At Sydney Petlands, our cat boarding is designed to make your feline feel safe, calm, and cared for. Each guest enjoys their own private room with cosy bedding, a scratching post, and fresh water refreshed throughout the day. We also provide a daily meal—and for stays of 7 days or more, you’ll receive a pet postcard with some holiday snaps.
All cats are housed and exercised individually to suit their pace and personality. For families with more than one cat, we can arrange shared playtime upon request. Our trained team of true cat lovers is here 24/7 to gently support your cat as they settle in and enjoy their stay in our Dural cattery.

Dogs and cats over the age of 10 are considered senior guests.
Senior guests typically require more attention from our team during their stay as they generally have more pre-existing medical conditions than our younger guests.
We require a fit to board letter for all guests over the age of 10 to ensure our facilities are right for your fur-baby. This letter is required to be updated every 3 months.
If your senior pet has a number of medical conditions, gets very stressed in new situations or is not an experienced boarder, you may want to consider alternative options such as a home pet-sitting service. If you do need to board your pet outside of the home and they have a serious or unpredictable medical condition, your veterinarian may be a better choice, as they will be able to spot an impending crisis quickly and take the appropriate action.
Yes, for everyones safety, all dogs must arrive on lead and cats and small pets must be secured in individual carriers.
