Professional Pet Boarding
Where we love your pets as much as you do
We have two pet boarding facilities in Brisbane, one in Perth and one in Darwin. 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 pets. Your pets will love coming here and will leave happy chappies.
Purpose-Built
Our pet boarding facilities have spacious runs and play areas. The pet retreats provide your pets with the space to run, play and relax. With our secure play yards and spacious outdoor areas, your pet can exercise safely and happily.

Our teams are compassionate and caring experts who treat your pet like a part of the family. We are passionate and highly trained pet lovers who watch over your pets 24/7. All pets receive personal attention, affection and enrichment.
Care for Every Pet
We provide personalised care for every pet, including dogs, cats, birds, guinea pigs, mice, rats, reptiles and more. From excitable pups and cuddly kittens to senior pet citizens, we tailor care routines to suit each species and temperament – even livestock!

Pet Boarding FAQs
How much does pet boarding cost?
The cost of pet boarding varies based on the time of year, type of accommodation, the number of pets, whether they’re social, and the level of service. During off-peak periods, daily pricing starts at $36 for dogs and $30 for cats. During peak periods, like Christmas, prices for pet boarding increase.
What should I pack for my pet’s stay?
We recommend packing your pet’s favourite bedding or toy, any special food or medications, and vaccination records.
How do you handle special diets or medications?
Our team is experienced in administering medication and following custom feeding instructions to ensure your pet’s routine is maintained.
Can I visit Dolittles before boarding my pet?
Absolutely! We encourage pet parents to visit our retreats to meet our carers and view our facilities before booking.
