"My dachshund Ali has stayed at Pets in the City Wairau Park several times, staff are great and welcoming - Alfie gets through the door and can’t wait to get in. Highly recommend"

"Murphy and Cato recently stayed at Pets in the City Wairau for boarding with daycare, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff were warm, attentive, and clearly passionate about dogs. They took the time to get to know both Murphy and Cato’s personalities, which immediately put me at ease. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Pets in the City Wairau to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality dog boarding with daycare. Murphy and Cato will definitely be back!"

"Our 6 month old puppy had to stay for an extended period while we were away for family reasons. I was worried about leaving him at such a young age so started off with a day a week for a couple of weeks so he could get used to being there. He had an amazing time, made lots of friends and even picked up some new behaviours during his stay!"

"Our puppy Polar Bear loved being here when we went away for a week. He had an upset stomach while in there, and they took him to the vet and took great care of him. We will definitely be using them again."

"Excellent service, and so accommodating – going out of their way to assist when difficulties arise. We've never had any concerns when we've dropped our Lexi off to stay over the last ten years."

"Louis our miniature schnauzer had a great stay for a week. He was well looked after and we could enjoy our holiday without worrying about him. The daily photos on Facebook were great and we could see that he looked happy each day playing with his new friends."
