"First time using Avonlee and I had 2 x 5mth old mini foxies. They stayed in the Little Paws Club and I must say my pups came home happy and more confident having been socialising with other dogs for 2 weeks. I got updates while away which was reassuring as being their first time away I was worried about them. Will definitely use them again in the future. Thank you to everyone who cared for Jeb and Max."

"Our dog Maggie stayed at Avonlee Pet Resort for two nights - her first time away from us, so we were a little anxious. The team was fantastic from start to finish. Communication before and during her stay was clear and reassuring, and the drop-off experience was lovely with friendly staff who put us at ease."

"First stay for our 9 yr old frenchie who absolutely loved it here. Came out looking slimmer and trimmer. Staff were all very helpful and real pet lovers. Would highly recommend and we will stay again."

"I can't say enough good things about Avonlee Pet Resort! They have been absolutely amazing in taking care of my dog, Toohey. From the moment we walked in, I could tell they genuinely care about the animals. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and so attentive to Toohey’s needs. They made sure he felt right at home, and I never had to worry about his well-being. I loved getting updates and photos throughout his stay, which really put my mind at ease. The facilities are spotless and well-maintained, and you can tell they go above and beyond to provide a safe and fun environment for pets. Toohey always comes home happy and exhausted from all the fun he had. Highly recommend Avonlee Pet Resort to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving place to care for their pets"
