Cat Sitters in Taradale

The place is definitely run-down with outdated facilities. I’m not afraid to point that out. Yes, it is very loud. Far too loud and I’m sure the noise level is actually in breach of bylaws for commercial kennels. Neighbours complaining about the noise level is not a good thing. People are paying for a good service and instead their dogs are boarding each day in dirty, old cracked concrete kennels that harbour hair, fecal matter, pee, food and bacteria that can’t just be hosed away. This is against council standards. Dogs are only let out a few times a day for a short period then locked away again, and as for adequate human interaction there really isn’t enough of that at all. There is far too much capacity for each dog to receive the adequate human interaction needed and this kennel is clearly more focused on money making than offering a personalised service that is value for the customer’s money. Some positive aspects of Pet 2 Us is that they do accommodate pets with medical conditions that require medications etc, and they do house dogs separately based on size and energy level, so your little dog won’t be lumped in with boisterous larger dogs. Last time I was there dogs were fed Nutro dry food and Wag dog roll, both good quality foods. Or owners could choose to bring their dog’s own food if that was what they wanted. Kennels are decently sized with some double sized kennels for bonded dogs. Bedding is provided or owners can bring their own. Music is played over loudspeaker during the day for ambience. I advise people looking for daycare or boarding to consider a smaller kennel that prioritises personalised care and interaction for each dog, rather than the ultra commercialised Pet 2 Us business. Dogs that are anxious by nature will stress at Pet 2 Us as the noise level is far too high.

WAY too many dogs! It is so loud and packed all the time, I’m not sure how any of them are taken care of well enough for your money. My parents live near them and it’s all you can hear when I’m visiting!… it’s just too much and shouldn’t be legal… seems inhumane to have that many dogs to try care for properly and give attention too, even as a company, on one property. The amount of dogs barking from really early until late at night is insane… it’s no wonder the neighbours complain about the noise. No one can get a decent sleep around here. They need to move the business to a larger section with more land and further away from other houses.

Lovely dog staff and facilities. Dogs always are happy to go, and they come home exhausted. Thank you!

I can't praise the staff here enough. We lost a elderly family member & had to board her dog at short notice, then try & rehome him. Debby and the crew took amazing care of him & offered excellent advice to try & get the best outcome for him. We got that best outcome. Most grateful!

We have just collected our beagles after being away for almost a month. Dogs in excellent condition, clean, bedding clean and very happy pups. I suspect they would have happily stayed. Huge thankyou

We tyred to take our 2 cats here for 2 nights but because our cats where not vaccinated they could not stay. Staff was lovely and beautiful property

Our dogs have been frequent guests of Pet2Us, and we can not recommend it highly enough. Our dogs are more than family pets they are family and Debbie and the team look after them as they would there own. I am 100% confident of the care they get and that is why our girls return. It is their home away from home. They love the socializing and thrive on the company. Love Love Love the place. regards Kerryann

Lovely staff, really friendly and seem to love the dogs. Our pup comes home tired and happy, and he looks forward to going there. Will keep using them, and would definitely recommend to others!

Pet2Us was my dogs first kennel experience, and even though he was very nervous, didn’t play with other dogs and even had trouble eating, they were so nice and patient with him! All the staff are lovely and very welcoming. Thank you Pet2Us!

We have been taking our Dog there for several years and have been more than satisfied with the service. Our dog will quickly let you know if she does not like something, and is always excited to arrive at these kennels. Would thoroughly recommend them.

Our pussy Hymshee has been in Care at Whiskers and Paws 3 times this year. We have been going to Whiskers and Paws for the past 3 to 4 years. Carol, Nikita and Carol's hubby look after our Boy fantastically. When he returns home Hymshee is very well and super relaxed. We can't rate Whiskers and Paws more highly.

Best cattery - worth every dollar with how they care for your cat, so clean tidy, heaps of space and they don’t over pack any of their enclosures. Love the cat runs and scratching towers! Wish I could say the same about pets2us down the road with the dogs… Will need alternate for the dogs, but will defo be coming back to the cattery

Carol, Nikita and the team looked after my shy elderly cat for several months when she was rescued after the floods. She needed tender loving care which she got in abundance. This was her home away from home. Highly recommend this wonderful facility.

The Best Cat Resort in Hawks Bay! My cat came home happy and cleaner than when we dropped him off! They took care of him so well❤️Communication was so easy, every time I was asking about Tommy the respond was in less than 2 mins!! It was our first time leaving our baby in the resort and was so worried but our experience with these guys was amazing 😻 will do that again with peace of mind😺 we needed to extend his stay for couple of days and it was soooo easy . They are so lovely and understanding. I appreciate everything that you guys did for Tommy 😻😽

Took very good care of our 17 year old cat. Great facilities, our cat was relaxed. Her complicated medication requirements were dispensed correctly.

Professionally run cattery, always a pleasure to use!

My little 8 month cat was delivered home to me looking like she had been on holiday with lots of nice food to eat! So good and convenient that pick up and drop off is offered too. I'm thrilled with the cares given at Whiskers and Paws and I highly recommend. Many thanks😄😄

Our cat has been going there for years. Owners are always accommodating. Particular in emergencies when we have to go out of town unexpectedly. Your cat will be well looked after.

Awesome!!! Tilly loves to holiday at Whiskers & Paws! Thanks to Carol & her girls for their wonderful care. 1st class at a very good rate. Great to always pick up a healthy happy cat.

These guys are awesome. Place is spotless and completely cat smell free - which can be a big ask!! My grumpy old fur baby was very well looked after by the lovely friendly team. Thank you we will definitely be back.

Dropped our dogs off for the weekend, we'll looked after and no problems. Would highly recommend to dog owners.

Awesome kennels, my foxy seemed alot happier after this kennel visit than some in the past. Will definitely be going back

Diane runs a very organized service. My elderly dog is always very pleased to arrive at the kennels and comes home happy and very content

Just had my little albe groomed. Awesome job very happy

Left my neo mastiff at the Kennels for 10 days, supplied chicken mince/ royal canin biscuits for the 10 day period, when picking my dog up he was under weight!! Once home he had brown water poos and throwing up everywhere. Unhappy Customer!!

Biscuit has arrived back from his Easter holiday very happy, clean, calm (as he can be) and in great condition. Thanks for taking such good care of him.

Our pup loves his first doggy daycare stay!! Played with other dogs all day, and was bathed as well and nail trim which we didn’t expect. We have one very tired and happy dog, love it!

Such an amazing place for my Marshie to go to through the days and to stay when we go away. So lucky to have the team at Chesterhope looking after him so well and with so much care and love.

Love this place, where the dogs can play and are cared for beautifully

Left my baby Max at Chesterhope for 5 nights and he absolutely loved it. When i picked him up he smelt so good. The staff are lovely and took really great care of him. Will definitely use this facility again in future. This was my first time putting my furbaby in a boarding kennel and as reluctant as i was to leave him i was so happy to see that the staff at Chesterhope took such great care of him.
