Where can I find the best pet boarding & kennels in my city?
Starworks publishes a separate ranking for pet boarding & kennels in every Australian city and suburb it holds enough data for, each built from that place's own Google review record rather than from this national list. Browse by city below.
Why does my pet boarding service business not appear in these national rankings?
Starworks ranks public Google Maps data, so a business needs a Google profile in the pet boarding service category carrying at least one review and a rating to be eligible. This national ranking of pet boarding & kennels in Australia lists the top 50 of the 485 highest-rated pet boarding & kennels; a business ranked outside them appears on its own city page wherever Starworks holds enough data for that city.
