Pet Boarding in Brisbane FAQs

How much does pet boarding cost?

The cost of pet boarding varies based on the time of year, type of kennel, the number of dogs, whether they’re social, and the level of service. During off-peak periods, the price per day for dog boarding is typically $36. During peak periods, like Christmas, prices increase to around $85 for a non-shared room.

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 Brisbane before boarding my pet?

Absolutely! We encourage pet parents to visit our Brisbane retreats to meet our carers and view our facilities before booking.
