Te Amo Kennels is a dog boarding kennel on Bethells Road in Waitākere, West Auckland, set in a quiet rural spot. It takes dogs from puppies to senior dogs, and says dietary and medical needs are catered for. The kennels run paddocks, a pool and play with other dogs, and the website says it posts photos of the dogs on Facebook. One customer says the kennel takes only 12 dogs at a time. The kennels are offering a home away from home, with regular human company.
Customers say the owners, Sam and her team, are caring and good communicators, and that dogs come home happy and healthy. Some say a dog was washed and had its claws trimmed during a stay, and that Samantha has helped with training and advice. Some owners travel more than an hour to use the kennel, and one says it is the best they have used. A nervous puppy and a dog that had never stayed in kennels both settled in well.
