog’s behaviour. I highly recommend Kirsten’s services and would have no hesitation at using her again.
Kirstin is the dog whisperer! We reached out to Kirstin for help after adopting a senior schnoodle with reactivity issues to help her gain some confidence. After five sessions with Kirstin, Wilma went from growling in fear to sitting in her lap for treats and pats, our other dog Dash was also obsessed with her. Kirstin provided so much great advice and followed up to make sure we were sticking to the program. Can’t recommend highly enough!
Kirstin is an amazing trainer and so invested in the success of her clients. We had a reactive whippet who didn’t like meeting other dogs on walks. Kirstin not only trained our dog but us. Now we have a much happier whippet and much happier owners. Cant recommend highly enough .
We recently used Mary Puppins services to look after our two year old Italian Greyhound for 3 weeks as we were holidaying overseas. We are very thankful for the care and daily updates Kirstin sent to make our trip stress free. The way she actively communicated with us made a world of difference and we never felt too far from our sweet boy. Would highly recommend to anyone who needs a professional attentive pet sitter or trainer.
We’ve had our whippet stay with Kirstin a few times now and cannot recommend her sitting enough! We appreciate the daily updates and photos. Our whippet is always excited to return which speaks to Kirstin’s high degree of care, expertise and understanding of dogs. If you’re looking for a dog sitter or trainer, you will not be disappointed!
Thanks to Kirsten's guidance at Mary Puppins Dog Training, our dogs are walking much more calmly and reacting better around other dogs and people. Seeing their improvement has been incredibly rewarding. Kirsten was not only focused on training our dogs but also emphasised educating us as pet owners, ensuring we understood why the techniques we were learning were important. This really helped us to continue training our dogs at home outside of our weekly sessions. Kirsten was also very accommodating with support between sessions, checking in regularly, reviewing our training videos, providing feedback, and sending through resources. We're really happy to say we've seen a significant improvement in our dogs' behaviour, and we would recommend Mary Puppins Dog Training to anyone.
Our 15-month old Whippet was very well cared for by Mary Puppins. Mary Puppins provided daily updates and kept us informed of our Whippet’s wellbeing. We felt our pup was in very good hands and we will use Mary Puppins again.
My dog has been attending daycare at Mary Puppins since she was 6 months old (now 4). She still does her excited squeak every time we turn into the street! It has been amazing for her to have somewhere safe and consistent where she can socialise with other dogs and get a good play while I'm working. My dog has also done obedience training with Kirstin and stayed there when I've been travelling. Kirstin is incredibly dedicated to the dogs, sends regular photo updates and I would recommend Mary Puppins to anyone looking for someone who will love their dog as much as they do :) Kirstin is a wealth of knowledge of all things dog related - training, nutrition, anxiety, grooming - she will forever be my go to for anything dog related!
Kirstin has been awesome in helping me with loose leash training of my dog Toby. She is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to understanding dogs and their behaviours, which then allows her to train the owner on how to get the best results with their dog. I highly recommend Kirstin if you want to achieve a great outcome for you and your best mate.
We found Mary Puppins after many recommendations from other dog trainers and sitters in our area. Archie has been going to see Kirstin and her gang for daycare, weekly, for over a year and it’s easily his favourite day of the week! You can tell how much she loves the dogs and vice versa by Archie’s excitement to get up the drive to see her! Archie also stays at Mary Puppins when we go away on trips/work away and he’s so well looked after. We can rest easy knowing he’s safe, well looked after and having fun! Thanks for everything 🤩
We had a wonderful experience with Don't Fret Pet! Our dog has separation anxiety, so we didn't feel comfortable leaving him at a kennel while we went away. Don't Fret Pet asked us detailed questions in order to find the ideal home for our dog. Pam did a perfect job looking after our dog - she took him out on walks, played with him, and sent us photos and updates each day.
Lee cared for our Elly May so well. It's a pleasure to find your pupper has had a happy experience. After a shy start day 1 with the other dogs on the afternoon walk I believe she was the life of the party after that.
Don't Fret Pets were an excellent service. They got back to me straight away after I put in my website request. Dianne kept me informed every step of the way when finding a minder for my pup. Setting up a meet and greet with Terry was smooth and Terry was a lovely man who took excellent care of my dog while I was away. I am very happy with the service I received from Don't Fret Pets and would definitely use them again and recommend them to others.
I am a first time user of the service. Managed to get a wonderful carer to look after my 3 month old puppy. The carer was kind and I couldn’t have asked far anyone better to care for my puppy. Will definitely be using again
This was the first time that our 11 year old Beagle Florence was left with carers. I was recommended by a friend that also have a senior dog to No Fret Pets. There service was professional and caring. The booking process is easy and straightforward online. It was wonderful to meet Angie and David with Florence. Florence had a fantastic stay and she came home a happy pup. Thankyou again. Richard, Kym and Florence.
Cheryl and Family did a wonderful job looking after Ralph. We couldn’t thank them enough for treating him like their own.
Used Don't Fred Pet's service for our recent holiday. Initial registration was easy and was contacted promptly to pair us up with a minder. Location of minder was close and she was experienced, friendly and couldn't fault her. Very professional and truely committed to giving the best for your furbaby.
This was our first time leaving Salty with a petsitter. I felt reassured by the thorough vetting process Don't Fret Pet uses to select their petsitters. They called me to talk through the process, and having a meet and greet with the petsitter in advance was great. Knowing that there was a team of people behind the scenes who could assist if there was a problem was also very reassuring. Salty had an excellent time with Pam, and came home relaxed and happy. I would have no hesitation using Don't Fret Pet again, and have already pre-booked for another two upcoming holidays. I know Salty is in the best hands, with carers who love what they do.
I was very stressed about leaving my boys, let alone with a stranger, but Carol was just wonderful and spoilt them totally. Such a caring lovely lady.
Don't Fret Pet were efficient and thorough. A pet sitter was found quickly and our sitter, Marissa and her family were wonderful. They looked after our dog so well, kept us up to date with photos and messages. I would highly recommend this service.
Donna was an amazing & experienced dog sitter. She was very calm & attentive to my puppy. She included fun, good care, compassion & toilet training into my puppy’s stay & followed up communications with me on a daily basis which was very reassuring to know my puppy was in good hands. Donna is an excellent choice if you’re looking for a genuine & committed person whom thoroughly enjoys taking care of your pet. Donna took caring for my puppy named Billy in her stride. I would recommend Donna due to her excellence & professionalism at all times. Thank you for ensuring my puppy was very well cared for…you certainly put us at ease. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Donna again in the future.
Absolutely useless customer service. Was charged twice for a week of house visits because their terrible app doesn't work. After trying every way under the sun (ringing, emailing, using the website, screaming into the void) to contact them about it, still nothing. You can book a call back, but they just ignore it. They need to be reported for shady business tactics because I can see I'm not the only one who has lost money with no clear recourse to get it back. No shade to the pet sitter though, she's amazing. All shade to the shitty app with shitty customer service. Edit: Thank you for the concern about my eyesight, but I'd rather you put your concerns towards being helpful to my situation. No, I have not received any emails about this issue from your accounts team. I have checked all folders, and I still receive emails about my payments for the service, so my email is definitely in your system. Secondly, I booked 2 callbacks for specific times because I am usually unable to answer my phone at work. I was not called on either occasion. If you are very busy right now, I suggest making sure that the callback booking system does not allow people to book in, if you don't have staff to fulfil these bookings. Finally, I looked through the knowledge base for answers and could not find anything for my situation, nor is the escalations email on your contact us page. In any case, after trying several methods of communication and receiving nothing back, I would likely not have tried another email anyway. Please genuinely let me know if any of these criticisms are not valid, as I am happy to admit when I'm wrong. I appreciate any actions you can take to help resolve this issue.
Booked 2 months in advance , the sitter cancelled 2 weeks before the due date. PetCloud kept $150 of the $530 booking for a service that we didn’t receive. So not only did we have to find a new sitter that we felt comfortable with at short notice we are $150 out of pocket for a service that we didn’t receive and they had our $530 for months. Expensive lesson learnt. Within 24 hours of posting a one star review our disputed $150 has now been refunded and Petcloud has asked that I take down this review.
I couldn't be happier to have found PetCloud! The whole experience of using PetCloud has been amazing. They really put me at ease knowing that my dog is in safe and loving hands. I was able to find a reputable sitter during the holidays when every pet resort / kennel were fully booked out. It also makes me happy to know that I'm supporting individuals who love what they do as pet sitters. I would definitely recommend their services to my friends and family. I hope everyone at PetCloud has an amazing year ahead!
OMG Kristy is just fabulous! You can tell from the first time you meet her that dogs are her world. I felt so comfortable leaving our Scruffy with her for 12 nights. Kristy provided lots of pictures of Scruffy enjoying his time with the other dogs as well as with Kristy. Kristy provided everything that Scruffy would have had had he been home with us. Will definetly be using Kristy again.
Jasmine and her family were very loving and affectionate to our Obie. He was relaxed and enjoyed his time and got along with Jack their dog. Highly recommended and comfortable worth his experience
Have used Pet Cloud on a number of occasions and have always found trustworthy sitters for our dogs and house.. To compare, I had to use another service once before because there were no sitters available at time. Pet Clouds streamline system of sending out jobs to available sitters is so easy to get responses. As the other service, I had to go through each sitter and find one, which was the worst and antagonising experience. Pet Cloud wins hands down. I can contact pet cloud and get a response, as other service it was only through delayed emailing. Thanks Pet Cloud.
Simone was a fantastic pet sitter. From the time of the booking she was very easy to deal with, super accommodating with any requests and made the effort to come out and visit prior to commencing the booking. She was a great communicator, very friendly and most importantly fantastic with our dog, even taking the time to lay with her and pat her through a late night storm (very anxious during storms). I couldn't recommend Simon more highly.
Jo-Anne M (Adelaide) was fantastic! Her love of animals, knowledge and experience stood out above other pet sitters we’d met, and we felt comfortable and confident right from the start. She treated our pets and our house as her own, and we got daily updates and photos to keep us up-to-date with how they were. They were getting their own holiday at home and were well cared for with lots of love. Our house was immaculate when we came home, and our pets relaxed. Everything ran smoothly and all was easy to arrange. Highly recommended - gets the top ranking from us. Thanks so much Jo!
My fur kid stayed at Joy’s for a week, she enjoyed her stay with lots of other friends. Joy was really friendly, looked after her really well. Thank you so much, we’re coming back in Dec but maybe some more daycare sessions before then. ❤️
Yesterday my puppy went for her first groom at the hound Hutt. I am so happy with the results! I was initially quite nervous as she has never had one done before, however the staff there reassured me and made me feel more comfortable. She looks absolutely adorable thank you so much! I would definitely be recommending to family and friends!
I had taken my mini spoodle Sheldon to several different groomers before the hound hutt, and he always came back extremely stressed and wouldn't settle for days afterwards. After grooms at the hound hutt, Sheldon has always a happy little chappy and has come home looking very handsome 😀 They even have doggy daycare, and after his first day, I received a photo and magnetic frame, a report card detailing the friends he had made and activities he participated in and a very happy VERY tired dog :) I always recommend the Hound Hutt 😀
We’ve been bringing our dogs here for 10 years. I’ve been extremely disappointed in the level of service under this new owner. I dropped in on my way past to book our 2 dogs in for a groom and the girl was so rude. It was such an inconvenience for her to come to the front desk and make a booking that she reminded me 3 times that I could book online, including passive aggressively saying “I’ll just look in the calendar for you, it’s exactly the same as if you look online yourself” after already pointing out I could book online. My answers to her were “Well I’m here now” and then “I was on my way past” and then finally “I like to speak to an actual person” Like I had to justify why it was more convenient for me in that moment to physically turn up! It was ridiculous! I asked for the next available time and aside from a 7am groom ( you know, the busiest time of the day in most households) she couldn’t get me in for several weeks. This isn’t even peak season, this is WINTER! Groomer only works Wed to Fri. She told me they were looking for another groomer. Well, you and me both because we won’t be coming back. I probably could have waited a few weeks, but she was so rude and obnoxious about booking online, I just walked out. I don’t know of any customer service protocols that include making your customer feel embarrassed about scheduling a booking in person. I got the message loud and clear, they’re too busy and important to actually speak to their clients. No matter how many years they’ve been a customer.
We have just finished the 4 week puppy school for our german shepherd puppy, she loved every class and had a great time playing with the other puppies. The staff were great to talk to and very friendly.
I'm very sorry to say that I am very unhappy with the latest groom they completed. I'm not sure what's changed as I've had her groomed at hound hut once before and there was no issue, in fact it was great, and when I booked I was assured it was the same groomer so I'm not sure what happened. At first I wasn't sure what was wrong other than they had taken way to much off her undercoat and her skin was showing through her coat, but on closer inspection it didn't look right, and not only taken too much off, but have also striped incorrectly, resulting in the broken off hair and that explains why it won't lie flat and instead sticks up in odd angles at different lengths. It also would have been EXTREMELY PAINFUL for her to have that done to her. She is also feeling itchy and uncomfortable because of what they've done and I'm having to bath her daily with aloveen to soothe her skin. She is also getting sunburnt because of how much they've taken off. I'm sure you can appreciate this is very upsetting to see my dog in this condition. I emailed them on the 1st Feb 24 to let them know I thought they should know that this is what their groomer has done and they either need more training in hand strpping a JRT or should not be doing this particular groom. However it's now 6th Feb and no response. So I'm writing this review so others' dogs don't get hurt like mine did. Very disappointed to say the least. Do not recommend.
Amazing job. We are so happy with you all. Our little fur babies looked so good and your staff is wonderful. Our fur babies are due to visit you soon. God bless you for all that you do not only for our fur babies but for us too. It brings a smile on our face when they walk out of The Hound Hutt VERY NEAT AND TIDY.
Hound hutt are wonderful! I took my 2 little cavoodles bubble and squeak in for their first professional groom and they look and smell fantastic. The staff are so lovely and clearly love dogs. Bubble and squeak bounced out very happy. I highly recommend them
Thanks so much for doing such a wonderful grooming job on my girls. They were happy and so was I. I found you kind efficient professional courteous and fun. Your premises are immaculate. We will be back. Thanks again.
OMG what a wonderful place. I took my Shitzu there today after her having a very bad experience with her last groomer when she didn't eat or walk for a week after. Today she bounced out looking beautiful and extremely happy. The staff are excellent, the groomer is excellent and we couldn't be happier. Thank you Hound Hutt.
We started sending our young pup to The Hound HUTT for company while we were at work. Now she goes because we all love the amazing care and attention Tilly receives. She has the best time, every day that she goes. The aunties are always so happy to see her and we get informed feedback on her day. Great advice is offered, and we all feel like part of the family! Thank you Suzi and all the aunties ❤
As first time puppy parents, we have had a lot of new experiences- coming to Barkley Park has been one of the best! As someone who works and recruits in a customer service focusing industry, I cannot speak highly enough of the genuine service this team provides to their furry clients and their people. From the moment I walked in the door on the first day, I knew we had chosen the right space for Cobie! Thank you for giving him a wonderful, enriching day on every visit (hell, I'd come spend the day here haha), and thank you for giving us peace of mind while we're at work!
Best daycare and grooming in Brisbane. Large spaces, lots of activities and plenty of friends, unlike some others which unfortunately are more like a small room! My dog always comes back very happy, even after a haircut!
We have had 10 full day visits so far and absolutely love the Barkley Park team!! They ensured a safe introduction and pair Bonnie with other suitable dogs for her personality and play type. We love seeing the Instagram Story updates whenever she is there, and the team always let's us know how her day went. The day care has great opening hours and it is super handy having a groomers on site. Keep up the amazing work team!!
Barkley Park is truly one of a kind. Amazing owners, staff and the most beautiful and well looked after dogs! No hesitations recommending this honest & transparent small business. Well done Barkley Park and thank you for the best experience.
My little man Ralphie absolutely loves Barkley! He has been to a few doggy day cares over the years and this one is by far the best. The groomer is also amazing - he came home looking super cute in a bow tie! Thank you Barkley team - we are so lucky to have found you xx
Absolutely fantastic service from the team every time. My golden retriever Marlee absolutely loves going here, always a struggle to get her to leave. Staff are amazing with her and always go above and beyond. Today we got her groomed there for the first time and was not disappointed. Marlee loved it and they done a fantastic job, she looks amazing! Will definitely be back next time. Thanks Gemma and team!
My furbabies have been going to Barkley Park intermittently since it first opened. They love going there so much they literally drag me to the door. The staff are so lovely and I know my pups are being well looked after. L and G thoroughly recommend hanging out at Barkley Park 🐾🐾 …
Our beautiful boy Swayze has had four weeks to date worth of the incredible care given by Jess, Bri and the team at Barkley. We are so grateful every day that he gets looked after by the team. He has made lots of friends and loves going back every day which means a lot to us given he is a rescue dog but very much ours! Thank you Barkley Park, please continue the wonderful care and attention you give to all of the dogs. We can't recommend you enough!
My dog absolutely loves Barkley - he starts the bum wiggles before I've even got a change to park the car! The staff are incredible and you can tell the dogs love them too.
From the moment we contacted Barkley they have been beyond amazing to work with. Gemma accommodated our pooch Harry with very short notice on his first day and we have never looked back. The team at Barkley are incredibly professional, reliable, responsive and enthusiastic. We can tell when we pick Harry up just how excited he is and how much fun he has had. We honestly could not recommend a better doggy day care in Brisbane - These guys are the real deal and their passion and love for dogs is very evident. Thank you Team Barkley - Harry loves his days with you :)
