Dog Sitters in Darebin

Very relieved at the great service that Elyse provided from Pawshake. My 20 yo pussy needed a lot of attention and cleaning up after and I was extremely happy to see she was looked after. Elyse even sent me videos so that I did not worry while on holiday. Excellant Service.

It was very easy to find a sitter with Pawshake. The app is well done and the communication with Charlie, our sitter was also very easy. Our 4 month puppy Paku has fallen in love with Charlie and her dog Opinel. We will use Pawshake again and Charlie is the perfect carer for Paku. We had a very tired and happy boy at home that night.

Easy online service to use. Brittany had a meet and greet with our 2 cats and took wonderful care of our boys, even sending some photos to us! Our cats were very relaxed when we came back. Will definitely use this service again

I had a fantastic experience having Sharon from Pawshake care for my cat while I was away. She was wonderfully communicative and kept me up to date on my cat’s care - despite my cat hiding from her throughout the week I was away! Pawshake was very easy to book care through and easy to use!

I discovered Pawshake when looking for in-home care for my rescue dog, and I was able to get in touch with some great local pet-sitters. Since then I'm using Pawshake regularly when my dog needs some extra company or a walk while I'm at work - and I've had nothing but positive experiences. The pet-sitters on Pawshake are all genuine animal lovers who have all been so kind, professional, and taken great care of my fur baby! Being able to organise meet and greets before booking is so valuable too. A great service.

Our cats were well looked after and our sitter was terrific in caring for their wellbeing. They began to warm up to her in just a few days. We have already booked her for our next holiday.

Thanks Pawshake for the creating a unique service like this. Having recently adopted a puppy, I was hesitant to put him into a dog kennel / hotel. As a child the only option we had was dog kennels, and our family dog was always traumatised when we collected her. Admittedly, things have improved since then, but even recently, I saw one Dog Hotel that offers just 30 mins of play time per day! And you have to pay extra if you want more socialisation. Unbelievable! With Pawshake we connected with a great petsitter (my glowing review of her is on the app) and it meant that our pooch had a holiday while we were away on our holiday! Regularly photos of him made us feel at ease, and when we collected him, he looked happy and well looked after. (And in addition, it was a LOT cheaper than dog hotels / kennels). Thank you!

Thank Pawshake for the service and let us to find the reliable dog sitters so easily. This was the first time for our dog to leave home, but he had a good time with the sitters. We received our dog's photos through Pawshake everyday and were very happy with it.

Pawshake was very easy to use and reliable too. Left our little dog for the first time in March. Was very happy with the sitter so used them again when we went away for the long weekend recently. Our little Teddy was cool and collective when we picked him up after he spent 3 nights with the sitter. Highly recommend the use of this website for doggy sitting.

Helen made me feel reassured that leaving our 5 month old puppy over Xmas was no hardship. Mimmi was happy to see me when I picked her up but calm & happy

Great communication and great service. We booked grooming appointment for my two sheebs. Adrian took the time to walk them and get familiar with them so as to make bathing easier. Shout out to Adrian and Martin for taking such good care of our pups! Would recommend and will come back!

Couldn't be happier with MDN Pet Care! They were amazing with our two Groodles. We loved getting regular updates and seeing all the fun they were having in the photos. It's clear these guys are true dog lovers, and we felt completely at ease leaving our pups in their care. We've already booked them again - highly recommend!

I hired Martin and Adrian from MDN Pet Care to look after my pets from my house while I travelled overseas. They did an amazing job following our given instructions and send lots of updates. We came home and I can tell my pets had really built a bond with them. And my house was also safe and sound. If you’re looking for a pet sitter who is reliable to pet sit your pets at your house I would recommend MDN Pet Care. I will also be using their grooming services too!

We left our baby Cookie with MDN Pet Care for 43 days! This was the second time we were using MDN team’s services and we’re just as happy with the results as we were the first time. Throughout the course Adrian gave us regular updates and was prompt with his replies. He took amazing care of Cookie. She adjusted well with the other pets there and was in a great condition when we brought her home again. I would 100% recommend MDN Pet Care to anyone looking for a safe home for their fur babies!

MDN pet care is a great service for looking after your dogs. I’ve been away 2 weeks for holiday and my pet has been looked after so well by Adrian, he’s so nice & sweet! he updated me photos about my dog every day and my pet seemed to be happy being with him. Additionally, the price is so reasonable! I would recommend this service to any dog lovers 👍🏻👌

Martin & Adrian are the best! So caring and attentive to my little 5 month old puppy! Will recommend and definitely be a repeat client! :) Loved the regular updates and hearing about her day when I picked her up after work!

Adrian and Martin are so lovely and welcoming! 😊 My puppy absolutely loves getting groomed there. The team are perfectionists and take their time ensuring your puppy finds it a positive experience. 🐶 They also send you cute pictures as they go with updates can’t recommend enough! 😊 …

Recently i used MDN pet care absolutely amazing awesome service needed someone to look after my 11 year old kelpie at the last minute have work Martin and Adrian we more than happy to look after belle they came out to pick her up as my car is of the road really friendly will be using MDN pet care again recommended to work colleagues and family friends awesome job guys thank you once again FERGUS

As co-parents, we never thought we would have to leave both our babies for three weeks, and there is no one who came to mind but MDN. Adrian has been more than a foster parent to Gogo and Momo. In these last three weeks, we have seen both babies get so comfortable and loving in the company of Adrian, almost so that they are going to miss him badly. Thank you so much for such personalized care of my cats like they are your own. Thank you for sharing continuous updates and sharing their snippets every day. You not only give us reassurance but also make us believe that our babies are in the best hands in Melbourne.❤️

Adrian and Martin took great care of Billy. He was really happy to spend time in their care, and it was a huge help for us! Will return.

Love Kip Fairfield. My dog always has the best time here, and comes home tired and ready for a rest. The staff are all really lovely, it’s easy to book and you get super cute video and photo updates throughout the day.

My pup Ernie has been at KaPooch since he was about 13 weeks and I believe it has helped him grow into the happy social dog he is today. He races in, never looking back in the mornings because he loves the staff and his doggy besties so much and when we collect him he is completely tuckered out! I have such a lot of faith in all the lovely staff knowing they all treat him as their own. Plus I know as dog trainers they are teaching him good manners and lovely walking skills. I have such peace of mind when I am at work, knowing he is safe and stimulated with training and play. Cannot recommend Kapooch highly enough. I just love them and am so glad they are in my neighbourhood! Thanks Kapooch!

Our dog Eddie has been attending Kip Fairfield for some months now, he absolutely loves it, great crew there looking after our fur baby. Eddie comes home absolutely exhausted!

Our dog gains so much from attending Kip. Fairfield is her second Kip location and it is amazing. Her social skills are outstanding because of the work that the team at Kip do with her each week. Highly recommended!

Our dog LOVES going to KIP! He's scratching at the door to get in at drop off and we have to carry or drag him to car to go home! Haha. He's a Big Bull Arab pup so the struggle is real! Highly recommend! They're such "dog people" there... You can tell they adore all the doggos! Pic: screenshot of Kip's insta of our happy boy with his mates at KIP.

I bring our precious pup here every week & I know that she is in for a great time! The staff are fun, courteous, completely trustworthy & have a genuine love of dogs. Don';t even think twice - get a membership & treat your dog!!

I take my two dogs here every week, and it's always such a delight! I've never had a bad experience! The staff are all so friendly, and you can tell that they love the puppers. They send updates on how they're going during the day, and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a doggy daycare!

Our puppy Wally absolutely LOVES coming to Kip Fairfield. He jumps out of the car and can’t wait to walk through the door. The team at Kip Fairfield are amazing and we feel very comfortable sending Wally off to daycare twice a week!

Alfie could not love his Kip family more! The staff are beyond amazing and will keep you updated with the best photos and videos while you are at work. If I could rate more than 5 stars I would! Thank you for being so good to our Alfie Bear 🐶❤️

Cleo loves it there - easy drop off and pick up and updates about the dog through the day. Really good.

We have used Sharon's services a number of times now. Cannot recommend a better sitter who knows how to look after double coated dogs. Highly recommend Sharon with many years of experience.

Sharon looked after our boy for 3 weeks while we were away. He came back happy and healthy so it was clear that he was well looked after during his stay. He also enjoyed the company of Teddy and other dogs. She was easy to get in touch with and promptly gave us updates when requested

Sharon and Jessica care for my two golden retrievers on a regular basis. The dogs now run in happily when they are dropped off. Sharon sends regular updates and photos. She is reliable and the dogs are well fed and exercised and given lots of affection. Sharon genuinely cares for all the pets that come into her care.

Sharon takes the best care of my 2 golden retriever girls. One has more anxiety in general but she loves going to GoldenPawz and runs in the door happily when we take her. We are so comfortable knowing they are in such good hands.

Sharon and Jessica have taken very good care of my dog. Sharon sent photos and updates regularly while we were away. Definitely recommending Golden Pawz Pet Sitting to our friends and family :)

I was recommended Golden Pawz by my cousin who said it was like dropping your dog over to a friend's house. Sharon and Jessica clearly love dogs and it was it was great to know our border collie Koby was having a nice time while we were away. The photo updates and messages from Sharon made us feel really comfortable that Koby was happy and being well looked after. We will definately be using Sharon again to look after our boy. Highly recommended!

Sharon and Jessica have been caring for Klaus (black and tan dachshund) for a few months now. They have special sausage dog play days and Klaus can't wait to visit! He is always very excited to leave the house and always returns home tired and satisfied. Thanks for all the care!

My dog Paris was well looked after by Sharon and Jessica for over a month recently. Paris had a great time and enjoyed her start. Both Sharon and Jessica showed great love for Paris. The regular communications and flexibility provided (with my travel plans changing) were greatly appreciated. I highly recommend Golden Paws for their pet sitting services. Paris is already looking forward to being back for a stay :) Thank you again Sharon and Jessica!

Our mini groodle Buddy loves going to stay with Sharon. He always comes home so happy and relaxed! We feel so comfortable leaving him behind now when we go away.

Sharon and Jessica take care of Dino often - and practically his second home. The service is flexible in case of unplanned changes, they are very communicative and provide plenty of updates during Dinos stay. Dino is always excited when I bring him over - I highly recommend Golden Paw!

Very fair quotation and speedy response response to my initial enquiry. When I arrived it was very easy to find and I could tell straight away I was leaving my two dogs with caring people just by the way they had a genuine interest with my dogs. I didn't have to worry at all and when I picked them up they were very happy and smelt so good. The owners were very friendly and interested and I would definitely recommend them to anyone with fur babies that want that personal service. Beats any kennel or resort hands down. If I could give more stars I would.

Would recommend pet stays to anyone! Happy i found them. Janene & Res are great & give updates of your pet during the day! My dog goes 2 x per week :)

Our 7.5 month old Golden Retriever Ocean had her first doggy day care session here last week. We were very thankful that we could get a daycare spot last minute, as we had to head out of town for the day. We got update pictures and she looked very happy playing with all the other dogs. She made some new friends and was very from all the play, that she didn’t even want to walk up the stairs to go to bed. We will definitely be bringing Ocean back for more play dates. Thanks so much for taking such good care of our girl.

We love sending Winnie and Mini here, they always come back home completely exhausted and always excited to go back! Jeannene is really fast and efficient. Also noticed the development in our puppies training. We love it hear!

We highly recommend the service of Pet Stays, professional, warm and caring Team who looked after our Teddy while we were on holidays. Jeannene and Reza are doing an amazing job. Thank you! We are very grateful! We will definitely ask your service in the future.

I have had the best of experience! Jeannene and the team at Pet stays They are wonderful caring and totally understand that you’re missing your pet when you’re away. Sending you photos and updates of them making new friends & how they are enjoying their time away. I have one and a half year old labrador that is a happy friendly dog I know when I drop him off with the team at Pet stays he will be safe in their care & I will get to have quality cuddles because he will be so tired after having a party with his new friends Thank you again, Emma & Hector

I was lucky to find PetStays when the pet hotel cancelled Chloe’s accommodation at the last minute. Jeannene made the effort to answer all my questions and assist me with arranging pick-up for Chloe. Chloe enjoys her stay at Pet Stays and has been there for long vacations since last year. She is always excited to be picked up by Jeannene. I can tell that Jeannene, Reza and the other staff took great care of Chloe, as she always returns home happy and well-groomed. I get lots of photo updates every week. They help Chloe socialise with the other dogs and pamper her with treats.

Thank you Jeannene and Reza! Ronnie loves his stays with you and we love receiving the cute photo updates. Highly recommend!

Thank you so much for taking such awesome care of our fur baby! Hearing how excited she was to see you every morning totally made our day while we were away. We can’t recommend your services enough and will definitely be back! Thanks for making both us and our big fur ball feel so welcome and loved!

Alfie loves going for his adventures to Petstays. He enjoys the extra company while I am at work. It’s great to know that he is safe and entertained while I’m at work. A little on the expensive side compared with alternate daycares, but the personal experience is a positive.

We couldn’t be more grateful for Cub Club. Our dog Occy used to be a bit shy and awkward with the other dogs, but after spending time at cub club he is much more confident and loves going now. They are always posting these little shorts videos throughout the day and you can see different activities and how much fun they’re having. We trust Nuala completely with our dog, and it’s been amazing, he also stayed overnights when we needed it and Occy came back home his happy self!

Cub club is the best day care I've take my dog to! Nuala is so welcoming and has a wonderful calming energy that makes my dog feel safe and happy. Thank you so much for caring for my Bear boy! I love being able to take him to such a well run day care.

Can't be happier than how much we are now. Our dog started Cub Club since he was puppy, and he is now such a well behaviour and super friendly with other dogs. I had searched many places before deciding. I still believe this place is the one we can trust for our dog. Many thanks for Nuala and the team!!

Our chihuahuas have been attending Cub Club regularly for over a year now, and they absolutely love it. Nuala, Shai and the team are fantastic – they genuinely care for the dogs and know our two so well. It’s clear they take the time to build strong relationships with each dog, which gives us total confidence that our wee ones are in great hands. We’ve also been really impressed with how supportive the team has been of our training goals. Their consistency and care have made a noticeable difference, and we’ve noticed our dogs have developed very polite play styles and a great understanding of boundaries. It’s wonderful to see them interacting so well with other dogs, both at daycare and beyond. It’s such a relief to have a place where our dogs are happy, safe, and thriving. We can’t recommend Cub Club highly enough!

We've been sending our anxious girl, Cleo, to Cub Club for two years now, and I can't recommend them enough! Even though we moved 1.5 hours away from Melbourne, we still drive back whenever we need overnight care because we trust Nuala so much. Cleo can be a nervous dog, but Nuala and the team have been so patient and understanding with her. We’re incredibly grateful for the love and attention they give her every time!

Cub Club are absolutely Amazing! They provide a safe and fun environment for all dogs and always welcome my dog. Even for longer stays they are super accomodating and have great prices! I couldn’t be happier with their service and would recommend to any dog owner who is second guessing whether to socialise or use a doggy day care to 100% look into Cub Club!

During the working week, Cub club ensures our Border Collie gets a huge healthy dose of socialisation with friendly dogs. Super convenient, reasonable price and we love that we can check out the instragram feed to see our dog having fun. Our little guy was quite shy and fearful around other dogs after he was attacked at a dog park. We did a lot at home and with friend's dogs, to resocialise our little guy. We expressed his predicament to Nuala, who was very supportive, prior to starting up at Cub Club. After three weeks at Cub Club, he began to feel comfortable around other dogs and returned to his happy, social self. We couldn't be more pleased!

Best doggy daycare in Melbourne! Our Alma comes here every Friday and she absolutely loves it! She’s always so eager to run in every time she sees Nuala when we drop her off and it’s just so heartwarming to see how much she adores her. Cub Club has become Alma’s second home and we always appreciate the genuine love and care they provide, not only for her, but for all the dogs that come to play. Definitely a trust-worthy choice for pet parents!

My mini dachshund bonsai attends every Thursday and has the absolute time of his life. Nuala and the team have really helped bonsai with his social skills around other dogs. Nuala has also accommodated last min early drop offs and overnight stays.

Top class experience and service. 😃 I have been taking my little pup for a few weeks to the doggy day care. The cub club experience exceeds a regular day care. My dog leaps out of the car keen for the fun run with her pals, and loves the gentle handling of the highly experienced staff.🤗 I've noticed that her behaviour has changed over the weeks as she orients herself around well behaved dogs, my working dog is learning settle time which isn't easy in active dogs. 😅 Definitely a two for one gain as my pup is not only burning her physical and mental stimulation reserves but also learning good behaviourism which is easily translated from the well behaved dogs at the daycare.🐶 Definitely would recommend to everyone who has a busy dog who is looking for behavioural improvements as these dogs can learn through mimicking behaviours. 🐕 Thanks Cub club.

Gwen had the best time at Kip Kew for her first day at daycare! Ines, Liz and the team were all brilliant, providing detailed information of how the day would work as well as updates throughout the day to let us know how Gwen was doing which we loved. They show a genuine care for your dog and its well-being which is really reassuring to know your pup is in great care. Can’t wait for Gwen to see them all again soon!

I am so glad I finally tried Kip! My dog is lovely but also quite nervous about trying new things. I adopted her when she was 2, and I've been gradually introducing her to new things over the last year or so. I'd been debating whether she would suit daycare or not, and finally did a trial day about a month ago. I couldn't believe it when I saw a video of her playing on her very first day! The staff are so lovely, giving me a full account of how she goes each day after pick up. She's been once a week since her first day, and some days she has been a bit more nervous and kept to herself more. But since she's started daycare she's actually EAGER to get in the car! I was a bit hesitant to try daycare, but it has made my life easier this last month. I'm confident my dog's being cared for attentively and professionally, and if there are any issue's I'll be told. I am so glad I have a place I can trust to take care of her and put her wellbeing above just taking money. Strong recommend!

As much as Harry does not love his photo taken at Kip Kew (he looks so thrilled!), he absolutely LOVES going to doggy day care! He drags me to the front door & doesn’t look back as soon as he sees the welcoming and caring team & all of his mates. Harry goes 2 days a week & I am thrilled with the exercise and love he gets! Thankyou

Very Disappointing Experience at Kip Doggy Daycare Kew I’ve been using Kip Doggy Daycare for a few months since we have moved to this area, only on the days my partner and I both need to be in the office. Typically, I drop off my dog around 8 a.m. and pick him up between 5:30 and 6 p.m. However, over time, the staff has repeatedly complained about my dog barking after 2-3 p.m., urging me to only use their services for short days. Today, I was met with a very rude interaction. One staff member told me that my “late” pick-ups were not working for them and that I could only use their services if I agreed to pick up my dog earlier. I explained that this wasn't possible, as the entire reason we chose their daycare was for the convenience of extended hours, given our full workday. To my surprise, I was told that “even though we provide care for dogs, it’s not for the pet owners to drop them off and leave them for as long as they want.” This was extremely insulting, especially considering their advertised hours are from 7 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. I've used other daycares in the past and never encountered this kind of attitude or received complaints like this. The staff here lacked both empathy and understanding, and the delivery of their message was completely rude. I will be looking for other daycare options moving forward.

My Border Collie Buddy absolutely loves doggy day care. The team at Kip Kew are a dream with Buddy! They are super informative, and really care about all the dogs well-being while they stay at Kip!

The team at Kip Kew are just awesome! My red heeler, Mia, is not an easy dog to handle, but the staff at Kip Kew are very supportive and patient with her. Mia enjoys going there, and after a day at Kip Kew, she comes home completely exhausted. I highly recommend Kip Kew to anyone looking for a reliable dog boarding facility.

My dog has been going there since he was a puppy. He has definitely become a better behaved dog because of day care. He has made some really great friends there, and always comes home super tired and satisfied. I am thankful everyday to the whole team at Kip Kew, they are fantastic and I trust them all to look after my dog all day. Much better than leaving him alone all day! I highly recommend Kip Kew if you are looking for some doggy daycare.

My pup Molly and I just love Kip Kew. The care that is provided to the pups is outstanding. Molly is an anxious Vizsla and she feels very at home with the carers and other pups. They do a brilliant job in matching the dogs and really getting to know your pup. My daughter and I always love the Instagram posts and the creative ways they capture the pups. I can’t recommend Kip Kew highly enough!

We absolutely love Kip Kew! Our golden Theo has been going for almost two years now and always has the best time at daycare! The staff are so friendly, loving and caring and we also love their humour on Instagram! We always look forward to seeing updates on socials, so entertaining and heart warming!

Our poodle always have the most amazing time at Kip Kew. The staff are just gorgeous and always attentive. The team pays close attention to the needs of each dog and always give good advice if there are any issues. Facility is a great safe, clean and interactive environment. Thanks again to the Kip Kew team 😄 …

Fiona has been a wonderful support taking my dog Henry for a walk everyday for the last 2 or 3 months while I recovered from an injury. Henry absolutely loves it when Fiona arrives, and he comes back a happy dog. Fiona is reliable, professional and caring and I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending her dog walking services.

Fiona was kind enough to dog-sit for us while I was overseas for a few weeks. We're sure Yuki was well looked after while I was away, and Fiona was kind enough to drive Yuki to grooming on short notice, and Yuki came home looking fabulous and happy.

Fiona is so caring and amazing, she offers great walks for my 2 furbabies!

Absolutely wonderful. Delighted with the service. I couldn't speak more highly of Fiona's Pet Services. Highly recommended.

Fantastic thankyou! Both our bunnies seemed very happy afterwards.

Fiona is a lovely pet sitter

Caring and personal
