"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…"

"Our dachshund stayed at Samford Pet Resort for two weeks and we were very happy with the experience. The facilities were spotless, and he was well cared for. Communication throughout his stay was prompt, friendly and informative, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Highly recommend Samford Pet Resort."

"Loki and Harvey are always calm and relaxed when we pick them up. They eagerly go with the carers when we arrive, without even a look back…. which certainly tells me they are happy to be there. Excellent service and great care with happy calm pets after a stay at Samford Pet Resort. Thankyou😃"
