About Us
Your Pet’s Second Family
Furhill Pet Boarding in Kempsey combines the personal care of a family-owned and operated business with professional-grade service and facilities.
Mel and Matt purchased their 127-acre property in 2018 with the dream of opening Furhill. After receiving Council approval for the project, construction began, and the kennels were later officially opened in November 2019. Exciting expansions and improvements to our facility are underway in 2021.
The Furhill humans currently consist of owners, Mel, a veterinary nurse with over 15 years’ Experience, and Matt, a genuine animal lover and all-round handyman—along with a young, passionate team of fur-baby enthusiasts. There is also a collection of four-legged and feathered residents, including Wazi the pure-bred Australia mongrel dog; Sapa the Koolie x Giraffe x who-knows-what-else dog; Weasel and Mauw the cats; chickens; guinea fowl who think they are chickens; horses who think they are dogs; and cows who look like pandas. Together, the Furhill team has a commitment to providing a genuinely caring boarding experience for their four-legged visitors, which means that owners can be assured of the best possible care for their pets.
Pets enjoy many of the same comforts at Furhill as they do at home. Individual attention and cuddles, outdoor playtime and a secure indoor/outdoor space of their own are just some of the creature comforts your pet will enjoy here at Furhill.
Owners can enjoy the peace of mind they get from leaving their pet at our brand new, state-of-the-art boarding facility. They can also feel more secure knowing our council-approved facilities are owned and monitored by a vet nurse who has their pets’ wellbeing in mind, always.
The Furhill Difference
The decision about what to do with your pet when planning a holiday or other absence from home can be a difficult one. As stressful as it can be to leave your pet behind sometimes, it can be even more stressful to travel with them. There are several considerations to consider regarding how your pet will handle the trip.
Will they become distressed on a plane or in the car? Will they tear up everything in the hotel room while you’re out? Where will you take them If they get sick? If you take them to a kennel, will they be crated and left alone? Leaving your pet with a friend or family member isn’t always possible and can also come with its own difficulties.
Furhill Pet Boarding eliminates each of these concerns. Our property is secure, and our boarding area is designed especially for safely and comfortably housing pets. But most importantly, your pet will get all the care they need should they get sick or upset. We are happy to cater to the special needs of our visitors, be it some company while they eat dinner, or a paw being held during those scary thunderstorms.
