This sit was a pleasure for us. We were able to meet "the family" before the sit and were made to feel very welcome in their lovely, comfortable home. We had clear concise instructions on care for the dogs. There were lovely walks from the house, however Eleanor took us to show us where the dogs enjoyed a scamper a few miles up the road. As we had the use of a car it was easy to take the dogs out and they were so well behaved where ever we went. They liked nothing better than to cuddle up on the sofa in the evening which was lovely. Very easy going, loving dogs each with their own character. The coast is in easy reach and we took them to the beach one day. The village had all that we required for our three week stay. There is a very well stocked Co-op, good butcher, post office along with other small shops together with an hotel and inns if you wish to eat out. Thoroughly enjoyed and we would always help out in the future......short stays could also be an option as luckily we are only an hour or so up the road. Thank you for having us. Gill and Charlie
Megan and Jen warmly welcomed me into their home. They were kind and communicative all the way through, providing a detailed, well-thought-out guide and answering any questions that popped up during the duration of the sit. Snowy and Bo made their way into my heart seamlessly. Getting to love on them all week was a treat in and of itself. Snowy, the alpha, overflows with intelligence and awareness. He accepted me quickly and became my constant companion. And Bo's playful puppy energy brought plenty of laughter and joy to the sit. Overall I felt very comfortable at Jen and Megan's and would gladly sit for then again. And if you get the chance, definitely sit for them!
Had a great time sitting for Vidya and Chris in their lovely south London apartment. Chai was so cute and fun, and looks exactly like puss in boots. Communication was easy and effective. Will miss little Chai!!
We looked after Garvan's place for a few days and had a great time with Fred. The house is lovely and we took advantage of having a nice kitchen to do some baking too. Being in Rathmines, its close to the city centre, shopping and other amenities. Fred was great to look after and we loved taking him on walks along the canal. He's a great chap and it was great seeing him warm to us so much as the sit went on. All the best, Harry & Katie :D
A really lovely cat sit and stay. Penny is so nice and helpful, and Velvet is absolutely adorable. A really lovely home, and I highly enjoyed my time there. Highly recommend!
I have been house-sitting for 5 years and I'm lucky to have met lots of incredible pets and pet owners. But I must say that Friday, Thirteen, and Ioana took it to the next level! Ioana was really kind and made sure I felt welcomed from the moment we had our first call. Since she would be out of reach during my stay, she made sure to connect me with a good number of people that would be able to help me in case I needed anything. She also shared a detailed Welcome Guide with all the information one might need during their stay. Ioana's place is located in the heart of Valencia. You can walk to the beach or to the historic center or you might just take the subway that is right around the corner. But the best part about this sit, for sure, was spending my days with Friday and Thirteen! They both are adorable cats who love cuddles, playing with their toys (or chasing each other around the house), and showing their love to you. Words are enough to describe how loved I felt by the duo during my stay at Ioana's! They are special cats that will still your heart the moment you meet them! I'm really grateful for my days at Ioana's and I strongly recommend this sit!

Oliver has been amazing with our nervous Australian Shepherd! Oliver makes the grooming process super easy whether we go to him or he comes to us. He always does such a fantastic job, and has high attention to detail. We would highly recommend Northern Beaches Pet Care
Oliver did an amazing job on river and benji ( our 2 dogs ) he really took his time on our benji with his winter fur coat and he came back looking like a completely new dog! You can definitely tell oliver loves what he does. Both our doggies came back excited and happy after their grooms. Couldn’t recommend enough we’ll be seeing you again soon 😊
I’m so happy with Charli’s groom today. The old girl is 13 yrs old and this is her first grooming. She looks 10 years younger! Oliver explained to me what he was doing, showed me the length of fur and confirmed I was happy. His facilities were super clean and he was very friendly. He is very quick to respond to enquires. Would recommend to anyone and looking forward to going back soon.
Our dog Asher actually likes going to Oliver to be groomed. Oliver always does a great job and is accommodating around times too. Highly recommend!
I can’t say enough nice things about Oliver who groomed my dog (also Oliver) today. Professional, friendly and the best groom he has had in his 12 years, stress free for a nervous doggie. He’s a happy dog now. Thanks Oliver, can’t wait for the hair to grow back so we can meet again.
Oliver is a true gem when it comes to pet care! He helped with cutting my dog's nails, and I couldn't be happier with the service. Not only was he gentle and patient with my furry friend, but he also showed a genuine passion for ensuring her comfort throughout the process. I highly recommend Oliver for anyone looking for top-notch pet care services!
Fantastic premium pet service!! When our very much loved Baloo stays with Northern Beaches Pet Care it's like home away from home for him, he becomes part of Oliver's family. We can relax and enjoy our holiday knowing he is being very well looked after. I highly recommend this service. Thanks Oliver!
Our much loved dog Scout deserves at least one walk every day and with a busy working family we couldn't always guarantee it. We discovered Northern Beaches Pet Care several years ago and ever since Oliver or one of his team has given her a long walk every day Monday to Friday. It works so well. Oliver has also arranged quality care for Scout when we were away. So caring and reliable, cannot recommend highly enough.
I’m very impressed with the grooming for my two beagles. They were happy and relaxed when I picked them up. Very reasonably priced as well I will definitely be taking them back to Oliver in the future!
First time there at the weekend for our little cocker and he felt perfectly at home. Oliver and Mel were terrific to deal with we will be returning in the new year. Well done guys! Proper pet accommodation and care takes a huge load off one’s mind when out of town.
We can’t speak highly enough of Paul and Annabelle. We were nervous about sending our newly homed, highly excitable and unsure rescue dog Link to daycare. But we knew he needed to mix with other dogs to help him assimilate. It was the best decision. The team was so understanding. Link loved it from day one, especially the rural outlook. He has such a great time, we decided to send our 13 year old beagle as well.
Toby had a wonderful time with Paul, Annabelle and the children Toby was so happy and well looked after, Toby seems to be more active now, thank you again Paul and Annabelle I will use you again
Ameera has the BEST time here at NDB! Receiving updates of her day, playing with her friends is the BEST part of my day! They take such good care of all the doggies, she always comes home knackered and gets soooo excited every time we pull into the street it’s on! She’s enjoying it there so much we are making sure she does twice a week MINIMUM. Best daycare ever! 😍
Ziggy our amstaff stayed with Paul and Annabelle 12 days. I struggle to trust anyone with our boy as he can be overwhelming for some people. We left him in super capable hands. We managed to have a stress free holiday knowing he was in a great and loving place. It really did great things for our dog, as he is super anxious and very needy. Paul and Annabelle really looked after him. When we returned to get him we noticed he’s become a lot calmer and well behaved. Can’t thank them enough and highly recommend.
Northern Beaches Dogs is an incredible place! My Dog Dorothy has been going regularly and loves it! The only booking system makes it so convenient, you can pull up right out front which is great when you have kids in the car and you get regular updates from the super friendly Paul and Annabelle. I couldn’t recommend Northern Beaches Dogs enough!
Fantastic doggy day care set up. Plenty of room for the dogs to run around. Daily facebook photos and videos show happy dogs having a ball with their pack. Owners Paul and Annabelle are lovely people and are truely passionate on what they do. My dog Lola comes back home settled and exhausted. I have also used their overnight home stay services which is awesome. Highly recommend!
So happy to recommend Northern Beaches Dogs. Our 8 year old Labradoodle has had the most incredible time with these guys in both Daycare and Overnight Care. Rowley was looked after so beautifully for 9 nights, made amazing puppy mates and came home with a wag in his tail and a bounce in his step. I was nervous leaving him in a new home after our care option fell through but I needn’t have worried, Paul and Annabelle are wonderful. The communication is awesome and we love the video updates. It’s clear how much the dogs love their time at Northern Beaches Dogs.
We are always so happy to send our dog to NBD. They look after him so well and he has the best time. We love that he can go and have a great day socialising with other dogs and a good run around. Especially for the days we are so busy and might not be able to take him out for a good run around ourselves. Annabelle and Paul are always so friendly and great with all the dogs! We especially love all the pictures and updates throughout the day. Highly recommend.
The Farm Dog - Terrey Hills team Paul, Annabelle and their little helpers have been absolutely wonderful to deal with. From booking in Benji, to the photos and videos of his day. We can’t recommend them enough. Thank you for being so cared towards all the pups, you can see their big smiles.
So lucky to have found Paul and Annabelle at the Farm Dog. Freddy’s confidence grows each time we drop him off which shows the connection they have made with him and how much he loves the regular social interaction with other dogs. He loves his days there and always comes home happy and tired.
My Lenny cat is timid and did a short stay. He came back happy and obviously well cared for, I will definitely be back to use small paws. Thanks Team
We just picked up Bella our Toy Cavoodle this morning after a weeks stay.This is her 2nd stay and I can highly recommend Small Paws in every way.The staff go to extreme levels looking after the dogs with 3 levels of accommodation available and outdoor playtime with the staff.The place is like a holiday for them with interaction with other dogs during the day and playing games with the staff.They also send you pictures and emails of your dog if requested so you can have peace of mind that your dog is in great hands.You won't be disappointed with Small Paws. Bella is looking forward to another stay this Christmas.
This was the first time our Cavoodle has stayed at small paws, we booked her in for 9 days Right from the day we went for a tour she was so excited to go in with the other small paws furry guests and make new friends. You were put at ease about leaving your dog at small paws, the staff were all friendly, experienced, profesional and their love of animals showed .They have regular health checks and records of her stay on how well she ate, behaved, and in teracted with others . At pickup she was as happy as could be, running around saying hi to all the staff and giving them a cuddle and a lick, she had made so many new friends and I know she would love to stay again and be super happy, and we would be happy also to have found somewhere that we know our furry family member would be loved, cared for and be treated like one of Smallpaws happy family, I can't thank them enough.
Our fur babies get so excited visiting the team at SmallPaws. Very professional and friendly ladies always taking care of our two Cavoodles. Highly recommend!
I have used SmallPaws a number of times over the past few years for our cavoodle Poppy and I am always happy with the quality of care and accomodation and the friendly staff. More importantly Poppy is happy there despite being a bit of an anxious dog. The staff take great care to help her settle and give her lots of TLC. She always comes home happy and excited at making new doggy friends! I highly recommend!
We left our 5 month old pup with Smallpaws and it is safe to say she had a ball. The staff were lovely, the facilities were fantastic and I loved how they posted on Instagram frequently so we could see her. I would highly recommend them, we will be back :)
Rodney my JR is a regular at Small Paws. I wouldn’t have him anywhere else. He’s now a special needs dog as he became blind. I feel very relieved that he’s been taken care of at a high level when I’m away. If there’s a problem, I’m contacted straight away. They are very caring and absolutely love fur babies.♥️🐶 …
Another heartfelt thank you to everyone at Small Paws, you are all amazing! It gives us such peace of mind knowing Mabel is extremely well cared for and so content and happy when we pick her up! Everything you do for her is greatly appreciated! See you again soon, thank you...!!!!
SmallPaws Cat Hotel demonstrated a genuine interest in caring for my cat, Romeo, over a period of some 4 weeks. Any arising issue was communicated immediately and resolved to ensure Romeo's continued comfort and wellbeing. I was kept apprised by way of email correspondence and Facebook posts which, not only included photos of how Romeo was spending his day, but, additional comments. Thank you SmallPaws for providing Romeo with care and attention during his stay, and, happily recommend your services to future clients.
Just picked our boys up from Small Paws after a week's holiday. They obviously had a fabulous time as usual. Well fed, well loved and lots of play. They are already looking bored at home!
Stef was brilliant. Listened to our instructions then delivered and communicated with daily updates. We appreciated her time. Happy customer.
Stefaniia has minded our elderly yet young at heart dog for a number of times now. She runs towards Stefaniia happily when I arrive and soaks up the care and love provided for her. I am so happy to have found Stefaniia to care for my dog. Highly recommend.
Caring, flexible, responsible and overall great person. Our puppy loves Stefaniia and we love the updates she provides and that we can always count on her for regular and last minute requests.
Over the past month, Stefaniia has been feeding and tending daily to seven lovely cats in Manly belonging to a dear friend who has been in hospital. The cats have bonded with Stefaniia who has done a wonderful job tending to the peculiarities of this small family of fur babies. Thankyou
So impressed with Stefaniia; my dachshund is extremely selective with who is even allowed through the door! Walter warmed to Stefaniia immediately and I felt very comfortable leaving him with her. He clearly trusts her and she’s a joy to be with. Very professional and friendly, competent and capable. Walter loves his extensive walks with Stefaniia. Highly recommend!!!
Stefaniia and Nick helped us out at the last minute to look after our very large puppy Axel (Ridgeback x Bull Mastiff). They stayed at our house to look after him, provided us daily updates, photos and videos and Axel loved spending time with them. I highly recommend them, and wouldn't hesitate to use them again.
Stef and Nick are a most friendly lovely couple who look after my little Arthur like their own. Very caring & I fully trust leaving him in their care. I totally recommended them to any pet owners especially ones like me that can’t leave him alone & need somebody to fully trust for peace of mind. Thank you both for loving Arthur 🐶 …
I have had an exceptional experience with Stefaniia and Nick. Their mindfulness and attention to detail ensure my furbaby felt comfortable and safe. Plus, their consistent communication (updates, messages, photos) was impressive. I feel completely at ease leaving Chuy 🐾 in their care. …
I was quite concerned about leaving Rocket for such a long time but Stefaniia took such good care of him and he had such a good time! I really hope we can leave him there when we go away again. Thank you so much!
For the last 4 month Benny (super active teenage corgi) stayed with Stefaniia for 3 times and feels like he got a 2nd home! She has provided an amazing care service and treated him as a family member. I have received regular photos and videos, so I always knew how my buddy feel and whats going on. Every dog needs a special approach and intensity of exercise depending on his age and health condition. Stefaniia listened to all my requests as to how much she needed to play and train my pet. And I think she nailed it! Well done! I will be in touch many more times, thank you very much :) Would definitely recommend!
In last minute, I had to look for a good place to leave my 14,5yo dog who has a medical treatment… I got very lucky to found this amazing Pet boarding! The staff is available, lovely and super friendly! It is also very important to mention that since it is a smaller pet boarding, dogs are allowed to be outside for several hours (depending on the weather) which is amazing compare to most of the pet boardings that I called…. I recommend 100%. I believe that my senior dog had a very good time!! He came back home completely fine and happy :) I also received some news, saw some photos on social media, it was very reassuring! Thank you again for your professionalism!
Words cannot express the gratitude I feel towards Lisa, Michelle and the staff. You looked after Norman as though he was your own child. An incredible place to leave your pets if you want warmth, care and an amazing experience. We will be forever indebted to you ❤️
Thank you Lisa and Rosslyn for looking after Stevie our anxious British bulldog. What a dream team!!! Lisa was so patient and empathetic and her willingness to persevere meant that she was able to alleviate Stevie’s anxiety so that she would eat, drink, sleep and play with the tribe at SPB. She doesn’t do any of those things with a pet sitter in our own home! I have total confidence in leaving my little buddy with the amazing team at Sydney pet boarding as I know she will be treated like one of their family.
We have been using Sydney Pet Boarding for many years now starting with Guinea pigs and now our dogs. Roslyn and her team are friendly and our dogs always look well cared for when we pick them up. They are able to have some fun with a play and run around whatever the weather. The enclosures are in temperature controlled buildings. Our dog and blankets get washed and all clean for pick up. The dogs are cared for very well.
The best, and easiest, decision you can make for pet accommodation! The staff are fabulous, knowledgeable, experienced, and show committed and personal attention to all their charges. There is only one downside and it's actually their greatest distinction: I don't think my girl misses me one bit when she stays with Sydney Pet Boarding!
Incredible hospitality at Sydney pet boarding. We left our two rambunctious wolfies who are originally both from the pound. Lisa and Dr Ross were kind and patient. We are thankful!
Lovely place and staff for your furry friend. Our little Niblit is a guest and she seemed quite happy to transition back and forth for a rabbit.
Great friendly boarding for pets. Dr Rosslyn, Lisa & Staff are very kind & patient with nervous pet parents like me. Tilly was given great care, lots of walks & attention during her stay.
We have used Sydney Pet Boarding twice and will definitely go back next time when we’re on holiday. Our dog is a 1.5 year old Cairn Terrier who has a sensitive stomach but she didn’t have any issues with Sydney Pet Boarding both times. Booking with Sydney Pet Boarding is super easy and Rosslyn (the owner) is very easy-going and accommodating. They will also post photos on their social media pages regularly so you know that your fur baby is in good condition. Our dog gets a wash before coming home (instead of just using perfume to mask the smell) so she’s always nice and clean when we pick her up.
I visited this place before deciding and soon realised that our guinea pigs would be safe here. I was really impressed how they had every pet's name on their computer and knew exactly when a pet would be dropped off or collected. They also uploaded a photo of our guinea pigs to Instagram, looking happy. When we took our piggies home, they splayed out on their blankets and looked totally chilled. It was obvious they had been well looked after. If you have skittish or nervous small pets, don't worry - they'll be fine here.
