What Our Customers Say
"Our dog, Phil, really enjoyed his 5 week stay. Whenever we drop him off at the resort he is happy and excited. When we picked him up he was well-rested, fresh and ready to go. Tahlia rang us up after a week to see how he was going. The special offer during July and August made us happy, too 😊 Good service, nice people 😊"

"We brought our groodle Kirby here for her first ever time at boarding, and were very happy with the care at Pet Resorts. The staff were incredible and got in touch when she was a bit anxious on her first day to check in. During her week stay we loved seeing the images of her on their Instagram - a bit of peace of mind and great to see our crazy girl having a fun time. Can tell the team really love animals, and we will absolutely be bringing Kirby here on our next holiday!"

"My Cavoodle Pepper just spent 4 weeks at the resort while we were overseas. He had the time of his life judging from the pet postcards. Lots of friends to play with and lots of ball games with his pet nannies. He has come back, rested, well fed and bathed. He has settled back home really well. Highly recommended for short and long stays 👍"

"As a devoted pet parent, finding a reliable and loving environment for my fur babies has always been a top priority. I had the opportunity to experience Pet Resort Southern Highlands, and I can’t say enough good things about it! From the moment we walked through the doors, I was greeted by warm and welcoming staff who clearly understand and love animals. The resort is impeccably clean and organized, giving me immediate peace of mind knowing my dog would be in a safe environment. They offer a variety of accommodations, from cozy individual suites to spacious play areas for socializing with other pets. One of the highlights of my experience was the personalized attention my boys received. Additionally, they offered daily updates, including photos , which reassured me that my dog was thriving during his stay. Pet Resort SH policy on group play is impressive; they assess the temperament of each pet to create a harmonious and enjoyable play environment. When it came time to pick up my boys, I was overjoyed to see how happy and relaxed they were It was evident that they had been well cared for and had made new friends during their stay. Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend Pet Resort Southern Highlands for pet owners seeking an enriching and reliable environment for their furry companions. With their attentive staff, clean facilities, and engaging activities, it’s clear that they prioritize the well-being and happiness of the pets in their care. I’ll definitely be returning, and I’m sure my boys are already looking forward to their next vacation at Pet Resort Southern Highlands!"

"Our kelpie/border cross has stayed at PRA several times and is always very excited to go into the kennels and comes home happy and healthy. We love the pet postcards so we can see her having fun while we are away - she’s booked in for another stay shortly. Highly recommended."

We require all dogs to be up-to-date with their vaccinations, including protection against common canine diseases, to ensure the health and safety of all our guests.
Absolutely! We’d love to welcome you for a tour of our facilities. Tours are available by appointment—simply contact the resort location you’d like to visit to book a time. This way, you can see where your dog will be staying and meet some of our wonderful staff.
We’re happy to administer medications to pets currently staying with us. All medications must be confirmed with our office staff prior to check-in. Please note that medication administration fees apply.
More information about medication requirements can be found in theBoarding Terms
We maintain a healthy staff-to-dog ratio to ensure each dog receives adequate supervision and care. The exact ratio varies depending on the number of dogs and their needs.
We provide nutritious and balanced meals, but you are welcome to bring your dog’s food, especially if they have specific dietary requirements. Please check the Boarding Terms for information on requirements for providing your dogs own food.
Dogs enjoy a variety of activities, including playtime in our spacious yards, socialisation with other dogs, and rest periods. We also offer enrichment activities for an extra charge.
Our Social rooms or packages (Executive and Presidential) are tailored towards friendly, well-socialised dogs who are happy sharing a spacious room with other dogs for the duration of their holiday with us, including overnight.
Please note, in some cases social boarding may not be suitable for your dog. Please read Does Private Accommodation Apply to My Dog? for more information.
We match all dogs in social accommodation with doggy friends of a similar age, size and temperament. All pets are monitored during the matching process by our trained staff who will ensure your dog is matched with their perfect new best friends for their holiday to enjoy play after play together.
If you’re unsure how your dog might go sharing space with other pups, we recommend starting with a short stay or a doggy daycare visit. This is a great way to see how your dog socialises and to make sure they feel comfortable in our environment.
If your dog is not so friendly with other dogs, or you’re just not comfortable having them sharing, we do have Private accommodation options available. These offer your dog their own private bedroom, outdoor recess breaks and enriched playtimes with our Pet Nannies.
Please let our Receptionists know of any existing behaviours that you are aware of at the time of your booking. This way we can assess and make arrangements to accommodate to suit your pet’s needs.
Private accommodation is available outside of school holiday periods for non-social dogs. Be sure to ask about our assessment days if you are not sure if your dog is social.
In the unlikely event that your dog attacks another dog and veterinary treatment needs to be sought, the owner of the attacking dog will be responsible for any veterinary service fees.
Pet Resorts Australia will not take any unnecessary risks with canine socialisation so we expect that owners will notify us of any behavioural issues they are aware of. Please make sure you have read all the Boarding Terms prior to booking.
At a few of our select resorts you can also speak with our on-site trainers who specialise in canine behaviour training programs.
If you have more specific questions or concerns, our friendly staff are always available to provide personalised answers and guidance. Feel free to reach out to us via phone, email, or in person at any of our locations. Please make sure you have read all the Boarding Terms prior to booking.
If your pet's stay includes a pet postcard, or you've purchased one as part of our additional guest services, you will receive an email notification to alert you when it is ready to view. For more instructions on pet postcards, please visit our Pet Postcard Guide
