I have taken my two black labradors there on a few occassions now and have been really pleased with the service. They come home tired and happy. They are keen to get out of the car and get in there when I drop them off, and I think that speaks volumes!!!

Approximate cost: $50 for 2 dogs

From a Dog who wouldn't eat our Lucy now can't wait to get inside.
You can't fool a dog and Lucy is treated so well we almost feel guilty taking her home!
I find the dirty matted mistreated dog comments, from a long distance away at that, totally unbelievable and more likely some poor sad Opposition kennel desperately seeking customers.

Approximate cost: $23

I guess the fact that this establishment has finally been closed down speaks for itself....

I totally agree that this is a great business. My 2 labradors love going there and can't wait to get inside. Shows me that they get the care and attention from staff and enjoy the experience. Have heard that there are neighbours that are on a bit of a vendetta to see it closed and that would be a great shame. I am pleased to have somewhere I can take my dogs where I know they will be cared for while I am away.

Our 13 year old dog has been having holidays here for about 6 years, and when she gets she there she wags her rump with joy. Dave and Michelle treat her like an old friend, and we have no hesitation leaving her here for short stays as we know she is in the best hands beside our own.

We left our greyhound for the first time for a 3 week holiday and she loved her experience. Cleo was well looked after and enjoyed having lots of cuddles with her carers. I would recommend this establishment to other greyhound owners as the owners understand these unique dogs.

we have used the pet playhouse for a few years our babies don't get along and we are very respected at that, they are kept separated as requested, but get all the attention needed and more, one of our babies gets to spend more time their then the other, when we tell her she is going on holidays she runs around nuts, it has got to the point that we can't mention Dave or Michelle's names that she gets all excited jumping and running around going absolutely crazy, will and have highly recommended playhouse pet motel to family and friends.

Have reccommended Dave and Michelle to a lot of people for their doggies.
I have put my little Jack Russell into their capable and caring hands on numerous occassions and they have helped me out in emergency situations when I've had to be hospitalized, at one stage even putting her in with their own doggy. I can't thank them enough. My little girl has always been well groomed on pick up and she loves going in which is a big relief when having to leave her.

Approximate cost: $20

My dog was left at the Playhouse Pet Motel (Wyee) for 3 weeks. When I got him back, he had a cut on his front paw, parts of his fur was matted & he had lost weight. It was clear he wasn't looked after & cared for to the standard that would be expected from a business that cares for the welfare of animals.
** Sure, they will not treat all dogs in their 'care' (or should it be... custody) in the same careless manner, as they will be out of business quick smart. However, this incident (experience) alone should serve as a reminder (caution) to others thinking of sending their dog to this place. I will never send my friend back there again!

Approximate cost: $22 per day

This review is not of this world eh Yodi? This and Booths must be desoperate to see it gone so they can start or run their business to the standards they talk about.
Rubbish and uncaring.

Hey 'bevg1' - you may want to learn to express yourself more intelligently as your comment made here (probably done in spite after my legitimate rebuke of yours) makes no sense. I have no idea of your reference to "Booths". My eyewitness account here is legitimate (& "of this world" as you put it). I work in the medical field & have no association at all with the pet caring industry if that is what you are alluding to. Your defensive attitude here makes me (as should anyone else) wonder if you have intimate association with this business... as stated before... in an attempt at "trying to save face" in light of this valid personal account! Hmmm... in fact, isn't it interesting that your comment is made on the very same morning as the "booh1" comment (in your post) stating the business is still "fully functional".

The Playhouse is an amazing home away from home for your pets! Dave and Michelle take the time to get to kno you and your dog. They place dogs with a 'Buddy' a friend that they will get along with. OUr dog is used to having a cat, so they place her with a small dog so she won't be intimidated.

Approximate cost: $18 p day
