Dog Sitters in Warrandyte

Thank you so much Dogdayz for taking good care of Fuji! This was our first time being away from Fuji for an extended period of time (2 weeks) and he was thoroughly looked after. We were so anxious of leaving him but as soon as I saw photos of him posted on FB, I knew he was happy. It also helped that the staff are proactive with replying to emails and will gladly answer any questions and provide updates as requested. We appreciate the health and behaviour check out notes that outlined how he was day by day - it feels like we were still there with him. It’s nice knowing the dogs that he has befriended! Definitely recommend Dogdayz to everyone and will use them again for our next overseas travel! Thank you again so much! Fuji has been sleeping since getting picked up, proof that he had a blast playing with his friends!

My partner and I have been using Dogdayz Toolernvale for our 3.5 year old Staffy Bull Terrier Cross, Zuko, for about three years now. We travel at least once a year outside Australia, and often times more than that, added to which we have other occasions where we need to board Zuko for weekends away, or other social events where we cannot leave him at home alone. We have found the staff at Toolernvale to be friendly, cooperative, engaging, and always willing to chat and discuss any issues or concerns we might have. Zuko just LOVES staying at Dogdayz. On the days that we need to take him there… the moment we reach the Holden Road corner, Zuko immediately realises where he is being taken and starts getting VERY excited in the car about his upcoming stay, and being able to play with all his "friends" there. Once out of the car he just HAS to get to Reception as quickly as possible, and he can get a little annoyed if there is another dog owner ahead of us having their dog checked in first. The other nice service provided by Dogdayz is that at least weekly (it seems that sometimes it is twice a week…) a complete latest batch of photos of all dogs currently staying there are posted on the Dogdayz Facebook page, where we are able to see the latest photos of Zuko thoroughly enjoying his holiday stay. When we are travelling overseas, it is always very heartening to see very recent photos and to know that he is having a thoroughly good time without us. Of course, when we do return to pick him up at the end of a stay, whether it is just a day or two, or a long 3-4 week stay, Zuko is obviously happy that we have returned and for him to see us again. But always, for a couple of days after coming home, he seems a little saddened because he obviously misses his time there and the friends he has made while there… but he very soon revovers from that. I thoroughly recommend Dogdayz Toolernvale as a very dogfriendly environment for a short, OR a long-term, stay. We have never had any reason to be concerned, let alone be at all dissatisfied, about using their kennel boarding services. Nothing but professionhalism at all times has been our experience.

Really friendly, helpful staff. It’s a bit hard to ask your dog if she had a good time, but ours seemed very happy and healthy after a 4 day stay. We’ve used Dogdayz twice now and will be back. Love the daily photo streams on Facebook.

Walter is a happy dog and his behaviour on coming home confirmed that he was well looked after. Staff obviously love the animals and they take great interest and record a daily health report and how the dog has fitted in. The running of the place is caring and professional. It’s Walter’s home away from home. Thank you Warrandyte Team

The Warrandyte team are wonderful and take such great care of my dog whenever she stays there. You can tell they are real and caring dog lovers and genuinely see and interact with the dogs as individuals. Luna is normally very anxious and they take great care to ensure she feels happy and confident. And she has so much fun when she is there - She always runs to the gate without even a backward glance!

My Mini Schnauzer, Freddy, absolutely loves going on holidays at Toolern Vale. He is excited even before we get out of the car and can't wait to run in and see all his human and canine friends. The staff are incredibly friendly and take really good care of their guests. I wouldn't take Freddy anywhere else for his holidays. 😀 …

Our three-year-old Labrador loves staying at Dogdayz Warrandyte. He has stayed there about four times over the past year or so. He can't wait to get through the gate on dropoff. He loves running and playing with the other dogs in the large open spaces near the river. The staff are very friendly and take great care of him. The daily reports on his health and behaviour at the end of each stay are informative. Regular posts on Facebook show us what a great time he is having, which creates great peace of mind. Highly recommended, particularly for dogs that love running and playing with others.

Milo had so much fun during his 2 weeks at Dogdayz that he almost seemed conflicted about coming home with us!! We were nervous as this was his first time staying away for such a long time but I feel confident that he was very well looked after. Staff are caring and very keen to offer cuddles. The daily health check and feedback (provided at the end of the stay) was great to see. We will definitely be using Dogdayz again.

We love knowing our two dogs are being well cared for at Dogdayz Toolernvale. Always recommending it whenever we are asked. Our Frenchie is apprehensive to go but loves his stay, absolutely loves playing with the other dogs and having fun with the staff. Our American Bulldog can’t wait to get there, is always super excited on the drive and keen to go through the gate every single time. He always loves the pats and getting to see his brother throughout their stays. Our dogs have been there for a many short stays but also a big 5 week stay and the best part is always being confident with them being there, if we are wanting updates all we need to do is send an email or call but also love seeing the photos!

The best care was taken of our pup Ziggy whilst we were overseas for 3 weeks. You can tell the animal attendants, and everyone you cross paths with cares for the animals, and I think Ziggy was sad to leave. Would 100% recommend Dog Dayz Warrandyte and we will be back in the future. Thank you guys for all you do!

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 well organised, Doug is always polite and happy for a chat during drop off and pick up + knowledgeable. Our Labrador is always happy to stay at Allendale.

Our two dogs have enjoyed staying at Allendale Kennels for a few years now, and it’s always ‘peace of mind’ for us knowing they are in good hands. On a recent holiday abroad, things didn’t go to plan and we found ourselves stuck in a country with flights cancelled and a state of emergency. Doug was more than accommodating for our two dogs and assured us they could stay till we knew when we could get back home safely. It took the extra worry off our shoulders and we can’t praise Doug and the team enough for the additional care they provided both to our dogs and to us. We are so grateful and thank you again, Doug. We came home to happy healthy dogs who looked like they’d been treated like royalty, bathed, and playing around in a big play space. Don’t know what we would do without Allendale Kennels, we wouldn’t choose another place, ever.

We have left our dogs in the care of Allendale many times over the past 20 years. Doug has always been very kind with our dogs. Doug was especially good with one of our old dogs Angus, who normally didn’t like anyone other than us. Calla recently stayed there and was very well looked after. If anyone needs the services of a good kennel or cattery we would gladly recommend Allendale

Doug is so lovely to work with and our large dog is always happy to stay at Allendale. We've been coming back to the kennel for years now, and will continue to do so!

We’ve been using Allendale Boarding Kennels for over a decade now. Our dog gets super excited when we turn in the driveway, and when Doug comes out to greet us again. They always look after her well and shes a happy little thing when we pick her up. Would recommend.

Doug rose early to welcome Lochie and enable us to take an early flight (thanks mate). We have complete trust in the Allendale team to care for, properly feed, exercise and when time allows play chatch me if you can now Lochie is comfortable and accepting of the professional, friendly and welcoming Allendale team.

We have been taking our babies to Allendale Boarding Kennels & Cattery for many, many years and will not go anywhere else. If we couldn’t book them in with Allendale, we wouldn’t go away. Doug and Gail are animal whisperers, they connect to our five special needs babies instantly and know exactly how to care for them and love them like we do at home. They have even looked after Albert our budgie. The kennels are spotlessly clean, warm in winter, cool in summer and always cosy and safe. Their rates exceptional, actually inexpensive for the extra special attention they give. They are masters at giving medications without any stress to the animal, and never charge any extra. Our babies have daily exercise along with lots of caring hugs and cuddles. If needed, Doug will go to your own vet, not just any vet to suit him and did do that once for our 17 YO dachshund, thankfully Doug did so, as we had our baby for another 18months due to his care. Doug and Gail check in on the animals after hours and during the night and have even stayed with them at night to keep them company during a storm or if they just feel they need some extra love and care. Allendale is a loving, friendly home away from home for our furry family. Book in early so you don’t miss out.

A great boarding kennel and cattery. We have left our Poochon there several times, once for a month, and have been very happy with the care and attention our dog has been given. About to leave her again. She has exhibited no ill effects from her time at Allendale. Highly recommended.

Once again and for a long term my dogs went on a holiday to Allendale Kennels. They came home healthy and happy and clean. They were due for a hair trim and their hair was clean and no knots. One has a weak hind leg and he was in fine form with medication given by the owner and the other ones ears clean with the owner having used the drops that I privided, without any fuss or extra cost. These kennels are easily accessible and honest not like some that show they are like a resort when they are not. Very good prices too.

We have been using Allendale Kennels for the last 3 years and have consistently found Doug ans his team to be absolutely excellent in caring for our two furry boys. We have recently returned from an overseas trip which necessitated us leaving the boys at Allendale for a massive 6 week period. Our one dog has over the last year become a really high-needs boy who requires 3 sets of medication morning and evening, and who does not respond at all well to stress and change. We dropped him off with a fair amount of trepidation as to how he would cope this time...but we arrived home to find him in good health and incredibly good spirits. Doug and his team must have given him an enormous amount of attention and TLC to achieve such a great outcome!! Further testament to the care Allendale provides is the way they took our 2nd dog through to our vet when he started to look a bit off-colour during his stay. Wow! That is really going the extra mile! We are extraordinarily grateful to Allendale and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing to board their precious pets 😊

Angela is excellent. She has a vocation in caring for pets and is also very knowledgeable and experienced. Couldn’t recommend her highly enough.

She did very to well Jasmine, Very professional definitely will come back ❤️❤️❤️

I have been going to Angela for over 4 years and she is excellent, Noodle loves going there, he has stayed for short periods or extended times and she is a great groomer too. Thanks Angela and its a lovely touch she sends photos of Noodle whilst I am away :)

My dog had a freak matting incident and we thought we would have to shave her but the groomer got all the knots and dreads out!! She was so so kind and she showed so much care towards our fur baby! Not to mention the detailed report on the health checks she had done! Flawless service!

Best grooming ever. I will be going there again next time. I will introduce this to my family and friends. My puppy looks so cute. Thanks Angela

Hi Angela Thanks for a excellent groom you did for Rusty. Very impressed with the service and price so I'll be back for sure. Lou

She treats dogs as her own and wellcome them to her house. I am really happy with my dog's condition.

Great grooming and dog service. Kayleigh really enjoyed her time!

Good, Heather listened to what I required for Koby

Velvet loved going there, had such fun

I signed Bob up for Kip's "Board & Train" program as I was going away, and wanted Bob to learn basic dog manners (not pulling towards other dogs/not pulling on the leash during walks). The staff at Kip are respectable, patient, and truly give all the love and attention your pooch deserves. Kip Homestead is located on a massive space, so there are plenty opportunities for your dog to learn new tricks and run around with some new friends (dogs are protected from each other by a fence). Olivia was assigned as Bob's trainer; she is incredible and our dog Bob absolutely loves her. I've seen her with other dogs too from the other videos on Kip, and it's the same with them. She's knowledgeable, confident, and just knows how to work with dogs (and people). I appreciated all the regular updates about Bob and his progress! And I also want to thank Olivia for the thorough handover at the end of the program to ensure that I'm able to continue the same level of training at home. Highly recommend the Board & Train program to anyone who wants help to improve their dog's overall behaviour/want somewhere safe to board their dog while going away. I've already recommended this place to all of my friends with dogs and I'm excited to see their pooch's progress. I'll be sending Bob here next time I go away (and I'm sure he'll be excited to be back at Kip Homestead)!

We’ve seen huge improvements in Dirks reactivity and general manners since we picked him up from his board and train program. His trainer Catherine provided lots of updates over the three weeks to keep us at ease and provided comprehensive guidance at the handover session so that we can continue his training at home. We will definitely bring Dirk back in for more top up sessions in future.

“Exceptional Training Experience with Kip Stay Homestead!” I can’t recommend Kip Stay Homestead enough! Our black lab, Charlie, recently completed their 21-day training program, and the results are beyond amazing. Olivia worked wonders with him—Charlie is now so much calmer and significantly less reactive to his environment. One of the most noticeable improvements is his loose leash walking—it’s like night and day. Seeing this new version of Charlie has made every penny spent on the program absolutely worth it. We know the work doesn’t stop here, but Olivia gave us an extensive and thorough handover, ensuring both my boyfriend and I feel confident in maintaining Charlie’s progress at home. Kip Stay Homestead has truly transformed our life with Charlie. If you’re considering training for your dog, this is the place to go! Thank you, Olivia, for giving us the tools to help Charlie thrive!

Our handsome Smooth Collie, Hugo, spent 3 weeks with David, the master of working dogs. From the moment we met David, he was confident and straightforward about what might be going on in our pup’s tiny head, based on his working breed heritage. We were immediately relieved, knowing that Hugo would be in good hands during our trip. While Hugo already has good manners and a gentle soul, he had been showing some unwanted reactivity towards strange/unfamiliar things/people. David and the team at Kip listened to our concerns, worked with Hugo, and cleared up some misunderstandings we had about his alert barking. Hugo is now handling new situations much better, because we, as owners, understand what he needs in order to manage his vigilant nature. The handover 1:1 session was very helpful, as was the online course, which I can revisit at any time. David also sent some additional information afterward, which showed the care and attention Hugo received during his stay. While the training wasn’t 100% force-free so that I can’t say it’s concurrent as in trend, we genuinely appreciated the efforts and care Hugo received during his time there. From the pupdates we received irregularly, we could tell Hugo was comfortable, with his tail wagging happily to the right. Overall Hugo will be going back to Kip Homestead whenever we can't take him with us.

We left our 2yo dog reactive Goldie with Cathrine for 3 weeks in the board and train program. We went in not expecting miracles, but to help move along in handling our girl day to day, understanding how to approach situations out of our control and getting her better on leash. It’s honestly night and day to when we dropped her off. Cathrine was very real with us, which we appreciated, that our girl just isn’t a dog’s dog. And likely never will be, but that’s ok. She has helped her walk on leash so much better to the point where, now a few weeks after picking her up, we can now go for 20 - 30 minute street walks without anxiety of what to do if another dog passes by. She even has got to the point of sniffing another dog for a few seconds and not showing aggression / fear. We know that she won’t ever be a dog who can be off leash and play with other dogs, but we have been blown away by the progress she made and tips in our toolkit to continue these good behaviours. Our regret is not finding Kip earlier in her life and leaving her with you guys. We loved the update videos and they provided us lots of laughs and happiness while away from her for a few weeks. We will definitely bring her for another stay at board and train when we are away next!!

My 6 year old GSD had her first stay over the weekend, and we couldn't be happier! She has had a few issues in the past with fear aggression and they addressed her care very diligently, the updates we received daily were very reassuring and when we picked her up today she was so happy and looked beautiful! She had no issues, and we are so impressed with Kip and can't wait for our puppy to have her next stay 😊 it's a bit on the pricier side, but well worth it!

Our dog Coco recently stayed here for 3 weeks while we were away and we honestly couldn’t be happier. From the very first moment, it’s obvious how much the team at Kip genuinely love and care about the dogs. We looked forward to the daily updates and photos to let us know how she was going which made it so much easier to be away (especially for our kids!). We booked daily bushwalks and a couple of training sessions for her stay and she was freshly bathed when we picked her up. Our only concern was that she wouldn’t want to come home ☺️ thank you so much to the team for taking such good care of our girl.

I recently enrolled my Pomeranian puppy, Little Foot, in the board and train program at Kip, and the experience exceeded all my expectations. David, our trainer, was absolutely incredible. His expertise, patience, and genuine love for animals were evident from the start. He took the time to understand Little Foot's unique personality and tailored the training to suit his needs. Throughout the program, David provided regular updates and insights, ensuring I felt confident and informed about Little Foot's progress. Little Foot has returned full of joy and is now more obedient, calm, and confident. The techniques David used were not only effective but also gentle and compassionate, which was very important to us. He taught Little Foot essential commands and addressed specific behavioral issues, making our day to day life much smoother and more enjoyable in the long run. I am beyond grateful for David's dedication and the comprehensive care Little Foot received at Kip.I wholeheartedly recommend the board and train program to anyone looking to improve their pet's behaviour and to overall give their furry babies a good little holiday. Thank you, David and the Kip team, for the amazing work you do! Little Foot cannot wait to hang out with his new best friend David again when we enrol him in the future. Thank you Tara

Our Violet spent 3 weeks at Kip with Olivia and we were absolutely blown away with how far she came in 3 weeks. The regular updates of Vi became a bit of a weekly highlight for us to see her smiling and clearly having a great time. Olivia was honestly brilliant, we couldn't have asked for anything more, our pup has come back far less anxious, far more engaged and the handover session has made us feel like we can continue on the great work that Olivia started. We could not recommend both Kip and Olivia any higher!!

Cannot thank David and the team at Kip enough. Eldin recently came in for the Board and train program as he was reactive with other dogs and became hard for me to control when his emotional state was so high. The difference from drop off to pick up was absolutely amazing. I also now have the confidence to continue the training with the abundance of information I have to refer to. The staff are all lovely and the grounds are spectacular. Highly recommended. And as you can see, the smile on Eldins face says it all.

Our Boxer loves the staff at Waggy Tails and all her play mates! The staff are caring and look after the dogs with so much love and passion no matter what bread or temperament they are. Can definitely recommend!

I have nothing but praise for Waggy Tails Doggy Day Care. The people that work there are lovely, my dog enjoys greeting the staff as much as she enjoys playing with the other dogs. Care is taken to ensure dogs are safe at all times. Every week my dog becomes excited when she realizes it’s day care day, and after all the fun, she comes home exhausted. Highly recommend.

This is my dog's happiest place on earth! He loves it at Waggy so much and has the best fun. The staff are incredible, I know this because my dog loves them and I love them. We have been taking Thomas to Waggy for close to 3 years now and this is where he learnt how to play and socialise with all types of dogs. He is a rescued greyhound and had a difficult first 4.5 years in the racing industry. His anxiety disappears when he is at Waggy. Thank you Waggy crew, we would be lost without you!

My two dogs get so excited when they know they are going to Waggy Tails Doggy day care. The team are fantastic and caring, continuing to train the dogs and always willing to accomodate my shift work. I feel comfortable and happy leaving my dogs in the care of the team. Its great socialisation, especially for my frenchie as he can be a bit of a naughty boy. I'd highly recommend Karen and the team if you need some day care for your dog.

Waggy Tails days are my boy's favourite days! The staff are always so welcoming, friendly, and loving towards him and I can see the genuine care they have for all the dogs. We're kept in the loop with what the dogs are up to via videos and photos, as well as getting some extra stories at pickup when there is anything to report. Special shoutout to Monica who goes above and beyond to help and has been an absolute legend, as well as Liam and Roc. Nigel loves you!

We started sending our pup Murphy! We can tell he loves every minute at Waggy Tails. They have also been super accomodating getting us last minute bookings due to renovations at home.

Murphy just LOVES doggy day care . He thinks it's the best day ever! He's full of excitement when he knows he is on his way. Murphy is a little spoiled and I just can't help that . When dropping him off I feel at peace knowing I am leaving him in the hands of all the friendly and trustworthy staff at Waggy Tails. They offer great services too. Grooming is my fave. It's hard work maintaining a little fur baby so this definitely makes my life so much easier.. We can't forget the social media side of things as well. It's awesome. I can check that my little boy is having the time of his life and if that makes him happy that makes me happy too. I can't thank the staff enough for the love and care they provide Murphy.

I have been taking my furchild here for around about 5 months now and can honestly say best decision i have ever made. Athena (my dog) is always super excited to go as soon as we hop out of the car she realizes where we are and drags me to the front door, she has gone to 3 other doggie day care facilities previously and i have never had this reaction, she used to never want to go inside at the previous places i have taken her. At Waggy tails they ensure your dog is always safe, happy and tired when you come to take them home ( a much needed night off from walks and hours of fetch for me). They walk your dog, give them yummy treats and help them break out of there shell, not to mention the socialization they have with all the other dogs. Whether its a cold winter day or hot summer afternoon the facility caters for all year round. Highly recommend Waggy Tails to all. Massive Thank you to Karen and the Girls for taking care of Athena! Attached is a photo of Athena ( far left) smiling on one of her Waggy Tails walks.

We’ve been taking our golden retriever here for years and he loves it. We are really grateful for the time and attention the staff gave him to settle in at the start. He was experiencing some separation anxiety after moving house and the passing of our other dog. The team at Waggy Tails were excellent and helped him form bonds with his new pack. He was not too sure at first but now he absolutely loves it.

So thankful for the care provided to Max by the Waggy Tails team. When the door opens in the morning they always know who he is. It makes it very easy to drop him off knowing he is safe and so well looked after (the exhaustion afterward is a bonus).

Our three cats boarded here. They came home in fantastic condition, with beautiful coats, very healthy, calm and happy. Highly recommend and will definitely use their services again.

we've had our Aussie bulldog board with Spparow in the treetop few times. The longest being over one (1) month - we can't fault them. The staff is amazing. They offer a pick up and drop off service and our dog gets looked after very very well. Highly recommend.

We’ve been to Sparrows a number of times for our Curly Coated Retriever. Every time our dog comes back happy and well fed. Importantly the staff are really engaged and fantastic deal with - I could not recommend more.

Staff were very friendly & caring. Dogs normally are quiet on car rides but they were so chatty on the way home.. as if they had to tell me all what they did in the first 5 minutes.. Both were so excited..they settled back to home so quickly..

15 year old Rusty spent 12 days at Sparrows only his second time away from home. Rusty is my first pet Dog and I was very worried at leaving him. Well all that worry was unnecessary as Rusty has had the Best care and was happy to see me and was in good shape when I collected him. Thank you to the wonderful staff for looking after my Rusty so well it is much appreciated. I would highly recommend this kennel and will definitely be requiring their services in the future. Kind Regards Uma.

Our 4 year old Jack Russell, Buddy, has stayed at Sparrows many times - sometimes for a week and a few times for a month or more. He is always happy to see Gary & Leticia when they collect him and comes home every time fit, clean and so happy. I truly believe that when Buddy goes to Sparrows he believes that he is the one going on holiday! Thanks to the team for always looking after him so well. Highly recommend.

We took our schnoodle, Reggie, on 16 April and had him delivered back to us on 6 May. We were delayed on our return flight home, but the delivery driver Cate kindly delayed her arrival to allow us to make alternative plans and have someone else collect Reggie. He was in happy spirits and looked really well when we got to him - clearly he'd been well looked after at Sparrows. We totally recommend them!

Our dog had his second stay at Sparrows over the new year break. When Letitia arrived to collect him, he greeted her with excitement and didn’t look back. He needed special attention during this stay, which the team were most happy to accommodate. I’d recommend Sparrows to anyone looking for dog boarding near Melbourne. Thank you Gary and team for all that you do 🐾

Mav our German Shepherd has had multiple stays with Sparrows in the Treetop. Friendly staff who all go out of their way to make sure all families and animals are cared for. Mav is always so excited for his special holidays there and always returns smelling amazing!!

terrible. didnt give the medicine we gave them to give our pup, didnt allow us to see where the animals were staying (you could tell they were bad), and the pup was distant and sad after coming back

My goldie always has the best time at The Pooch Pad - it really feels like a home away from home for him!

Marina Butler has been caring for my Jack Russell x (Bronson) for a period approaching five years. Bronson and I met Marina quite by accident (while taking a walk at the local park), but we prefer to see it as a 'meant to be' moment. Marina was walking some of her clients' pooches and I immediately noticed her great affinity for and love of all things canine. I had been thinking of engaging the services of a pet sitter, so I decided to give Marina a go. Bronson at the time was newly-adopted from a shelter: a little overwhelmed by it all, and in particular unsure if he could trust other dogs. With plenty of TLC at home and Marina's regular involvement, Bronson has blossomed into a confident and contented little dog who now loves to make new friends both human and canine. I genuinely believe that Marina deserves much of the credit for this, not to mention the peace of mind which comes from knowing my dog is in good hands when she is caring for him (she always sends me a photo of Bronson when she is caring for him, which I love). Marina is one hundred percent trustworthy and reliable. In addition, she is the first person I turn to when I have queries about doggie related stuff. If Marina doesn't know, she is always able to refer me in the right direction as she is very well-connected within canine circles. In short, Marina is the real deal, and Bronson considers her to be one of his very best friends!

Marina has been looking after our pets for a few years now. I cannot explain how happy, grateful and thankful for all her hard work and love for our fur babies. She goes above and beyond and loves them like her own, even when some of our pets have been somewhat challenging over the years...thank you marina we love you....past and present fur babies...

We love having Marina care for our gorgeous Nika. She has looked after her consistently for all our bookings over the past years so we feel confident that Nika is in good hands. Marina obviously loves cats and is so good with Nika that she remains relaxed and responds to her like she is family too. Marina is always lovely to us as well.

Lonely Pets Club is the best. When I am away I know my cats will be safe and happy. Marina is amazing, she even rounded up my chooks once when they escaped. Also, having the mail bought in and the bins put out is hugely convenient. I can't speak highly enough of this service - it is reliable, efficient, trustworthy and very friendly. And, they love animals....Glenys, Donvale

Great service, never had a problem and is the best way to look after the furry ones whilst gone. Highly recommended

Sam is an absolute angel of a nanny. One of our three precious kitties happened to pass away while we were abroad and she navigated the whole situation with grace, compassion, pragmatism, and so much kindness. She is attentive, detail-oriented, and her love for and knowledge about cats left us feeling confident and secure. Our kitties adored her and she took a great deal of time, not just feeding them, grooming, and cleaning their litter daily, but giving them lots of attention and affection every time she visited. She kept us posted with pictures and updates while we were away, which was especially appreciated as we went through the very difficult circumstances of grieving one of our beloved pets from the other side of the world. She is eminently trustworthy, communicative, and values every cat she meets equally, regardless of needs or temperament. We will never use anyone but Sam and we cannot recommend her highly enough.

Amazing is an understatement! Informed me of arrival and departure from the house letting me know updates on each animal, inc chickens, lizard and cats! Everyone was well catered for and cared for ad if they were her own! Thank you again!

Thanks Sam for looking after Aspen whilst we holidayed! Knowing you were calling in everyday to care for him, giving him a cuddle, giving him his medication meant we could relax . We will definitely call on you again and highly recommend your services! Oh and thanks for collecting our mail, watering the plants and bringing the bins in! You're a gem 😉🐈

My two kitty’s are my babies and I’m EXTREMELY fussy when it comes to their care. Sam has been our vet nurse for nearly 20 years and knowing she is visiting them and loving them in their own home gives me utmost peace when I am away. I love that I get photo and message updates from Sam too. I couldn’t recommend Sam enough ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The service provided by Scardee Cats Cat Nanny is second to none. Not only do they make sure your pet is fed and watered but go above and beyond in taking the time to make sure that they receive the love and attention they you would normally give them. Will be using them to look after my little black panther every time I go away ❤️❤️

Sam, you are just amazing! Thank you so much for the extra care and reassurance you give. You will be the first person I call when its holiday booking time 💐 …

I have nothing but absolute praise for Sheryn and the team at Dogs Bed and breakfast. I have been using their services for more than 5 years and they have always been very very friendly, professional and a delight to deal with. I have been very happy with every minder that my pets have been placed with and have 2 regulars and favorites that I continue to use. Keep up the great work DB&B. Thanks a million.

Very grateful to the team at Dogs Bed & Breakfast. I needed someone to look after my dog for a couple of nights at fairly short notice. I got in touch and told them what I needed and that was it! Jasper was looked after, with much love, by Marika and Frank in their home, less than 10 minutes drive from my place. When I picked him up, he was clearly happy and comfortable in his temporary home, and I would not hesitate to recommend or use this service again.

We want to thank Paul and Tracey from Ferntree Gully for the wonderful way they looked after Ebony while we were away. She has come home very relaxed, more calm and so well behaved. We know that she now is a bit older but your magic touch has worked miracles on our beautiful 10 month Spaniel. She actually went to sleep in the car on the way home where she usually is quite nervous. I can recommend Dogs Bed and Breakfast to anyone who wants their fur baby cared for.

Thanks to the Team at Dogs B & B who made sure my two dogs were well looked after when I took a break over Easter. Bobbi and Bonni were well loved - I couldn't have asked for better service. Special thanks to Marika for looking after my fur babies. Will definitely use this service again

Thankyou to Sheryn for being so helpful in finding some very last minute care for my mothers two dogs when she was admitted to hospital. As the stay was lengthy we had two wonderful carers look after the dogs. Both of whom were rescue dogs and can get quite stressed and anxious Marika was so caring and instantly put the dogs and my Mother at ease as this was the first time they'd been cared for outside of the family home. Our other lovely carer was Wendy and she was equally caring and helpful. So my Mother has gone from never having someone look after her dogs to now wanting to plan some mini breaks away in the knowing that her dogs will be happy and pampered and spoilt !!! I can't recommend Dogs Bed & Breakfast highly enough as they are all just fantastic and we have plans to use their services time and time again.

Could not recommend Dogs Bed and Breakfast more highly! Our 'holiday' turned into an unforeseen 4-month absence, and in turn meant we needed emergency dogsitters for this extended period. Sheryn was professional and accommodating the entire time, and our dog came back relaxed and happy, even after such a long time away, thanks to some gorgeous sitters. Would not hesitate to use again and highly recommend!

Thank you Sheryn, your staff and carers. From the very first time, many years ago, that you provided care for Polly and she had to be moved, I have been able to go away knowing that she is getting the very best of care with bonus love and attention. Long may Dogs Bed and Breakfast provide us dog lovers with peace of mind when we leave our ‘children’ with its carers

Thank you to Dogs B & B and especially Patricia who took excellent care of our Kobi. He came home a happy and contented boy. Being the first time in care for our new dog I was an anxious "mother" but Patricia always answered my texts promptly and even sent a photo of happy times in the park! I'm sure Kobi will be looking forward to his next holiday with Patricia!

Don’t go with these people Or even pay a deposit We inspected after paying our deposit, declined their services and then they refused to refund Their services they offered where absolute sub-standard Don’t get sucked in As per the owners reply we ended up at Dogs Country Club & Kennel Resort amazing Even so as a business owner, I would never take money for services I don’t supply regardless if it’s Christmas or not If you guys are so great and busy it would not have been a problem to fill the booking don’t pay a deposit before inspecting or you’ll loose it that’s their terms and conditions
