PetGuides.au lists 5 kennels in Newcastle, NSW. Every listing carries an honest data-status label (Demo / Imported / Verified / Claimed) so you can judge how current it is — use the filters above to narrow by service, after-hours availability, or whether they’re accepting new clients. Here’s what to weigh when you choose.

Boarding is one place where seeing it in person really matters. Before you book:

Visit first: a good kennel will happily show you where dogs sleep, play and are exercised — take up the offer.
Vaccination and health policy: reputable kennels require current vaccination including kennel cough, which is a good sign rather than an inconvenience.
Supervision and routine: ask the staff-to-dog ratio, how often dogs are exercised, and how they’re grouped.
Special needs: confirm they can manage medication, a special diet or an anxious dog.
Peak season: book early for holidays and check the deposit and cancellation policy up front.
