Dog Boarding in Auckland
Your dog stays in our home, not a kennel.
Daily care, training support and pack walks, with pickup and drop-off across Auckland. From $80 a night.
Boarding, not a kennel
Most dogs do not relax in a kennel. They sit in a concrete run surrounded by stressed, barking dogs and come home wound up. A homestay is the opposite.
A typical kennel
- Concrete runs and rows of kennels
- Rows of barking, stressed dogs
- Limited handling, mostly left alone
- Comes home wound up or unsettled
Our homestay
- Lives in our home as one of the family
- Calm house, only five dogs at a time
- Constant care and a real daily routine
- Comes home relaxed, often better behaved
