Pet Sitting and Dog Daycare in Auckland

There will be days in Auckland when the dog cannot come: the Sky Tower, the museum, a vineyard lunch inside on Waiheke, a Waitākere Ranges walk that is closed to pets anyway. New Zealand's sitting market runs almost entirely through two online marketplaces rather than through kennels, and in-home boarding with a vetted sitter is both the norm and usually the better experience for a dog on holiday. Book several days ahead in December and January, which is the New Zealand summer break and the busiest sitting period of the year, and expect any sitter to ask for a vaccination record. If your hotel allows a dog to be left alone in the room, a daytime drop-in visit is often cheaper and less disruptive than a full day of daycare.
