Pete’s Happy Pets – Become a member of our family

Pet Care Professional - Helensburgh/Darkes Forest NSW

About Us:

We are a thriving business offering pet boarding, dog training and doggy day-care. We do not use kennels, preferring our doggy companions to have the freedom to run and play in large exercise areas all day and to go on daily walks on our rural property. Our philosophy is simple, every dog is treated as a member of our family so they are happy and content at all times.

Established in 2011 and with 10 years experience on our current site, we are entering a strong investment phase, expanding our facilities to meet both growing demand as well as providing increased care options and activities for our doggy companions.
