Reviews
Absolutely great service!!! When having 2 pups flown from Christchurch to Auckland, Matt made it easy and stress free, with quick and easy communication and great pricing.
The best dog daycare or kennels in Christchurch!
Great value at $15/day. Security cameras and 24-hour owners gave us peace of mind. Our cat was well looked after.
Convenient location near the airport. Staff are experienced and check on the cats regularly. Will use again.
