Providing Pet Sitting in the Yarriambiack, Australia
We are Arno (30y) and Carmen (28y) and we are travelling through Australia atm
Carmen and Arno left our house as we left it and our animals seemed happy and well cared for.
Sofia and Nicole were excellent sitters to our 2 playful cats (an adult tabby and a BIG Maine coon kitten). They gave us a couple updates daily with pictures, as we requested. They were easy to communicate with before and throughout the entire sit. When we came home, our apartment was tidy (probably neater than we left it!) and our cats were relaxed and happy. They were also kind enough to leave us with some sweet bandanas for our boys. We were super pleased with the quality of care, and would happily recommend Sofia and Nicole to anyone in need of a pet or house sitter!
Hilary was a fantastic pet sitter for our cat - you would be so lucky to have her care for your pet and home. She took exceptional care of her and our home. Hilary played so much with her and took the best care. She was communicative, easy to coordinate with, and left everything super clean for us when we came back. Five stars is understating how extraordinary she was - we cannot recommend her enough!!
I'm delighted to have found Lisa as a sitter and hope to have her back again! She was detail oriented and clearly cared about my cats' well being. She asked good questions about the cats' routines and needs and about the house to be sure she'd meet my expectations and have a comfortable and successful sit. She communicated very well before and throughout the sit and even though I was unreachable for much of the time I was confident everyone was in good hands. Lisa left the house in immaculate condition and the cats were relaxed and happy when I got home. What a delight!
Kathryn was amazing. She helped me figure plans out after another sitter dropped out at the last minute and saved the day! My cat and fish were well taken care of, and she was super communicative when my tank had a problem child moment. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, helpful, and caring sitter!!
Kimberly was a wonderful sitter who watched our two cats for us while we were out. She was willing to come a day early to help acclimate herself with the animals, and this was exceedingly helpful in making sure the cats would be comfortable with her during our absence. I would highly recommend Kimberly if you're looking for a responsible, caring sitter.
Laura came across the country to sit for us. She arrived a day early and from the moment my pets met her our Lokie was smitten. We have one shy cat Luna and she was out and about on the first night. Laura kept us updated and shared her Adventures as well. We do live in a small hideaway of a town so seeing that she was able to enjoy herself was nice. We returned to a clean home, laundry done also, and very content pets. Lokie was sad for a few days as he missed his friend. We would recommend Laura as a sitter to anyone and would have her back again. 5 plus stars. ⭐
I highly recommend Daniel as a pet sitter and house sitter! He took care of Pipa for over three months this winter and did an outstanding job. From the first day, it was clear that he had a genuine love for animals and a great deal of experience with pets. He was very attentive to his needs and always made sure he was comfortable, well-fed, and had plenty of playtime. In addition to his pet-sitting duties, Daniel also went above and beyond by processing my postal mail and keeping the house well-organized. He was very responsible and reliable, always arriving on communicating, putting the bins out, and watering the plants on time, and keeping me updated with photos and messages. I felt completely at ease knowing that my cat was in such good hands and that my home was well-cared for while I was away. When I returned from my trip, Pipa was happy, healthy, and well-adjusted, thanks to Daniel's excellent care. I would definitely hire him again and recommend him to anyone in need of a trustworthy, caring, and responsible pet and house sitter!
Anna was a wonderful sitter for our furry friends. My dog, Luke, bonded with her and was sad when she left. My cats would crawl under the covers and curl up with her at night. She is a true animal magnet and lover. I highly recommend Anna to anyone who wants their pets to recieve first class love while away.
Jenima is an excellent sitter! She is organized, communicative and flexible throughout the stay. We needed a sitter at the last minute because Jazz got sick, and Jenima saved us. We left a little worried about him, but Jenima took care of him really well and kept us informed. Cats love her! We definitely recommend her to take care of your pets!
Heidi was an outstanding cat sitter for my Luna! She was very communicable via calls or texts. She followed all my guidelines for feeding and care of Luna. Luna was very content when I arrived home thanks to Heidi! My home was immaculate when I arrived and she did some snow shoveling. She even pulled a large broken tree branch off my roof following a windstorm. I hope Heidi is available for my next trip because she is awesome. Jim
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 for free at Zeewoi.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least $20 per visit, per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Zeewoi.
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 Zeewoi cat sitters for free, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
Debby and Pete are so kind to my dog. They so genuinely care for all the dogs they have at the kennels and I am so grateful.
Excellent condition and safe care of your pets, well worth it. Lovely Owners.
HIGHLY recommend! so happy with our experience here. our dog Lucy stayed for 1 week. owner was lovely and facilities were amazing. we had a photo update and much to our surprise she had also been bathed before we picked up! exceeded our expectations. Will be going back!
When I picked up my dog after 11 days, he was deeply depressed, clearly was not eating, and was emaciated (ribs and hips sticking out). I was absolutely devastated when I saw him. His weight had dropped from 22 kg to 19 kg. I talked to the owner a day later when I was less upset, but I feel our discussion has not explained how this could happen, or not happen again to another dog, so I feel compelled to report our experience.
Our first time at Wet Nose The owners Debbie and Peter are dog lovers first and business owners second. After two weeks we picked up two healthy, happy, CLEAN and flea free dogs. Could not be happier. Well worth the 340 km round trip to get them there (past a number of other kennels)
Lovely owners, good set up, recommend you ask they call a vet if your dog loses significant weight whilst there to avoid preventable injury and costly procedures.
Very reasonably priced and the people who run it are very friendly. My little man came out happy and healthy, and wanted to have a final goodbye with the owners - so they must have treated him very well!
Family owned business with lovely owners. Our anxious large medium dog is always very excited when we arrive and also happy when we return 🙂🐕 …
Daisy dog loves staying at wet noses..thanks for your expert care xxx
This is the best kennel ever. My dogs are always happy to visit. They are always cared of very well.
Horrible judgemental person Michelle is,she basically accused my dog of being aggressive and biting her staff even though she's never seen or met the dog I told her he's naughty tears up things when I'm not around and I need a break also was a therapy dog yet this ignorant person refused to listen or hear my opinion of My dog of ten years ridiculous and judgemental if you want her to take your dog then tell her there angels otherwise her jobs too difficult for her to handle FFS not impressed at all ignorant people..also my dog gets along amazing with other dogs he's well socialised and an amazing dog who's just naughty not violent when dad goes out ... Michelle is ridiculous
Feel very safe leaving our dogs here. Was able to enjoy our time away. Highly recommend
Our cat has been to Horsham Pet Lodge a number of times. The place always looks clean and comfortable. Staff are very caring of our pet and happy to answer any questions. When we pick our cat up, he is always settled and content. I would highly recommend Horsham Pet Lodge.
Helpful, knowledgeable and let's your pet stay even if the F3 shot was not administered within 2 weeks prior to booking.
The staff were lovely and accommodating. The enclosures were large and our two cats were very well looked after.
We have used Horsham Pet many times for our cat Timmy and dog Penny. Michelle has a really great setup here and takes great care of the pets. We thoroughly recommend this place. Thankyou for your great service and care, Michelle.
Our family left our beloved dog with Michelle at Horsham Pet Lodge for 10 days. On pick up Tex was in amazing condition,relaxed and clearly happy. I would not hesitate to recommend Horsham Pet Lodge to any one,they are the 5 star Hilton for Pets. I may even drop the kids off there on our next holiday!!! AAAA++++ Regards Christian and Tanya
Best kennels ever. Staff showed genuine interest in our dog. Will definitely use again!
Easy to deal with. Friendly staff. Hours are a bit weird though to pick up and drop off.
Got our pet's in on short notice Thanks again
This place must be permanently closed cause they never answer the phone or call back
perhaps there needs to be accreditation for dog kennels (not a resort!), if so I imagine this one would fail.
So happy with the care that our pooch receives here. The staff clearly love playing with the dogs and they made a special effort to give our dog social time with others since she is now a solo dog. This was very much appreciated by us and we really enjoy seeing photos on Facebook, having snuggles with staff and other dogs. Thanks so much and we'll be back again soon :)
Very happy with our experience at Swan Hill Pet Boarding! It was the first time leaving our dog overnight so we were quite nervous but the staff were so relaxed and reassuring! Remy was super happy after his stay and I have no doubt he was well cared for.
The care Smudgy - and now Ella - have been shown when I have boarded them with Swan Hill Boarding has always been wonderful. The recent visit for Smudgy also included his sister who we adopted last year. Ella was apparently a little shy at first as she hadn’t been boarded before - but both seemed very happy and chilled when I picked them up. I am a very anxious person - and the team took some snaps for me to abate my anxiety whilst they were boarded. I was also able to pay a little more for Smudgy and Ella to be fed their dental biscuits. I want to acknowledge Taylah and Brandon as Smudgy - and now Ella’s - carers during their stays - they have always been so very kind and caring with both cats. I also want to mention Jen, Nigel and Trudie whom I haven’t met in person but have also shown Smudgy and Ella great care. I have found Swan Hill Boarding to be a fantastic business with whom I have boarded Smudgy and Ella with the utmost faith that both cats will be looked after with the care and respect for how uniquely beautiful their furry clients are.
We were very happy with Swan Hill Pet Boarding. We had never left our dog anywhere before so were a little apprehensive for the first time, however we needn't have been. She seemed to sense that it was a safe place and was happy enough to stay. Thank you for looking after our dog and us so well.
True professionals who care for the total wellbeing of your pets. Our dogs and cats are supplied with quality pet food which is vital for their growth and health. Pet training is offered which is kindly done and effective. Services such as grooming and nail clipping are welcome and carefully and expertly done. I am confident should I have to board a pet it would be in good hands.
Here, you can really see people who love and take care of your pets! We were absolutely delighted to find this pets paradise! Our puppy had so much fun! Thank you for the positive experience, for the kidness and for sharing precious advices with us regarding how to take the best care of our fur baby.
I cannot speak highly enough of the compassion shown by Taylor and staff to me. My puppy Benson has been treated like a King. I would never leave him anywhere else. He is one happy little boy at Swan Hill pet boarding. ❤
Such lovely caring people. My dogs love doggy day care with their furry friends and I know they’re having a great time and getting lots of love while they’re there at school or boarding. My pups are always beyond excited when we pull up.
I don't think much of your business practices adding an adminstration charge of $25 to re issue an invoice that wasn't paid by 11.00am the following day after my booking. I rang back to pay the fee to be confronted with the additional charge. Now I have taken my business elsewhere. I have used kennels all over Australia the past 3yrs and never experienced this sort of practice, nor had to pay for my booking in advance. I am also a repeat customer but will not be using this service again.
Twice now I've taken My two cats to the cattery on short notice and they have graciously assisted both times. The cats have been happy with their experiences (as far as I can tell, they're always annoyed to be in the car). Seeing updates on Instagram is really nice, and it shows that extra level of care and cuteness for all the animals.
