Thomas was a wonderful pet sitter!n Both dogs were vey happy upon our return and we could tell that that they had been well cared for. Gracie, one of our 2 dogs is quite elderly and requires extra attention and Thomas was really great about that. The house was in tip top shape when we got home and I would highly recommend him!
Eric and Gratia are super friendly and communicative hosts, they made me feel right at home at their place :) Their apartment is beautiful and in a great location, they left very clear instructions for everything and Nugget is an adorable roommate! She's the snuggliest little pup and great company on walks or on the couch. Nugget will also make sure you feel right at home in the area, as everyone knows her and she will take you to meet all her friends (literally everyone will recognize her on the street, she will start a lot of conversations with locals for you :D). Highly recommend this sit and would absolutely keep Nugget company again!
Radha and Sunil were an absolute pleasure to meet and Simba was a delight to take care of! I'm so thrilled I could look after their baby (giant) bear so that they could go and enjoy a wedding. ;) Thank you for your generosity, kindness and consideration! I already miss Simba and would house-sit again in a heartbeat.
Every now and then in this life you meet people, and you seem to become immediate family. Fred and Starla are those kind of people. Decent at their core. I came 2 days before the sit, and left 2 days after. Their hosts acumen is above par. Fred took me.to the store apon my arrival. Starla has a talent you will not want to miss seeing and hearing about. The two of them and I had some calamity which we handled as if we'd been friends and business associates for decades. I'm sure this latter situation won't be incurred by all. Albeit you'll be happy you chose them. Beautiful home with an ethereal deck in a quaint diverse neighborhood, nestled near the nation's capital and all the events surrounding it: Museums, piers, monuments...Their deck (I call it a veranda) actually overlooks a hiking trail with a swimming pool and rippling water springs on the path. The pups are heartbreakers. You won't want to leave them! Isla and Coalila mirror their human parents kindness and loving ways. Isla should be a ball instructor! Best ball player; both fetch and soccer I've ever cared for! Coalila is a princess who'd prefer to snuggle up. However; she likes to play occasionally. They've invited me back and I wouldn't hesitate one second. If you are chosen to sit; count your lucky STAR-LA! Pun intended... What I'm certain of is you don't want to miss the opportunity to be around such a positive experience, with the two most endearing people, and sweet fur-girls!
Jedi and Cookie were a lovely pair to have a chilled week with and Belinda has a wonderful home to stay in filled with board games and puzzles to keep you busy. Belinda was great, her communication before and during the stay was perfect.
Scoobs and Noods are total mushballs - get ready for endless kisses and cuddling! They have hilarious little mannerisms like lazing around in the most spectacular of shapes around the apartment and making strong, loving eye contact with you. They even know the cleverest tricks! It's clear that they are exceedingly well-loved and cared for by Brent and Natasha, who were the most appreciative and positive pet parents. Their apartment was also modern, bright, and centrally located - a perfect landing spot for a few days. Overall, a sweet stay with the sweetest, sausage-iest company!
Kate and Jamie have a stunning cottage in the English countryside. Amazing views and very good walks around. Monty is a super sweet, easy going dog. I very much enjoyed my housesit and would happily return.

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
Our border collie girl has been attending DDCB for 14 months and we absolutely love the way the team embrace Piper like she is one of their own. The enrichment activities reinforce the skills we’re teaching her at home & it provides great comfort to know she’s so well taken care of by the team instead of at home alone.
I would be lost without these guys. Jaffa is an anxious and shy pup and he loves it here. He gets involved in activities and loves all the teachers. He especially loves taking a break and going on a walk and train with Liz during the day. He has been coming here since we did puppy school here and he is now almost three. Highly recommend.
We were a little nervous having our 2 year old rescue girl groomed for the first time, but the guys at DDC exceed all expectations. They took time to understand her needs and eased her into the grooming experience - the groom itself is AMAZING! I didn’t think our girl could get any cuter but somehow you made it happen! Thank you so much, will be coming back!
The Dog groomer Maki is absolutely beautiful 😍 She is caring, profesional, excellent customer service. I love the way she tells me politely how to look after my doggie and cares for my Poppy girls wellbeing. She is honest and consistent with her work. I am very grateful and wish her all thr best of luck. Rare gem 💎 I am lucky we have found you Thank you!
I can't rate this daycare highly enough! If there were ten stars, I'd give them all to Kaz and her amazing team. Special mention to Liz too who trains my pup Gigi. She's amazing and Gigi is complimented often on her manners and training. Gigi started here from around four months of age (she's been going now for nearly 18 months) and she's loved every day she's attended (pretty much five days a week). The team have such a genuine love for the dogs in their care and you feel that from the minute you step foot inside this daycare. I did trial days of three daycares and was concerned beforehand that I would struggle to choose one. I needn't have worried. I knew instantly that this was the one for us. I felt very confident that Gigi would be cared for, loved, supported, and that we'd found a lovely second home for her. I actually could type an essay for this review, but I'll stop here. I can't recommend this daycare enough. It's Gigi's last week there this week and I am so sad to be leaving. And I'll tell you that when I made a pros and cons list of moving out of this area, I absolutely factored in that Gigi would no longer be able to come here. Our pups are our babies and Kaz and her team have loved Gigi like their own.
Doggy Day Care Brisbane provides an exceptional care for my fur baby when my partner works away from home. Their staff quality is superb and I can tell they all genuinely love dogs so I know my baby will be in good hands when she’s with DDCB! Highly recommend!
Lead Manners Training I attended the Lead Manners Training back in July of this year and it has been the best course I have done with my puppy. I have a Mini Dachshund and before doing this course he pretty much refused to walk. He was so stubborn and would want to just sit in the park:-). He would also get far too excited if there were any other dogs around. However, after just the first lesson of the Lead Manners course I could put strategies in action and noticed improvements instantly. We now go on lovely long walks together and he is the dream dog to walk with. He even sits beautifully while waiting for me to order a coffee! Liz and Chloe are the most wonderful and patient instructors and had great tips and advice. I highly recommend this course!
My dog and I love everything about this place. We've just completed their back 2 basics training and it was so good, it's a 6 week course with a small group and it has definitely been helpful and the trainers are very attentive and loving. Thanks Liz for all the help with Poppy 🥹 I'd definitely recommend their daycare as well as their training sessions.
The best doggy daycare ever! We’ve been taking our Vizsla Louis here for two years and I recommend it to everyone. Kaz and her team are wonderful, genuine, and truly care for the dogs as if they were their own. I particularly love seeing the social media updates of the new activities he’s been up to that day. Warning - if you send your dog here, prepare for them to love the teachers more than you (shoutout to Miss Sam 😂)
Love this place! Dogs always have a great experience. All the staff love the dogs and work so hard to give so much love to every dog with the utmost care for their happiness and well-being. Training is also so good! Trainer Liz helps so many dogs and their parents as well as the girls in the back with the different enrichment!
Mik is an amazing pet sitter! She kept me informed the whole time I was away, with lots of photo updates to put my mind at ease that my pup was being well looked after. She was very accomodating around pick up and drop off times and my pup absolutely loved her! He took to her straight away and loved the cuddles. Mikayla has such a natural gift with animals and is very kind and responsive. I am booking her again for an upcoming holiday and feel confident my pup is in good hands 🥰
Absolutely loved Mikayla’s service ! I have a toy poodle that can act strange at times but Mikayla ensured she was able to handle it and she definitely did! So kind, and reliable, definitely recommend :)))
Mikayla is so good with Simba. I've left my little cavoodle with her twice now, once for a short weekend and the other for about 10 days. Both times he has come back looking so happy and relaxed, almost as if he were on his own vacation. She genuinely loves animals and you can see that in the way she takes care of the pets she sits. If I have any special requests with food or grooming, she always takes them on no matter how small or big they may be. From daily photos and videos to updates on small things like if he has a knot, she keeps me up to date at all times making my trip stress free. She is by far, the best pet sitter I have come across and would 100% recommend her to everyone.
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.
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. ❤️
I found my pet sitter on PetCloud. Parvin was easy to communicate with and very friendly. She took great care of Audrey when we were away. I would recommend her and would book her as our sitter again when needed. PetCloud was easy to use and provided a great service.
Track record of not paying sitters on time without constant and persistent chasing. Edit- Petcloud in its response implies that I'm an unsuitable pet sitter, despite having nothing but five star reviews on its site and both the other platforms that I use, including having multiple repeat bookings. The only reason I am "unsuitable" to using their platform is that I, like all other pet sitters, want to be paid on time and without having to chase and chase for payment when the client's money has been sitting in their account since the date the booking is made, long before the sit commences. I've had enough of their garbage and want to warn others to stay away from them. I now strongly suspect that Petcloud's consistant obfuscation blaming delayed payments on various system issues were lies in order to delay sitter payments or to avoid paying sitters at all. Refer to Trust Pilot and Product Review websites for others' experiences.
Our dogs Angus and Friday have been going to Paws and Relax for nearly 5 and 4 years respectively. They both started in puppy school there and then started going to doggy daycare. The Paws and Relax staff really love your dogs, they are genuinely interested in them and they have built a beautiful inclusive and respectful community with their clients. My dogs love it so much that sometimes the staff have to pretend they’re coming home with us in order to get them to walk to the car at the end of the day. Your pets will be in safe and caring hands while they’re in daycare.
Beautiful grooming, very friendly and welcoming. My little dog became fearful of grooming and so I had to find a new groomer. I am so grateful to have found Paws and Relax. They treat him nicely and he is no longer scared, and he looks amazing. Thank you !
Best doggy daycare. My dog has been going here for over 4 years. He's a very anxious dog but he loves P&R because the team their are so loving and gentle. They know their stuff about dog behaviour and create a welcoming, fun and safe environment for all the dogs. I love that they take a fear free approach to everything. The grooming service is also excellent and so convenient to be able to have that done during the day when he's already there. I don't have to try to get grooming separately on weekends. I'd give this business 10 stars if I could. Fantastic team and an important part of the village that helps me ensure my dog is living his best life.
My sausage dog absolutely loves going to day care and being groomed at Paws and Relax! The educators absolutely adore their pooch students and treat them like their own babies. I especially love the themed dress up days and the regular photos and videos posted throughout the day. The grooming team are very skilled and caring, providing a wonderful experience for doggies.
The most wonderful haven for dogs with busy parents!!! Tegan has always been the most wonderful fountain of knowledge always willing to offer advice to dog parents who need it. Their social media always makes me laugh and brightens my day and I wish all dogs got to have as much fun as the P&R family do!
Paws & Relax are Brisbane’s #1 doggy daycare. I have three fur kids with very different personalities and the P&R team work with them through positive engagement and needless to say the trio love their daycare days. I wouldn’t send them anywhere else! Thank you P&R team
The most trustworthy and reliable place I’ve sent my Cavoodle! We have tried multiple daycares for our Cavoodle all over Brisbane and this is the only one we would ever send him too. The staff are amazing and extremely supportive with making Archie feel comfortable as he does suffer with separation anxiety. Archie also gets groomed here and it’s been 10/10 every time unlike other places we have tried. We get photo updates during the day and a summary on pick up of how his day went. Big thanks to the whole Paws & Relax team!
The team at Paws and Relax are amazing! Max gets groomed there and is always a happy little guy when we pick him up. He also loves heading into daycare and has a great time. We get updates throughout the day from the Facebook group too!
The team at Paws & Relax were an absolute lifesaver when we moved to Brisbane with our Golden Retriever puppy and were in between AirBNB's and rentals. Again, when we got our second GR that had special medical requirements, they went above and beyond to provide amazing care. Thank you for all that you do!
My 12-year-old rescue dog, Knox was highly anxious with severe separation anxiety. I was lucky enough to get Knox a place at Paws and Relax, and they were fantastic with him. They assessed him on a couple of hourly visits, then put him in 1/2 day once per week until they felt he was comfortable and ready to stay longer and/or more frequently. Knox absolutely thrived there; he would scratch at the door to go in whereas at first he scratched to get out. He felt safe, loved and enjoyed being with the pack. It changed not only his life, but also mine...for the better! Knox sadly passed away a couple of months ago, but I'll always be grateful for the wonderful care he received at Paws and Relax. They are testament to what a great business really is.
