A Tailored Holiday for Every Pup
We understand that no two dogs are alike. That’s why our boarding process starts with a meet and greet and a thorough trial to ensure every pup is the right fit for our club environment. Dogs staying with us enjoy structured playtime, quiet rest periods, and plenty of pats and attention from our dedicated team. All dogs must be vaccinated, desexed and socialised to join boarding stays, keeping everyone safe and comfortable. With experienced staff and consistent routines, we create a positive experience for both dog and owner.
- Mandatory trial process for all new dogs
- Professional team trained in vet nursing & dog care
- Clean, monitored & stress-free space

Whether it’s one night or a full week, we make your dog’s stay as enjoyable as possible. Enquire about our upcoming dog boarding availability or give us a ring on

Dog Vacay Services
Planning a trip away and want your dog to have their own little holiday? At Pams Vacay Club, our dog vacay service offers short-term care with a homely feel. Unlike traditional boarding, vacay stays are more flexible and personal. We create a relaxed, familiar routine to help your dog feel comfortable while you’re away. Every vacay guest has access to our regular dog day care environment, so they can enjoy enrichment, social time and individual care, not just a kennel stay. It’s the perfect option for dogs who know and love our club, or those after a calm, boutique experience.
- Calm & familiar environment
- Perfect for short stays
- Includes day care sessions
Whether your dog’s with us for a weekend or a few days midweek, we provide a consistent routine and plenty of personal attention. You’ll have peace of mind knowing your dog’s in safe hands and enjoying their own little getaway. Ring us to make a booking.
What to Expect During a Vacay Stay
When your dog stays with us for a vacay, they become part of our day care club during the day and rest in a safe, quiet environment overnight. We make sure they get lots of mental stimulation, outdoor play and downtime — all tailored to suit their personality. Because our staff are trained in animal welfare and dog behaviour, we’re always paying attention to body language and wellbeing. Dogs staying with us must meet all day care requirements, including desexing and up-to-date vaccinations, to ensure a safe group environment.
- Daily enrichment & rest time
- Safe, secure overnight care
- Monitored by trained staff
Our dog vacay service is ideal for dogs who already come to day care or who do well in a smaller, more personalised setting. If your pup is new to us, we’ll start with a trial day to ensure they’re a good match for the space and routine.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I pack for my dog's boarding stay?
When boarding your dog, pack their regular food, favourite toys, bedding if preferred, and any medication with clear instructions. Familiar items help your dog feel more at ease in a new environment. Most facilities will provide bowls, blankets and structured daily routines, but always check what's included beforehand.
Is a trial or assessment required before boarding?
Yes, reputable dog boarding services usually require a trial day or temperament assessment. This step ensures your dog is a good fit for the group environment and gives the staff insight into your pet’s needs, behaviour and comfort level before an extended stay.
How do I know if my dog will enjoy boarding?
If your dog enjoys socialising with other dogs, responds well to new people, and adapts to structured routines, they’ll likely enjoy dog boarding. Trial days help determine this. You can also speak with staff about your dog’s personality to see if boarding is the right fit.
What's the difference between dog vacay and boarding?
Dog vacay generally refers to a short-term, often more relaxed pet stay, sometimes in a sitter’s home or a homely environment with personalised attention. Boarding typically involves a kennel or facility with structured care, set routines, and sometimes larger groups of dogs.
How long can my dog stay on a dog vacay?
Dog vacay stays can range from a single night to several days, depending on the facility and availability. Many dog day care centres that offer vacay services prefer shorter stays to maintain a homely and balanced environment for the dogs. It's ideal for weekend trips, short holidays or unexpected overnights.
What does my dog need to be eligible for a vacay stay?
To qualify for a vacay stay, your dog must typically be desexed, fully vaccinated, and pass a behavioural trial. These requirements help maintain the safety and wellbeing of all dogs on-site. If your dog hasn’t stayed before, it’s a good idea to check ahead and complete the trial process early.
