Rose
Rose and mark were fantastic. Very professional and caring sitters. I never felt that I needed to worry about anything. They left my home in the condition as if they had never been there. I, absolutely couldn't have been more impressed and pleased.

Annie
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.

Jordan
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
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!

Everything was great even though they were here for some unfortunate circumstances (hurricane and extended power outage). Sent frequent updates and our cat seemed to like them.

Hannah
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
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
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
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!

Courtenay
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
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
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.

This was our first house/pet sit with @zeewoi and we were extremely pleased! Robert showed up when he said he would, he accommodated our timelines and our dog's scheduled routine. He left our home in excellent shape and we had a very happy, relaxed pup to come home to. It was important to us that Robert meet us via video chat or in person before we left and he went above and beyond. He sent photos of our dog, Cooper, and him throughout the sit and we could tell that Cooper was very happy with Robert. He responded immediately to our texts, giving him updates about our return. Communication is so important for making sure both the sitter and the house owners are confident in one another. Robert is very outgoing and friendly and we have 100% confidence in him to look after our home and our dog when we are away. We look forward to Robert providing another future home sit.
Mia
Anita was a wonderful dog sitter for Balto! They were super tentative, made sure to ask any and all questions before we went away, and they sent the best updates about Balto while we were gone. I felt so much better knowing my dog was in great hands, and I could not recommend Anita enough! Quality care, and our apartment was spotless when we returned home.
David
Diane and Les were excellent pet and house sitters. Jet was a very happy dog when we returned and Diane had shared many photos of their days together while we were away on holiday. The house was very clean and tidy when we returned and some milk , bread and sweet treats had been left for us, which were very welcome after our 2 long flights home. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Diane and Les as sitters for your home and pets, everything was done to a high standard and Jet was happy in his usual environment , which is all we wished for. Many thanks to you both.

Jerry gets a five star in every area! We actually connected on the phone before he ever arrived but once he got here, it was like we known each other forever! He was very thorough and how he was going to take care of the dogs and the house!! very friendly with the dogs, and they immediately connected with him!! dogs know when they are💖💖 he arrived early so he could become familiar with Circus and tinker and the house and we had a meal together and quickly became best friends! He sent pictures while we were away and updates. Every day. He was gone by the time we came back, but it honestly looked like he had never been in the house. Everything was perfect just like we left it.❗️❗️❗️ so if you’re looking for a Pet Sitter that is reliable in every way, and you know for sure is going to take good care of your pets this man is the one you want to have come to your home❗️❗️ you won’t be disappointed and I can promise you that💖🎉

Angela provided complicated medical care for my sick dog for three weeks in Mexico City with the utmost professionalism and kindness Right before Angela’s arrival, my dog was hospitalized and almost died. Angela took care of follow up vets visits, administered eight medicines a day for two weeks, and nursed tico completely back to health I could tell from the photos and videos that she was taking excellent care of him - he was too weak to walk so she made a comfy bed for him in a large bag and carried him a over the city so he could still have fun during his recovery I could not recommend Ángela more. She went so far above and beyond what a pet sitter should do, and she did it all with a caring and capable attitude
Cynthia
If you need a sitter don’t hesitate to pick Vanessa, I highly recommend her. She cared for our fur baby for two weeks and received the care and attention she needed. We came back to a very happy pup and clean home which is awesome after coming back from a long trip. I received texts and pictures of our dog while we were gone which gave us peace of mind. You could tell right from the start that she genuinely loves animals and will care for them as if they are hers. I will continue to use her as my pet sitter if she’s available. All I can say is she is a wonderful person!!
Linda
They took very good care of my pets which involved feeding cats twice daily, fish once or twice a day and filling up fountain for birds. Animals were healthy and happy when I returned. Nothing was lost or broken, and Diane even found a lost grinder part that had fallen into the cats food while I was using it. They are a pleasant couple. They were invited from Wednesday to Sunday. They arrived on Monday so had 3 days instead of one to learn the pets routine. They also informed me that they wouldn't be leaving until Monday morning, but that worked out well since I was mistaken about the end date of my cruise and couldn't get home until Monday. Everything was left neat, but I had minor housekeeping to do (clean sink, fingerprints off glass table, sweep floor). They are older than stated on the profile, which they said only allows 65 as a top age. 68 and 73. Bruce has health problems that requires he sleeps sitting up in a chair that has a leg lift, which luckily I had, so he slept in my living room. They are fine caring for cats, but my friend with a dog decided to find another sitter rather than leave him with them (she was going to pay) because they seem somewhat frail.

Joanna and David were absolutely perfect!!!! This was my first actual time using a sitter and they went above and beyond what I expected. I have a 1 year old Bully Breed that I adopted 6 weeks ago, so if you know dogs you know what they had to deal with :)) They sent pics daily and kept me updated. We were not able to meet before I left but they were nice enough to stay to meet me when I returned. My house was cleaner than when I left, all bedding and towels washed. Charley, my dog, was happy to see me for a minute when I got home but immediately went back to play with David, so I am thinking she had a blast while I was gone. I am totally sold with this process after having Joanna and David here. If you have the chance to book them for your trip, you will not be sorry. I am hoping to use them again when they return to Florida.
Rebecca
Romina and Ignas took amazing care of our two dogs and home while we were away! One of our dogs, Beau, is extremely high energy and it takes a special person so make sure he gets enough mental and physical stimulation each day. Romina kept us in the loop of his trips to parks and outdoor excursions. She was very thoughtful and responsive during our time away. Additionally, our home was in pristine shape when we returned from our trip. The rooms were clean and tidy and Romina left us such a thoughtful note. Romina and Ignas are top notch sitters and I'd highly recommend them to anyone with pets! Thank you so much, Romina and Ignas. Our dogs were so well cared for and loved.

I cannot thank Jenny and Geoff enough for stepping in at the last minute after the original sitter cancelled. They are a great couple, friendly , organised and extremely capable. Also they LOVE animals. My dog and cat have clearly been given a great deal of care and attention in my absence. Jenny kept in touch with notes and lovely photos, Geoff cut my grass and I came home to a spotlessly sparkling house ! Thank you so much! Jenny and Geoff are welcome back anytime and I would not hesitate to recommend them as excellent sitters.

Matt and the team at Rovers Retreat are our go too kennel. Our dogs love it there and return happy and healthy. We have used them a good many times over two years and their service is consistent. We trust them with our fur-babies.
My baby loves this place. MATT keeps the dogs as his own and lookafter them very well. Thus gives us peace of mind while travelling. Highly recommend.
Excellent - lots of social playtime on grass under shady trees. Love their little houses! Our two dogs were relaxed and happy when we collected them. Secure, friendly and caring. Highly recommended
Loving owner of Rovers, treat your pups like a loving part of their family. Professional, and if any issue will contact you right away.
Our pup loves all the exercise and playtime he gets. Matt and the team take great care of him.
What an excellent place! Our dog was so well looked after and came back happy and healthy. Matt did a fantastic job with her and we're so glad we have found somewhere for her to go where we don't have to worry about her while we're away.
Very friendly. Great place to take your dogs. Pick up service was fantastic. We also drove out to pick up our dogs at the end and its a lovely.drive a beautiful location.
Great communication, very handy pick up and drop off service and best of all a happy pup! Thanks Rovers Retreat.
Great kennel with a great price and good owners. I recommend using their collection service as the roads out there aren't the best
Love Rovers! It's the only kennel our boy comes home happy from 🥰 …

Joanne was wonderful! Chloe had such a great time! As always Don’t Fret Pet saved me during the Christmas holidays when it is so hard to find a dog sitter!! Such a fabulous service. Never disappointed. Thank you!
Process was easy. Jennifer had a natural affinity with our dog. We had no hesitation leaving her and enjoying break away.
After a few bad experiences using pet sitter apps we were delighted with the service provided by Don’t Fret Pet for our 2 energetic dogs. From start to finish we felt that we were in good hands, and our minders were wonderful with our dogs. They have both come home from their ‘holiday’ happy & relaxed and we will definitely be using Don’t Fret Pet again in future!
Margaret and Jenny were very responsive in matching our dogs Lily and Alvie to a perfect minder in Canberra. Trudy took great care of our dogs. They loved Trudy the minute they met her and were happy and ‘right at home’ when we picked them up. We highly recommend Don’t Fret Pet and Trudy.
Our gorgeous girl Izzy , a now 2 year old bordoodle , stayed with Stephen and Erica. This stay for 2 weeks is the longest she has ever been away from us Her care was amazing , they sent updates and we felt they loved her as much as we do . Highly recommend this service and these carers
The team were great, found a sitter that was perfect and kept in contact while finding the right sitter for our dog. And the carers they had were amazing. Couldn't fault any part of the process.
The interaction with both Jenny and Margaret was friendly and the Web site was very easy. I found the carers, Gerry and John, to be wonderful and very caring people. They sent lots of photos showing my dogs had settled in really well, including making themselves at home. I highly recommend DFP and Gerry and John.
What a wonderful experience for our 10 year old, 3-legged labradoodle and for us as well! Having such experienced and generous sitters meant my husband and I could get away for a long weekend without any worries whatsoever. We will certainly reach out to "Don't Fret Pet!" again soon. Very well worth it and highly recommended
Highly recommend Don’t Fret Pet. The response from Jenny was prompt. She rang me a number of times to ensure the matching was most appropriate for my 9 month boy. She called me in New Year’s Eve and emailed on New Year’s Day when she was on holiday. Emily-Jane and Jeremy were so patient with Auggie. He is going to stay with them again in two weeks’ time.
Our minder Trudy looked after Bowie and Sophie very well. They didn’t seem stressed at all by the experience and I appreciate having somewhere for them to go that is so welcoming and safe. I highly recommend Don’t Fret Pet.

Our dog Paddy Ryder can be timid around new people, but the staff made him feel very comfortable right from the start. They were happy to be accommodating & even gave us tested alternative routes to get to their place during flooding. They clearly are 'dog people' who are interested in making your dog's stay as pleasant as possible.
Adrian and Leonie looked after our cattle dog Bella for 15 days while we went to Lord Howe island.. we felt VERY happy leaving our fur baby (all 31 klgs of her) with them.. she had s great time. Very professional kennels David and Ailsa Bennett
Had our dog in for training while on holiday and was the best thing we ever did! He has come back a lot calmer and a more sociable dog. He was an excitable dog that pulled on the lead a lot and became a bit of a pest when he met other dogs. After his training his behaviour improvement was unbelievable! He no longer barks at every dog that goes by the window and walks very good on the lead and is more settled. Would definately recommend this place!
Absolutely fantastic place to board my poochie well priced and the owners are friendly and accommodating.
Excellent presentation. My dog was Very well looked after. Very impressed by the care given to my dog
Very helpful at sort notice . Thanks for everything guys

John was kind enough to take some lengthy time to chat to me about my adopted Amstaff, important information about the breed, and importance of consistent training. He explained things a lot simpler once learning I'm neurodivergent. He kindly had a good old chat with me which I appreciated and enjoyed a lot. He even has some good advice for general life. He truly loves his animals and knows what kind of people he is dealing with. I look forward to shopping here more often 🙂
Went in after passing by for over 10 years and was super impressed with the store for a small independent business. The gentleman who owns and runs the store is lovely to chat too and let me hold one of his macaws. They have a variety of birds from budgies, lovebirds, zebra finches, cockatiels, eclectus and macaws. Also has Guinea pigs, rabbits and fish from cichlids to guppies. A lovely store to drop into with cheap prices and a good variety for what the store is.
Good nice place lots of birds and fish...
Great little local store. Everything you need for birds, fish, lizards and furry critters. Very friendly, helpful and willing to have a conversation and give advice. They have fish such as Cichlids, guppies, suckers, Molly's and angelfish. They have guinea pigs, rabbits and birds out the back including quail, budgies, macaws, peach faces, cockatiels and more. Recommended for pet care needs and buying a new pet. Quality, wide range, decent prices and informative, friendly service. We'll be back!
John's the best and great with all of his animals. He provides nothing but great customer service and support. His also very knowledgeable with animals, and sells everything your looking for. Please Go here and support all small businesses
We go here for the avery and birds because we can get more bulk items at a cheaper price than Canberra which is always over priced. Service always friendly.
Excellent local shop both for supplies and services. Grooming has certainly been good in the past, and pricing is fair for better quality products than the bigger shops. Thanks.
He is always helpful and loves his animals. Great place for all your pets needs.
Great pet store, was given a discount on a warm hearted conversation with the owner, absolute gem. Will continue to come back each time.i need anything let related.
John is helpful and informative. The store is clean and tidy and all the animals are healthy and well fed.

I cannot express enough how happy I am with the phenomenal service and level of care provided by the owners and staff here at Pawtails. They provided me detailed updates when I called to see how my blue am staff was settling in. And the fact I could check there Facebook page for photo updates just brought an extra level of comfort knowing he was enjoying himself! When I picked him up at the end of his long stay they had bathed him and washed all the extra blankets I brought in and provided me with a detailed report card 💕! I cannot fault anything with Pawtails and I would recommend them to anyone and everyone phenomenal service 100/100!! 👍🏼👏🏻
Our labrador, Sasha just returned home after spending almost 5 weeks at Pawtails. She is very content, with no sign of stress. We’ve been taking Sasha to Pawtails for years & Sian, Damian & the Team always take such good care of her. Now she is older & has some special medical needs, the Pawtails team catered to these as well. We enjoyed the regular photo updates throughout our holiday & end of stay report card. 😊 Attaching s photo of Sasha enjoying her farm walk. Highly recommended. Book well in advance as they are very popular!
We have been using Pawtails since 2021. They have minded our last and current dog on average twice a year and this year it will be four times. They have always come back happy, beautifully washed and manicured. My family love seeing the daily pics on their website during their stay and we love the report provided by Sian on their return home. An amazing service and enjoyable getaway for our most precious fur child.
Sian and her team at Pawtails are fantastic and genuinely care for your fur kids. The facilities are top quality and the outdoor runs are spacious and large. Our Kelpies Jackson and Mitchell recently stayed there and we would highly recommend trusting Sian and her team at Pawtails to look after your pets while you're away.
I have been using Pawtails for years and all my dogs have absolutely loved their time there. They are so excited when they see Sian at the front door to pick them up and can't wait to jump in her van for their holiday. I know Sian and her team look after the dogs so well and give them lots of love and attention. It's such a relief knowing I don't have to worry about my dogs when I go on holidays.
I am always so confident leaving our dogs with the Pawtails Team. They welcome our dogs always and the care is totally next level !!!! The Pawtails Team are just simply the best. They cater for every special need and make us paw parents feel very happy to leave them in such professional hands.
Terrible service from the receptionist where I left my cats. It did not meet my expectations. What's more, the rude treatment she gave me will take legal action. I have everything recorded from the first day she denied me where my cats were going to stay... this is not useful for leaving your cats, it is only for dogs.
Absolutely fabulous! First time we had ever put our 2 munchkins into boarding due to going away for 2 weeks, so wanted to be sure of choosing the right place for them. Couldn’t be happier. The team at Pawtails were all very professional and really love being there and caring for our furry family. We checked what our two were doing daily via the Facebook posts, and this made us feel more ‘connected’ while we were away. They both came home happy & smelling lovely and looking shiny after their complimentary baths. We definitely recommend Pawtails and we will bring our munchkins back again to stay when we go away as it gives us total piece of mind knowing they are very well cared for. Thank you again to the entire Pawtails team!
This is one review that I struggled to word due to been extremely happy with the service provided by Paw tails retreat. My partner and I have a beautiful , super energetic border collie named Mocha who is 1 year and 3 months old. We were both extremely worried about leaving him at a kennel and traveling half way across the world. However paw tails retreat was referred to me through a trusted colleague so we decided to give it ago. I honestly could not be happier with Sian and her team. They took care of our dog super super well. We received updates daily so we knew Mocha was happy and doing well which helped me and my partner to enjoy our break. Mocha came back extremely happy and smelling absolutely divine after his shower at the end of his stay. He loved his stay so much so, when the gentleman from paw tails said good bye to him he ran after him to go back to Paw tails :P. Please give this place ago to all those dog/ cat lovers. Your fur children will be looked after really well :D.
Wonderful. Our dog has been going to Pawtails for years. He is happy to go (not so with other kennels), is treated well. Sian is very considerate. Great facilities and he is walked daily. We have a 3 hour round trip to drop him there but I wouldn't leave him anywhere else.
