This was a dream housesit and we enjoyed every minute of it! Deb and Rod’s home was like staying in a resort only better, as we had the companionship of their gorgeous dog Sasha and beautiful cat Nala. Sasha loves people, is affectionate and well behaved. Nala is an easy going, relaxed cat. Deb and Rod were welcoming and generous hosts. They were keen for us to enjoy all the amenities in their house and local area of the Gold Coast. Their spacious, beachfront home was lovely and clean. We had a private bathroom and bedroom with a supportive, king size bed, which was very comfortable! The ocean views from their balcony are stunning, and we enjoyed watching the sunset over the hinterland. Deb and Rod were easy to communicate with and she has written a comprehensive ‘Trusted Housesitters’ Welcome Guide’, which we received well in advance. It contained everything we needed to know, which made the house and pet sit go very smoothly. We thoroughly enjoyed staying in Deb and Rod’s luxurious home and highly recommend this housesit. Thank you, Deb and Rod, for choosing us to care for Sasha and Nala. We feel privileged to have been your pet sitters and can hopefully assist you again in the future.
We enjoyed our stay so much. Jonathan was really nice and was in touch with us the whole time if we needed anything. The appartement is really beautiful and we fell in love in a second. Belle and Big are so easy going. No scratching, no bitting. Big is an older guy so he needs a little bit of time to get to know you but than he comes for cuddles all the time. Belle is a playful young lady. We will miss them. After one month we got really used to them :) Thank you so much Jonathan for having us. It was a really pleasure to be here.
I really enjoyed my stay in Goodyear. The house is everything you will need and the pool is lovely. Lilley Jane and Miss Kay are very cute together. The cats love to play and are very curious and mischievous. The one challenge was keeping an eye on all four cats. They were very sneaky about climbing on counters and sneaking out of the door while I let the dogs out. Jason was a great communicator and was able to help with that situation. Overall, I highly recommend this house sit.
Loved this house sit with Sasha, she's such a lovely and chilled dog! Damian was v welcoming and gave loads of recommendations on walks and places to eat! Great place for walking and swimming around the reservoir and v easy to get too! Hope to do another house sit soon!

Our dog has been going to Paws Daycare for almost 3 years. Prior to that we used Paws at Home for our cats. We keep going back because of the friendly staff and the level of care and attention they give our fur babies. Our dog gets regular grooms from their groomers that are scheduled on the days he’s booked into daycare, which makes it so easy. Couldn’t recommend them more!
An aculade to paws pet care, Hamilton. They collected a scruffy long haired Jack Russell with very long toe-nails, and returned him a little later in a perfectly groomed condition. I am very pleased in all aspects of the groom. MARK was punctual and professional which was much appreciated. I highly recommend paws pet care to any owner wanting excellent grooming, care and attention for their pet. Happy customer Ross P
Sarah and her team are absolutely amazing! They take such good care of my pup. She is always excited to go to daycare and comes home so calm. I never have to worry about her she is in the best hands. Highly recommend their grooming services and overnight holidays as well. They are the complete package. Thank you so much for all you do!
This is such a lovely caring centre ! They really make this such a positive experience for all dogs , Thank you for your kindness
It has been a few years since my dog stepped into daycare. And guess what? My dog still loves it. Staff are friendly and passionate about their dogs. And I get a photo of my dog each time we go to daycare~ Can't find a better place to trust my dog to.
Exceeded my expectations. Staff were lovely and welcoming. Did a great job of our slightly anxious (when it comes to grooming) pooches.
Ollie is a six month Jack Russell with so much energy since going to Paws weekly for a few days he is such a neat pup at home he absolutely loves Paws I can’t rate their understanding and care high enough 🐶🌟🌟🌟 …
For the first couple of days, I'd drop her off and she wanted to come home. After third or fourth day, I'd turn into Paws driveway and she was jumping around in the car excited to get out. After a week we didn't have to use the harness, she is straight in the door and happy to be with her friends and family staff. Highly recommend Paws.
100% recommend this doggy day care! The big and small dogs are in separate areas which gave me huge peace of mind. Photos are taken daily which I love! And my dog came back after her first day so happy and wanting to go back!
My girl attends daycare regularly and has just spent her first 3 nights with the team also. Hard to put in words how much it means knowing I have these guys to help look after her and it is the biggest comfort knowing she is so happy there and has so much fun. They have helped me socialize and settle her, give me fantastic feedback and advice and show so much care and love to every dog that attends. The facility is amazing and the team are outstanding! Cannot recommend enough!
Thanks you guys for looking after our furbabies whenever we are away… for days….👍👍happy to see they are getting more used to ( after loosing there previously loved pet motel due to them closing! ) Setup is very home- like with great personal spaces for doggies to rest….also amazing play facilities on doggy playground in cozy- paws they seem to enjoy and happy to see them not turning in to skeletons like they did with some other facilities… u know who!🙄🤦♂️ Jody- Colin and team are amazing and very experienced, very trustworthy…. they have also provided invaluable insight in to our fur babies behaviours away from us… thanks guys for all the cares and loves! ❤️
Cosy Paws have been beyond incredible for my dog. They go above and beyond for all their furry friends and treat them like their own family. I can’t thank them enough for everything they do. Love daily facebooks posts too!
We have just had our dogs with Cozy Paws for 2 weeks. Amazing care taken with our 2 dogs. These people know what they are doing and really look after your pet as if it were their own and take care of individual needs. The dogs had a great time. A huge thank you to all the team.
Our fur babies have sooo much fun here. They love the place and the staff. Amazing, safe and enriching environment, incredible staff and super happy and tired fur babies. Couldn't ask for more. ❤️
Good service good information, nicely secluded for Gut Fawkes night. Perhaps a bit expensive then have been used to. $105 for about 30 hours with 2 small intact dogs. Attention yo detail and good after sale follow up
The most amazing team to look after your pooch. Thank you Jody, Colin and the team for looking after Odin and helping with his education.
The team genuinely care for the dogs and you can see the 'guests' having a great time.
Kind friendly helpful genuine interest in providing best care and plan to best suit etc for yr pet fur baby and go beyond the call of duty to help . Great listeners. Tilly loved her 1st overnite stay. Thankyou for yr genuine care.
I had to keep my dog for two weeks boarding. My dg absolutely loved it. Didn't miss us at all. The team are really friendly and caring.
Caring, genuine, well informed staff who can easily manage complex situations. Very grateful to have found them. Thank you so much for taking Jack
We love going to Hamilton Hounds! Nyla absolutely loves going in the morning and would cry in the car to get out and rush into meet all her boyfriends/furfriends and the staff😂 Honestly the best facility as the staff really gets to know your pups and personality. If there were any issues, they would contact and talk about it with you. At the end of the day Nyla loves her treat and when we get home she's knackered out. Bonus when they update on socials and you see your pup having a blast! Would 100% recommend HH if you need a daycare for your pups to have the best time. Thankyou HH team for looking after Nyla🐶💙
Best doggy day care in the Tron! The team are amazing and incredibly passionate about what they do. They know each dogs name, their individual needs and show genuine love to all the dogs. Our girl is so excited to go hang out with all her friends, she can hardly contain her excitement on the drive there, and is exhausted at the end of the day.

My lab Ziggy loves HH, she starts squeaking and getting excited way before we get there and tries to drag me through the door to see all her friends, canine and human! Has the time of her life judging by her toofy grins in the photos.
Hamilton Hounds genuinely care about your dogs and will do whatever is best for your furbaby. Even if that means losing money by letting you know that doggy daycare isn’t the right place for your dog! I appreciate their warmth, the love they show every dog in their care, their sense of humour and flexibility. The groomers are also very good, and responsive to feedback. I wouldn’t take my dog anywhere else.
Really caring, friendly and dog loving staff. The opening hours accommodate all schedules. We couldn't imagine taking our spoilt doggy anywhere else and she'd no doubt put her paw down if we did lol. Highly recommend.
Absolutely love HH, my girl loves the daycare and her overnight stays. HH has amazing opening hours but most of all the staff are absolutely brilliant.
Have been bringing my lab here for a number of years now for both day care and over night stays with no problems. Called over the weekend to book her in to stay overnight and was rudely declined by a lady on the phone saying that my dog needed to be crate trained which she is and that my dog would cause issues with other dogs as it has been too long since she has stayed there overnight. I was amazed as we have never had any issues with this place in the past and a bit of a shame as my dog loves it there.
My wee Kevin loves Hamilton Hounds. He’s so happy and relaxed, he thinks he owns the place and all of the staff. All of the staff are lovely and obviously love dogs. Kevin has stayed overnight, been groomed and is a frequent daycare users. All services have been amazing. Happy dog, happy fur parents 😍😍 …
We have been taking our dog there for daycare since he was a puppy, he loves it and is always happy to go. Also, so easy to get him groomed while he's there for the day. Staff are friendly and experienced, especially in the big dog area where our dog goes to. Opening hours and days to suit lots of different work/schedules, not just regular 9-5.
They are amazing. We have a pitty that is quite reactive with people but she absolutely loves all the staff in Hamilton Hounds. They are such nice, kind people. I would absolutely recommend them.
Jane is a passionate, caring and super responsible dog lover/carer. My wee, highly- reactive rescue shihzu cross adores Jane, in fact she howls with joy and expectation when her truck pulls up! Remarkably, Jane has taught her how to pack walk with little to no reaction! Quite an achievement for a brutally damaged, fearful dog! I can't recommend Doggydayout and Jane more highly for a safe, loving and fun dog environment.
Thoroughly recommend! My dog had so much fun and came home ready for dinner and bed - thanks again Jane!
