Executive Administrator & Health & Fitness Consultant
Rochelle and Lawrence took excellent care of our three year old cockapoo, Gryffin. They were very organized prior to the sit and confirmed arrival/departure times well in advance. They sent great photos during the sit and I could tell Gryffin was in good hands. The house was left clean and I could tell Gryffin really liked them when we got home. Thanks again for giving Gryffin so much love while we were away!
Natacha

We pride ourselves in our cleanliness and the care for your animals
Natacha & Johnathan were the perfect house sitters! From the start they were excellent with their communication, asked all the right questions about looking after the flat/cats and were super flexible when dates slightly changed for us which was really appreciated. Zorro & Sambi clearly loved their company and we received plenty of updates throughout our trip away. Then to top it all off we came home to a spotless flat and a little treat from NZ! I'd recommend Natacha & Johnathan to anyone looking for a sit & would welcome them back any time!! x

A worry-free sit. This is the second time we have booked with them - and we will be booking again for our long holiday next year. Thank you Gerry and Nui.

Ideal house and animal sitters for peace of mind and security
Maria & Frank were wonderful looking after our house and dog Paddy. With a road closure, Frank flew over to look after Paddy on time while Maria joined him later on. Paddy was walked often and loved by them and was very happy and in good shape when we returned. The house was clean and tidy when they left and we have no hesitation recommending Frank & Maria and using them again.
Eric
Providing Pet Sitting in the Wellington City, New Zealand
Recently retired - just getting started - again!
What a fantastic couple! Eric and Lesley were extremely self sufficient and excited to explore the city of Brisbane while engaged in this sit. They created a wonderful bond with our dog, Chester, and looked after our house beautifully. We arrived back to a delicious home cooked dinner, a happy and contented dog and an immaculate home. We could not have asked for more!!! Eric and Lesley are everything you could want as Zeewoi and we would highly recommend them for future sits.

Pet-loving travel writer with NZ/UK citizenship.
Cat was the perfect house sitter. We were absolutely confident leaving our home and dog in her care. She is delightful to deal with, adored our Labrador Alfie (who is still missing her endless cuddles and long walks on Wimbledon Common), kept our house immaculate and was a very calm head in a mini-crisis. We would welcome her back into our home in a heartbeat.
Reviews from Pet Owners
Mike
Mary was fantastic from start to finish and looked after our elderly dog with love and attention to her needs. She also looked after our home with respect and care. We couldn't have asked for a nicer sitter and would highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs.
Barbara
Lisa and her friend Sara were amazing pet and house sitters! We can't say enough great things about them - our pets were so calm when we returned from our trip and so happy... Lisa and Sara kept in touch with us regularly and sent us beautiful photos of the pets as well. We returned to a spotless home, fresh flowers and a note with polaroids of Soy, Calvin and Chickie! We absolutely loved hosting Lisa and Sara and highly recommend them, they are some of the best sitters we have ever had and they're welcome back anytime!!
Robert & Rebecca
Angela did a great job caring for Willie for 10 days while we were out of town. She was easy to communicate with and kept us informed about Willie, along with sending photos of him out on walks and at the beach. Angela was very accomodating when we needed to come home a day early - Thank you! The house was left in good shape and it's clear that Angela is organized and reliable and clearly loves her pet charges. I'd recommend Angela and will definitely include her as one of our top sitter choices in the future! Thanks again, Angela!
Ericka
Leah was an excellent pet sitter and take care of our home when we were on vacation. Our dogs were sad when she left. She even made us some delicious tacos when we got home from the airport! We highly recommend her!
Sarah
Mary Jessica was a wonderful house and pet sitter for our GIANT dog Mamma Mia. She took extremely good care of our house with it cleaner than we left it upon our return. Our neighbors remarked on all the walks she gave Mamma and Mamma seemed very pleased with the entire experience. Mary Jessica was self sufficient, needing very little instruction outside of our Welcome Guide. She followed everything I wrote and asked how much communication I’d want. I’m very pleased and would both recommend her and love to have her again.
Chris
Great pet care. The house was clean and tidy. The sitters had great communication. Would recommend again!
Suzanne
Melanie and Steve were excellent house & pet sitters. They sent me so many pictures of my 3 cats without me even asking and it made me so happy to see them enjoying their company. I'd say out of all the house sitters I've had, they spent the most time with my cats which means a lot to me. They are kind, easy to connect with and I'd welcome them back anytime. As far as caring for my house - top notch.
Shonagh
Duncan was an excellent pet sitter and looked after our old girl Cookie really well.
Lynne
Deboraj took great care of the apartment and of our goofy unsociable cat. She went out of her way to bring catnip and make friends with Rowan. She communicated often and cared to be as good a house and pet sitter as could be. I can gladly recommend her highly to anyone else looking. Thank you Deborah.
Laurie
Debra was a Great pet and house sitter !! She communicated well throughout our long trip and sent us frequent pictures of all of our pets. She watered our plants and brought in all the mail. Our home was immaculate when we arrived home and the dogs and cat were super happy !! I would recommend Debra as a wonderful, responsible and reliable pet and house sitter !

Salty Dogs Dog Minding Service
Recent Reviews:
Catherine took care of our Kobe for two weeks whilst we were overseas, and he seemed so happy playing on the beach and in the lounge with the other pups. When Kobe became unexpectedly ill, Catherine promptly took him to the local vet and kept us informed every step of the way. Thank you so much Catherine for your care and attention!
We highly recommend Catherine for doggy daycare and boarding. Charlie was a timid dog when she joined daycare and has benefitted from regular socialisation with other dogs and she adores Catherine! Charlie just spent 10 days happily boarding with Catherine in a safe and loving home environment. Charlie was well cared for and happy on our return. Catherine provides a top service and we love the regular photos and videos of their adventures. Thanks Greg & Edwina
Catherine took such great care of our dog who came back happier than ever! She maintained constant communication including photos and videos of our dog on a regular basis and was very careful to meet her every need. Our dog received a wide range of outings and overall had a great time in Catherine’s care. Would highly recommend Salty Dogs!
Catherine took great care of Nessie our 2 year old dog while we were away on a recent holiday. From the start Catherine’s approach and understanding of dogs was immediately reassuring that Nessie would be both well cared for and have a good time. Nessie settled really quickly in Catherine’s home and with the other dogs. We received photos & videos of the dogs out walking, exploring new dog parks and relaxing at home almost daily. Nessie was clearly having a exceedingly good time and was being well cared for. I highly recommend Catherine as a dog minder and we would definitely leave Nessie with her again.
The service Catherine provides at Salty Dogs is fantastic and this is evident in how excited our little cavoodle is to go there. We get sent photos and videos of the various adventures the dogs get to go on during the day. I think it’s fair to say that the time our dog spends at daycare with her friends is the highlight of her week.
Catherine is amazing and has provided so much love, kindness and support for our dogs, present and for our recently departed boy. We are blessed to have her in our lives, Poppy loves the walks when we are at work for the day.
Our dog Squid is our princess. We were worried about taking her from the daycare she's been at for 12 years to move onto somewhere new. Salty Dogs has exceeded our expectations in every way. We would never have thought that for the same price, Squid would get one on one attention (as opposed to 20:1 attention), two walks a day, quality sofa snuggles and in the care of Catherine, who clearly is a dog person. Squid loves Catherine who recognises her needs as an older girl, so much so that Squid HOOTS with excitement on the drive to Salty Dogs. We should have moved her sooner. 100% recommend.
I was so thrilled to have my precious boy dropped off after spending a lovely weekend with Catherine. He came home relaxed and happy. Catherine sent me lots of photos and a video of Reggie running around the beach. I would highly recommend Catherine.
My dog Hero had such a fun time with Catherine and Hugo, he was happy and relaxed throughout and has been very expressive since he came home and keen to play. He really enjoyed spending time with the other friendly dogs, and I enjoyed the nice updates from Catherine every day. Thank you Hero will be back to play soon!
I've used Catherine's services twice now. My pooch had a blast, he was well cared for and regularly exercised. Catherine also provided updates with photos and videos of their adventures. Very please and highly recommend! 😊 …
The Dog Bach Boarding Kennels
Recent Reviews:
I used to kennel my dogs here but sadly they have died. Tracy runs a wonderful business caring. At the moment I've been taking a friend's dog out from there to walk at Makara Beach once a week while my friends the owners are away. Tracy has been very supportive of my doing this.
What a lovely place. The team are wonderful, and the facilities are excellent. I just wish Fred was a bit more happy to come home when I pick him up. He might be having too much fun at Doggy Camp.
I have been taking my girl Maggie to Dog Bach since she was little. Tracy and her team are all wonderful, kind, and caring and I have never worried about leaving Maggie in their care. Communication is excellent and prompt. Book early as this is a smaller kennel, but well worth the drive out to Mākara. Best kennel in Wellington!
Haven't been yet but as we are going to pick up both our new puppies next weekend we will definitely be training them and bringing them here during our overseas trip. I loved all the reviews and look forwarded to bringing our beautiful babies to use :) can't wait to meet the team.
Our golden retriever has stayed at the Dog Bach several times over the past year as we carry out home renovations - sometimes for 2 weeks at a time. Tracy and the team are wonderful, we know he is well cared for, in clean and safe facilities and has a great time. The team really care about the dogs in their care and ensure they have good play mates! Would definitely recommend them, but give them plenty of notice as they are always in demand!
What a great place! You can really tell that the staff love dogs--good vibes. Tracy was so helpful and friendly. I boarded my pup for a week. She got to play with a lot of other dogs. The facility is clean and well managed. I highly recommend Dog Bach :)
Probably not really relevant! It's years since been here! But worked here for the couple who owned the Ridgebacks! 🐕🐕 Loved it! 💛 They were great to work for!👍 Also was an amazing walk we use to take dog's🦮 down to like a waterfall swimming area! 🌊 Was great! Enjoyed my time here!🙂 As I'm sure the people who have it now do! 👋
Yuli checked in at The Dog Bach last week, and when we picked her up after 5 days she was happy and well. The place looks great, bathed in green with lots of fresh air. The team is professional and attentive, and they took excellent care of our girl. Will definitely use them again.
Pickles had a pretty cool holiday at the Dog Bach. He gets very well looked after and it's always such a treat going to pick him up and see how happy he has been. Thanks Tracy and the team! We look forward to booking in Pickles for his next summer vacation.
Excellent service - they went above and beyond expectations - and reasonably priced. My dogs came away in a playful, happy mood, and I will certainly be using their services again. Recommended.
