Say Goodbye with Peace and Dignity
A calm, caring place for your cat or small dog while you’re away.
Leaving your furry friend can be stressful — for both of you. That’s why our boarding facilities are designed to feel secure, clean, and calm, with daily attention from experienced vet nurses who truly know cats and dogs. Whether it’s just for a weekend or a longer stay, you can relax knowing they’re safe and well looked after.
Why Choose Mosman Vet for Boarding?
Unlike more generalised pet boarding facilities, our accommodation is located within the veterinary hospital, with quiet, climate-controlled housing and a team that monitors your pet’s health and comfort every day. If anything goes wrong while you’re away, they’re already in the right place.
This is especially valuable for older cats, pets with medical needs, or anxious animals who don’t cope well with noise and disruption.
