"Archie stayed at Welcome Kennels for 3 weeks while we were overseas and during his stay he was a very happy boy playing with new friends and staff. We were kept up to date with informative & fun emails. The staff were very attentive as well with Archie's wellbeing notifying me of when he lost a wee bit of weight in his first week - which he needed to actually :) As far as 'constructive feedback' I did feel rather disappointed that I was having to pay an extra $5.50 per day for Archie to be fed the food which I supplied, all separately bagged for each day. I will definitely consider Welcome Kennels for any future stays Archie may require. Thank you to the lovely caring staff and all the very best for 2026."

"Our 14 Yr Old Cairn Terrier Albert just spent the last month at Welcome Kennels while we were away. We are very appreciative of the care and attention given to him as an aged dog. They commented on his weight fluctuation since last visit, and sent him home clean and happy with a report card stating he’d interacted well with the other dogs. Thankyou Welcome Kennels."

"We left our ‘Tiger’ with Welcome Kennels this past Christmas and they were very good looking after him. They let me know about his haphazard eating which I really appreciated. I would have no hesitation in booking him in with them again. Many thanks to all the staff there."

"Recently had my beautiful 8 yr old Boxer boy at Welcome Kennels. First time leaving him at any kennel facility. Staff were very caring and concerned when as he was quite anxious. Welcome Kennels kept me up to date and offered to try almost anything to get him to feel comfortable and to eat - which he eventually did :-) Thank you so much to everyone who was involved in his care."

"I have used many kennels across many cities and countries but Welcome Boarding Kennels are hands-down the best of them all! Fantastic staff and facilities, my dog absolutely loves going there and often objects to leaving :). Thank you to Megan and the other lovely people who make Odie feel so wonderfully welcome!"
