Dogwoods Country Kennels

A great place to leave your dogs is a reputable dog boarding facility or a trusted pet sitter who provides regular updates with real-time photos of your furry friend. Seeing your dog's happiness through genuine pictures can ease your mind while you're away.

I could not be happier with Dogwoods. From a human perspective - Robin and Kirk are quick to communicate, they’re organised, thoughtful and punctual. From observing our dog Charlie - she jumps into Kirk’s dog mobile readily, she looks very happy in FB photos and she returns home, exhausted and better behaved after each visit. It’s already home away from home for our Portuguese Water Dog.

I can’t believe that Robin and Kirk don’t have more reviews here for how good they are! Dogwoods is awesome - we’ve sent our pup here twice already and he has come back healthy, happy and more confident each time. If you’re within driving or pickup distance I wouldn’t look at any other place to give your pup their own vacation while you’re away.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE Dogwoods!
I recently left my French Bulldog Louie with them for 3 weeks whilst I was overseas & he had the time of his life 💕 he came home so happy and exhausted.

The care, love and companionship the team show the dogs is next level , the dogs are never alone , always fully supervised then at night they have a bunk buddy; the property they get roam is gorgeous.
Daily photos to show all the fun they get up to roaming free & even swimming in the dam.

This was the longest I’d ever left Louie & I had a thoroughly great trip knowing he was safe and well cared for .

I 100% recommend & will be using their services again!

Thanks so much team

Wow! Very knowledgeable owners that will take good care of your dog, should it be long term or short term. It was recommended by a friend who has used the place numerous times. The place is doggy heaven, they get to play in packs for there size in a beautiful open space. This is a really special place at a very competitive price. I can understand the repeat visits. Worth visiting to get a feel for the place Robin and Kurt are warm welcoming people.

This is a 5 star resort for your pup! This is truly the best dog boarding experience there is for your dog! We boarded our GSP here and she had the best time and was really well taken care of.

Kirk and Robin are very kind relaxed people who really care about your dog and it’s wellbeing - it really shows throughout the entire process. Expect your dog to come back happy and healthy! Also love the Facebook photo posts for updates!

Our doberman has just come home from a week with Robin and Kirk, and we can see that she has had a great time! We loved the wide open grassy fields where she was able to spend the majority of the day, playing and socialising with dogs of similar size. (Smaller dogs have their own area). The kennel is clean, well maintained and Robin and Kirk are responsive, kind and caring people. I would definitely recommend this kennel to dog owners who value off leash play. We also really appreciated the daily Facebook photos featuring our dog and her new friends. It was an easy drive for us from Sydney's north shore to drop her off and pick her up. Very reasonable daily rate. Highly recommend.

I can't believe I haven't written a review for this amazing place already. My dog has been staying with Kim & Sandy when we've been on holidays for the last 3 - 4 years - probably 10+ stays by now. It's wonderful to see how excited my dog is to see Kim and she's eager to hop into the car or dog trailer for her holiday! I've never had any problems with her condition when she returns home - no infected paws or lost weight like we've experenced at other facilities. The facebook page with the latest photos is a great way for us to see how happy our dog is while we're away. Thank you!!

The Dogs are Soo Happy as they able to run free but ALWAYS with supervision.

Very well cared for

Everything is clean fresh bed and blankets

The owners and staff sincerely care for all the dogs as there own

Brilliant place and one of a kind

5 Star ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ excellence

My German shepherd came back very tired after staying for 3 nights. She had lots of fun running and swimming all day. I love that they post daily updates on Facebook. Lovely owners that care about your pet.

We just picked up Miyagi and Ralph (schnauzers) after a week long stay and they are pooped! This is an amazing place to send your dogs when you go away. The dogs spend their days in a pack (small or big) and get to play in the dam so it's a holiday for them too. Kim is incredibly trustworthy and caring, and uploads photos onto Facebook daily so you can check how your dogs are settling in. She has a great manner with the dogs and immediately puts them at ease. They also come back from their stay incredibly well trained! Definitely 5 stars, can't recommend them highly enough. Best to book in early - especially during school holiday periods.

We have used Dogwoods many times now and our dog Raffi has loved it. The owners Kim and Sandy are extemely caring and professional. Its always reassuring to know our dog has a great time there and is very well cared for.

I have left my Cavoodle dog her name is butterscotch at the Dogwoods country Kennels a few times. Kim and Sandy take good care off her and. they Friendly and kind to her.Butterscotch loves at the Kennels she comes home tried and happy Last time she went there she was hard to catch as she didn't want to leave. I like how Kim and Sandy take photos of her and put them or facebook and in every photo Butterscotch is enjoying her stay and I enjoy my holiday better knowing she happy and getting well looked after

The absolute best for any much loved doggie, big or small. The dogs are free to play all day long, or to rest under shady tres, or swim in the Dam. Sandy and Kim’s presence all day long gives the dogs the assurance that their human protectors are always near. Thank you for providing such a wonder home from home yet magnificent holiday experience, with total safety and care for our pets (our children)

Felix (our mini groodle) has been holidaying at Dogwood regularly for the last 6 years. No matter how long our holiday we are always happy that Felix is safe and having loads of fun. Kim and Sandy have become surrogate parents and Felix is always fit and well on our return.....in fact he often spends the first few days snoozing!! We wouldn’t be happy with anywhere else for our dog to stay. We would recommend Dogwood whole heartedly. Al (Eastern Suburbs)

Unique dog care. The ONLY place we leave our dogs especially for longer term. Dogs are pack animals and we love the "pack therapy" approach.

BEST dog retreat heaven for our fur babies - they cannot get enough of Dogwoods and always come back refreshed, happy & relaxed. They are besotted with Kim and love her to bits. Cannot recommend Dogwoods highly enough. Thank you Kim & Sandy.

We have a stressy sort of dog. He isn't always easy and tends to not love 'pack' dynamics. Yet Kim and Sandy looked after him so well and took it all in there stride. We had a great holiday knowing he was happy and being so thoughtfully cared for. Their regular updates on facebook were reasuring and very amusing. Thanks again Dogwoods!

I've had my 2 dogs stay at dogwood on 3 occasions and have always come home to happy tired dogs. Much better than the boarding kennels I had used previously. Keep up the good work!

Brilliant for dogs. Our Oscar comes home very happy and healthy. Labradoodles thrive on full time play. This Christmas will be our fourth year.
