I am absolutely delighted to share my overwhelmingly positive experience boarding my beloved cat at Australian Pet Boarding in Kempsey. From start to finish, it was a remarkable journey that left me thoroughly impressed and deeply grateful. …

Australian Pet Boarding

Thankyou.

I agree our cattery is second to none.

Huge indoor outdoor facility.

Chris Chisholm

Have taken our large dog, Oslo in twice now (a week’s stay each time) and have loved the service. Oslo, a wolfhound, had a great time and was grouped with other large, energetic dogs so he could play safely. We loved seeing the videos of him playing with other dogs on the Facebook Page. Mark and the team are easy to communicate with and are obviously caring and professional with the pets. Next year we’ll be taking Oslo back and will take advantage of the training, bush walks and dam swims which are amazing added services.

Australian Pet Boarding

Chris thankyou for your 5 star review of Australian Pet boarding. We all enjoy Oslo and his fun personality.

Suzanne Allen

The boarding kennels are clean and the staff are obviously committed to caring for the pets. They ensure they get plenty of exercise and are returned well groomed. Special diets are also maintained (our dog requires a low fat diet).

Australian Pet Boarding

Thankyou Suzanne
We look forward to caring for Gigi and Tinkerbell again soon.

Richard Field

Mark and his team were excellent. We were very grateful for how well they looked after our dog.

We couldn’t rate Australian Pet Boarding highly enough, we have now taken our dogs a couple times and will continue to do so! They are so well cared for there. Dolly and Mark have been great, any question we have had they have answered and we love the daily videos posted on their Facebook also.

Australian Pet Boarding

Thankyou Tahlia.

Donna Widdison

Mark and the team accommodated our cat at short notice just before Christmas and I couldn’t be more happy with the professional service we received. Special dietary needs I supplied was not a problem and the book in and pick up at the excellent facilities was very easy indeed. Highly recommend them and will definitely use again for my needs.

We’ll definitely be returning – highly recommend for anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet boarding service!

Nathan Mills

I can’t recommend this place enough! I had my dog trained here and boarded twice, and the results have been outstanding. The training was effective, and my dog is now so well-behaved.

The team, led by Mark, is professional, caring, and clearly passionate about what they do. They took excellent care of my dog during boarding, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands.
Thank you, Mark and the entire team, for your incredible work! I’ll definitely be coming back. 🐾

Australian Pet Boarding

Hi Nathan.
Thankyou from myself and the team. We hope to see you and Rex again soon.

Mark.

Samantha Nicolaidis

Mark and the team have really changed our pups life. He went from being such a scared and anxious rescue who was afraid of other dogs and people and so hard to walk on the leash, to a happy, confident and obedient dog. We tried other trainers who just didn’t even come close to the level of training, support and love they have for dogs. We had a great and very detailed handover with instructions, and feel very prepared for the coming days as he settles back into home. We can’t thank Mark and his team enough for everything.

Australian Pet Boarding

Thankyou Samantha.
We all enjoyed training and working with Hunter even we are thrilled at his progress.
I hope you and your family enjoy your time with Hunter.
Thanks
Mark..

Elena Urrutia

If we could give more stars for Mark and his team we would!! We left our 11 month Toy poodle for 2 week training and we have been shocked! And we have been complimented by her groomer at how different she is, and very confident and calm to deal with!. She was very reactive and wouldn’t let strangers go near her but in the first week back having her she’s been very positive interacting with others and more loving to strangers! Thanks so much! We feel so happy to finally find a welcoming and professional boarding for our fur babies!.

Australian Pet Boarding

Thankyou Elena.
We are so happy that little Gabby has come out of her shell and no longer scared of life.
We look forward to seeing Gabby at xmas.

Bonnie Johnson

Mark and the team at Australian Pet Boarding are my absolute favorite.

Whenever I need to put my Boof into boarding I drive the 1.5 hours away (often in the opposite direction) to take him here because I know he is well looked after.
I love watching the dogs play on Facebook and knowing that Boof is having the time of his life.

Australian Pet Boarding

I agree Booth loves Australian Pet Boarding and he agrees its worth the drive.

Rosie loves it APB & clearly responded very positively to Mark . After training with Mark she is now so much calmer, greets people without jumping on them & walks beautifully on lead. The training session I had with Mark was fun & very informative. Now it’s my turn to keep it up! Thank you Mark.

Thank You From all the team at Australian Pet Boarding. Rosie is a fantastic little dog that is always willing to please.

Mark and the staff here are great, our border Collie was there for 10 days for boarding and also had some training. The difference in our girl was amazing, on pick up, Mark runs through everything with you so you can continue at home. Would highly recommend the facility and Mark and his staff, they treat the dogs like they are their own.
