WHAT OUR CLIENTS HAVE SAID ABOUT “DON’T FRET PET!”….

Elizabeth was absolutely fantastic. Dash loved the stay and has never looked healthier or happier. I had peace of mind and Dash still has a smile. We will be seeing you again next holiday.

Sean – Mitcham VIC


I would just like to say that we have been using Dont Fret Pet for over 2 years and have found Janene & Tony & their family the most wonderful minders for our lovely Australian Kelpie "Billie".They just love her to death and nothing is too much trouble for them. As far as Billie is concerned she just loves them back. Thank you Janene & Tony for being such caring people.
 
Jan & Laura - Ambarvale NSW


I just wanted to thank you for introducing us to Rebecca and Chris.  Rebecca was absolutely lovely, (we missed Chris each time) but Charlie was very well cared for so much so he actually missed them for a couple of days on his return, which is lovely.  They definitely went above and beyond with his care and attention.  Charlie was not only brushed and cuddled, given his medication as per instructions but he was bathed and we even received a mms picture of him while we were away showing us he was happy and relaxed.  He really enjoyed playing with her dogs too.

I have, and will be recommending this service to my family, friends and colleagues.

I just wanted to say thank you for your recent service - for pet minding "Trinity".  Sue (and her family) were stars, and Trinity had lots of fun staying with her.  Please thank her again from us.  Finding your company was a real lifesaver and really helped us out of a tricky situation.

Teresa - Bulimba QLD


Gizmo loves going to Jasmine’s, he gets all excited in the car as soon as he knows where he is going. It’s almost like a second home to him. It’s peace of mind for me because I know he is going to be happy and cared for really well.

Michelle – Donvale VIC  


We have used Don’t Fret Pet several times now and I think it is a fantastic service!!

I think it is the best option for our dogs when we go away (apart from them actually coming with us) and I wouldn’t have it any other way! I am often telling other people about you guys and what a great, easy, affordable and comforting service you offer!

The only bad part is...the dogs behave on their holidays and revert to their old ways when they get home! I couldn’t believe it when I warned the last people they were staying with about some of their little tricks and naughty habits and when we arrived to pick them up the little buggers had been perfect!!! You gotta love ‘em! Thanks.


Beck - Alexandra Hills QLD

The weekend went really well. The Minder was just great and I would gladly send Blossom there again.


Ann - Narrabundah ACT


I just wanted to say that Coco seemed like she had a lovely weekend at Anna's house.....and I think the feeling was mutual, as Anna seemed to really enjoy Coco's company.
 
I'd be very happy to use Anna again when the time arises and I appreciate your help in finding a nice home for Coco to go to.
Donna - Ashgrove QLD


It was a pleasure to find such a fantastic service at short notice and such lovely minders. I think Jazz came home with better manners. Thank you. P.S. You should also be called "Don't Fret Pet Owner".

Margaret – Murrumbeena VIC

Just wanted to give you some feedback about Poppy’s dog-sitting at Sue’s house this week. As you know I was quite concerned as to how she would be as she had only just arrived here from WA the day before. She had a great time with Sue and her family and I think she was ready to move in with them and not come home with me!!! The love and attention Sue showed to Poppy has helped her adjust to her move to Canberra and it was much appreciated. Sue herself is wonderful. I was very happy with the service all round and Poppy was very relaxed there and at home which was a nice relief for me.

Just wanted to give you some positive feedback as we so often complain when things are wrong but forget to speak up when things are good! Thanks again for fitting her in at such short notice.
Jodie - Duffy ACT

Just to say thankyou for matching us with such a lovely and loving family in Brenda and John. I felt totally confident that Maggie and Ben would have the best care and was not disappointed. I collected them yesterday and last night I think both dogs were having 'withdrawal symptoms' and missing their new family.
I would recommend Brenda and John as carers to anyone, even the most protective and indulgent of owners. This home reigns supreme in love and attention and care for animals.

Thankyou again for your service. Sincerely
Ruth - Toowoon Bay NSW

We wanted to let you and Maureen know how impressed we were with the care Di and Tom offered our dogs. We felt they were really outstanding and so thoughtful and dog centered and not surprised that out two seemed reluctant to come home !!!
We felt that our dogs were in excellent hands and had a truly happy week and appeared very healthy and loved on our return. Please could Maureen pass on our gratitude for such an excellent job well done and that we shall certainly use them again. Many thanks.
Martin and Judy - Sunshine Coast

Just wanted to let you know I was really, really, really happy with the way Jean & Ken looked after Jimmy while I was away. They are a very lovely couple. I am really thrilled to have found your service and will most definitely use you again and will also recommend you to everyone. Thanks for making my holiday "fret free"! Kind regards
Jody - Ashgrove QLD

Just to let you know that my dog Sid had an absolutely fantastic time with Barbara last week.  I cannot speak highly enough of Barbara and would recommend her to anybody as the most wonderful carer for a dog anyone could hope for.  She was just brilliant. They had made him so welcome he really seemed part of THEIR family!!! Thank you again for all your efforts.

Helen – North Balwyn VIC

Meredith was wonderful, and I have no hesitation in recommending her care.
JB - Holland Park QLD

The Brearleys were fantastic, very flexible with dropping him off (I ended up dropping off Hogan Christmas night). All of the family loved having Hogan and were sad to see him go. They even taught him how to heel!!!! I would not hesitate using them again. Gee it makes my life a lot easier to know there are lovely people out there to look after my baby.

Lorna – Ringwood VIC 

I have just emailed Jenny to let her know our views on the Gilberts and Don't Fret Pet. Marvellous! We collected Gilby from Antoinette’s yesterday afternoon and what a happy dog. He had obviously had a wonderful holiday, and enjoyed playing with Antoinette’s son.

We were very impressed with the whole family, and the way they treated Gilby. Antoinette even phoned us the first evening to let us know how Gilby was....this was really appreciated.

We will certainly use Don't Fret Pet again, and tell anyone who will listen about you. I will also be letting our vet know about you all too. Again many thanks,
Josephine - Algester QLD

I just want to let you know that the service and efficiency from Sue on the Gold Coast was GREAT, she found a lovely lady for us at short notice and everything went very well.

We had never left our dogs with anyone before but Maureen the lady who had them made us feel very relaxed and the dogs had a nice safe place to play and even a ride out in the car.. and this was just day care.

“Don't Fret Pet!” is a great service and I am glad I found out about it instead of leaving my dogs in a kennels. Thanks again and regards
Monica - Wingham NSW

We were wonderfully impressed with how well Ziggy was looked after. I'm not sure she really wanted to come home. Everything was great from the first phone contact with Jasmine. Hayma and her husband did a fantastic job and it was so much nicer than leaving her in a kennel. We will definitely use you again.

Carolyn – Northcote VIC

Many thanks for the prompt service in finding a "holiday home" for Bubbles. Elissa was lovely and Bubbles appeared very content in her company. Again, thank you. I will be sure to recommend Don't Fret Pet to friends and family. Many thanks.
Fiona - Everton Park QLD

Thank You! Monty stayed with Ken and Jean from Thursday to Sunday. She came home a lot less worn out and was a lot more comfortable with Ken and Jean than with anyone we've had in our own home. She settled in quickly, had run of the house and was spoilt ROTTEN! I'm SURE Monty was weighing up her options when we collected her - should I stay with these nice people or go home with my mum? They are absolute gems and I hope they stay on your list of Minders for a long time yet."
Amanda - McDowell QLD


Thankyou for your introduction to Pam in Adelaide, was very much appreciated. Pam is a lovely lady and very helpful in placing our dog Nelson with suitable carers as we are travelling from Darwin and are unable to have Nelson with us during our stay.

In Adelaide it seems like the perfect solution. You would do very well setting up the same service here in Darwin and Alice Springs. Darwin especially, with most of the population on the move all year round. Thank you once again for a wonderful service. We hope you have a lovely Xmas and New Year. Kind regards
Julie and Peter - Darwin NT

We have recently used your services and wish to thank you for arranging care for our cocker spaniel - Billy. Also a thank-you to Marjorie the carer who took wonderful care of our Billy. Billy looked relaxed and in excellent health when we picked him up. We will most certainly use your service again should the opportunity arise.
Nina - Albany Creek QLD

Our carers were a lovely family who clearly cared for Monty beautifully while we were away.

Anne – Ashburton VIC

Thanks for all your help with Marley. He loves Dianne - she is wonderful.
TS - New Farm QLD

Rene was a great minder. Her home and backyard was very dog friendly & when we went to pick them up you could see they loved it there. We would definitely use your service again. We have already spread the word.

Claire & Chris – Forest Hill QLD

Just wanted to let you know that on New Year's Eve my dog Pedro stayed with Desmond and Jennifer in Fitzgibbon for the night. They were absolutely great with Pedro. My dog is a little timid (he's small too) and Des had a couple of other dogs there, but I'm telling you he gave Pedro attention, had him sit on his knee for an hour and watched them closely.

When we went to pick of Pedro the following day, he was playing with the other dogs outside in the garden!! Des even phoned us in the afternoon (because we were a bit worried) and told us that Pedro was doing great. Pedro wasn't stressed at all and was quite happy when we picked him up.

I'd like to compliment Des and Jenny for their caring for Pedro. They were fabulous! I'd also like to say that Liz Hollingshead was really helpful in finding them for Pedro, and was so prompt I was almost floored! She was great! These people definitely care about the animals they are looking after. I will definitely be asking Des and Jenny to mind Pedro again and will highly recommend your service.
Thanks so much!!
Alex - Chermside QLD

I can’t get over the number of lovely ‘doggie’ people I have met when arranging care for our dog through Don’t Fret Pet when we have been away! Each time we have come home from a holiday we have not been able to believe our luck with the nice people our dog Homer has stayed with. This time was no exception. We got home to one very excited dog but knew also that he had thoroughly enjoyed his holiday. We were shown the photos to prove it! Jennifer was just wonderful and very caring. I was very conscious of the fact that Homer on this occasion needed to be administered with medication at least once a day and can be very fussy when it comes to food (probably our fault for letting him!) but Jennifer was willing to do whatever was necessary.

Thank-you once again for the introduction. We could not have wished for a nicer arrangement.
Belinda - Turramurra NSW


Hayma was lovely and looked after Max like her own. I would be very happy if she would look after Max again in the future.
Kelly – Fairfield VIC

We just want to let you know how much we appreciate your looking after our “Asha”.
It is obvious when we come to collect Asha that both times she has stayed with you she is well cared for and loved. Maybe you look after her too well as she appears to go into a bit of a decline for a couple of days after she has come home. We put it down to the fact that she is exhausted after tearing all over your huge back yard with her new “best friends”.

We always enjoy our holiday that much more knowing that Asha is being loved and cared for just as if she was with us at home.

Thank you again Jenny and we look forward to seeing you when next Asha comes to stay with you.
Sue & Barry - Noosa QLD

I am waterlogged. Went to visit family in Grafton NSW and got flooded in. But thankfully Carol and Trevor could take Amber and Chandler an extra night. I can't thank you enough for the service both yourself and Carol and Trevor provide.

Amber and Chandler are my babies and it was very comforting to know that I could just ring Trevor and Carol and know that they could take on the extra night knowing full well that they were loved and cared for. It really does make "a hell of a difference" to me. They are my children and they were so very well taken care of - I know so - they never want to come home after being at Carol's and Trevor's, they love being there. Again thank you. I truly appreciate it.
Sharon - QLD

I thought I'd write to let you know how pleased we were to have Jay mind Toffee and that it all went very well. It was great to have the peace of mind that Toffee was being well looked after. It is/was the ideal situation. Toffee settled back quickly here too. Our holiday was very successful and I'm glad we had the experience/s and time away.  Thank you.
