Reviews of Pets and Pats

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 absolutely love pets and pats and how much it helps us out with our energetic puppy. Our fur baby Saint has been going for nearly 2 months and it’s been amazing. It’s amazing for us because the day after he’s at doggy daycare he’s always knocked out the day after which gives us a nice little break. The team are AMAZING there, one of the ladies puts him in the car after his long day running around at daycare and tells me how good he’s been and what he’s been doing which is really nice to hear and puts my mind at ease knowing he’s socialising really well with other dogs. We love how there’s a pool there because we don’t have one at home and letting him off leash at the beach is a bit scary since he’s still a puppy so having him learn the swim there is really helpful. Sending him to daycare has been really good because he’s also not sitting at home waiting for us to come home from work he’s out and about running around with all his friends. Would definitely recommend!

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.

Paddington almost pulled the lady over in his mad excitement to get up the driveway and into the van this morning! Absolutely no doubt he knows where he's going and can't wait to get there. Thanks Pets and Pats for being able to fit him in earlier, he loves his days with you - a huge woof woof from Paddington too!

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!

We feel so incredibly lucky that Lolly is part of the Pets and Pats family. We normally find it so hard to go away and relax because we’re worried about Lolly. It’s so nice to know that at Pets and Pats Lolly is loved and cared for just as she would be at home and that she is having such an amazing time with all the dogs and the Pets and Pats team! The team upload so many photos and are very responsive to all messages / emails! You are never left wondering what your dog is up to! Every time Lolly comes home from Pets and Pats she is happy and goes straight to sleep - we just know she has had the most incredible time. I couldn't recommend Pets and Pats highly enough!

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!

I cannot recommend Pets and Pats highly enough. After a meet and greet with Angela and tour of the amazing facilities we immediately felt comfortable with enrolling our 3 month old for day care knowing that he would be in a group with dogs of a similar size and always under supervision. It's the highlight of his day when the pup bus comes to collect him in the morning and he just can't contain his excitement. We love how easy and low fuss it is to rearrange what days he attends, and how responsive the team are. The daily updates on Instagram are also great!

Ange & her wonderful team at Pets & Pats have made us feel like part of the family. When we had a sudden illness in the family this year Ange reassured me they could look after my 9 month old puppy Willow at very short notice and made everything much easier for us during this time. I am so grateful for this. Knowing WIllow has so much space and love around her is very comforting giving me peace of mind, happy dog happy life.!The communication amongst the wider team - drivers/ lodging/ daycare is very good , reliable & hugely appreciated. Thank you so much team. Love Kate & Willow

The team at Pets and Pats are professional, friendly and caring. Angela and Jason make you feel welcome from day 1 and I would like to commend Jade and Donna they are an asset to Pets and Pats. Romeo our Maltese Yorkshire Poodle is in the Tiny tots group and goes to day care 3 days a week. The team have been fantastic with his care and helping him to socialise with other dogs and humans. The team post videos and photos to keep you updated on the days events. We highly recommend Pets and Pats to anyone looking for a professional day care for their precious family pets. Thank you Pets and Pats team 🐶❤️🐶❤️🐶

Highly recommend Pets and Pats for doogy dare care and lodging! Our girl loves it here - so much fun with all the space and outdoor fun with other dogs. Angela and her team are lovely - great communication, highly professional and, most importantly, they truly seem to care about the wellbeing of our dog.

Angela and her team are amazing. I cannot speak highly enough of them. Our Lhasa Apso x was becoming more and more anxious and fearful around other dogs. He had previously been attacked by a larger dog. We went and met with Angela at Pets and Pats and were shown around and a very detailed explanation of how the daycare was given to us.The property is amazing. We tried Syd for a half day and he came home exhausted and happy. Angela's team slowly introduced Syd to other dogs. Each week Syd's confidence grew and he would get very excited when he was collected by the doggy bus. He has lodged there also and was looked after so well. He returned happy and tired. Syd has gained his confidence back and loves mixing with other dogs and is much happier. Angela's team have a wealth of experience and just love the dogs they look after. It has been an absolutely fabulous experience for Syd being with them and I would highly recommend them to anyone who was looking for daycare that is outstanding.

Miss Maggie has just got home for a stay at Pets and Pats and she had such a great time I'm not sure she was ready to come home. Angela and the team looked after her so well and she had such a great time. Thank you as always team. Maggie is also a regular daycare kid and has so much fun playing with her friends and the team. I wouldn't send her anywhere else. Angela, Claire, Dave and the team thank you from Maggie and I xx

Pets and Pats is a huge spacious property which is safely gated and has many facilities that the dogs can use! They have a tennis court, open paddocks, a massive swimming pool and the staff are also super friendly! The staff have very good communication skills and are very reassuring! The dogs are always professionally managed, they are always supervised by experienced dog handlers who are also super loving to the dogs! Pets and Pats is just one big family and I've never felt so welcomed and cared for! The staff create such strong bonds with their dogs that Pets and Pats becomes their second home! They really prioritise dog safety over anything! They will go to extreme lengths to make sure your dog comes home happy and safely!

Our dogs love Pets and Pats. They come home happy and tired and we love knowing that on the days we can’t be home with them, they are living their best lives on a farm with lots of mates. The convenience of the pup bus and being able to also have lodging when we are away with people they know and love is really awesome too.

As a former team member at Pets and Pats I will never be able to praise this place highly enough! We love every single dog that comes into our care and treat them as though they were our own. We really do strive to have the best relationships not only with the dogs but with the owners as well. The dogs are able to run and play to their hearts content and get endless cuddles. With having a dog exclusive pool, tennis court and 3 massive paddocks for the dogs to enjoy. Angela and Jason have given their home to do something that they love and it really does show with how much work, effort and love they put into Pets and Pats. I would never want to send my dog or any other dog anywhere but here.

Ange, Jason and the amazing Pets and Pats team have a very special place in my heart. My sharpei x, Bruno, was a rescue who had a bit of a tough start in life. Together with the patience, guidance and care of the Pets and Pats team, we showed Bruno that the world can be a fun and safe place for a doggy when he's surrounded by humans who understand him, give him some boundaries, and encourage his goofiness. I couldn't have done this without the Pets and Pats team. They are doggy angels <3

Our dog, Blaze adores his time at Pets and Pats! He is a high energy Vizsla and the farm environment is perfect for him to play all day. When they say ‘Disneyland for dogs’ I believe this to be very true for Blaze; tennis courts with balls being shot, farm land, a pool and an incredible team who are passionate and knowledgeable about dogs. Ange, Jason, Helison and the team at Pets and Pats are very highly thought of in our house. We love knowing that our precious family member is having the time of his life!

Angela, Jason and the team have been looking after Richie (lab / viszla cross) since he was a puppy and he can't get enough of the place. As a "high energy" dog, he loves the open spaces and freedom to play - and with the expertise on hand to make sure he and his mates are properly looked after and guided. The door-to-door service is priceless for our house and being able to board means we know that Richie is safe and happy when the rest of the family is on holiday. Also, the PnP team have been really flexible when plans have changed, adapting when they can when unavoidable last minute changes have happened (eg cancelled / delayed flights, family emergencies).

Shires only been there once, though I feel I can say this is a fantastic daycare for dogs. It's the only place where I've been shown around the area and informed of all the ins and outs. Of course Shire came home exhausted too which is always a bonus. Highly recommend.

So impressed with Pets and Pats. I'm not the best at leaving my fur baby but as soon as I went there and had a tour of the property and chatted to the staff, I just had no worries at all leaving him there. He loves it and I couldn't ask for more. You can tell Angela and the team genuinely care about each dog and love what they do. Highly recommended :)

Skye has been going to Pets and Pats for nearly two years. We appreciate the safe and caring environment that Angela, Olivia and the team provide. Skye goes to daycare and also lodges at Pets and Pats if we have to go away. Last year we were unavoidably away for Skye’s 1st Birthday which made us very sad. It was wonderful to receive photos of Skye at her “ birthday party” with balloons, “Happy Birthday banner” and a group pic of her and all her mates enjoying the occasion. Our anxiety at leaving her for 4 weeks was full on and it was SO comforting to know she is safe and happy running, swimming and playing with all her friends. Our experience has consistently been that the team at Pets and Pats love and prioritise the dogs in their care - whether it is daycare or lodging. The team also understands owners. We have found the Pets and Pats team to be 100% professional in their dealings with us. Skye has known her well qualified “ handler” at Pets and Pats, Olivia most of her short life and she is so so excited when Olivia comes to collect her for daycare. It feels like the Pets and Pats team is part of our family. Highly recommend.

Pets and Pats looked after our dog Jet for four weeks and we were able to go away knowing that he was being well looked after and not locked up in a kennel. Pets and pats posted photos of our dog every day and he looked like he was having the best time. We can't thank you enough for the wonderful service you provided for our dog. I would highly recommend Pets and Pats to all dog owners.

Absolutely fabulous experience with Angela and Pets and Pats. Our Samoyed dog is very well looked after, whether it's daycare or overnight stays. He is better socialised since his stays there, and comes home and sleeps for two days as he's had so much stimulation and exercise. Angela and her team are very passionate about providing truly the best experience for your fur friends. I would recommend them to anyone who knows their pets can't be left with just anyone, they deserve the very best.

My fur baby, Dracus, goes to Pets and Pats and has been there since mid last year, his reaction when the school bus arrives to pick him up shows how happy he is at the day care. Angela and the team takes good care and are very friendly and are quick to respond to any queries. I'm a happy mum of a happy fur baby. I strongly recommend Pets and Pat to all pet mums and dad who would would like to have a home away from home for their fur babies.

A wonderful farmstay for Marco. He loves it and we love it! The Pets and Pats team, under the guidance of Angela are excellent. Their love of their guests (the dogs!) and their guest's parents is superb. They send regular updates and photos which is always fun to receive! Marco has had many happy holidays at Pets and Pats and we know he will have many more. Very highly recommended.

Minnie has the best time at Pets and Pats ... both day-stays and overnights. I feel completely confident she is in the best care possible. Thanks to the team - awesome service x

We wouldn't consider leaving our baby with anyone else but Pets and Pats. We have peace of mind when we leave him because we know he'll be in very good hands 😁 We've tried other daycare centres before but Pets and Pats is literally doggy disneyland. If you want your dogs to have just as much of a holiday as you, then definitely would recommend them! Both Angela and Jason (the owners) are very hands on and treat the dogs just as their own.

These guys are truly special. A dedicated team and great facilities. Space to run, cuddles and appropriate size and temperament friends to play with in a safe and supervised environment we can relax knowing our pup is happy and safe and the door to door service is a life saver.

Django loves racing around the big open spaces with the other big dogs. He was nervous at first but the staff are awesome and helped him settle really well. The Puppybus is so convenient and a fantastic service. Thanks so much for the wonderful caring service you provide.

Poppy always has a great time at Pets and Pats. Although she is pleased to see us again, we know she is extremely well looked after and, from Angela's photos, it is obvious Poppy enjoys the company of the other dogs and the staff. As devoted dog owners, we are very happy with the care Poppy receives at Pets and Pats.

My mini pinscher has been very happily going to P&P on weekdays for almost eight years, with many longer stays when I’m on holiday. He’s always delighted to be picked up - and he doesn’t warm to just anyone! They’ve proactively identified any signs of health issues, are very responsive and helpful, and I’ve never had a moment’s worry when he is in their care. Highly recommend Angela, Mr Fox and the team.

My fur baby has been going to Pets and Pats for a couple of years and absolutely loves it. She goes to Doggy Day Care a couple of days a week and gets picked up and delivered in the school van. She get very excited when she sees it pull in the driveway. She also has Farm Stays when we go overseas. These are often as long as a month and I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Angela and her team. They are absolutely magnifenct in the care and love they show the dogs. The property is amazing with lots of space and farmland to run around in and cosy areas when the weather in not so good. There is also dog training on hand if required. Pets and Pats ticks all the boxes and then some for the wonderful work they do. Robbie Bagnall.

We are clients of Pets & Pats since their beginning. We are so appreciative of the care the team at Pets & Pats provide our fury gang. We know they are loved and well cared for. They are as passionate about our gang as we are, and treat them as their own when in their care. We cherish the peace of mind Pets & Pats give us that our ones are happy and safe. There is no better place than Pets & Pats Farm for your fury clan to feel at home when you cannot be there.

Angela is delightful to deal with and our dog Oliver has been to stay twice, once as a puppy and once last week. Fantastic to have a doggy school bus pick him up and drop him off. Loved seeing photos of him on FB when we were away. He got to socialise with a small number of similar dogs and I think he will be missing Pets and Pats this week! His holiday looked fabulous. I would definitely recommend

This place is amazing, Bob our Schnauzer has been going to Pets and Pats farm since it begun, I can honestly say it has been one of the best choices we have made for him. As he is an older dog he was becoming a bit "set in this ways" the farm and daycare sessions have taught him to be independent when he needs to be and also how to be social, have fun with other dogs, and it has certainly bought the young dog out in him again. He has been unconditionally loved and cared for by everyone there, the freedom of the farm is definelty a bonus and a welcoming change in regards to dog care. Angela and the team have set up a home away from home for the dogs. Great place I highly recommend!!

Sensational, highly recommend. We have had nothing but an absolutely fantastic service and expiriance with Pets and Pat's. The staff are amazing to talk to, give us daily updates on our dog. They tell us about her adventures, her cheeky miss behaving and how much they enjoy her being there. We have often spoken to a staff member for probably too long,just chatting away having pleasant conversations with them. The owner of the business we felt had bent over backwards to accommodate us, even with short notice. She is a wonderful person who quite often will stop and tell us how good our dog has been and how she appriciated us and our dog. We both love the family photos we get on facebook. It's amazing to see our dog playing and being silly with the staff and other dogs. Maybe once a month or so they hand us some printed photos to go in our photo album, which is fantastic. We love getting them. The farm is sensational. Our dog gets to run outside all day, play in the water, play with the other similar size dogs. It is so nice to not have the dog put in a concrete cell for hours of the day. The thought of that put us off every other day care in Auckland. We send our dog to the day care 4-5 times a week, and she goes mental when she sees the front gates, often hanging out the window trying to say hello to the dog handlers. We have used the lodging once for a 5 day weekend. We got photos from the guys every day we were away showing how much fun our dog was having with them, probably more fun than we us(sad to say) but we view the services they provide as essential to the happiness of our dog. Since we have been going we have had nothing but exceptional service that feels personal and open. Thank you Pets and Pat's. Sincerely.

Both my dogs attend daycare weekly and go absolutely bananas when the funbus arrives. They also love getting to sleepover when we have to travel. Staff are friendly and professional and any changes or news are communicated to us promptly. Thanks!

Can’t rate Pets & Pats highly enough! At very short notice I needed to leave town for a family emergency. Not only did Angela & her crew look after my fur baby, but knowing what was going on for me she stayed in contact to make sure I was okay as well. Tilly & I are extremely grateful to have Angela & the Pets & Pats team as part of our extended family!

We were recommended to Pets and Pats by our vet and have had a wonderful experience with their very professional and understanding service . Our pugs came back very happy when with other carers in the past they have been depressed for a couple of days and tails straight !!! Angela sent pictures of my spoilt pugs in their lovely environment which clearly suited them perfectly - I'm sure they felt like they had a room upgrade !! They are chauffer driven to their home stay and back so no stress when you are busy with going away plans . I had a few glitches also and Angela was outstanding with her understanding . I am relieved to have found pets and pats finally and will continue to ask for their service as we will be travelling more frequently and for longer periods . Thank you Pets and Pats ❤️❤️❤️

I cannot recommend Pets and Pats highly enough. Baci, our somewhat anxious dog, has come along in leaps and bounds since starting daycare at Pets and Pats. He drags me to the van when Anne arrives to pick him up - that in itself is fabulous not driving across town to drop him. He then spends a fabulous day socialising in a very safe and caring environment. The fact that Angela temperament checks all new guests is such a huge bonus. He is so much more confident now having this wonderful exposure to other dogs. He loves to swim so having a property with a fabulous pool is the icing on the cake for our water crazy boy!! If spending a day at a fabulous property plus the pool isn't enough being able to lodge him with Angela and the team is a huge bonus no crates for their house guests just a warm and loving home. Angela, Anne, Claire and the team are for us a godsend and we can't thank them enough for the care and love they show Baci

Pets and Pats have looked after my loved furry ones since the beginning. They get so excited when the teams arrive to take them out-they jump around, cuddle and kiss the team which they would only do if they knew they were in for yet another "time of their lives" day. I am totally secure that their health and safety is foremost in their pets and Pats care. No place could be better for them.

Cannot recommend this boutique luxury lodge for pooches highly enough! Our small white fluffy is a weekly regular and it's the highlight of her week. Like all the dogs there, she gets absolute VIP treatment and loves all the amazing facilities....even better she comes back as clean as she left. Such a great service by wonderful caring, trained staff, nothing quite like it in Auckland.

Hands down, the best doggy day care in Auckland! It's like a country club for dogs and I always have storm returned happy and healthy. When I was away overseas, I was sent pictures of storm every day so I could seewhat he was up to (via fb). They really care about dogs. I wouldn't send him anywhere else as he loves being outside! the rest of the pups there are lovely too! x

Angela you are truly amazing. Your care and passion for taking care of our dogs is unbelievable. What's not to love at Pets and Pat's. Acres for them to run, play and jump! Oh then there's the swimming pool, the tennis court to chase an endless stream of tennis balls. To end the day they fall asleep snuck and sound in Angela's home. Thank you Angela and your team.

Our puppy loved this place! Fantastic professional staff and happy dogs/puppies. Lots of room for the dogs to play outside, roll in the grass and run after their mates! They even have a pool for the dogs. This place is paradise for dogs/puppies.

I would highly recommend Pets and Pats. We always know our puppy is in great hands, they care for all the dogs like they are their own. The facilities and the team are exceptional!

What a fabulous place to send my boys, knowing they will be looked after as well as they would be at home. Angela and Team are so accommodating to my 'Special Needs' pooch. They can run, play, swim and snuggle up on the sofa in front of the TV like they are at home. I cannot recommend them enough. 👍

Thank you Angela and team for helping me out at 4am in the morning and I appreciate Dobbie and Bailey having their own Christmas getaway on your farm. After visiting the farm and meeting the team I would recommend Pets and Pats to every dog owners I know, because you just know when you meet another dog lover

Very secure and large property, dogs are free to roam with their buddies and the team that care for them, hang out in the sun and relax. My two love being able to sniff all the trees and bushes, see their friends (two legged and four!) and have a good day out on the farm while I'm working.

Top quality care in secure, caring, doggy resort surroundings. Our puppy always has a great time here. The staff are wonderful

Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Angela and Jason and their crew to look after anyone's dog/s. I have no hesitation in trusting them with my two furbabies and there is only a handful of people I would even consider to trust them with. Signed one very fussy doggy mum.

From our family to yours. Much love until we can bring chico back to the farm. You have always gone out of your way to accommodate my early starts, missed flights, last minute changes to the schedule, and downturns. Hope you'll still be there for us all when times get brighter. Stay safe guys xx

Amazing team who looked after my dog while his mum and I were overseas. The human interaction is an important part of a good kennel. Great location.

Our Mr Archie had such an awesome time with the team at Pets and Pats. Thanks so much for looking after him. He was so relaxed when he got home. Will be back for our weekly visit xx
