A well-run establishment
With a staff that genuinely cares and is committed to a positive experience for its furry guests and their owners. They have exceeded my expectations, and I am incredibly grateful for the peace of mind resulting in a worry-free holiday. My fur baby returned home happy, healthy, and thriving, which is a testament to the exceptional care she received.

Highly recommend!
First time leaving our dog for 5 weeks so we spent so much time looking for the best place to leave her and Yarrambat Kennels and Cattery did not disappoint. Alma was very well taken care of. It felt like she did not want to leave when we picked her up! She came back to us looking healthier and happier than ever! Thank you, Reini and Erin!

Amazing
If I could give Yarrambat Kennels 6 stars, I would. The team at Yarrambat were so caring and accommodating to my circumstances. It was the first time my dogs Ellie and Archie have been to a kennel and I could just tell that they had a great time and were so well cared for. I highly recommend and will definitely use Yarrambat Kennels again. Thanks again to the team there. Truly appreciate what you offer.

Amazing
If I could give Yarrambat Kennels 6 stars, I would. The team at Yarrambat Kennels & Cattery were amazing – they went over and above to care for our cat Misty. She was in a beautiful clean room with a window view and was clearly very happy when we collected her. It was our first experience leaving Misty at a Cattery and we would not hesitate to book her into Yarrambat Kennels & Cattery again. Thanks so much!

Incredible
The team at Yarrambat Kennels & Cattery looked after my Monty while we were moving and they were incredible! Monty had the best time and it gave our family complete peace of mind knowing he was being looked after. Thank you so much to the team, I know Monty can’t wait to come back.
