Doggy day care at the sitter’s home

Day care for while you are away

A doggy day care sitter will provide day time supervision and loving care for your dog in their home.

Daycare is a perfect choice for giving your dog additional enrichment during the day. Our sitters can also offer puppy daycare to give your puppy additional socialisation while they are young.

The personalised experience our sitters provide means that your dog can enjoy their day in a relaxed and safe, home environment. This is a much better alternative to crowded commercial dog daycare centres.

Doggy Day Care

This was our 1st time using a dog boarding/daycare service. Yanling and Craig had my wee boy for 3 nights. They communicated with me every day, and checked in with me with everything they weren't sure about. Sent me daily updates and photos of how he was doing. I would highly recommend Yanling and Craig's dog boarding and daycare to anyone living in Christchurch over a kennel any day because of the 24-hour round the clock care! Especially if you have a dog that constantly needs human interaction. I'll be using their services again from here on in. Thank you both so much for looking after my wee man while I was away. He looked so happy and well looked after in your care.

I can't recommend Zane and Zuzu enough! Fox absolutely adores staying with them. It's evident that Zane has a wealth of experience with dogs. He's incredibly intuitive, always one step ahead in reading situations before they even arise. You can tell he genuinely has the dogs' best interests at heart. And Zuzu? Such a sweetheart, he adds even more fun to the mix. What truly sets Zane apart is his genuine love for dogs. He treats every furry friend in his care with the same level of love and attention as if they were his own. If you're looking for a caring and experienced pet sitter who will treat your dog like family, look no further. Fox can't wait for his next stay!

Frequently asked questions

Your doggy day care questions answered

What is doggy daycare?

Doggy daycare is day time care for your dog in the sitter’s home. Depending on the sitter you choose, you can also opt for specialised puppy daycare instead.

Is doggy daycare good for my dog?

Doggy daycare is great for giving your dog additional enrichment instead of leaving them alone during the day. For puppies, they would especially benefit from puppy daycare while they are learning to socialise.

Will the doggy daycare sitter keep me posted about how my pet is doing?

Yes, your doggy daycare sitter will send you daily text and photo updates through Pawshake or your preferred choice of communication. This is included as part of your booking and there is no additional cost required.
