My Luna Bug right after her groom with Julie! She always does an amazing job and Luna loves all the cuddles and affection. Being a first time dog mum Julie has been so helpful, not just with grooming but any training questions I have. Highly recommend!

Our cat Billie was so loved and well looked after while in Julie and Jacob’s care, I felt at ease knowing she was genuinely cared for while we were away on holidays. I tell everyone how happy I was and wouldn’t definitely use them again.

Couldn’t recommend Julie and Jacob enough. They look after our little puppy so well. He is a shy anxious little boy but they spend the time to make sure he is well looked after and always comes out happy and looking perfect.

I had my cat Evie stay with Julie at Pampered Floof for a week while my family and I were on vacation. Julie ensured Evie was comfortable, happy and cared-for the duration of the time I was away. She always sent me photo and video updates of Evie whenever I asked. Julie is the kindest, warmest and most loving crazy cat lady I’ve ever come across!! So glad to know I have someone to rely on whenever Im away or in need of some cat pampering. Not to mention, I’ve never seen Evie warm up to a new person so quickly

Julie is one of those incredibly rare individuals who has an absolute affinity with dogs. She is kind and compassionate and understands the complexities of dog behaviour. I have worked with many behaviourists and trainers and I rate Julie as head and shoulders above everyone else.

We boarded our cat Leo with Julie and Jacob for 6 days and we're extremely happy with their service. They were friendly, accommodating and reassuring. We were able to view the facility before drop off day which gave me peace of mind. Leo has come home and it's obvious he has been well looked after. He's not the friendliest of cats and they took their time with him, not putting any un- needed stress on him and updating us on his progress. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs their cat boarded. Thanks again Julie and Jacob. Nic and Leo 🐈

We cannot recommend Pampered Floof highly enough. Our cat Peggy is over 15 years old and has diabetes, so her care is a bit more complex with twice daily insulin injections and close monitoring. She has stayed with Julie a couple of times now and the level of care and attention has been outstanding. Julie is fantastic to deal with, very calm and knowledgeable, and communicates clearly around pick up and drop off times so everything is easy and stress free. We always felt confident that Peggy was in safe hands, and the pricing is very reasonable given the care involved. Huge thanks to Julie for looking after our old girl so well.

Whenever I go overseas, I entrust my cat Max to Julie. We have been using her cat boarding service since October 2023, and Max is always very relaxed when we pick him up, which gives us great peace of mind. I still remember the first time I sent Max to Julie. As a first-time cat owner, I was quite anxious and often ended up getting bitten or scratched. Julie patiently explained cat temperament to me and guided me on how to handle situations when Max tried to bite or scratch. Her advice was incredibly helpful. On another occasion, while I was overseas, Julie contacted me...

Whenever I go overseas, I entrust my cat Max to Julie. We have been using her cat boarding service since October 2023, and Max is always very relaxed when we pick him up, which gives us great peace of mind. I still remember the first time I sent Max to Julie. As a first-time cat owner, I was quite anxious and often ended up getting bitten or scratched. Julie patiently explained cat temperament to me and guided me on how to handle situations when Max tried to bite or scratch. Her advice was incredibly helpful. On another occasion, while I was overseas, Julie contacted me to let me know that Max had developed an abscess on his head. She promptly took him to see a vet and cared for him attentively. I was extremely grateful for her quick action and dedication. I feel completely comfortable leaving Max in the care of Julie and her wonderful assistant, Jacob. It’s clear that they genuinely adore him. I have tried cat boarding at another veterinary clinic before, but ultimately I still believe Pampered Floof is the best place for Max. Julie and Jacob truly love and care for the animals, and it really shows!
