Australian Pet Boarding

Australian Pet Boarding provided our dog with the best care while we were able to travel! Each evening we would see if she made it to the facebook post that day! Outstanding staff, wonderful clean facility and the happiest girl when we picked her up! I would recommend the hydrobath for bigger dogs like mine, it was one less thing to do when we got home! We look forward to seeing you next holidays.

Highly recommend Australian Pet Boarding. This was the first time we had used a boarding kennel, and the whole process was so easy. Our dog Juno has since boarded twice here and also completed the 3 week training package with amazing results! Every staff member I have interacted with is obviously a huge animal lover, and has been so friendly and helpful. I am confident Juno is safe, being cared for and having a fun time with all the other dogs. We will continue to board our pets here and I know Juno can't wait until her next visit.

Very friendly, caring and knowledgeable staff, with a great layout for the dogs to be safe but also play. Lola is so much better behaved now after her training. Lola used to be very assertive and aggressive, she wouldn’t listen at all. Now she listens to my commands, she doesn’t get aggressIve and is calm.

My girl Millie came here for 4 weeks of obedience training and she is so different in all the good kind of ways. Millie is a sweet dog but was reactive and didnt listen, often being assertive and dominating. I couldnt believe my eyes when i actually saw her stay and not move! I feel like i can really enjoy the relationship with my dog now and not feel frustrated and stressed from the damage and not listening. Thank you so much Mark and your team and every trainer that was patient and taught Millie how to be her best self. She will live such a good life.

My experience with the dog training program at Australian Pet Boarding in Kempsey has been absolutely outstanding, and I'm thrilled to share my positive review.

From the very first interaction, it was evident that the trainers at Australian Pet Boarding are not only skilled professionals but also deeply committed to fostering positive relationships between dogs and their owners. The training sessions were conducted in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, making both dogs and owners feel at ease.

What truly impressed me was the trainers' adaptability. They tailored the training approach to suit my dog's unique personality and learning style. This personalized touch ensured that my dog was engaged and motivated throughout the training process, resulting in faster and more effective learning.

The positive reinforcement techniques used in the training were nothing short of transformative. Instead of focusing solely on correcting unwanted behaviors, the trainers emphasized rewarding and reinforcing positive actions. This approach not only built my dog's confidence but also deepened our bond.

The progress I witnessed in my dog's behavior was remarkable. From basic commands to more advanced skills, each session brought new achievements. The trainers also provided me with clear instructions on how to continue practicing and maintaining the training at home, which was immensely valuable.

The training facilities were top-notch, providing a safe and controlled environment for learning. The trainers ensured that each session was both stimulating and enjoyable for the dogs, which greatly contributed to the overall success of the training program.

In conclusion, Australian Pet Boarding's dog training program exceeded my expectations in every way. The trainers' expertise, dedication, and unwavering passion for dogs truly shine through. If you're seeking a training program that not only produces results but also enriches the bond between you and your furry friend, I wholeheartedly recommend Australian Pet Boarding.

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.

Upon entering the facility, I was immediately struck by the warmth of the staff and the meticulous attention to detail in every aspect of the boarding process. The cleanliness and organization of the premises provided me with a sense of comfort, knowing that my cat would be in a safe and hygienic environment.

The staff's genuine love for animals was evident in the way they interacted with my cat. They took the time to understand her temperament, preferences, and any special needs she might have had. This personalized approach set my mind at ease, knowing that my furry companion was in caring and capable hands.

The accommodations provided for my cat were nothing short of exceptional. The spacious and comfortable enclosure was equipped with all the necessary amenities, ensuring that she had a cozy and stress-free stay. The daily updates, complete with photos and videos of my cat's activities, were an absolute treat and made me feel connected to her even though we were apart.

One of the standout aspects of Australian Pet Boarding was the range of enriching activities offered to the cats. From playtime with interactive toys to supervised socialization sessions, I could tell that my cat was not only being cared for but also having a genuinely enjoyable time.

Communication was smooth and transparent throughout my cat's stay. The staff promptly responded to any questions I had and were always eager to provide updates on my cat's well-being. This level of responsiveness and dedication truly set Australian Pet Boarding apart.

When I picked up my cat after her stay, I could see that she had been well looked after and had even formed a bond with the staff. She was content and relaxed, which reassured me that her time at the boarding facility had been nothing short of exceptional.

In conclusion, my experience with Australian Pet Boarding in Kempsey was beyond my expectations. The staff's genuine care, the pristine facilities, the engaging activities, and the personalized attention all contributed to a seamless and positive boarding experience for my cat. I wholeheartedly recommend Australian Pet Boarding to any cat owner seeking a top-tier boarding facility where their feline companion will be treated with love, care, and the utmost respect.

We are really happy. Our two golden retrievers are relaxed, well trained, happy and obedient. Thank you Mark and the whole team at Australian Pet Boarding.

We had another family catch-up weekend down in Sydney and Findel came to APB in Kempsey. No fuss no bother. Easy and friendly drop off and pickup. Findel is always happy and well kept during her stays here and we will continue leaving her with Mark and his team. Findel was trained by Mark when Findel was 14 weeks and will be coming back now at 19 months for a little follow up training. Keep up the great work.

The owner Mark seemed nice at first but after my experience this morning I would give him a no star rating if I could. He snapped at one of his employees while we were dropping off our dogs and after poking me in the back told her we look after dogs here not people, stop talking and put those dogs in the kennels. There was no one else waiting behind us to check in there dogs and our conversation was almost at an end. If we had time to get our dogs into another boarding kennel like Fur Hills for example, I would have put our dogs back in the car and left. But we a going away tomorrow. Next time we will plan our trip a long time in advance to make sure we can get our dogs in somewhere else.

We booked our dog Nova in for training with Mark & couldn’t be happier with the results. Nova is now amazing to walk on the lead, is less reactive to other animals/people when out on walks & is easy to correct/redirect. The property was beautiful with lots of other friendly animals for Nova to play with.
I would definitely recommend Mark’s training to anyone who needs help with their dog.

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.

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.

Mark had our 5 month old Labradoodle for two weeks and we couldn't believe the change when we picked her up! She was so calm and well behaved. It was amazing. He went through all the training and commands in detail, and we felt confident to continue his hard work once we took her home. Thanks Mark! Highly recommend.

Been using these Kennels for past 13 years for both my dogs & recently for my Kelpie, Abel. He loves the place, always happy to enter, staff are excellent & always comes home happy & clean after his bath.

We put our dog in for boarding and training with Mark for 2 weeks. He did an amazing job with him and gave us tips that we could use when we got home that were practical and effective. So glad we came across this place, worked wonders for Hunter.

Our doggo loves coming out to the guys at Australian Pet Boarding. Her tail starts to wag from the highway as we drive in! Its so easy to choose what type of care our dog needs on the website as we book her in too. 10/10

Saying thank you to Mark is not enough!
Our English Staffie, Charlie, whom is 18 months old pulling on leads, barked at anything that moved, could not socialise with other dogs all due to some bad experiences which we found our training was far to difficult for us
We needed help!
Now 3 long weeks with Mark and our boy is a completely different dog.
Such a joy to be with we now will have the joy going for walks and taking him off lead
With no concerns. We all as a family will enjoy Charlie so much more and be able to include him in our adventures.
Charlie boy will be a happier boy for it as well.
Again thank you thank you Mark from us and our Charlie Boy.
See you again as Charlie has found his holiday accommodation that he clearly loves ️

Our 2 Border Collies were looked after here over Christmas 21. The booking was last minute, communication was prompt nothing was a problem and we arranged for drop off outside of opening hours. We were travelling up the coast and the location was very easy to access and drop off/pick up the dogs. Mark was very kind and you can see that he is passionate about dogs with the many Facebook videos he takes and puts them online for us to see.
The grounds are really looked after. It’s nice dropping the dogs off to a nice place, it’s well cared for.
Thanks Mark and team for taking care of our 2 dogs, we will be back.

Hi Mark,

A big thank you to you and your team for looking after Frankie our Jack Russell - I picked him up this morning and he was so relaxed and calm not sure if he was really happy to see me as I think he was enjoying his holiday with you guys.

Cheers,

Paul & Gayle Dougherty

We had an amazing experience boarding our two Labradors at Australian Pet Boarding. The team are professional, reliable and accomodating. We were grateful to be shown some techniques on how to stop our male from pulling whilst walking on lead.
We will definitely be boarding again in the future!
