About the business listing
b’ARK Pet Boutique
b’ARK Pet Boutique is a luxury pet accommodation and grooming facility located in the Mary Valley region of Queensland, approximately 12 minutes from Gympie and 30 minutes inland from the Sunshine Coast. Previously known as Katie’s Ark, the boutique was rebranded in 2018 but has been operating since 2015. It sits on an 8-acre countryside property, providing premium care services for dogs, cats, birds, and small animals in a calm, farm-like setting. The facility is run by on-site owners and trained staff who are available 24/7 to ensure consistent and personalised care for all pets.
Luxury Boarding
The boutique offers five-star accommodation in private indoor suites with adjoining outdoor areas. These suites are designed for both overnight stays and long-term boarding for a variety of pets. Guests enjoy daily activities, personalised attention, and high-quality meals served twice daily from a gourmet pet menu.
Boarding includes two individual walk or play sessions per day, and there is access to secure, spacious grounds including grassy paddocks and a small dam. Boarding packages vary by species, with indicative prices starting around A$75 per day for dogs in peak season and A$45 for cats. Birds and small animals are also catered for, with pricing dependent on their size and care needs.
