Annie sat for our cat, Tuna, over a long weekend. She was extremely kind and self-sufficient. When we arrived home, Tuna was relaxed and happy and our apartment was as clean and tidy as we had left it. Annie would be welcome to sit for us again any time, we'd highly recommend her.
I could not have asked for a better first experience with zeewoi! Jordan and Nataki were great at communicating from the very start, and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I didn’t have to worry for a moment that my cat Anya was feeling lonely because I could tell she warmed up right away, even though she’s usually quite shy! They also went above and beyond making sure my apartment was tidy for when I got home. So grateful and would definitely be honored for them to sit for me again any time!
Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!
Hannah and Joseph were so kind, so communicative, and clean! Kevin seemed so happy in all the photos they sent. Not only did they wash my sheets and towels they used (without my requesting it, simply out of the kindness of their hearts), they ALSO then put my fresh sheets on the bed! 🥹❤️ Such incredible sitters. 10 stars!
Misti was wonderful! She was able to come by before I left town to meet my dog, Grace, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pics or videos and made sure that Grace got tons of snuggle time, which is a major requirement to keep my dog happy :) Cats and skateboards are evil enemies to Grace and it sounds like Misti experienced both and handled it flawlessly! Misti was a great communicator, left everything tidy for me when I got home and Grace was super mellow and relaxed, which tells me she got all the care she needed while I was gone. I highly recommend Misti - I'll definitely be asking her to sit again!
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.
Gwynn was wonderful! She was super communicative, flexible to come to our house beforehand to get oriented, and attentive to details. She connected with our pup, Scout, immediately and we felt so assured that he would be well cared for with her. We hope Gwynn can come stay again another time!
I was thrilled to have Courtenay as our sitter. We had a few last minute changes and she was very accommodating. She is a very pleasant, well spoken person who bonded very quickly with our dog, Pepe. We were in Europe and Courtenay keep us we’ll informed via internet, pictures and all. We came home to a clean house, a happy pet and a delicious pie she left for us in the refrigerator. You would be very pleased to have her as your sitter. Lucy Hottle
Wendy was great, she kept us updated on the dogs and all the fun she had hiking with them on the mountain. I returned home to a very tidy house. My dogs just loved her. I will definitely have Wendy sit for me again and would be very lucky to have her do a sit for you.
Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

Cynthia was a perfect pet sitter for our little kitty. We knew from her extensive experience with cats that Nala was in good hands. She was extremely responsive via texts when we were away, ensuring us that the 2 of them were having a great time. She went absolutely above and beyond by scrubbing our bath and toilets to remove our mineral deposit rings that we haven't been able to get rid of! She even left the name of the product she used so we can get more in the future. The house was cleaner than when we left. We'll have her back anytime!
Florence and Robert were outstanding sitters. We asked them to arrive a day early as our guests to learn the routine on our farm. In getting to know them we found them to be good hearted, down to earth people with a love of animals and diligent in learning our routines to care for our poultry, cats and dog as well as our garden and orchard. Not a typical or easy sit. We travelled with ease knowing our critters were being well taken care of. Arriving home, the house was very clean and looked well cared for. The animals were healthy as were the garden and orchard. Out pets missed them when they left – our dog stared down the driveway after them until their car was out of sight. It is nice to find sitters we would like to hang out with and we look forward to having them sit for us again.
Sharon and Milton were outstanding sitters and if I could give more than 5 stars I certainly would. Reliable, communicative, helpful, self sufficient and tidy, they took great care of my home. More importantly my cats were lovingly cared for and extremely content when we returned. I highly recommend Sharon and Milton without reservation and hope to have them return in the future.
Stefany helped me out big time by stepping in when I asked. She's a local sitter and I wasnt' having any responses so I contacted her and she fit me into her schedule even during the holidays and right after another sit across the country. She took great care of my two cats and home and I very much appreciate it!
Cung is a diligent and communicative cat sitter and house guest, and we'd highly recommend him! We hope to have him back again soon
Marianna was an incredible house sitter and cat sitter. She gave our property and sweet kitty top notch care. She is kind, easy to communicate with, thorough, etc. Would highly recommend her, you will not be disappointed.
Angel was absolutely the best house sitter we could have hoped for. She is a very warm, open and diligent person and our two cats adored her. She looked after our house and garden with really conscientious care. She won over our very timid cat, Billie, and sent regular photos of both cats looking supremely content which gave us perfect peace of mind. The house was completely spotless on our return and the garden was fabulous... no mean feat since there was a heatwave while we were away and she kept everything watered and in great condition. We would have Angel back at the drop of a hat and cannot recommend her highly enough.
Lindsey watched our cat and dog for a long weekend when we went out of town. She was a very communicative sitter sending frequent pictures and voice notes with updates. She did a great job of following their schedules and giving them attention. The animals seemed to be happy and relaxed when we returned home and I believe Lindsey enjoyed getting to discover all of the eateries our town has to offer. A win-win for everyone!
Caroline was a fabulous sitter and looked after our cat and the house beautifully. She is sensible and very self-sufficient but also kept us informed. We came home to a happy cat and a tidy house. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to others and hope she will sit for us again in the future!
Cat and Paul were wonderful sitters - our cats were contented and calm when we returned. And the house was spotless. Plus Paul mowed our entire yard including the back meadow - what a surprise! We very much enjoyed visiting with them as well and getting to know them. Highly recommend :)
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home overnight at Sittsy.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least 30 A$ per visit, per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Sittsy.
What do people do with their cats when they go on vacation?
Inviting a cat sitter to your home, boarding the cat with a local business, asking a friend, family or neighbour to feed and check the well-being. The most efficient way to leave your cat during your vacation is with Sittsy cat sitters overnight, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
I give adore pet care 5 stars can not fault the care they give to our 9 month old puppies they had never been in care before. They are so caring our puppies love going there and come back soooo happy highly recommend their service.
Barb and the team looked after our guinea pigs and birds while we were away. They are amazing people, very caring and done an amazing job looking after them. Thankyou for keeping us updated with photo's we really appreciate it. We will definitely use you again 😁 …
Absolutely fantastic service from Barb and the team! We had our dogs checked on and fed over 3 nights and it was wonderful receiving updates and videos of the dogs while we were away. Comforting, kind, and comprehensive service 😁😁 …
My little man has stayed here for daycare n sleepovers, he loves it, I cannot rate Barb n the workers Enuff, they go above and beyond to help me out wherever they can. Highly recommend doggy daycare. It is a homely environment for my little man, he is not stuck in a cold concrete room. It gives me peace of mind when I have to go to hospital that he is well looked after. Thankyou to you all
Barb and the team are amazing. I always recommend these guys to everyone. Absolutely wonderful and very caring. Frankie adores Barb!
Use this service occasionally when I am leaving my dog for the day (or more) as she's a big sook and loves company. They take care of her and she's always got other dogs to play with so she's happy.
Disappointed When l picked up my dog the male was trying to catch my dog and in order to do this he shoved a few of the other dogs out of the way and told them to get out of his way. He pushed the back section of their bodies. I had to wash my dog as soon as l got home. This was a last minute booking. I will not return.
My 2 yr old labrador loved staying here - made lots of new friends.
Macy always enjoys her time with Barb!
Reliable and friendly pet sitting service.
We’ve send Tiger to this place many times, the experience has always been incredible. The first time with them was even only months after he had a major surgery in his knee. I’ve communicated about his special care requirements and they reviewed and promised that dogs from different families are separated at all times, so safety won’t be an issue at all. When we picked him up, Tiger’s mobility was maintained well, couldn’t be thankful enough for that. Can also choose to pay a small fee for a bath before picking up, love how worry free the entire experience has been.
It was a great experience! I was very relieved that the dog was handed over to them! Ask about your dog's eating habits before you leave. On average three or four days will also send some photos to us to see! The dog is having a great time there! The price is also very reasonable! This is the best dog boarding service I've ever seen!
I was very anxious to leave my 2 dogs at a kennel. After meeting the team at Anchorage kennels l booked them in for 10 days over Christmas. They always responded to my messages quickly and after seeing pictures of them playing, l knew l had made the right decision. Can't thank you all enough, my boys came home happy, will definitely use again.
The best boarding ever! My dog Damon has been to many different boarding before, but none of them have been as fun as here. The staff here are very professional and dog friendly. They take great care of my dog.Damon was here for 2 months straight and never got sick during that time. They take the dogs for free time for half an hour every day, in the morning and in the afternoon, which is my favourite. Because large dogs really need this amount of activity!
Anchorage looked after our two cats and dog during the Christmas break. They provided photo updates by Facebook. When we picked them up they were happy and super clean. Thank you for looking after our little ones.
We sent our 6-year-old Rottie boy for boarding for nearly 20 days, he came back home happy, clean and healthy. We are very satisfied with the service, will definitely send our dog here again next time!
We left our dog there for a week and felt that the dog was well taken care of. The boarding environment was also very clean and tidy, and the service was also good. The employees here were very enthusiastic.
Due illness and injury I haven’t been able to write a review on this boarding kennel. We dropped out little white dog off to this kennel early in May this year while we went away for nine days picking her up the day after Mother’s day, 13 th May. When Maggie and her bedding was brought out to me I was in a state of shock. She was wet, bedraggled and very smelly. Her bedding was in a worse condition. It was saturated, muddy and stank of other dogs. Maggies doesn’t have a doggy smell. But she was stinking and her bedding was disgraceful. We paid a lot of money to have our dog looked after and it was evident from her condition that she wasn’t looked after and that obviously her bed was used by other dogs. I was speechless with anger. I had to clean up our car after having the stinky wet bed and dog in the car. I would not recommend this kennel and have since heard other horror stories about this kennel.
I sent the puppy here in the coldest weather, and it's obvious that she was taken care of very well. The lady patiently selected friendly dog neighbors for Peppa. The speed of updating photos during the foster care process is also very fast. Thank you very much for taking care of Peppa. See you during the Christmas holiday!
I foster my dog here, and I am very satisfied with their service! Staffs are very responsible. They send me photos and videos to let me know what my dog is doing, which makes me feel very relieved. The most important thing is my dog is having a great time here! Every time I took him home, he was full of vitality and happiness. I highly recommend this foster care centre. They really care about the happiness of every dog!
I cannot recommend Gippsland Paws and More enough. I was absolutely blown away by not only the facilities, but also the staff and the culture present at this kennel. Every interaction I had left me feeling more confident and relaxed my dogs were going to get the best experience while we were overseas. Nothing I asked was ever met with any hesitancy or with an attitude I was asking too much. I could rave for days about this kennel but will briefly summarise below: -fed own food -was allowed to bring crate + toys + bed + jackets -medication given daily -dogs stayed together in a run that had an outside section. -dogs from different households don’t interact. -exercised in a big area daily. -supplements given. -staff give off such good vibes!! Again I cannot rave enough about how FANTASTIC this kennel is and it is SO reasonably priced. This kennel is the unicorn of all kennels in Victoria.
Oh my gosh! Life is so much easier now that I feel safe to leave my Max somewhere. Gippsland Paws and more came highly recommended by a trusted work colleague. It’s non pretentious and they have zero concern showing you through the impeccably clean facility. The facility is temperature controlled for those hot or cold days/nights. There are two buildings, the office/cattery and then the separate dog facility which is a respectable distance from the cats. The cats in there from what I’ve seen are really relaxed and chilled, they’ll come for a pat through the caged play area. The staff gained my trust really easily by the relaxed, friendly and professional approach. The measurement of how Max feels is by the wagging tail and he just goes off with ‘his friends’, the staff. He doesn’t even look back at me 🤣🤣 There have been no negatives to having Max stay here.
Amazing team, super friendly and look after our border collie so well. Charlie has stayed here many times over the last 2 years. They get busy at weekends so book ahead. Highly recommend.
All our furkids have loved going to Aunty Sams over the years. As soon as we tell them they are going to see Aunty Sam, Aunty Tegan and Aunty Tracey they race in to the back of the car and stay there until we leave, even if we’re not going until the end of the day 🤣. The team do an amazing job and give us peace of mind to go away ✅ …
Marvellous treatment for our puppy,first time he had been in kennels,Sam and staff are really caring. Thank you.
Team is lovely to deal with and make it so easy. My dogs love going there and seeing Sam and Tegan. Very well looked after. Great place.
Wonderful care for our elderly cat. Very happy with the service and the price is reasonable too.
Love you guys very much always looking after my dogs , so lucky to have you and take such great care of BRUNO, and Brutus have a great Christmas and see you in March love ya work xo
The best place ever clean and fresh lovely staff Never have to worry when I leave my cat 🐈 …
Lambshank very good
Tamara looked after our dog Teddy for a weekend. He was treated as if he were at our own home. I'd highly recommend her to care for your pooch!
My fur baby Teddy had a wonderful stay this weekend with Tamara and her doggo. Thanks for the great care and attention, he looked very happy in the pic we received.
Tamara was excellent with my dogs, there were cleaned and well exercised, my dogs slept all day once they came home
Cannot say enough positive things about my experience with Linda and Rod looking after our two Cavoodle's, Oscar and Poppy for 10 days. Linda is incredibly thorough and thoughtful in her service and genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. Linda updated us every day whilst overseas with pictures and videos, which reassured us that they were very, very happy. Oscar and Poppy had never been away from home before so I was a bit nervous, however I had nothing to worry about it was like home from home to them, lots of walks to the beach and doggy parks. I would definitely recommend them to any dog owner. And they will be back again. Thank you Linda and Rod.
The dogs were very happy with Tamara and her pooches . They had a bath before I picked them up which I really appreciated. Happy and tired doggos .
Tamara did not return my phone call
Great experience here with tamara
Awesome!!
