Individual Attention to Your Pet
Our priority is that your pets are well cared for, happy and enjoy their boarding experience.
They are treated like family, just how they should be & we often see dogs dragging
their owners through the gate in excitement of their arrival.

We, as animal lovers, have lots of great ideas to constantly improve our services here at Homebush Boarding Kennels & Cattery. We want your pet to feel at home & enjoy their stay amongst fellow furry friends. As a family run business operated 364 days a year, 7 days a week, morning and night with supervision on site 24 hours a day, we can provide a second to none boarding facility where your pets will never be left alone. Kris's family home is on site and several checks are done throughout the kennels during the night to be sure that your pet is settled in & happy. During winter months, dogs are provided with doggie coats and warm bedding for maximum comfort. Pets with medical conditions such as diabetes and epilepsy, or elderly pets who need that little extra TLC, are catered for.
Testimonials from our Happy Customers
"Snatch & Darkshya Spencer" ~
Stress free Home away from Home
We boarded our pets, 2 dogs and 4 cats at Homebush Boarding Kennels for a period of one week while we travelled away. We found Kris. Ken & their family to be very caring & of genuine concern for the wellbeing of our furry family members. Definitely made enjoying our holiday easier without the stress of wondering if they were alright. When we returned they were still happy to see us for sure - but a sneek peek showed us that they certainly weren't fretting for us, they were relaxed and comfortable there and enjoyed their exercise time.
The cats were comfortably accommodated in the cattery together in their family group, and our 2 dogs were housed together enjoying the relaxation on their doggy beds.
We'd have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Homebush Boarding Kennels & Cattery, to anyone who needs to leave their pets for any period of time. Next time we'll be leaving our birds and guinea pigs too! Thanks for your genuine care, Kris & Ken.

"Boofy & Lulu Baldwin" ~
Security in knowing medications are administered by a professional
Our dogs Boofy & Lulu regularly stay with Krissy at the kennels and are always well looked after.
I was at first concerned that they would fret for us as they are house dogs, who sleep in my room & are my constant loyal companions, but Kris makes sure that she gives them extra attention & they now really enjoy going there for the socialising, as much as we enjoy being able to have a few days away without the worry about my best friends. They've always been hydrobathed when we return & we rest assured that Boofy, who has epilepsy will be given his medication as required. Lulu gets a skin condition and it's usually healed by the time I get back as Kris baths her several times a week in a special coal tar shampoo which is great. Krissy has even been known to send us a photo of them having a good time, by text message to put our mind at ease that they're doing fine.
Definitely a personalised service you just wouldn't get anywhere else.

"Peppi Thomas ~
Loves his "Spoilt Rotten treatment"
Kris, at Homebush Kennels looks after our poodle "Peppi", whenever we go on holidays!
He is spoilt rotten while in her care, is treated like one of her own,
AND she gives him a nice bath which has him smelling ever so nice
for when we pick him up!
I highly recommend Homebush Kennels and wouldn't consider leaving Peppi
or any of our other pets anywhere else when we next go on holidays!
THANK YOU KRIS!

He goes for walks and even has hydrobaths, it's like a hotel for dogs.

Rocco Burrows ~
Busy time playing with all his new friends
My little mate had his first away from home just recently.
He loves the water, on our return he had to have a bath before you let him go, as he was in the mud playing.
We got him home and he went straight to bed. He must have had a busy 3 days playing with all his new friends.
I wish he could talk so that he can tell us what he got up to.

Eartha, doesn't really like being out of her element,
so loves to share with her best friend, and enjoy the views from her pen
of the Mediteranian style cattery which help make her feel more at ease and at home.
Being an old girl, Eartha has some special care requirements, but this is no problem at HBK!

Fluffy is very much a homebody, so loves the use of Australian Bush Flower Essences to keep her from
stress while she's away from her family. Fluffy likes to be housed with her companions, so she doesn't feel lonely.

Frank just loves, anybody & everybody, so enjoys the social aspect of new smells and
new faces while he's staying with "Aunty Krissy", so he usually requests a window room.
He thinks the food's pretty good too.
