Our Story
At Pets In The City, everything starts with the standards we set for ourselves.
As co-owners, we’ve spent the past three years raising the bar for dog care across Auckland; building places we’d trust with our own dogs, and leading teams who share that same pride and professionalism.
Central Bark is a special chapter in that journey. We saw the opportunity to take a much-loved local name and give it the care, structure, and ongoing support of the Pets In The City family, blending the best of its past with the standards we hold today.
For us, this isn’t just a business. It’s personal. It’s purpose-driven. And it’s built on one belief: dogs deserve the very best of us, every single day.

Co-Owners, Pets In The City
At Pets In The City, caring for dogs starts with caring for people: our team, our customers, and our community.
Because when our people thrive, our dogs do too.
Who we aspire to be.
We're building a culture where personal and professional growth is just as important as business growth. That's why we created the PITC Culture Code.
It shares our key values in greater detail and outlines our "Why". It's part who we are, and part who we aspire to be. Click the link to discover what it means to be part of the PITC Pack!
