What Our Customers Say
"The Yarra Valley Pet Resort team were amazing in their care of our furbabies. We used both their boarding and wedding chaperone service and couldn’t recommend them more. The team were super communicative in the lead-up to the big day and took the time to ask for all the right details, which gave us so much confidence. They were also incredibly warm and friendly and handled our overactive, anxious pups with such care and kindness. Our pups arrived at the wedding beautifully groomed and dressed in their wedding outfits, which absolutely made our day. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands and are so grateful to the team for taking such wonderful care of them."

"I could not recommend Yarra Valley Pet Resort enough! I met someone along the Warrandyte river who said there isn't anyone else they would trust their dog with. I can 100% confirm that and could not agree more. They have been a God send when Thaison has needed care. He has been going since he was a puppy. Andrea and her team are amazing and I can rest assured knowing he is in excellent hands and is well looked after and cared for. Thaison loves going to the resort and I get the feeling he does not want to leave sometimes. I have no doubt he has the best time there. The prices are excellent too. So grateful to the team for looking after my baby!"

"Our cat Milly was well looked after and was happy at YV Pet Resort. This was her third stay. She was glad to see us after 4 days at the resort of course. But she was well cared for and in excellent health. We have no hesitation in recommending YV Pet Resort."

"We've been using YVPR for over a year now, and have been very happy with them. Our girls are also happy to head in and happy exhausted end of day when we pick them up. The change of management has brought price increases and some changes in booking/check ins, but the quality of care has been exceptional. Most of the staff we deal with remained on and they always are excited to see our girls. They stayed over Xmas for five weeks and we were given updates, check ins when their weight changed, photos, and a party for Bee's birthday. We will continue to use YVPR for day care and boarding as we trust that our girls are cared and loved for away from us."

"Yarra valley has taken care of our dogs Akira and Manny like their own and diligently posted photos of playtime and their health parameters on the pet portal and also very patiently answered our daily calls to them! Their regular updates and the fact that they weigh pets every alternate day gives me great confidence that they're being well taken care of. Our pups also came back smelling great and feeling soft after a bath just the day before we had to pick them up. They always come back happy and looking healthy from yarra valley pet resort"
