Saradia watched just our cat Charlie since we took the dogs. Clean house and content cat upon return.
Sitting for Camilla was brilliant! We had such a lovely time looking after Monty and Nala. Monty is an energetic, affectionate playful dog! He is very well behaved, with an incredibly good sense of recall when out walking, an absolute joy to spend with. Nala was lovely too, very chilled and enjoyable to be around. Like most cats, they are super easy to look after and we loved how affectionate she was. The house is very spacious, comfortable and pleasant to spend time in. We felt very relaxed and throughly enjoyed the sit. The local area is stunningly beautiful, the downs, the forests etc. all provide for lovely walks. Camilla was an excellent host, friendly, communicative and helpful. We highly recommend this sit and would be delighted to do it again. Thanks so much for having us!
We had a super house-sit. Susan was extremely pleasant and easy to communicate with, and she had prepared a comprehensive Welcome Guide. Her home is a delight - clean, bright, comfortable. We were welcomed with the sight of fresh flowers, and a fascinating collection of artwork and artifacts from around the world. The house is in a very peaceful location nestled against the Flatirons, which are visible from the living room, dining area, and kitchen. The location has something for everyone. From the back yard a gate leads to a great trail network, including Wonderland Lake with its abundant bird life. There is an excellent supermarket, bakery, and wine store a few minutes walk away and it is a short drive or bus ride to the Boulder shops and restaurants. Lyft and Uber are readily available, we used these to have pre-Thanksgiving dinner at the Greenbriar Inn which is an excellent restaurant just a few miles out of town. Ginger the cat was friendly and very easy to look after, and we had plenty of time to explore the area. All in all it was a treat and we would love to house-sit there again (should the opportunity arise).
Chris and Kim's home is wonderful and provided everything needed for a comfortable stay. Zeke is a big sweetheart and Moxie enjoyed sleeping on the bed near my feet. They are easy to walk and take on trails. Chris and Kim's home is tranquil and very conveniently located to walk or bike to the store! Such a nice patio and view to enjoy. I would recommend anyone to sit for them!
I thoroughly enjoyed my entertaining week with Sir Henry. He is a gentle, curious kitty who will chat, but not in an overly demanding way. Although he likes to give the impression he is independent, he will often check that you are around and come and sit next to you, or play for a while, before going off to continue his exploring. Marcus and Julie’s home is very comfortable, and modern. It is located in a friendly neighbourhood, close to amenities and interesting walks. I was fortunate to meet Marcus and Sir Henry a few days prior to the sit. Marcus was very welcoming and helpful in explaining all that I needed to know to make sure my week would be relaxing and fun, and to know he could be contacted while away. Feeling relaxed and having fun definitely took place. In addition, I look back on the week with fond memories of adorable Sir Henry.
We absolutely adored our time with Harris & Honey. Both dogs are incredibly sweet natured and smoochy (and super cute). It helped that Kate & David are so lovely too! They were very welcoming to us in their home and communicative throughout our sit. Their home being beautiful was just a bonus! We’d sit again in a heartbeat.
Jay was very good in picking me up and dropping me off at the station. Buzz is a very sweet character. He can be left to his own devices, but is very sociable and active, so I took him for a few walks a day.

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!
I can’t speak highly enough of Oodles. We originally had our Cavoodle at another daycare which was a mistake. The staff at Oodles are really kind and compassionate and make an effort to bond with the dogs so they (and you) feel comfortable there. It’s fully transparent and you can see what the dogs are up to throughout the day on Instagram. There’s a wide range of ever-changing activities so the dogs are always mentally and physically exhausted when they come home. There’s an emphasis on fun as well as learning, so it’s more relaxed and not like a bootcamp like other daycares. It’s competitively priced and conveniently located too
Ruby used to attend a different daycare before I found Oodles and More, and I'm so glad that we found them. Viv, the owner has created a team of lovely carers who treat my Ruby like she's their own. I know that Ruby loves the attention she gets and all of the activities (especially getting treats and cuddles) and I really appreciate being able to see on Instagram what fun she's up to. Ruby has been at Oodles and More now for around two years and I highly recommend them.
Our dog (Popcorn) absolutely loves this place! The staff always post updates on Insta to see what the dogs get up to and the dogs always look like they’re having so much fun. They pay so much attention to each and every dog to make sure even the introverted ones are having a great time. 110% recommend this place!
Oodles and More are #1 in Brisbane. I send both my Cavoodles Boston (2.5 y) and Atlas (1y) at least once a week. They love it. Boston starts crying with excitement when we are still a few hundred meters away (he knows). I feel confident they are treated with the same love and care as they are at home but with loads more fun and activities. The price is affordable and competitive and being able to watch updates throughout the day online is amazing!! Can’t go anywhere else!
Sasha loves his days at Oodles and More. There is so much to do, including special sniffing activities, puppychinos and all sorts of fun play. I love the gorgeous feeds on Instagram too. He always comes home such a tired and happy boy. I have recommended Oodles to my friend for her two babies (Cloud and Tilly) and she is sooo happy that they now have the stimulation they need to put an end to undesirable behaviours at home. Thank you to Vivienne and all her lovely staff who always take such great care of our pooches.
I've tried four different doggy day cares around Brisbane, and Oodles and More is by far the best! My dog used to be terrified of people, but since starting at Oodles, her behaviour has improved dramatically. Now, she not only loves the carers at the day care but also actively seeks out pats from strangers who smile at her on walks. It's been an incredible transformation. Highly recommend Oodles and More for any dog owner!
Our 9month old Cavoodle Ollie has been going to Oodles and More every week for 6 months now and he absolutely loves Vivienne and the team. He is so excited upon arrival to see his doggy friends, enjoys endless play and participates in the activities, special events, enrichment time and cuddles. He has learnt how to socialise with other dogs and comes home to rest after his fun filled day. We love the care the Oodles team give and love sending him to doggy daycare .
My dog Albi absolutely loves attending Oodles and More! We've been sending him since he was a puppy, and are so impressed! He always comes home with a huge smile on his face yet one sleepy boy from adventuring all day which is exactly what we want. We have also found that he is so much more confident with other dogs in general now which is so great to see. I love watching the Instagram stories throughout the day to see what he gets up to. Couldn't recommend Viv and the girls at Oodles any more, they are all so friendly and super caring towards the pups!
I send my anxious sausage dog to Oodles and the staff have been so accomodating. Everyone is lovely! They play games and spend time with your pup and even give you little updates at the end of the day. Craft day is a must! Viv is excellent and has SO many great tips and recommendations. Wouldn’t go anywhere else :)
My little girl has the best time ever at oodles everyday! To her it is the most fun filled day, she’s enriched, social and well and truly loves and adores the amazing team that work there. Viv is very accomodating and I instantly feel at ease knowing my girl is in completely safe and loving hands. Thank you for being my life saviours, from a separation anxiety dog mum ❤️
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.
Our dogs Luna and Romi have been going to Paddington Pups for both day care and boarding over the last 4 years. They get so excited when we arrive and we always know that they will have a great time and be well looked after! They recently boarded for just over two weeks (our longest time apart!) and there is nowhere else we would have liked them to be while we were away! We feel really lucky to have found Paddington Pups and it will continue to be our ‘go to’ for all our day care and boarding needs! A huge thank you to the team for making our girls feel so special and for the peace of mind it provides us!
My Golden Retriever, Reggie, stayed in day care at Paddington Pups while I moved house. He enjoyed it immensely. I was very impressed with the written feedback on his day - his behaviour, the friends he played with and his general engagement with other dogs and staff. This feedback was much appreciated. The staff obviously love dogs and if I was still living in the area, I’d definitely use them again. I will recommend the establishment to other dog owners.
The staff are lovely and welcoming. I've used the grooming service a few times for my dog, with good results. Occasionally get some comedic value with some accessories as well.
Our cavoodle has been a regular at Paddington Pups since he was just a few months old. He's always so excited to get there - pulling us through the door and wagging his tail. We know he's super-happy to spend time with the staff and other dogs there, and feel totally confident that he's in good hands.
We have been taking our Labrador puppy Rory to Paddington Pups for 2 or 3 days a week over the last two weeks and he has loved it. The staff are amazing and so friendly - they swoon over Rory every time he’s dropped off 😁. They provide great care and Rory is always exhausted after a day there. It has also been fantastic socialisation for Rory and he has settled and calmed down a lot since he has been going. He seems to be learning so much from the other dogs and staff on how to properly handle the big world around him - we’ve noticed a positive difference in him. Thank you Paddington Pups - highly recommend 😊
When I moved to the Paddington area I started taking my dog to Paddington pups for approx 3.5 years and even since moving suburbs I still take him! All of staff are so lovely, the booking system is super easy and they always do the best job!
Our family dog, Scout, has been attending Paddington Pups since she was a (not so tiny) puppy. Now, six years later, she is a well-mannered, socialised, loving, and inquisitive adult Doberman. So much of who Scouty is today is a result of the on-going care provided by Paddington Pups. Highlights from over the years include getting to know the staff, who always have a smile on their faces; receiving the hilariously cute Playcare Report Cards; and seeing a smiling and stimulated Scout at the end of every single day she attends. Paddington Pups has had a profound impact on Scout’s life, and through her’s, a profound impact on our family’s life. Everyone who works there, especially the people who have been there for a while, are top-notch humans, who I would always trust to look after our precious Dobey x and any other dogs that I inevitably have in the future!
I took my Lupe to a grooming appointment and her haircut was the best that Lupe has ever had. She was happy when I picked her up so 5 ⭐ well deserved 💕 …
Highly recommend Paddington Pups! The team are fabulous and my doggo always has the best time there! Getting updates and reports on my doggo also helps me understand how my doggo behaves and interacts without me. The flexibility and late pick up is so helpful also when I have last min appt and work commitments! Well Done PP Team! We cannot wait to see you again soon! :)
Margot is ecstatic she gets to go to Paddington Pups regularly and gets sleepovers too. I am ecstatic that she’s ecstatic and I have a place I can leave her knowing how well she’s being looked after. She comes home tired and satisfied from playing with her dog and human friends.
Wonderful, knowledgeable, professional trainers. Our dog is much better behaved and we have the confidence to manage her in various situations. Daniel always arrived with a smile and I highly recommend!!
Kyle and Daniel have both been amazing with teaching us behavioral lessons for our four dogs. The company we have used for dog walking, dog sitting, and dog training. All three experiences were 10 out of 10!! We would happily recommend Mad Dogs for anyone who is considering these services. You will be in safe hands!
Our young whippet is having the time of her life , socializing with other dogs and expending her puppy energy each day with Mad Dogs. She comes home happy and exhausted and we love looking at (amazing) photos of her enjoying herself each trip. Kyle, Abbey and the team are wonderful . We are so glad to have found you.
Kyle and his team are incredibly professional, communicative and friendly. My dog Timmy is very friendly and social but after a few concerning run ins at local dog parks, I began to feel anxiety with socialising him but didn't want to isolate him either. MDAE really took the time to learn about Timmy and offers the opportunity for him to play in with a small group of other like minded dogs under a professionals supervision. He absolutely adores his regular walker and always comes back happy and tired. They post adorable pictures of the outing on their Instagram and it's honestly a highlight of my day to see Timmy having a fantastic time! (See below) Highly recommend!
I would be surprised if I ever saw anything less than 5 STARS for these amazing people. Kyle and Leticia have been walking Our dog every weekday for the past 4 months and we have felt very happy and comfortable with the service we receive. Often times they will go above and beyond for us providing each dog with their own individual treatment. They have even worked with us to have our pup develop better habits and also come to help us out on what I consider short notice. I really feel like I can truly rely on them and trust them immensely. Here are a few examples of the amazing pictures we receive from them on a daily basis. If you are looking for an amazing, top quality service, then look no further...you have found it.
MDAE were exceptional with me and my dog Yalla. From the first contact with Kyle they were super fast in getting back to me. Daniel was the trainer and I was impressed with the care and attention he had on explaining to us the methods and the reasons to use them. I only wished I had contacted them sooner!!! Yalla’s behaviour has improved a lot on our walks since then. Awesome work they do and I can definitely recommend!
MadDogs Brisbane (Kyle and Daniel) are GREAT! They really helped us with our doggie. He stopped pulling during walks and I can see he is excited and happy about being trained! (Ps: and you can get nice pics as bonus ☺️)
Kyle has been fantastic to deal with from the very first phone call. Daniel’s training has made such a difference to being able to walk our Border Collie without the pulling and stress. The communication the whole way along has been excellent with regular updates and we are so glad we decided to get some help with training Marmalade. She has made so much progress already. Big thanks to Mad Dogs & Englishman!
Highly recommend! We have been really happy with how our dog has progressed with Mad Dogs and Englishman, and Daniel has been an excellent trainer. We have had some pretty average experiences with a variety of other companies and strongly advise you give these guys a go!
OMG Kyle is Ahhhhmazing <3 He is so incredibly patient, knowledgable & clearly has a deep love of doggos. I have been to other trainers & felt that I was being reprimanded for my lack of knowledge, but Kyle was supportive, kind & very positive. I was blown away with our session & would HIGHLY recommend him for ANY training needs you may have <3 Josie & I thank you Kyle !
We may be a little biased but I couldn’t recommend the team at Kip Newstead more to keep your pup entertained, happy and safe whilst building their social skills and confidence through supervised play, activities and theme day events! Waffle LOVES coming to daycare every day and always comes home happy and tired after a day with her human and doggy besties ❤️
Kip has been amazing for Ernie who as a rescue has quite significant separation anxiety when being left home alone. I love that the team care about the pups so much and we’ve seen amazing progress in him. The updates through the day both in the portal and on Instagram make my day too.
Absolutely love watching how excited my Missy gets while waiting at the front door ready to greet all her favourite friends of the pup and human variety at Kip! Truly wonderful, caring staff. Highly recommend
Highly recommend Kip Doggy Daycare. At the age of 11 years I had hope my boy could get over his big dog syndrome. Here he is playing with the pack living his best life 💙. He no longer pulls on the lead and our meet and greets are more relaxed. Thank you to the amazing staff
The team at Kip Newstead are amazing! Our dog loves his visits and gets fantastic care and attention. He also suffers from separation anxiety but we feel totally comfortable leaving him in such excellent care and very capable hands! The updates we get also provides a heap of confidence and we get to keep track of the adventures he has during his visit too!
Molly absolutely loves Kip! The staff are AMAZING, I love getting daily updates and seeing her play with her friends it's her home away from home. Highly recommend Kip!
Tried the rest? Now try the best! Having taken Colin to a few daycares, sometimes he came home smelling like pee or was very glad to be going home. After experiencing Kip, there's nowhere else I'll take him. He gets so excited about going in, that he tries to jump out the (moving) car window to get out. He pushes past me to scramble out of the car and runs to whichever friend is close by. It is the highlight of my day, to sit at my office desk and review the cute videos and instagram posts that Kip provide. Not only has Colin made new fur-friends, but also human friends with the amazing staff at Kip. I wish that I had the untenable excitement for life that Colin has when he knows he's going to 'school'. He is so pooped after a day at Kip that he falls asleep in strange places, like the coffee table. Thank you to Kip for being amazing and making Colin's week!
Fulgencio had the best day ever and everything was amazing as a dad. They kept me updated the whole day with cute photos and videos. Communication was amazing with all the people who work there (Specially Lani). We are definitely coming back.
Kip Newstead is amazing! They provide such fun and enriching activities for our pups and care for them as if they were their own dogs. Bettie absolutely loves going along to daycare and it makes me so happy knowing she can have a great day in a safe and friendly environment. The sweet video updates are always a joy to watch! Thank you so much Emily, Sam, Lani, Liz and Preston - you are all incredible humans and Bettie adores you all so much 😊
Oscar woofs a biiiiiiiiig thank you. Tail wagging as we head towards day care. Thank you so much for looking after the wee boy. Best part is he is done when we get home. Love getting the videos of his day and love knowing he is in safe hands 😍♥️🙏
My dog has been with Doggi for over a year now and it has been the best decision! She loves going and her behaviour and confidence has improved so much. Laura and the team are so experienced and provide thoughtful and tailored guidance. The Doggi Cakes are also a fave with my pup and so cute! We would be lost without Doggi!
I’ve been taking my pups to Doggi for almost a few years now and am amazed at how well mannered and calmer they are now. Laura is a dog behavioural specialist so she provides the dogs with structure throughout the day (pack walk, agility course, crate nap time and playtime outside) and ensures they have a calm and safe environment to socialise with other dogs. So many other dog facilities don’t focus on this enough and therefore reinforce unwanted behaviours and interactions. Laura also provides you with amazing tips and education if you’re ever wanting to work on certain behaviours with your pup. I feel my pups are well-looked after when at Doggi and they always have such a positive experience :) Would definitely recommend Doggi!
Our dog has been going to Doggi for a few months now! Not only have we learnt so much about helping our dog become more confident and content, but he absolutely loves going to day care and socialising with other dogs in a safe environment! We often say Laura is our dog guardian angel - she’s really helped us help our anxious four legged family member.
Laura and her team are incredible at caring for our cavoodle Maui! Doggi has the most beautiful and enriching space to care for pups and we love getting tips on continuing the structure at home, this has helped our dog become more confident and social. Highly recommend, definitely the best Doggi daycare in town!
Doggi has been invaluable to us as we’ve navigated the journey of adopting our first family puppy. Laura has taught us so much about our boy’s behaviours and given us strategies to help him become a happy, but calm pet.
When I adopted an older dog, Doggi provided the training and educated I needed to help my dog build confidence and become balanced and relaxed. I love my dog's day care days - I feel so good knowing my dog is in Laura's care.
My dog loves attending doggi school! Laura has taught us so much about dog behaviour which has helped us help our dog become a calmer yet confident boy.
We take our miniature schnauzer Monty for doggy day care at Doggi, as well as to see Laura for behavioural advice. The space for the dogs is like no other, and the fact it is run by a behavioural specialist is even better! We have seen improvements in our dog’s behaviour at home thanks to Laura’s advice, and we know we can always trust Monty to have an enjoyable day away from home at Doggi. Highly recommend.
Not sure where we would be without Doggi! Laura and the team have been pivotal with our dog. He is also a big fan and can't stop wagging his tail on arrival.
I have noticed a huge change in Ned since he started attending Doggi. Laura’s consistent feedback provides families with achievable behavioural goals to work on at home and following these will ensure you have a well behaved family member forever. I love that Ned thinks he’s having a fun day with friends but he’s actually learning how to be the goodest boy! Start young and implement the recommended strategies at home for the best success!
My cavoodle, Spencer, has been going here for over a year and loves it. The socialisation and desensitisation that Spencer experiences makes my life so much easier. He's been going weekly since he was 5 months and he is turning into a well behaved, relaxed and happy dog. The whole team are just wonderful and Spencer absolutely loves them all. He comes home happy and content and gets excited anytime the word "daycare" is mentioned. The times, price and convenience are unbeatable. Highly recommend to everyone; we simply love it!!!
My puppy recently attended their training and daycare, and my 2-year-old dog also enjoyed some time at daycare. Both had a great experience! Tamika is wonderful – her passion for dogs is evident. I recommend Pupz & Co. to anyone looking for quality training and daycare for their furry family members!
LOVE Pupz & Co. My Vet recommended Pupz & Co over puppy daycare places and it has been the best thing that I have ever done for my puppy. Ned has been going since he was a baby and absolutely loves it. He runs around the car in the morning on a puppy kindy day and can't wait to get to Tamika and her staff. He comes home happy and exhausted and I know that he is loved and well taken care of. Tamika is very knowledgeable about dog behaviour and training and is always able to answer any question I have for her. Do IT!! Book your puppy in. It's the best thing I have done for my puppy and I recommend it 100%.
Pupz & Co are amazing! We always feel confident our two dachshund boys Oliver and Orson will be well cared for and entertained during their daycare. Even our less social boy Orson enjoys his time meeting new furry friends at Pupz & Co. Thanks Tamika and team for the great service and peace of mind. Sharing a pic of the exhausted boys after their day of fun at daycare.
We highly recommend Pups and Co. . Our Golden Labrador Ari Loves this daycare so much he jumps out of the car to go in and socialize. 🫶🏻 Tamika and her staff are absolutely beautiful for their professionalism, friendly and very knowledgeable. There interaction with the dogs and the best training you could possibly get for your puppy growing into a beautiful dog 🐾 We highly recommend Pupzco to all our friends 🙌🏻 definitely five star out of five 🙌🏻
So grateful for Tamika and the Pupz & Co team! My girl has been attending regularly since she was a puppy and absolutely LOVES it! She is 2.5yrs old now and Pupz & Co has become her 2nd home. Seeing how happy and excited she is when we arrive each time always brings me joy, and knowing she is in very good hands and well looked after gives me such peace of mind. The extra behaviour training-exposure activities they do are a huge bonus too. I absolutely believe I have a more satisfied dog due to her time spent there having fun with her doggo & human friends. Thank you!!
Incredibly caring and passionate team. These guys have a wealth of knowledge on dog behaviour. You can feel safe leaving your pup in their care knowing that they thoroughly temperament test all dogs in the daycare environment!
Milly is an energetic Australian Cattle Dog who enjoys spending time with her doggo crew in an enriching, playful environment whilst we're at work. The opening hours, location, price, cleanliness and customer service is excellent. The Pupz & Co Puppy Training Course is a great foundation, and as a family, we've learnt so much through personalised training sessions with Tamika. We are super grateful for Tamika, Sam and their dedicated team. Highly recommend!
Tamika and team run a fantastic operation and really care for and entertain the pups. My pooch Phoenix absolutely loves it and comes home knackered. Tamika is a stellar trainer as well and has helped get Phoenix into some really good habits. We started off paying for single visits and sometimes packs but the subscription option is the best bang for buck - plus you can drop pooch off whenever without booking with this product. HIGHLY recommend
My American Staffy X Charlie has been going to Pupz & Co for a couple of years now and he absolutely loves it. We love the fact that he gets socialisation and enrichment with other doggos in a safe and positive environment. I cannot recommend Tamika and her team at Pupz & Co highly enough … They are amazing and we would not go anywhere else. Charlie loves being part of the Pupz & Co Crew … Thanks a million Tamika and team ♥️🐾
My Blossom is a regular attendee of Gabba Doggy Daycare and always has the best time. Due to an unfortunate incident my poor girl suffered from some PTSD that made her very nervous and reactive. GDDC worked with me to help work on this and build her confidence back up, and now she’s finally back to her old self. She loves Rory in particular and gets so excited to leave the house when he comes to pick her up. She always comes home tuckered out and happy. She’s also made a bunch of doggy friends. I love seeing the photos on their Instagram of her having a great time. Thanks so much for always taking good care of my girl
The team here have taken great care of my cocker spaniel. They take great attention to his behaviour and ensured that his environment is appropriate for his needs. He looks forward to going there each week.
The staff are incredible! My border collie STELLA prefers human company to other dogs, and the staff spent the entire day interacting with her. She came home very happy.Thank you!!
Look at that happy face! We totally didn't regret the 30+ min drive to and another 30+ min drive back after seeing how happy he was when we picked him up. He had so much fun that he passed out on the way back home and continued sleeping thru his dinner time. I especially like the strict rules and SOP the team at Gabba had followed to ensure that the dogs are comfortable, while ensuring the safety of the dogs and the owners. You can really see the love and dedication they have in their roles/jobs. Being a protective pawrent myself, I highly recommend anyone and everyone this doggy daycare for their precious puppy/dog! We will definitely be planning and signing him up for more daycare with them.
Amazing place to bring your fur babies! The staff are amazing. They have all the training and experience to look after your pup and well as help with any questions you might have or help with training. The best part is seeing what your fur baby got up to on the instagram story. Is an amazing feeling knowing the staff love your dog just as much as you do ❤️
We've recently moved to the area and decided to give Gabba Doggy Daycare a go, our dog is slightly nervous meeting people for the first time however the moment we walked in the staff recognized this and adjusted their behaviour to suit. We had a catch up in the day about how Cleo was going and when I picked her up had a good chat about how the day went. Certainly recommend and Cleo will be back!
Our mini dachshund Ralphy loves Gabba Doggy Daycare! It was daunting leaving our little boy for the day but the team at GDDC are amazing! We love knowing he’s in a safe space, is well looked after and never deprived of cuddles and fun & the picture updates are also a highlight! Would highly recommend sending your fur babies here!
Ellie absolutely loves it there. The staff are amazing. They are dedicated and love her like I do. She loves them back which is evident every morning by the happy jumps and big tail wags. It's her home away from home.
These guys always great Knox (tiny old man sausage dog) immediately by name and a great big smile. I’m sure the dogs get a lot of attention and play as Knox is always popped by the time pick up comes along. So glad I signed up for a free trail, as he my dachshund has become a regular since!
In peak hour traffic each morning driving past I always see the dogs so excited to be dropped off here each day. They are so eager and happy to get inside so it must be great! Thanks for making the dogs happy, which makes the morning commute better.
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.
