We aim to create a relaxing, clean, safe, a little 'luxurious' environment and the most fun, least stressful experience a dog could have while away from home.

While we know you're the very best caregiver for your dog, we like to be the best while you're away – because we love and will care for yours as we care for our own.

Pets In The City's dog boarding kennels in Auckland become a sanctuary for beloved pets when owners are away. Our facilities offer various services, including doggy daycare, grooming, and dog training, all with the well-being of the dogs as the top priority. At Pets In The City Auckland Dog Hotel and dog daycare facilities, we pride ourselves on providing dogs with a warm and nurturing environment, treating them like our own. So, what makes our facilities stand out? Let's delve into the heart of these services and find out.

The Importance of a Secure Environment

In our Dog Hotels, the safety and comfort of the dogs are paramount. Pets In The City Auckland’s dog kennels provide an environment that is:

  • Safe,
  • Secure,
  • Spacious,
  • Clean, and
  • Equipped with home-like comforts.

How is this secure environment achieved? Pets In The City deploy several security measures, including CCTV surveillance, secure locks, and kennels (we call them Apartments 😀) specifically designed to be safe and secure. These security measures contribute to a worry-free environment where dogs can comfortably stay.

Tailored Exercise and Playtime

As Auckland’s top dog boarding kennels, we realise that exercise and playtime are crucial for a dog’s health and happiness. All our three Auckland Branches feature spacious indoor and outdoor areas where dogs can partake in various games, fostering their physical and mental well-being.

Special Diets and Care

A dog's well-being is greatly influenced by their diet, and premier dog hotels like Pets in the City recognise the importance of this. That's why we go above and beyond to provide tailored meal plans that meet the specific dietary needs of each dog, ensuring they receive the proper nutrition they deserve.

But our commitment to the health and well-being of our furry guests doesn't stop at nutrition. At Pets In The City, we also offer individualised care, including administering regular medication as needed.

A Guide to Choosing the Right Dog Hotel Service in Auckland

Untitled design-70

When it comes to choosing the perfect Dog Hotel in Auckland, there are a few key factors to consider. First and foremost, you want to ensure that the facility provides regular updates on your dog's well-being, giving you peace of mind while you're away. It's also important to familiarise yourself with their booking process and policies to ensure a smooth and stress-free experience.

Another critical aspect to consider is acclimating your dog to a dog daycare or boarding setting from a young age. Starting at around 12 weeks old, introducing them to this environment can help build their confidence and reduce their anxiety when they're away from home. By considering these factors, you can ensure that your furry friend has a comfortable and enjoyable stay in our boarding kennels.
