DOLITTLES’ KENNEL

Our Dog Retreat

Dogs are cherished members of the family and we treat them as such. More than just dog kennels, we’re a dog retreat. 

We keep your pup happy and healthy with daily walks, dedicated playtime, grooming, nourishing Super Premium Royal Canin meals, and any additional care your pup may need, like medications, grooming, or a specific dietary plan.

Whether your pup prefers lazing in the sun or playing tag with their mates, we provide each dog their ultimate pet retreat experience.

Dog Kennel Accommodations

We offer a diverse range of dog kennels to suit a diverse range of dogs!

Our list of kennels include communal kennels for social dogs, private kennels for dogs that prefer their peace and quiet, and luxury dog kennels for pampered pooches.

Each kennel features enclosed indoor-outdoor areas, allowing dogs to enjoy the sunshine during the day and have a safe, raised, indoor bed to sleep in at night – toys included!

Transparent Dog Kennel Costs

We offer dog kennel price options to accommodate various budgets.

Whether you’re looking for a cheap dog kennel near you or prefer to invest a bit more to give your pup the best, we have a range of choices to cater to your needs. Rest assured that we love and look after each and every dog, no matter your budget.

Our dog kennel costs are from $36 per day during off-peak periods. During peak periods, like Christmas, Easter and public holidays, dog kennel costs have special pricing as these are the busiest times of year for pet accommodation. Rates depend on the number of dogs you want to house and whether they’re social. For extended stays, dog kennel prices per day are reduced.

Dolittles Dog Kennel Retreats

Dog kennel stays should be a retreat, not a punishment while the family’s away. We want all of our puppies, dogs, and senior canines to enjoy their stay while boarding with us. That’s why we tailor our services to meet their needs and personalities.

Whether your dog’s dream day is to run laps on the grass, play games with their friends, or just rest in a nice, private room, we’re happy to accommodate. All of our staff are pup parents themselves and trained in reading canine body language. We know what it takes to keep a dog happy, healthy, and engaged, and we go above and beyond to make sure every pup in our care has a good day.

Jeanette Napper

Our dog Regie has been holidaying at Dolittles Ellen Grove for a few years now and we have always been very happy with everything. They staff are friendly and willing to always help with enquiries. Regie has over the years had short and long stays here and have also recommended Dolittles to friends who also have been happy to leave their fur babies there. I love that the staff share photos of our beloved pets on their Facebook page so we can see what they are up to while we are away.
