"We've had our cattle dog, stay at Samford Pet Resort for a few years whenever we've travelled away. I love that the team understands his personality and matches him with other dogs of a similar temperament. We also appreciate the end-of-stay report cards, which reassure us that he's happy, content, and being well cared for. I've also found the team to be patient, understanding, and genuinely attentive to each pet's individual needs. There is real comfort in knowing your dog is happy when you drop them off and just as happy when you pick them up. We've even booked our two cats in for our next trip. While the cost may be higher than some alternatives, the professionalism, reliability, and peace of mind make it well worth it. 🐾"

"My cat loves it here, he has stayed multiple times. Often doesn’t want to leave. Feel much better as a pet owner knowing they are well looked after! Wouldn’t go anywhere else. They also take great photos…"

"First time I’ve used boarding for my dogs and was very nervous. The team at Samford were understanding and supportive to me and my dogs were happy and thriving while I was away. The love my pets had for the team was evident when I arrived to pick them up after the stay. Thank you so much 🐶🐶"

"I was a bit anxious leaving Banjo at Samford Pet Resort as he is a rescue dog, and we have been working on his reactivity and separation anxiety. However, he had an amazing time! The team were so kind and responsive, and I really appreciated being able to check in during his stay. The feedback report was lovely, and it was clear he made friends, got plenty of exercise, and absolutely adored his nanny. I felt so reassured and will definitely be sending him again. Highly recommended!"
