The Best for Your Pet
Dog Boarding
We know it’s hard to leave your beloved companion behind — but when you need to, we’re here to give you peace of mind. Whether it’s their first boarding experience or they’re a seasoned regular, your dog’s comfort, safety, and well-being are always our top priorities.
As pet owners ourselves, we understand how stressful it can be to leave your dog in unfamiliar hands. That’s why at ADD+CT, every guest is treated like family — receiving the love, attention, and care they deserve.
We are a small, family-owned and operated business with years of experience providing high-quality dog boarding and personalised care. Our dedicated team ensures every dog’s individual needs are met, including:
- Nutritious meals
- Regular exercise and playtime
- Prescribed medications or supplements
- Cozy sleeping areas
Important: We are unable to accommodate dogs requiring injectables, such as insulin-dependent pets.

What our other guests have said
Our dog has stayed at ‘A Dogs domain and Cats too’ a number of times. She has a wonderful time and always comes back happy and well. It’s lovely to know that she is so well taken care of, and Jodi and the whole team are amazing and so helpful. 100% recommend!
Absolutely amazing service, Jodi was just so so lovely! She helped us out with a last minute booking as we had a family emergency and took such fantastic care of our boy. It's clear he had a ball! Thank you so much!
My dog can’t wait to leave me behind when she arrives at a Dog’s Domain! Jodi always find a suitable playmate for her, and she has a ball. Facilities are great, and care is excellent.
Thank you so much to Jodi for looking after our cat Salem, he was very well cared for and Jodi was very accommodating when we added and extra nights stay for him at the last minute. Would highly recommend if you’re looking for a friendly welcoming environment for your pet to stay!
Our 2 cats stayed with Jodi for 10 days. Jodi was a pleasure to deal with. Our cats are healthy and happy. We would be happy to rebook in the future!
I would highly recommend A Dogs Domain and Cats Too. My little rescue dog has been going for years and he has always been very well looked after. Jodi one of the owners has provided excellent customer service with a warm and caring approach.
Left my 1.5 year old Maremma for a night to celebrate my wedding in the area and Jodi was so accommodating and easy to work with. Highly recommend A Dogs Domain and Cats Too.
Best place ever wouldn’t leave my toy cavoodle anywhere else. Jodi and her team are just wonderful. Thankyou for your kind service.
Thanks so much to Jodi and team for looking after Holly. First time boarding so were a little nervous. Then heard she had made friends, smelt beautifully clean and well, seemed a little sad to be coming home with us!! More than I hoped for thank you again🐕😊
Thank you Gareth and Jodi. Have been here many times and have always felt like I was simply dropping my dog off at a family members house. They are warming and loving and brilliant to deal with. Thank you for your fantastic service.
It was Max and Hazel's first time staying with Jodi and Gareth and I couldn't be happier! Beautiful facilities, lovely and knowledgeable and you can tell they just love animals.
Best kennel on Dixon Creek Road.... Irene was very informative and professional on the phone and the kennel very fantastic. I will only use A Dogs Domain in the future. Our Labrador had a wash before collection as he was there for 4 nights. The kennel is very big on exercise and stimulation. Thanks you Irene and her team for a fabulous stay!
Thank you so much for looking after our "Alfred" while we were recently away. To trust someone else with a family member can be a bit scary but you were fantastic with him. Would not hesitate to leave him with you again.
Jodie took such great care of our precious family member. We have a Houdini of a dog and Jodie and team made sure she was safe and happy. She came home after a bath and smelling beautifully. I’m also sure she had a wonderful time making new friends
Jodi and the team were wonderful hosts for our two hounds while we were away. Super professional, lovely setting and Jodi was helpful and understanding when we got held up coming back from our holiday. Highly recommend!
In a lovely location in the Yarra valley. Jodi the owner and her family obviously love what they do and the animals in their care. Our Italian greyhound loves going there and comes home happy and clean.
Jodi and her family always look after our German Shepherd perfectly. All his meds are administered and he always comes home a very happy boy. Thank you
