Doggy Nose Best is a family-run dog daycare and boarding service at 15 Brunton Place in Glenfield, Auckland. The website says dogs stay in the family's own home, with time on the couch and in the garden, and at least one walk in the local forest each day. A family member is always on site. The service offers daycare, overnight boarding and longer stays, including stays of several weeks or months. There are no kennels, and only a handful of dogs are cared for at a time. Every dog must have a meet and greet before its first booking, and puppies are considered individually, depending on their age, temperament and care needs.
Reviewers mention photo and video updates, dog walks and last-minute availability most often. One customer says it felt more like a loving home than a daycare, and that the dogs are treated like family. Another says the family sent photos of the walks each day, and looked after a dog that is not the easiest to have around. A third, whose beagle would rather stay at home, says it was the best daycare they had found for times when they had to be away.
