Bayview Canine Lodge

We have always used Bayview for our dogs when we go out of town and have always found them to be wonderful and caring with our pets. In late July we experienced a family crisis and needed somewhere for our dogs to stay until we sorted out our personal circumstances. We showed up unannounced, without a booking and after closing time with our two dogs. Kerry did not hesitate to take our pets straight away. She went above and beyond her job to look after our two boys and we knew that they would be in very good and capable hands with her. Can not express our gratitude enough.

We recently went away for 5 weeks overseas & left Wazza our very special small 4 legged member of our family with Kerry up at Bayview Kennels. Wazza has stayed before with Kerry for shorter times a couple of times before in the dog section & though we hated leaving him for such a longer time we were confident he was in kind, safe, loving hands with Kerry. Upon arriving at Bayview Kennels & Kerry coming out Wazza ran around & then up to Kerry all excited to see her & Kerry all excited to see him. Seeing his reaction & hers reconfirmed to us we were doing the right thing leaving him there with her for such a long time. 5 weeks later we returned to a happy well looked after dog. I would recommend to anyone thinking of having to go away & wanting to leave their special 4 legged member of their family (dog or cat) at a place where they will be well looked after & loved , to go up or ring up Kerry at Bayview Kennels. Next time we go away Wazza will once again be going up to stay with his friend Kerry at Bayview Kennels.

So happy we found Bayview Kennels for the youngest member of our family, Jackson. The attention and service that is provided at Bayview by Kerry (and Ross) is nothing but exceptional. Going away on holidays I feel so comfortable with leaving Jackson knowing that he will be loved and cared for as if he were their own dog. The individual attention given to each animal while I have been there either collecting or picking up Jackson just shows me that I have left him with the correct company. I have no hesitation in telling people about Bayview and highly recommend them whenever the conversation arises. The homely loving atmosphere created and care given is much appreciated by my family.

We have boarded our 2 german shepherds (our babies) a number of times at Bayview. They go above and beyond to make sure our boys are happy, eating (they are quite fussy) and have lots of love and cuddles. We have used various kennels over the years and Bayview is the only one that my boys are happy to go back to. Our boys are very sooky despite their size, and love to get cuddles. At most other kennels they are kept fed and clean and come back healthy enough but at Bayview we can tell that they have had cuddles and have a bond with the people there. Our boys are much happier there. Bayview will always be our first preference.

Harry and Oliver have resided at Bayview on numerous occasions and consider it their 'Holiday house'. They bound out of the car (once it has come to a complete stop) and greet Kerry with enthusiasm EVERY time they visit. The service, quality and care that they receive is second to none and it's comforting to know that they are in great hands and loved while we are away!

Our over excited boxer has stayed with Kerry and the team at Bayview regularly over the past year as we were selling our house. So that she didn't destroy the yard before open homes we would place her in the care of Bayview. It became a regular occurrence for a couple of months every weekend she would look forward to seeing the staff. The facilities were always impeccable, staff were very friendly and accommodating! Our boxer has a sensitive stomach and they were happy to cater to her needs. I can't speak highly enough of Bayview, its staff (thank you Kerry) and the facilities! I definitely recommend them for your 4 legged family member!

I have left my staffy with Bayview Kennels over the past few years, and find Kerry very accommodating and able to customise his stay. Albert has stayed at a few kennels in the region and this is the only one he actually enjoys going back to, so I suppose that says a lot. Even though it may be a little bit out of town (20min) it is a small sacrifice for a peace of mind knowing that your pet is well looked after. Highly recommended.

I Have 2 BIG SOOKS which have stayed at Bayview Canine Lodge on several occasions. I don't trust just anyone with my babies, but I know when I leave my dogs in Bayview I can go away with peace of mind that my dogs are in the best care. Thank you Bayview you always go above and beyond. We highly recommend Bayview and would never consider going anywhere else.

We have used Bayview several times over the past few years and found both the kennels and Kerry great to deal with. Kerry does go the extra mile to ensure the dog's stay is the most comfortable, well done highly recommended.

We have used Bayview several times and we go away with the comfort that our dogs are looked after and safe. Kerry is great with the dogs and she really knows how to handle all types of personalities. While it can be distressing to put your dog in a lodge, it's a small price to pay for knowing they are fed well, looked after and safe. We would definitely recommend Bayview. Thanks Kerry, see you again soon.
