West Auckland’s favourite Doggy Day Care and Boarding
You won’t find a better home away from home for your furry friends! Bark Avenue Doggy Day Care & Pet Hotel is an alternative to traditional pet boarding kennels. We aim to provide a luxury hotel environment for both cats and dogs. Our passion for animals is unmatched.
Your dog will love our spacious 3000 square metre facility and will be able to play all day long while you are away! We provide specific areas for small, medium and large dogs and have plenty of room for play in both indoor and outdoor areas. Sofas and beds are provided for guests to nap on throughout the day, with our staff supervising at all times.
For your peace of mind and security the entire premises is also monitored by CCTV.

Play indoor and outdoor
At Bark Avenue we understand the dog psyche and their need to exercise. We provide specific areas for small, medium and large dogs and have plenty of room for play in both indoor and outdoor areas.
Boredom leads to destructive behaviours like chewing, digging, or barking, and play keeps a dog’s body and mind active. An active dog is a happy dog and our goal is for your pet to have as much fun as possible!
Tailored care for your dog
Your dog will spend their rest times relaxing in their own comfortable indoor apartment. All units are custom made and comply with the standard recommendations and have tempered glass doors to allow your pet to have a clear view of what is happening.
With your dog’s comfort as our priority we have comfy raised beds to elevate your dog and individual bedding is provided to give them a good night’s sleep after a full day of play.
