What Our Customers Say
"The Yarra Valley Pet Resort team were amazing in their care of our furbabies. We used both their boarding and wedding chaperone service and couldn’t recommend them more. The team were super communicative in the lead-up to the big day and took the time to ask for all the right details, which gave us so much confidence. They were also incredibly warm and friendly and handled our overactive, anxious pups with such care and kindness. Our pups arrived at the wedding beautifully groomed and dressed in their wedding outfits, which absolutely made our day. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands and are so grateful to the team for taking such wonderful care of them."

"Yarra valley has taken care of our dogs Akira and Manny like their own and diligently posted photos of playtime and their health parameters on the pet portal and also very patiently answered our daily calls to them! Their regular updates and the fact that they weigh pets every alternate day gives me great confidence that they're being well taken care of. Our pups also came back smelling great and feeling soft after a bath just the day before we had to pick them up. They always come back happy and looking healthy from yarra valley pet resort"

"Precious cats first experience (due to last minute travel plans) was wonderful. She had the best time and came home less anxious than her previous place. Everyone was soo warm and loved taking care of her. The daily affection/ playtime was worth including in the boarding services. Would totally recommend YVPR for your pets stay."
