What makes us so unique

Giving our canine best friends room to roam

Our story
Margate Country Dog Resort was founded by Mike and Sue Weaver, and is owned and operated by Amanda Jessup. Amanda has built a modern, intimate, comfortable and social boarding facility that caters for no more than 20 dogs at any one time. Amanda is supported by her mum, Sue Weaver, who volunteers her work, with Holly and Arial also helping out.
Our environment
Our dog resort is located just 25 minutes from Hobart in the beautiful countryside of Margate. We are like dog kennels but without the concrete and with wide open green spaces and lots of attention for our dog visitors. Our services include dog boarding, and pet taxi services for clients within our service area.
Our dog boarding resort is a purpose built facility. We offer a stress free, warm and friendly environment for all the dogs that we house.
If you are seeking pet sitting, book a trial night with us first. Your dog could enjoy their own holiday with friends in comfort!
