Where Happy Dogs Holiday
Dog Boarding and Accommodation in Dural
Our dog boarding guests stay in spacious, open rooms designed to feel like a home away from home. Each room offers comfort and privacy to help reduce stress and make settling in easy.
Every dog has their own trampoline bed, fresh water refreshed throughout the day, and a daily meal tailored to their routine. For pups staying a little longer, we’ll even send you a pet postcard with some holiday snaps (for stays of 7 days or more).
Outside, our wide grassy yards are perfect for stretching legs, running freely, and staying fit. We’ve carefully designed these spaces to give dogs plenty of room to move, play, and stay safe.
All of this is set in the peaceful foothills of Dural—one of the Hills District’s most beautiful spots, just 45 minutes from Sydney CBD.

Absolutely yes. It is federal and respective state law for any cat or dog visiting a licensed boarding kennel to have their appropriate vaccinations. No refunds or credits will be given should these not be up to date by time of booking.

Tours of our resorts are encouraged and welcome by appointment only. Please call our reception team to book a tour time and day.
Unfortunately, we can not accommodate tours during any School Holiday period, public holidays or Sundays.
We have large spacious exercise yards that we encourage our canine guests to have a good romp around in so they can stretch and get their daily exercise.
We also have extra playtimes available to be added to your pet’s booking. Speak to our lovely receptionists about extra play.
We can arrange play time with a doggy friend providing we have a dog with mutual social behaviour of course! Please discuss with us prior to check in for details.
We do not recommend bringing your own bedding simply because personal bedding will not be treated the same way by your dog in our kennel as it will at home. We will provide comfortable and adequate bedding for your furry friend however if you have an elderly pet with special needs, we are happy to discuss.
Sydney Petlands will accept no responsibility for damage or loss in the event that you insist your bedding accompanies your dog and there may even be a surcharge if it’s required to be laundered.
We have toys at Sydney Petlands for your pets to play with, however some of our guests have their own favourite toy. As with bedding, toys can get a rougher than normal workout which also means it could be destroyed or lost during play.
Sydney Petlands will accept no responsibility in the event that a toy is lost or damaged as we are happy to provide our own for your pet to play with and accept this loss.
You don’t have to provide your own food as we have quality premium food available, however having your pets own diet can assist your dog in the event that they may suffer from an upset stomach when changing food brands or health issues. If you would prefer to provide your own special diet, we ask that you discuss it with us upon making a booking.
Unfortunately, no amount of supervision or hygiene practices can completely eliminate the presence of Canine Cough. Just like human colds and Flu’s the virus is unpredictable even in the cleanest environment.
While we insist that all our canine guests are adequately immunized before staying with us, this does not stop the presence of canine cough.
The common signs of Canine Cough are:
- persistent dry coughing
- gagging
- fever
- eye and nasal discharge
- lethargy
- sneezing and snorting
If you’re concerned your dog may have Canine Cough, we recommend reaching out to your veterinarian immediately.
If there are any concerns about Canine Cough at our facility, we will immediately isolate the dog and perform rigorous cleaning processes around the resort on top of the already thorough daily cleaning methods we have in place.
Sydney Petlands will not be held accountable in the event that an animal contracts the virus but will make every attempt to make sure the pet is comfortable and treatment is sought. Any veterinarian fees will be billed to the corresponding owner.
With certain breeds of dogs or easily stressed dogs you may expect a small amount of weight loss. This has nothing to do with not getting enough food, it has everything to do with how your dog manages stress and with how much movement your dog does during their time with us.
Like us, we can lose weight on our holidays from doing more activities or gain weight by eating too well. We have vet quality scales in reception that we will weigh all pets on arrival and departure to ensure they haven’t lost or gained too much weight. For pets staying long term we will periodically weigh the pet to ensure they are sustaining a correct body weight.
