Our pup is left very happy and well looked after and we are confident their staff are experienced dog lovers themselves. We will be using the HH service again in the future and highly recommend you trust them with your own doggo.

I’m so glad I found happy hounds. I needed someone who could come help me walk my dogs during the week whilst I was at work to help get them out and about. I have loved all the walkers we’ve had and they take such good care of my dogs. You get photos and a report after every walk so you know they are well looked after. I highly recommend them!!

I’m so glad I found happy hounds. I needed someone who could come help me walk my dogs once a week whilst I was at work to help get them out and about. I have loved all the walkers we’ve had and they take such good care of my dogs. You get photos and a report after every walk so you know they are well looked after. I highly recommend them!!

Super happy with the service from Happy Hounds, particularly from Abbey. She did 2 visits to my home each day and looked after my dog so I felt at ease whilst on an overseas holiday. Getting updates through the app with photos was very reassuring for me whilst I was away and on a different time zone. Would definitely recommend and use again.

We've been using Happy Hounds regularly for months now for walks and had our first experience of the overnight stays last week end. We were very relieved to have Marcus's regular walker do the overnight stays. We have a very nervous rescue cat Honey who is super wary of new people but she took to Abbey immediately. There were regular updates with awesome photos and our home was exactly how we'd left it!! For peace of mind and top class service I definitely recommend Happy Hounds!!

I would highly recommend Happy Hounds for anyone. We were nervous leaving our pups at home on their own and having Nat & Tori come in without knowing the dogs. Our dogs are big and can be quite intimidating. Well Nat & Tori have the special touch. The dogs seemed happy and excited to see them and we had no problems. The communication and updates with emails and photos was really reassuring and not too much - each photo sent the dogs were grinning from ear to ear. The app was easy to use and allowed us to put all the information needed.Thanks Nat & Tori - you guys are amazing and would recommend Happy Hounds anytime.

We were able to enjoy ourselves at our daughters Wedding and felt comfortable knowing our pup was in good safe hands while we were holidaying at the Gold Coast. I had contacted others prior and was stuffed around so much that it was a relief when I contacted Natalie and received excellent service and communication straight up. Thank you for looking after our Daisy Mae Nat 🌼🐶

10/10! They dropped in over two days to look after my border collie, taking her for walks, topping up her food and giving her lots of love. They took great care of her and the updates and photos we received were fantastic. The app is really user friendly and a great platform to book and receive updates from the Happy Hounds team. Thanks!

We booked Happy Hounds for overnight stays while we were away for 2 weeks and we can't fault our experience with Nat and the team. The team was professional, easy to communicate with at all stages of the process and the house was clean with a happy doggo on our return. The twice daily updates, often with pictures, were great!

Very impressed with Happy Hounds for overnight stays. The meet and greet service immediately put our minds at ease. The Time to Pet app a godsend. We think our rescue pup would love to adopt our sitter Mazie! He looked so happy in every pic. Our house was left so tidy and our fur babies all happy when we returned. We could tell Mazie went above and beyond as the communication was perfect for us being so far away, and we will definitely be rebooking. Thank you

First time user and it certainly did not disappoint.
The service was exceptional, the efficiency in up to date communication by the pet sitter Carissa was impressive and the attention and love that was given to our fur baby while we were away was heart warming, we cannot fault.
Everything was on point, highly recommend without any doubt!

We had a wonderful experience with using Happy Hounds over the recent long weekend. From our first contact, the communication with the team has been excellent, this continued with Lily our sitter who took excellent care of our two dogs. She had a lovely nature, excellent attention to detail and great communication sending updates and photos and no request was too difficult. It was so reassuring to know that our dogs were being looked after by a such a lovely person. Thank you again!

Tatum came and did overnight stays for the long weekend. She cared for our cat and our dog (with a history of excessive barking when we are away). She made us feel very relaxed after the meet and greet with her easy going nature and ideas to help manage the dog while we are away. Tatum provided daily updates and cute pics to keep us updated on how everything was going. Would definitely recommend Happy Hounds 🙂

I can't thank happy hounds enough. Our 2 dogs are so well looked after when we go away, I can see how happy they are in the photos our sitter sends us.
They drop by to get organised and understand your routine before you leave, and then your pets are I'm great hands.
I will be forever grateful to the team for pulling together and arranging emergency care when we got caught up in a 25 hour travel delay. Knowing our dogs were safe took the main stress out of the situation. 100% recommend

I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Happy Hounds. They did 3 overnight stays for me for my 2 dogs & 1 kitten & it was the first holiday I actually felt like I could properly relax knowing my fur babies were properly looked after by true animal lovers. I honestly think the animals were disappointed when I came home & it wasn't the pet sitter back again haha. Will 100% be using Happy Hounds again.

Cannot recommend Natalie and her team at Happy Hounds enough!! Right from the moment we booked, the service and communication was extremely professional. The team took care of our two dogs for five days whilst we were on holiday, and it was so comforting knowing they were in good hands. We received daily updates and photos, the dogs were walked, fed, and cuddled the whole time. They were genuinely cared for 💕 We got home to some very happy puppies. Thanks to Natalie and her team, we will definitely be using this exceptional service again!!!

The most amazing service you will ever encounter for dog services. I truly believe in the care for their dogs. They have help us so much with our border collie Onyx. Nat, Lilly and Mazie provide an amazing service for us. Onyx loves to see them and he loves his walks with them.If you need someone to take care of your dog or pet whisky you’re at work, please contact Nat she will help you and you can feel safe your dog will be safe.

Natalie from Happy Hounds was absolutely fantastic. She looked after our dog on our wedding day and brought him to our ceremony. Our dog can be anxious and difficult sometimes but he had a great time with Natalie. She kindly arranged a meet and greet before the big day and was super flexible to come a little earlier on the day than planned when we needed her to. She also put together the best video of our boy having a great time on the day (check out their insta!). Would 100% recommend Happy Hounds. Thank you so much,

I’m a bit late with my review, I didn’t have an active FB account.
I’ve used happy hounds twice now.
First was drop in visits 2twice a day with walks & second time was over night stays.
Both times we were able to go away without any stress or worry about our babies.
Happy Hounds deliverers impeccable service, genuine pet lovers & trustworthy. I highly recommend them.
Georgia is an absolute sweetheart.

Cierra from Happy Hounds has been amazing with our young Boxer. We have been doing the pop in and plays for awhile now and having someone check in and provide our crazy girl with some playtime has been amazing. It's such a great service that we had Cierra and Ellie look after our girl with the overnight stays while we were away for a week recently. They both have great communication and provide great updates to ensure your at ease, knowing you pup and house is well looked after.

I had Ainsly come & do a overnight stay with my two Frenchie’s last weekend. After moving into a unit from a large house & yard, I have been very worried about going away as my two need to be taken out to the toilet & also sleep on the bed🙈 & just need the human company at night. They are older dogs. After meeting Ainsly I felt more at ease & then after she arrived & sent updates & photos during the afternoon & morning I was totally relaxed & the smiles on my two faces in the pic’s I knew they were happy & cared for. I cannot recommend Happy Hounds highly enough & will be looking at a 2 night stay away in the near future🐾

We made a last minute booking and Ellie was very accommodating. She popped in to meet our 2 labradors in the morning and then came back at night for an overnight stay. One of our pups is terrified in storms and Ellie looked after him at 3am in the morning by lying on the floor with him and patting his head! We are very grateful to her and hope she will come back again when there is no storm!! Thanks Ellie!

I have just left my 8 month old Boxer puppy Leo for the first time so we could go on a week holiday. As with all fur baby mums I was very anxious about leaving him but I wanted him to be in the comfort of his own home. Leo is 30kg of boisterous excitable boxer puppy energy and can be full on so I had to make sure that whoever looked after him was prepared and also able to handle him. Cierra filled me with confidence from our first meet and greet and Leo’s psycho antics when meeting someone new didn’t phase Cierra in the slightest! Cierra gave me constant updates morning noon and night and sent me lots of photos which really put my mind at rest. I came home to a very well looked after puppy who Cierra has even taught to loose lead walk nicely instead of pulling my arm off! I would highly recommend Happy Hounds and I will definitely book again when needed. My house was left neat and tidy and I have a very happy puppy. Thank you Cierra, you are a gem to puppy owners xx
When Bella arrives to walk with our boys, they just love their adventures, tickles and games. Imagine their excitement when she recently stayed over ... fun to the max! We had a guilt free week & truly appreciate your professionalism & care. Thank you team.

Ainsly did a great job looking after my kitties while I was away over Easter. It was my first time leaving the girls so the check ins, photos and updates on the state of their well-being was really great at alleviating my anxiety. The girls at Happy Hounds have been so helpful and brilliant to deal with the whole way through. 12/10 would recommend 😊

We got lots of pictures and updates and he seemed genuinely happy and relaxed.So much nicer being able to leave your dog in the comfort of his own home knowing someone you trust will be coming to check on him.

New recommendation: We’ve used Happy Hounds three times now and each time they have been fantastic!!! We’ve had the pleasure of both Lerissa and Abbey looks after all our babies and they have both been amazing! Thank you for such a wonderful service, we have the most relaxing holidays knowing our fur babies (and wet babies - fish) are all loved and cared for. Thanks Happy Hounds!

Previous recommendation:
Thank you so much Happy Hounds and Lerissa for not only caring for our babies but also for the fabulous communication and all love Max, Bella and Mojo received. Lerissa was fabulous and gave us such peace of mind when we were in Melbourne knowing our babies were happy and well. Lerissa did an amazing job ensuring their routines were the same as when we are home. Although they loved having us home after our holiday, I have sneaking suspicion they are missing their Lerissa already 😉. Will definitely use Happy Hounds in the future!!

Really want to thank the team here for helping us out VERY LAST MINUTE. Called about 4hrs out from actually needing a pet sitter for my own wedding (due to a last minute cancellation from another company)The Happy Hounds team really came through for me! They listened to my needs, understood the assignment and let me know they may not be able to assist but would let me know within an hour- less then 20mins yes later there were 2 FANTASTIC pet sitters available to swap out mid way and look after my Amstaff Boy Gucci for 8hours!Thank you so much Happy hounds, Mazie and Cierra the pet sitters who made my boy feel comfortable and happy the whole night. Couldn’t recommend enough!!

I cannot recommend Happy Hounds enough! Cierra came for a meet and greet and met our pack and despite my significant nerves about leaving my home and precious pooches in the hands of a stranger she allayed my fears, communicated with me regularly and left my home spotless. I’m so gratefully to have found this service- finally my husband and I can get away with complete peace of mind! Will definitely be using this service on a regular basis. Big thanks to Cierra and Natalie.

We are so thrilled & grateful to have found Happy Hounds. As concerned pet-owners, who leave our two beloved young cats (one of whom is special-needs) in the capable hands of our sitter for 1-3 nights at a time, this means peace of mind knowing that our cats receive the standard of attention and care they need. Our current sitter remembers every details of information information give her and takes absolutle pride in her customer service. We love receiving photos and updates while we're away and to know our cats are happy & safe. Happy Hounds are always impeccable and responsive as well as easily contactable. We have used Happy Hounds for at least a year now, and commend them for handling short-notice bookings and busy peak-periods. I would feel no hesitation in recommending this service.

Thanks again!

We organised regular dog walks for our two dogs through Happy Hounds whilst we were away for a month. Happy Hounds were great! Easy to communicate with, they answered our questions quickly, easy booking of walks and invoicing. Ainsly, our allocated dog walker, was lovely and we totally felt reassured leaving our pups in her hands! We'll definitely use them again!

Happy Hounds is amazing. I could not recommend highly enough.

They found the perfect dog sitter for us with less than 24 hours notice. The wonderful sitter stayed overnight and also did drop ins during the day for our little social butterfly. Our pup was walked, fed and loved exactly like we would and we were sent regular updates all day.

I have nothing but wonderful words to say.

Thank you Natalie and team!

Highly recommend Natalie from Happy Hounds.
She looked after our 3 cats over the holiday period more than once and nothing was a problem. We got regular photos and updates. Any suggestions were taken on board. Little extras like taking the rubbish out, watering plants was done. Even gave the place quick vacuum to remove the cat hair and turned the fans on during hot weather. Love the initiative shown.
Worth every penny.
We will definitely use this service again.

Where do I start, I felt the struggle working full time and raising a child and yes I bought a Covid puppy. It got to the point of admitting I was doing an injustice to my boys to call Nat at happy hounds. I was worried because these are my very spoilt babies and from the moment I spoke with Nat I was at ease. She let me know that she had picked Steph for my boy, when Steph arrived I knew she was a perfect fit. Now we only booked the puppy in for the first few walks but Steph was/is so amazing she was happy to take boy my boys and well they love it and so do I.
Steph has such an amazing personality and my pup is just in love with her and has goo goo eyes for her. We are so happy with happy hounds and Steph we can’t stop raving about her to everyone. I highly recommend Happy Hounds and Steph and will continue to use them.

Once again Happy Hounds saved the day.

We utilised the overnight pet sitting services and Georgie was excellent.

Our Hudson boy was spoilt with love, pats, walks and got to stay in the comfort of his own home. Georgie was great with constant updates on what they were up to which gave great piece of mind.

100% reccomend Happy Hounds to anyone 🙂

Bonnie has complex care instructions regarding medication etc which I can rest assured are taken care of in my absence. I love the daily updates and photos, it makes me feel so much more at ease when I have to work away. Thank you so much!

Absolutely loved the experience of Happy Hounds from the moment I made an enquiry! No matter how many questions I had I always received such a prompt response from Natalie.

We have now used the pet services twice and could not think of a better group to take care of our 15 year old fur ball. Loved all the updates we received and it made our time away all the more relaxing knowing our puppy dog was being taken care of and enjoying his time with his puppy sitters.

We can’t wait to use the service again soon!

We’ve booked Nat and the team a number of times now to care for our two cats, one of whom has a medical stress condition and sometimes needs medication, and we could not be happier! Nat always manages to accommodate us for short or long bookings, and even when we last minute decide to have a weekend away. The little extras for whenever we’re away longer (mail, watering plants etc) are an added bonus and a great help! Highly recommend Nat and her team 😊

We used Happy Hounds for our Beagle / Foxhound whilst we went to Brisbane for the night. Our dog has a lot of energy and needs lots of love so we opted for the The Social Pupperino with an additional walk in the morning. Booking was easy and Stacey reached out to organise a meet and greet. She was great with Bruno, handled him great and listened to all our weird and wonderful requests for our pampered, precious pooch. Whilst away we got regular updates with photos and texts of reassurance ( at no extra charge ) we got email updates with live tracking data of the walks and the house was left tidy and clean. Will definitely be using these guys again - Thanks Happy Hounds

Thankyou so much Natalie for your great communication in getting us all organised, and thanks especially to Lilli who looked after our 5 furry friends while we were away. We really appreciated the daily updates letting us know everyone was all ok. It gave us great peace of mind.

With 5 animals to feed and all of their little idiosyncrasies (and our grumpy 50kg Rotti hahah), Lilli took it all in her stride and I was confident they were all in safe hands.

In the past, we've relied on family and house sitters for us to be able to take a holiday - but that always presented a few issues so our holidays and breaks away we're limited.

Now we've found such a professional, reliable and quality service like Happy Hounds, we are looking forward to more time away.

Thanks so much Happy Hounds - I can't recommend you highly enough!!

Thank you to Nat and her team for taking such great care of my boy with drop-in visits and day stays. When my boy had to have surgery and needed a watchful eye as he recovered and I had to return to work, it gave me great comfort knowing that Nat and her team were taking such great care of him.

Nat was and always is very accommodating and often squeezed in drop-in visits at very short notice. Nat and her team’s care, coupled with their photo and video updates, gave me peace of mind knowing that my boy was being checked on and well looked after while I had to work and as he settled into his new environment. Thanks you Happy Hounds Dog Walking and Pet Sitting!

Such an easy and stress-free process from start to end, including the meet and greet and throughout the drop in visits. Milly was able to stay in her familiar home environment with Abbey dropping in to feed, walk, and play with Milly. Such a great alternative to putting Milly into a kennel. Highly recommend Abbey and Happy Hounds.

Ebony and Abbey were absolutely wonderful with our cats Phoebe and Miles. I was a bit worried leaving our furbabies for two weeks, as they both love their cuddles and routine. We were so relieved that they were cared for so lovingly, and the regular updates and photos put us all totally at ease, so we could enjoy our holiday. One of our kitties is also very, very shy, so it was wonderful that Abbey and Ebony took the time to bring him out of his shell for cuddles and attention. I would not hesitate to book Happy Hounds again - they were brilliant. Even brought in our mail and left a lovely note to come home to. Thank you for everything, Abbey and Ebony!

We have just returned from five nights away from our girls (who are a little bit crazy might I add) and I can not express how well they were looked after, Ellie was amazing with them and with us! We always had photos and updates of their adventures and snuggle time and felt really at ease. The house has also been looked after so well! You wouldn’t have even known someone had been staying here, and we also came home to a lovely note and some treats for the girls. Such a great experience dealing with you guys, thanks so much! 💛

I got regular gps updates of walks as well as photos (just like daycare). Buddy was so spoilt with cuddles and walks !! I would not hesitate to use them again for our 1 year old cocker spaniel. Buddy was so happy to stay in his home environment and just have new friends to come and hang out with him Thank you 🙏

We were so nervous about leaving our 6 month old puppy at home while we were away for a week. He is our baby and it was so important to find someone to care for him that would love him just as much as we do and we are so grateful to have found that in the Happy Hounds teams! Natalie was so accomdating to our short notice request and went out of her way to make her work for us! While we were away, we really loved the photo updates and felt at ease seeing what our boy was up to and how happy he was. Having the girls stay at home with him was the best decision as his routine got to stay the same for him and he seemed really happy with his new friends. Finn enjoyed lots of couch cuddles and lots of Frisbee fetching just like he would have if we were home and I am grateful for this service letting us enjoy our time away, knowing our boy was so safe and happy.

Thank you so much Abbey and Natalie for the stellar service we received this long weekend! I was out of town and decided to try Happy Hounds Dog Walking for my fox terrier Buddy. Couldn’t recommend this service highly enough. From start to finish I was communicated with and advised if anything needed to change due to weather conditions. I was sent regular notifications advising when Abbey had picked Buddy up and also dropped him off. She also provided picture and video updates once finished which was greatly appreciated. Will definitely be using this service again. Thank you both!

This is the second time I have used Happy Hounds and wouldn't go anywhere else ever again. Plenty of updates, you can tell the girls really love animals and Bea looked to be having a great time. House was spotless on our return, they even left a really thoughtful little gift for Bea who loves a treat! Happy Hounds are a professional company and worth every dollar. I recommend them highly enough.

I have used Happy Hounds 3 times now and every time I have been so impressed. All the girls have been lovely and taken great care of my 2 boys. I’ve always come home to happy relaxed dogs. I get videos, photos and updates and it makes such a difference going away knowing you don’t have to worry about your pets. Highly recommend!!!

Ellie from happy hounds was amazing at looking after my boy Francois. Ellie stayed overnight and sat with him.

Francois is special needs and requires a little extra care, Ellie was so accommodating and we would certainly recommend Ellie and happy hounds.

I can’t recommend Happy Hounds enough. They have been working with my furbaby who has fear-aggression issues but they are so calm and patient and I feel so lucky to have people who love my dog nearly as much as I do! Thank you from the bottom of my heart and I hope Basil will trust you soon and have another hooman friend in his life 🥰🥰🥰

Couldn’t recommend Happy Hounds enough! We had Carissa come and do a meet and greet the week before the overnight stays and I felt comfortable straight away. Our dogs got up to some mischief and Carissa was great with just dealing with it! We got lots of updates throughout the stay and the house was left clean and tidy. Thank you again!

We booked Happy Hounds to look after our animals over a 8 day period. Ellie was awesome! She sent lots of photos and videos, which we loved! We felt very confident and reassured that our pets were well cared for, our dog Magnus loved the park trips, swimming in the lake. We definitely will book through Happy Hounds again! Very happy and our pets were too 😊🌸

For our latest trip we organized Happy Hounds to look after our cat. Georgia was amazing and she took very good care of him and knowing he was in Georgia’s capable hands made it a little easier to leave him for a family break. We will without a doubt be using happy hounds again!

Used Happy Hounds for the first time.I had a meet & greet with Stacey & felt comfortable straight away. I had daily updates every day & pictures, which was extremely reassuring. I could tell they were definitely looked after. I came home to happy boys. Highly recommended Happy Hounds & would definitely have Stacey Back!!!

Very pleased and happy to have found such a great pet sitter! Super professional and helpful, Natalie was so friendly, and I was lucky that they were also able to take my booking last minute which included a meet and greet 🙂 I’d highly recommend Amber who was our sitter and so sweet and accomodating every step of the way. Certainly would reach out to them again in the future!

We have used Happy Hounds since Natalie started the business some 7 years ago. I believe were we one of the first few clients she had. All I can say is that everything she has done from back then till now has been amazing. The care for our dogs when we were away, the regularly walks and play and the genuine love for animals that Natalie and her team that she has built is amazing. The prices are reasonable and the service is always over delivered. Thank you guys. Daniel L. Ormeau

Natalie looked after my dog and cat over two nights and did a fantastic job. She gave me regular updates and my pets were so content they didn't miss me at all. Definitely recommend and will be using again. Thank you so much Natalie and the Happy Hounds team 🙂

My 2 spcial indoor cats were very well looked after in our home. We came home to them not stressed out and very happy. We were updated with photos. They accepted my very last minute booking with no problem andwe would have missed out on going away without their help. Thank you
