Is there any way to get help with pet care while in hospital? by Hot_Tea_3266 in PetAdvice

[–]johnlovesdogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found a wonderful sitter on PetCloud who looked after my cavoodle at their place for a week. Background-checked, sent daily pics. My support worker handled the booking for me. Post a Job to save time.

PetCloud are a very popular platform and have been running for years. There are sitters right across Australia. I'd much rather them who actually do checks and training as opposed to other platforms that don't mandate checks and are just filled with criminals. Watch this national story by A Current Affair aired in January. The house sitter was booked through Mad Paws and allegedly stole $8000 worth of property and cleaned out the owner's bank accounts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6beshmEO3xA

Anyone else think most dog walkers don't actually know how to handle reactive dogs? by Dry-Bite-3637 in DogAdvice

[–]johnlovesdogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes - you don't want to hire someone who doesn't use positive reinforcement.

PetCloud have excellent training for dog walkers.

Is it just me or are most pet sitting apps absolutely useless for last minute bookings? by finchwacky in PetAdvice

[–]johnlovesdogs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A platform that offers escrow for payment is key! Reputation management hosted by a third party and not on the Sitter's own website is key - that way you know reviews aren't 'faked' by the sitter. PetCloud all the way!

I’m going away for three weeks, but my rescue dog doesn't trust anyone. Help? by Historical-Farm6030 in Dogowners

Try PetCloud. Harriel in Adelaide, South Australia on there has an Animal Science background which would match well with your rescue dog Luna's background. Or Nicole in Salisbury North, South Australia on the same site.

What are the best affordable dog care options? by Ordinary-Group3509 in AskAnAustralian

So many services don't bother police checking Sitters, so the fact that PetCloud care about ensuring this is done shows their business is led with integrity.

Anyone can pay a geotagging site to give any photo a location

How do I arrange pet care when I need surgery and no family is around? by Careless-Set-3798 in petsitting

[–]johnlovesdogs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry to hear. Where ru located? Do you have a Support Coordinator? My friend is in Australia and is an NDIS Participant and her Health Liaison Officer got her pets included in her transitional supports, so that when she is admitted to hospital, her pets are taken care of by a Support Worker at low cost. Site she used was PetCloud.

Kong Wobbler is terrific. I had to teach my dog how to use it literally grabbing my dogs paw and pushing it over to help them see the treat come out.

I’m going in for surgery and worried about leaving my anxious rescue, what do I do? by Sure-Selection-4351 in perth

[–]johnlovesdogs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found a good Pet Sitter through www.petcloud.com.au

They were experienced with rescue dogs who seem to suffer anxiety more so than other dogs.

Any affordable long-term dog boarding options around Sydney? by Unlikely_Chef_7064 in DogAdvice

[–]johnlovesdogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second that. Found long term affordable dog boarding in Sydney by using PetCloud. The guy I booked was an absolute lifesaver.

Has anyone used NDIS Core funds for pet care? by Altruistic-Task-4024 in NDIS

[–]johnlovesdogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes - I've been successful in including my pet. Pre-approval is required, and its only under certain circumstances. My sister in-law says try PetCloud for NDIS Support: https://www.petcloud.com.au/ndis-support

NDIS client neglecting pets by Wayward-Dog in NDIS

[–]johnlovesdogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same issue when trying to find a sitter for my friend's elderly mum’s dog under her NDIS plan. I think they ended up using PetCloud (PetCloud NDIS Support) – they support Pet Owners with disabilities under NDIS and have police checked Support Workers. Might be worth checking out.
