What owners say
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five‑Star Review We have had dogs as house pets for the past 52 years and have used many pet lodges during our annual overseas trips. Fairfield Pet Lodge stands head and shoulders above the rest. Anton and Crisna are exceptionally professional, caring, and clearly passionate about what they do. We collected our two dogs today after a three‑week holiday overseas, and once again they came home relaxed, happy, and in excellent condition. It’s obvious they were very well looked after. The level of care, attention, and genuine affection shown to our dogs gives us complete peace of mind every time. We cannot thank Fairfield Pet Lodge enough for their outstanding service. Truly a well‑earned five stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Disappointing and unacceptable experience. My mum was quoted $70 over the phone for an overnight (Saturday 9am dropoff to Sunday 9am pickup) trial stay for our two dogs. When we arrived Saturday morning to drop the dogs off for the 24 hours she was told on the spot that the cost was actually $116. She was also informed she could not collect the dogs 9am the next day, but now until later the next day after 3pm on the Sunday, despite being told and quoted on the phone and by email that 9am Sunday morning pickup was fine. Anton was rude and dismissive on the phone. He actually admitted he made a mistake but still degraded my mum and made it her fault!! This is misleading and very unprofessional. I would not recommend based on our experience. If you want it harsher or shorter, say the word and I will tighten it further.

after many days of researching and visiting different doggy day-cares, We are so happy we chose Fairfield Pet Lodge. Anton and his team are amazing. Sarg is so excited to go every morning he sits next to the car waiting to go and cant wait to get out when we get there. The service is so friendly and our pup comes home knackered. Anton knows his stuff when it comes to the animals, he gave us some great pointers. Sarg loves the place and the staff and so do we. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend sending your beloved animal here, they will be loved and cared for as if they were their own.

We recently moved into the area and we had to look for a new holiday home for our dog Cleo, naturally leaving her somewhere new made me feel very anxious but I didn’t need to worry, Anton was awesome! He was very reassuring and we picked up a happy tired pup when we got back! Bonus was she came back smelling like she had just had a nice bath too..thanks Anton and the team for putting my mind at ease through the stressful part of the holiday and looking after Cleo so well. Would definitely recommend!
