This was our 5th pet sit looking after Axle the adorable black Labrador and Freddy the sweet natured tabby, i the beautiful suburb of Malvern Hill. We love return pet sits as it gives us a better opportunity to bond with the pets but the hard part is always leaving.
Feedback from pet parents (see below)
Dear Merryn & Ray,
Thank you so much for your wonderful care of Axle & Freddy yet again!
They get such beautiful care from you they don’t look very excited when I walk in the door! 😼🐾🐕🦺
Enjoy your time overseas, I am sad you won’t be here to take care of them in August, and they will miss you!
Hope you have great pet stays. Xx

We spent 3 weeks looking after sweet Teddy the fluffy white Cavachon in an over 55's resort in Ocean Grove. We took Teddy with us everywhere including dog friendly local beaches and wineries. We loved spending time with Teddy who is such a sweet well behaved and very friendly little doggy who loved his twice daily walks, play time and cuddles.
Feedback from pet parent (see below)
Merryn and Ray came to my home in Ocean Grove. Victoria to look after my 3 year old cavechon Teddy .
Well, he had the best time going to the beach, the local wineries and big long walks. He had never had it so good. He was so loved and spoilt. Merryn sent me photos of his outings and sitting with them in my home!
I didn’t have to worry about Teddy while I was out of the country as I knew he was being so well looked after.
When I came home my house was spotless and when Merryn and Ray left the next day he sat at the front door waiting for them to come back.
I will definitely use Merryn and Ray to dog sit Teddy in the future without any hesitation.
I highly recommend their services. They are the best!
Thank you
Janet Moriarty

We love looking after Baci the curly haired Murray River Retriever in Patterson Lakes. He is such a sweet loveable character, who loves his twice daily walks along the local river trail to the beach where he can dive into the sea and retrieve his tennis ball. We've been lucky enough to be invited back on numerous occasions and always jump at the chance to spend time with him.
Feedback from Baci's owners:
You guys are the bestest! Thank you very much. I just love coming home to such a lovely clean house and happy dog.

This was our fourth pet sit looking after Axle the adorable black Labrador retriever and Freddy the chatterbox Tabby in the leafy green suburb of Malvern. We've been invited back in February 2025 and we couldn't be happier as we absolutely love spending time with these two. As you can see they love helping Ray in the kitchen.
Feedback from owner:
Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my house and Axle & Freddy once again.
It was such a relaxing holiday knowing you were taking care of everything in my absence. Axle & Freddy looked so content on my arrival. Secretly, I think they were hoping one of you would open the door!!! 🐾🐾🐕🦺😼
Once again I arrived to a spotless home, laundry done, beds made and a spotless house! As well as a tidy garden! 👏👏🙏🙏
August/September 2024 - New Orleans
This is sweet Babycat who we had the pleasure of looking after for 6 glorious weeks in a beautiful historical home in Algiers Point/New Orleans. Babycat is a petite 2 year old rescue cat with the most gorgeous playful and loving personality. We loved spending time with this sweet girl and wouldn't hesitate to sit here anytime. The house was gorgeous, so comfortable and in a great location.
Review: Don’t hesitate another second in booking Merryn and Ray for your pet sit needs! They are both such lovely people and did a fantastic job looking after our home and Baby Cat for six weeks. We loved their updates and they are first on our list for all future pet sits! - Russell & Penelope

We spent two weeks in Austin Texas looking after the sweet and gentle Shepherd called Dirks and his adorable siblings Maisie the poodle and Ollie the terrier. They all got on so well and enjoyed their twice daily explorations around the neighbourhood.

We spent a week in trendy East Austin looking after Buttercup the sweet terrier and Man Man the cat. Even in her advancing years Buttercup loved her twice daily walks around the streets and kept up a cracking pace.

This was our fourth sit in Patterson Lakes looking after Baci the adorable Murray River Retriever. We love taking him for walks along the River and to Carrum Beach. We're pleased to be booked in to look after him again in January 2025.
Review: Merryn & Ray are the ultimate pet-sitters, we definitely struck gold when we found them to care for our energetic retriever. They are passionate, caring, reliable, professional, considerate and exceptional dog lovers.
January 2024 - Barwon Heads
This was our second time looking after sweet Lily the elderly Cavalier. We were lucky to be able to spend three precious weeks in Barwon Heads with her as she sadly passed away a few months later. She loved it when we would take her out in our car, especially when we would take her to the local bakery for one of their famous meat pies. . Like all cavaliers she loved her food and had a zest for life right up until the end.

This was our second time looking after these two sweethearts and we will be looking after them again in November 2024. Axle is a beautiful black Labrador who loves to chase balls in the nearby park. Freddie is a very chatty cat who when not sleeping is asking for food. They both love cuddles which we're happy to provide.

We were so lucky to spend time with two sweet cats in Athens. Foivos the ginger gentleman and Mochi the energetic kitten. The apartment had a huge wrap around balcony with an amazing view of the Parthenon. We loved sitting out on the balcony basking in the warm Greek sun together.

Looking after these two large rescue dogs for 6 weeks was such a fantastic experience. We loved taking them on long walks and exploring this gorgeous village and the surrounds. The hardest part was saying goodbye as we became so fond of them.
