What owners say
This was our little boy's first long stay away and needless to say, I was quite nervous. From the time of drop-off to pick up, the amazing team at Waglands provided great assurance that Benjamin was well loved and taken care off! The Educa app, that provided daily updates was a great win so I could keep up with the fury friends adventures. For a team that loves your fur-baby as much as you do and for a team that can be trusted to provide all the care when you're away, I highly recommend Waglands! 5/5 stars is certainly not enough - I know Benji is already waiting for his next stay!

The Waglands staff and doggy play areas are second to none. Our dog absolutely loves his days there and comes home super happy and ready for a good nap. Highly recommend!

We have entrusted Ben and the Waglands team to look after our active dog Pip over the last five years. They consistently seem to provide a great experience for her and she is always keen to get out of the car for her next stay there! Also she also settles back into home life again very quickly, even if we have been away a few weeks. The service provided by the entire team is top notch, with friendly, obliging and professional staff. We highly recommend Waglands! There is also a great retail area there and we buy our K9 natural dog food from them too.

We emailed Waglands after hours when we had a last minute family emergency and wanted to kennel our dog the next day. Within a couple of hours I had a text message and an email back. Drop off was easy, their van is amazing, too. Our pup had a bath whilst there and came back the cleanest he’s ever been, shedding a lot less too. Most importantly, we got a report card about how he’d been, and he came back with a really good energy about him, the kind he has when he’s had a good time playing at his regular doggy day care, so we knew he’d enjoyed it. Waglands cost a little more than some kennels but are so worth it.

Waglands are absolutely brilliant at what they do. My dog loves it there, and always comes home well looked after and relaxed. Their website is great, and everything is very organised. The staff are very friendly, and I always feel comfortable leaving my dog there, knowing he will be well looked after by professionals. Best dog holiday retreat in New Zealand by far (and my dog has been to quite a few). We are lucky to have them in Wellington. Thank you so much for providing your excellent service.
