Are you leaving town for the night, weekend or more? The Happy Hounds holiday drop-in and pet sitting service is perfect for pets that thrive by staying in their routine and own home environment when you’re away. 

We offer 1, 2 or 3 pet sitting visits to your home, allowing you to create a schedule that is customised to your pet’s daily routine. And not only do we cater to your furry friends, but also reptiles, pocket-sized animals, birds, farmyard animals and horses.

What our clients say

  • Laura O’Hara

    “ I can’t recommend Happy Hounds highly enough! First time using Happy Hounds and I am blown away. From the first interaction when booking on line, the team were so helpful.

    Our dog sitter Amber went above and beyond! I am always so anxious when going away as I hate leaving our boy. It was just so nice to know he was in such good hands! We were sent daily photos and updates which put my mind at ease. Our pup was spoilt rotten, our bins were brought in chickens were fed and all doggy nuggets were disposed of. We came home to a very happy pup and a beautiful note and treat for our little guy.

    Thank you so much Happy Hounds, we will be using you every time we go away!

  • Melissa Molony

    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

  • Nicole Banks

    Big shout out to happy hounds pet sitting and dog walking. I used them for the first time and was so delighted to receive daily updates and photos of my fur babies while I was away. Even maps of their walking adventures. It was great to go away knowing our pets were being cared for in their own home. Thanks Natalie and team!
