Easy, we have our Waggin’ Good Time shuttle service so we can come to you. See our shuttle charges here. Alternatively, you can request an afternoon check-in from 3pm to 5pm Sunday to Friday. This incurs a half-day surcharge. Please contact us to make arrangements.

Yes, this can be arranged however a half-day surcharge will apply. This needs to be organised at the time of booking or check-in. Alternatively, we could drop your pet home in the Waggin’ Good Time van. See charges here.

Will my pet be socialised?

My dog is extremely active, will they receive enough exercise?

Yes. We have three acres of grassed exercise yards, agility equipment and they will easily find a new friend to play with. However, you can book your dog in for a Bushwalk or Farm Excursion. This is a personalised service with an additional charge.

My dog is spoilt, will they be alright once I leave?

We spend extra quality time with first-time guests to ensure they feel comfortable. Usually, within 12-24 hours, they will be part of the family. We find once you drop them off and your dog sees and hears other dogs their tail is wagging madly and they can’t wait to meet some new friends.

Can I bring my dog along for an inspection?

Yes. You are welcome to inspect our property and kennels by making an appointment. Dog needs to be registered in our kennel booker. Plus dog must be vaccinated and waiver signed.

Are some dogs physically tired after boarding? Why?

Yes, dogs do get tired and they will most probably exercise more here than at home. For this reason, we do have a siesta time from 11am to 2pm daily. Many dogs get bored and sleep a lot at home, but we will have them out for most of the day in one of our many exercise yards, so they have lots of socialisation and stimulation. Once home dogs generally bounce back once they have caught up on their sleep and rest. This can take 2-3 days.

We have two dedicated playtimes morning and afternoon where your pet will be outside playing. This is when we clean and disinfect the kennels, provide fresh beds and clean the whole facility. Yes, it’s like just resort accommodation.
