Frank and Danielle were absolutely fantastic. It was a very last-minute sit and they were extremely accommodating about Skyping with me beforehand so we could get to know each other. They walked in the door of my apartment and my cat, for whom strangers usually cause a flight response (like, flying upstairs and hiding under the bed) didn't bat an eye. She immediately let them pet her. They provided updates while I was gone and when we arrived home, it was as if nobody had ever been there - everything clean and in proper order. Frank and Danielle are super friendly, warm and attentive. I would definitely have them back.
Ramon did a great job communicating throughout the entire process. He sent regular photos and updates of Dusty playing and relaxing - he was even willing to stay an extra night when our flight was delayed. Dusty is an older cat who needs eye drops and Ramon tackled it like a pro. Our house was tidy and sheets were washed when we returned. Would highly recommend!
We are so glad we found David and Jaime to house/pet sit for us... they were incredible caretakers and very easy to coordinate with as we were planning the trip and traveling. (They were happy to send us regular pet updates or contact us only if there were problems... we opted for once-in-awhile update arrangement, and so we got a few helpful notes, along with pictures that made us laugh.) On either end of the trip, they coordinated their travel plans so that they could make sure our cats got medications at the right times, and when we arrived back, the cats were lounging about looking like kings... they'd obviously found another pair of humans to fulfill their every desire! Our beta fish, Miracle, fared well in David and Jaime's care, too. David and Jaime also took extra good care of our plants and house during a 100+ degree heat wave, which meant a bit of extra outdoor vigilance and watering, and related to that, they were conscientious about energy use in our home during their stay. Our house was spotless when we arrived home-- we so appreciated finding our floors fully vacuumed, all of our dishes cleaned and put away, and our sheets washed and folded (among other things). While they were visiting, David and Jaime even took time to do few fix-it type things-- they propped up a drooping plant, and I suspect they were responsible for fixing a slow-draining sink, too. We feel very lucky to have had two such conscientious people watch our home while we were away-- we would absolutely work with David and Jaime again!

The second I answer the call to take Louie down, he goes crazy with excitement. He is more excited to be picked up for his walks by Wendy or Bella than he is when I get home from work. The walks are varied, exciting and stimulating. These are an essential part of Louie’s exercise and stimulation routine. He gets to explore new places and socialise with an amazing pack 🐶 🐶
Great professional outfit, who care for the dogs while finding a scent of adventure for all on the walks. New dogs are carefully vetted and aggressive dogs turned away. I have been impressed with the variety of doggy experiences and my mutt is over the moon when the van rolls up the drive at 7am. Peace of mind is worth having.
Our dog Cooper hears the van coming down the street and gets super excited. He loves loves Greg and runs straight into the van. The walks have been great for his social development being a lockdown puppy. We couldn't be happier with Paw Support.
The Paw Support team is our girls second family, although if she could talk she’d probably theyre say her favourite family! Greg & team have showed their love for our pup since day one. Theyre passionate about and patient with all pups & are always responsive & ready to help us out. We are first time pup parents & feel more confident with our extended whanau at Paw Support!
Wendy and Greg are an incredible team and take such amazing care of my two dogs. We couldn't recommend them more highly, and the dogs absolutely adore them!
Daisy loves her days out! The variety of locations and friends give her have made her much happier and calmer at home. Appreciate it - thanks team
Really happy with our first of hopefully many more visits to Scissorhounds Mission Bay. My cat Miso is a Persian X and her fur gets very long and hard for her to manage, plus it’s very hard for us to get the brush everywhere. The groomer was very nice and gentle and spoke with me beforehand to check what sort of groom I’d like, which admittedly I said I’m happy with any length and cut because what’s important was to get rid of some of the underbelly matting. We are so happy with the result, she looks so cute but most importantly she seems so much happier now that her fur isn’t hurting her. She’s mostly quite aloof but she’s been hanging out with us more since the shave. Thank you so much for your expertise and patience with her, she probably didn’t show it at the time but she is very grateful, as are we!
Very happy to have finally found a dog groomer who can manage Ginny's claws. I tried 3 different places before this: they were all either very pricey, unable to hold her or other difficulties. Yay Scissorhounds mission bay! Thanks for being quick, well-priced and excellent dog handlers.
My Jack Russell hates having his claws clipped after a previous bad experience Thank goodness, I have found Scissorhounds. They are fantastic, as even the vet gave up unless he was sedated, which is now not necessary Thank you, Scissorhounds, you do an amazing job 🐶🐕 …
This is the second time I have brought Randall to this place for a groom as we have recently moved around the area. I was a bit worried about bringing Randall to a new groomer but Randall was well taken care by Nico and his team. It helps as well that they are nice and very friendly. Randall always gets complimented at work after his groom.
Nico and his team have been grooming Patrick now for over two years and I wouldn't take him anywhere else now. He is always groomed just beautifully and his wee westie face perfect. And the team are just delightful. Highly recommend.
Mavis my 6 year old long haired exotic Persian is a regular at scissorhounds! She always looks & smells amazing every time! The service is friendly, professional and reliable! The best groomer in town!
Daisy (5 months) had her first puppy groom at Scissor Hounds with Nico. Nico was gentle and kind with her and Daisy pup came out looking beautiful and much more comfortable. Thanks Nico. We look forward to seeing you again.
I've been coming here for a while now, they are incredibly accommodating and listen to what your looking for. Definitely recommend them
I'd like to give a shout out for this amazing business :) Nico, has been doing an amazing job, and knows exactly how to present our Schnauzer-cross Foxy. He is very friendly, and professional. After a couple of bad experiences with others groomers. We are extremely happy to have found found him.
Lovely people and amazing service. One year later and still handsome! Thank you for your wonderful care, Nico and team!
Layla (Golden Retriever) has fortunately attended Top Dogs since she was 4 human months old (approximately) old, full time daily. As at 1 November 2024, she is turning 8 humans years old. I express this to give background that I speak as a long term attendee willingly. I would like to testify the fantastic team at Top Dogs are truly an extended family to help grow, train, nurture and protect every individual furbaby within their care. That peace of mind and the welcoming friendly environment and all they provide, is what has secured Layla's attendance. Recently, Layla has had a few special treatments (one of the many special extra's that Top Dogs provide) via their caring groomers, having had her Golden Retriever long fur paws trimmed, nails manicured and pedicured. Looks so good and she is a happier puppy. To each of the lovely team at Top Dogs, thank you all. Furever appreciated. Desiree, Rae & Layla x
We trialled a few doggy daycares in the area and ultimately went to Top Dogs due to the professionalism and care the staff put into our pets. These guys know what they’re doing. Our pets also come out smelling so nice after which is a HUGE bonus as they usually get really stinky at other daycares! Thank you for looking after Luna and Archie, they’re always so tired in the best way after a day of fun and play at Top Dogs.
Pearl has been at Top Dogs since a puppy,( she is now two) and has been very happy. The team approach is perfect- loving, firm when needed. Being there is a delight for her! Thanks so much.
Our pup Truffle has been going to Top Dogs for almost a year now and she absolutely loves it! The team there are awesome and provide a great service for all the dogs. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for doggy daycare.
Top Dogs is truly amazing⭐️. We travel 20-25mins to go this fabulous doggy daycare. Rusty is super excited from the moment we arrive in the car, to trying to bust through the gate to get in. The staff are amazing and very flexible. Highly recommend 🙂 …
Have been bringing my 7 month puppy here for a few weeks now and I’m so happy we started. She loves her days here once a week and it’s really helping her development and social skills with other people and dogs. Being a very inquisitive and energetic puppy It’s a bonus for us that she’s absolutely exhausted by the time we get home. Thank you to the team for taking such good care of her. Love the daily photos on your Facebook page too 😁😁
Our dog has been going to Top Dogs day care for over 2 months and this has been the best thing we have done for our dog! Not only is it a dog day care, they actually provide training using clickers. The dogs get great attention and care. The service is very professional and friendly - and our dog Ralph loves it there! Every dog we see there flys out of the car super excited to go in the mornings! Highly recommended!
Pixie loves Top Dogs Day Stay (and so do I ) . She genuinely does not want to leave when I go and pick her up at the end of the day. As a frightened little rescue dog she has gained so much confidence from going to Day Care on a regular basis. I would highly recommend Top Dogs
Axel loves coming so much that he nearly jumps over the front gate! Staff are super-friendly and the grooming is a really good standard too! Great price too for multi-passes.
Our boy loves Top Dogs and always comes home relaxed and happy. The owner and her team who have been there since the beginning are nothing but supportive, knowledgeable and empathetic and i so appreciate this as part of the service as there are a few things we have needed help with to get our boy responding as he should be. Keep up the amazing work guys!!
I have loved working at Pets and Pats. It's heartwarming to work with such adorable little dogs, you create an amazing bond by spending so much time with them. I stopped working a week ago and missed them every day. Another plus is the staff I have met in the 6 months I have worked here, caring people who are always willing to help and lend a hand when you need it, especially if you are from abroad. I made some great friends from all over the world who I will miss very much and would love to see again if this trip brings me back to Auckland.
Absolutely love the friendly team at Pets and Pat! My little pup, Romeo, has been going there for over a year, and he always looks forward to the PupBus coming by in the morning. Romeo is already looking forward to his morning cuddles and kisses from all his friends! Team is very professional and always communicate all so well. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
Working in Pets and Pats made me feel very grateful, first because I was able to spend so much time with so many doggies, and second because gave me the opportunity to make very good friends while working with the staff members. Also it was very rewarding to see the excitement in the puppies every morning when I had to pick them up, but also see the happiness when they were reunited with the parents in the afternoon.
Pets and Pats are just wonderful! My little Cleo has been going to the farm since she was six months old so the better part of 2 years - we had tried a couple of other daycares before settling for Pets and Pats - They have given Cleo so much confidence, Ang and the team treat her as if she is one of their own but not just when she’s there - When Cleo has been off unwell they would check in on her and drop off care packages making not only her but also me feel cared for and supported. I always know she has the best time while she is there, when she is picked up she is always so excited to go does twirls and squeaks in excitement before bounding out the door and is so worn out when she comes home that she snuggles up on the couch - If your ever considering a daycare for you little fur baby absolutely can’t recommend P&P enough!
I cannot recommend Pets and Pats enough. Being first time fur parents, we care so much about our little Charlie and where he goes. Pets and Pats are constantly AMAZING to deal with. Charlie gets picked up by the "pup bus" which he waits at the door for in the mornings. He gets sooo excited when it arrives - that tells me everything I need to know. He absolutely loves going to the farm as he gets to run around with all his friends. We really like how they categorise dogs in size, age and energy levels so we know Charlie won't be bowled by bigger dogs or step on smaller ones accidentally. The whole team are friendly and really easy to communicate with. I have 100% trust in everyone involved and know Charlie is in safe hands from the moment that he gets picked up, to when he gets back home at the end of the day ❤️
We used Pets and Pats services for over 3 and half years for Mika - our now 4 year old Lagotto. Pets and Pats were very accommodating in that Mika wasn't spayed for the first 18 months, but was still allowed to attend (post a trial period) as long we kept her in at home for the time we was on heat. This pragmatic and professional approach was important to us as a working couple. For over 3 years - Pets and Pats never missed a pickup, and their communication and flexibility when life happened was top notch. They are a very reliable and dependable service.
Absolutely LOVE Pets & Pats Team. They have looked after my two girls for over a year now. The staff are so lovely and the bus drop off is so convenient. Our girls are knackered when they get home (both pointer x that need a lot of exercise!!) The grounds are a dogs paradise and the team absolutely love and care for all the dogs. Owner Ang is lovely and has helped us out when in a major pickle several times!! Our girls have also stayed over weekends many times. Any review which degrades the care or cleanliness of the dogs or property is absolutely rubbish. Our girls come home cleaner than when the left! The property is fully secure and wonderful. I have found no issues with communication with the team - in fact they put up with my slack communication so well. Highly Recommend x Thank you team we are so grateful for your care of our girls x
Pets and Pats is a home away from home for Lilli my wee dog who was welcomed into the family, and I mean into the family in all aspects. She slept with the other treasured dogs inside and the team was happy to accommodate her independent style. I have left Lilli with Pets and Pats since she was born and would not thinking of any other better place. The team care for her every need, food, rugs, grooming and cuddles. I know when I pick her up that she is healthy and happy. I searched for months visiting other places which do not match up to the wonder home with Pets and Pats. Security is big for me and I love that fences and places for all dogs of all sizes to run and play. Pets and Pats the best place ever!
Thank you so much to the Pets & Pats team for looking after our little boy. He absolutely loves Pets & Pats and is so ecstatic every time the Pup Bus comes to pick him up! We honestly couldn’t speak more highly of Pets & Pats. We recommend it to anyone with a loved pooch who is considering a day care. Here is wee Bohdi having fun out on the farm, having the freedom to run about and get as muddy as he likes!! (Because the wonderful Pets & Pats team clean him up before dropping him back home). The best day care ever!
If there was a Disneyland for dogs, Pets and Pats would be it. 😊 This is an awesome place where every pup is a four-legged family member. Angela, Jason and the Pets & Pats team are very caring and professional and absolutely always do their best for each of the dogs entrusted to their care both day care and lodging.
We have used Pawsome Dog Care twice now and highly recommend Michelle. She is so lovely and has taken such amazing care of our two dogs and the communication with photos and information of how they were doing while we have travelled overseas on one visit was outstanding. We have total peace of mind when our dogs stay and are so grateful whenever we need this care, they are loved and looked after as if they are part of Michelles family. Thanks so much Michelle and hope to see you again!
Planning a break had become quite a challenge as our Dusty Rose got older with many medical conditions. I felt at peace and was able to relax knowing she was being well cared for by true dog lovers. Michelle listened to my concerns, provided great communication with regular updates and photos. Dusty looks forward to staying again and visiting her friends. I highly recommend Pawsome Dog care for your elderly pup.
Our aging Dougal Dog does not do well in kennel situations, and it has been problematic finding care that suits him. Fortunately, while staying at Pawsome Dog Care, he has been very comfortable and happy with the same attentive and loving care he is used to getting from us. Dougal has stayed there twice so far, and we have booked him in for 2 more future stays. As we travel far to drop Dougal off we have been grateful for the flexibility shown by Michelle & Dale in arranging Drop off and Pick-ups times.
Pawsome takes great care of our dog Ted when we were away. Ted needs lots of attention with his inherited health issues, Pawsome loved and spoiled him every time during his stay. They did it so well like looking after their own dogs. High recommended and would definitely come back again!!
Michelle and her husband took wonderful care of our much loved 14 year old pug for two weeks over the 2023/24 Christmas/New Year period. Far and away our greatest concern about going away had been finding the best possible care for her. She is old, has physical disabilities and at the time also had a vital medication need. We stumbled across Pawsome Dog Care online and description on the website was exactly what I had hoped, but not expected, to find. I cannot speak highly enough of the level of care, attention and understanding Michelle and her husband gave to our pup. The regular updates we received were much appreciated and we really felt that our pup was part of their family for the period she was with them. A 5star rating, with appreciation and thanks.
Our timid dog was well looked after, and we had daily updates on how she was going. Michelle went the extra mile when we discovered that we forgotten to take food. Highly recommend Pawsome Dog Care
Michelle and her husband took great care of our 12 yr old dog for 2 weeks while we were out of the country. We received wonderful photo updates every day. They attended to our dog's arthritis and provided helpful advice from their experience caring for older dogs. He also really enjoyed the company of her friendly spaniels. He looked great when we picked him up. We will definitely ask Pawsome Dog Care to look after our dog the next time we go away and highly recommend them. Easy 5/5.
Our dog loves going to Pawsome Dog Care, and absolutely loves Michelle- and I feel relaxed in the knowledge that she will be just as loved there as she is at home! I so appreciate getting the daily updates and photos. Highly recommended!
Michelle and Frazer looked after my little elderly Japanese Chin Bentley like he was their own; sleeping on their bed and spending his days in the office with Frazer. Bentley spent 2 weeks at Pawsome, and came home happy and very relaxed - amazing really as he is quite an anxious wee chap. Knowing Bentley can go to Pawsome, and have such care (for his bad leg, skin issues, meds, separation anxiety etc) means the world to us, as we can go away on holiday knowing he's fine, and that means I'm not stressing out my whole trip! I'm so glad I found Pawsome, and I recommend to anyone with elderly dogs who need some extra care.
Pipi had a wonderful stay with Michelle and Frazer, it was so nice to drive away knowing she was being cared for by true dog lovers, and I loved getting the photo updates. I had miscalculated her food and they very kindly fed her the same raw food from their supplies. Nothing was too much trouble. Thank you so much!
Sarah has been caring for our two cats for a number of years and we couldn't recommended her more highly! The booking process is so incredibly easy and Sarah has the best communication. Our two fur babes are always so well looked after - thank you so much! ~ Olivia & Louis
Sarah walked our two miniature Dachshunds twice/three times a week for me after I had surgery. She was beyond wonderful, the dogs adored her and I felt relaxed and confident and totally trusted her with my boys! I would recommend her without hesitation.
I have used Wags 2 whiskers many times over a number of years. Sarah has never let me down and genuinely cares. This is the lady to look after your pet. Thank you for your care Sarah.
Sarah took our cavoodle Louie out for pack runs for many years. Louie adored her, and Sarah helped with his behavioural issues. Would highly recommend Wags 2 Whiskers.
Sarah is awesome - so good to know I can leave my elderly lab and know she is so well cared for . Super quick response, flexibility. Always follows up with a quick message and report on the weekend. Highly recommend.
Sarah is awesome, she is reliable, quick to communicate, and gives us a follow up as to how our 13 month old pup's outings have been. We can highly recommend :)
A very professional service. I have been using wags 2 whiskers for dog walking and cat care for the last few years. A company I fully trust.
Sarah is the ultimate animal whisperer. She has a natural affinity with animals. I wouldn't trust anyone but her with my fur babies.
Sarah is just wonderful walking our two cocker spaniels whenever we can’t - they love it!
We have been using the dog walking and pet sitting service this company offers for over 10 years. We recommend this company to all our friends. Can’t speak highly enough of tgem!
Amazing groom my little boy was so happy here he has been very anxious at grooms from a past groomer but the lady here was very gentle and patient with him
Don’t buy products from here, they are very poor quality, I was basically called a liar at reception. You have just lost a customer, will find another groomer, which is a shame, because Vicki is very good
My puppy attended daycare here for a few months and we had a wonderful experience. My puppy loved going there so much, would literally sprint to Central Bark as soon as she's out of the car!
You can happily leave your fur babies at Central Bark without worrying about anything. Their service is exceptional and are always welcoming. They are under a new management now but the quality of service is unchanged, just new faces. There is no more half day service so cannot by any packages for half day daycare. My dog always get excited to go there. Sure is his second home. They have cover parking with a door through to drop off your fur babies. Reception is always very helpful, ring them for any other info
The Central Bark Team work tirelessly to ensure our fur babies are having the very best and most comfortable stay, whilst their humans have to work. I can’t recommend you all enough; Basil adores his games and walks and most of all seeing all his furry companions & angel Aunties. Thank you for making this his all time favourite place. The love and attention you shower our wee man in, especially at the beginning when he was a little unsure, was reassuring and helped us get through the anxiety of leaving him for the first time. Heartfelt appreciation Team
Took my Puppy here for her haircut last week and it was the best she's had yet, we will definitely become regulars here. They asked me exactly how I wanted her to look, and they made sure that she had the best experience ever. Being a puppy she's very social and active but she came out looking absolutely amazing and I couldn't have wished for a better job. Amazing team and fabulous groomers in a wonderful space with plenty of parking for a quick dash in and out.
I would not recommend it if your fluffy family is a little too protective or not taught well as the instructor there is not trained enough to deal with them, were refused to be served there today and had to go somewhere else.
At last a dog day care / hotel actually IN THE CITY !! Great location with parking. Great premises, super clean and boutique like. It doesn’t feel like a dog factory like other day care centres. Great service & feedback from the staff, they are so caring. Our babies Raven & Phoenix are loving their weekly stay and so are we ! We definitely recommend Central Bark.
From the moment Central Bark opened it was clear that at the core of everything they do is a shared love of animals and their well being. My little dog was quite nervous for her first 6 sessions and the team at Central Bark really worked with her to make her more confident. Now she can't wait to get there and runs through the front door and straight up the ramp to get to her friends. I have also found her behaviour outside Central Bark has changed and she is more confident and happy all round. Thank you team Central Bark for making Miss P so happy!
Love Central Bark Parnell! The staff are always friendly, helpful and professional. It’s a great place for our puppy to play with other dogs or stay the night at the pet hotel whenever we are away. We always recommend CB to other dog owners we meet. Thanks for opening such a great facility Maggie!
