Dog boarding on the south coast
A Pets Life is located at Toolijooa (near Gerringong) on approx. 3 acres of securely fenced land which allows the dogs to roam safely and freely.
Pet Accommodation with a difference.
A Pets Life allow friendly dogs to come and enjoy a holiday at our farm.
The dogs that come to stay with us live at our home like our own dogs do! During the day they are outside playing with each other or snoozing and then at night they are welcomed inside our home to sleep comfortably.
Why A Pets Life?
Here are just a few reasons why your dog should stay at our Farm

Pick up & drop off

Space to run freely

Sleep inside
A day in the life of a Dog at our Farmstay

We provide transportation for your dog to make it easy for you
With your holiday preparations in full swing, let us lend a helping hand. We offer the convenience of picking up and dropping off your furry family member.
Alternatively, if you prefer you can bring your dog into the Canineology Centre at Unanderra and we will take it from there.
Play in our securely fenced area with other dogs
Throughout the day, your dog has the freedom to roam freely around our securely fenced yard on our 3 acre farm or do zoomies with other furry friends. They can also enjoy a swim in our pool or opt for a leisurely sun-soaked nap on the verandah to rest.


We treat your dog like one of our own dogs.
Come the evening we provide your dog with a quality feed and can easily accommodate special diets or medications.
At night time your dog will be welcomed inside our home, where they’ll find a cozy spot to sleep alongside their newfound furry friends.
After a good nights sleep they will be recharged and ready for another day of playful adventures…

Frequently Asked Questions
“Knowing our pets are ALWAYS well cared for and LOVED while we are abroad or on the road has absolutely lessened any unwanted and unneeded stress.”
“Ellie and Rod have been caring for our dogs at their home for several years when we as a family have needed to travel or go away on short breaks.
Knowing our pets are ALWAYS well cared for and LOVED while we are abroad or on the road has absolutely lessened any unwanted and unneeded stress.
The service of pick-up and dropping off of our pets also means an easier organisation for us as a family and one less thing that needs to happen before we head off.
I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this service offered by Ellie and Rod. An entirely professional couple with decades of experience caring for dogs but also caring and in tune with the anxiety that can be caused for both owner and pet when absent for a period of time.”
