Need someone to care for your fur family member while you are away? Boarding is available at our Devonport, Burnie and Launceston Dogs’ Homes. 

All our staff are experienced in dog care and we have vet nurses on staff so you can be assured that your furry family member will be well cared for. The kennels are comfortable and your dog will have time in an exercise yard with toys each day they stay with us. Our staff will provide enrichment activities for your pooch including stuffed kongs and ice treats on warmer days.

What do you need?

Your dog needs to have a current vaccination, be microchipped and wormed and other medications up to date. When dropping your dog in to our Home, please bring evidence of vaccinations, contact details of your Vet and any medication your dog requires whilst in our care.

You will need to complete a boarding contract so please allow plenty of time for drop off.
