Secure Dog Boarding Kennels

Where we love your dogs as much as you do

We have two dog boarding kennels in Brisbane (QLD), one in Perth (WA) and one in Darwin (NT). Our two QLD locations are the Brisbane West facility in Kholo and the Brisbane South facility in Ellen Grove, while our WA location is in Treeby and our NT location is in Bees Creek.

Our expert staff at these locations meet you with warmth and professionalism, always curious to learn more about your dogs. Your dogs will love coming here and will leave as happy pups.

Purpose-Built

Our dog boarding kennels have spacious runs and play areas. The retreats give your dogs the room to run, play and relax. With our secure play yards and spacious outdoor areas, your dog can exercise safely and happily.

Experienced Dog Carers

Our teams are compassionate and caring experts who treat your dog like a part of the family. We are passionate and highly trained dog lovers and watch over your dogs 24/7. All dogs receive personal attention, affection and enrichment.

Care for Every Dog

Every dog gets personalised care to suit their needs, no matter their size or breed. From excitable pups to more senior dog citizens, we tailor care routines to suit each unique pet. We only house dogs of similar size and temperament together.
