I grew up in the country surrounded by animals. I then spent a few years in the heart of Sydney and have now returned back to what I love best – looking after my best friends. For me, the most important part of owning and running the kennels & cattery is ensuring that all our guests go home happy and contented.

Calabash Kennels has grown substantially over the last seven years. Why? Because of our referrals from veterinarians (some of whom place their pets in our care) and from our loyal regular clients. Even local pet food shops recognise our commitment to our pets health and prefer to refer us over other local kennels.

We decided to cater for the need of a first class cattery and we opened Calabash Cattery in October 2004. With the cattery now open and the increase in business, I am proud to say that it has come to the point where we have over 6 full and part time staff.

All of our fantastic staff have been carefully chosen for their love of animals, attention to detail and work ethic.

Several years ago I went into our (at the time) local butcher who told me in shocked tones that the previous customer was a little nutty and allowed the dogs to sleep on the bed. Shock, horror I thought as I walked out of the butchers shop. I know where my dogs sleep …

Hi Linda

I just wanted to send a quick message to express my sincere thanks to both you and Helen for taking care of Harry and Lucy recently.

It's quite clear that they both absolutely loved the experience.
Harry and Lucy are so very important to me and knowing that they were enjoying their environment, their needs being accommodated and they were generally being well taken care of, put me at such ease. Your facilities are without a shadow of doubt the best that I have encountered and you and your staff have the most exceptional attitude towards the very important work that you do, it's really heartwarming to see. There'll be no question in my mind where they will be staying in future. Of course, for Harry and Lucy being spoilt was indeed a bonus! I really loved hearing about how they were in your emails and particularly the photos but most of all loved coming home to find them so happy and healthy!

Once again thank you. Lucy is already planning their next holiday with you and Harry can't wait to be back in the awesome playground (between you and me, I think he's kinda upset that he had to leave!).

Kindest regards

Paula Gonzalez | Portfolio Management Consultant.
