"I cannot recommend a higher quality service, honestly fantastic experience. We dropped out Ridgeback off recently and he was in for 7 weeks. The pet nannies and entire team were fantastic to Maverick. They cared very well for him, they gave him routine and lots of hugs and zoomie runs and throughout the holiday we received updates that put my worried dog mumma mind to rest. If you are looking for high quality care, clean kennels and friendly/professional/caring staff this is the place. Thank you Tahlia and her entire team you are amazing and we appreciate everything you did for Maverick."

"Our Husky spent 3 days at Pet Resorts Australia, in High Range. Cooper was collected from our home on the morning of his first day, which was extremely helpful. He was well looked after and thoroughly enjoyed the wide open space and attention from staff members. Cooper received a bath on his final day and was calm and relaxed after his lovely retreat at High Range. When we picked him up, it was evident that the level of care and professionalism sets Pet Resorts Southern Highlands apart from other organisations. Cooper was reluctant to leave and we had peace of mind knowing that our Husky was safe and well looked after in a beautiful country environment. I definitely recommend Pet Resort Australia for pet stays in the Southern Highlands and will be returning my dogs to this resort in future."

"We recently left our dog Bear at Pet Resorts Australia Southern Highlands for the first time and couldn’t be happier with the experience. The whole process was so easy from start to finish, and every staff member we dealt with was friendly, welcoming and really seemed to care. Bear came home happy, relaxed and well looked after, which is the best reassurance you can ask for. We also loved the thoughtful extras, especially the digital check ins during his stay and the little pet report card at pick up. We wouldn’t hesitate to leave Bear here again and would happily recommend Pet Resorts Australia Southern Highlands to anyone looking for a caring and professional place for their pets."

"It was our first time leaving our rescue dog anywhere and we were nervous, (but we didn’t need to be) as Millie had the best time!! She came back so happy, well looked after, and the communication from the staff throughout her stay was great. An added bonus was we got to see her on social media, and seeing Millie doing her zoomies made us so happy. Thank you for looking after our girl so well and she’ll definitely be back ☺️"

"The ladies & team @ PR SH are awesome! Our dogs Linc & Rain are always excited to go back. We have no doubt that our dogs are well taken care of on their stay. It’s always great to see their Insta updates & pet postcards. Our dogs always come back washed & smelling fresh. We’re always stoked with the level of service. Highly recommend!!"
