Barkers Park Boarding Kennels is a family-run dog boarding kennel at 16 Barkers Road in Brooklands, near Kaiapoi, north of Christchurch. It is just off State Highway 1, near Kaiapoi Lakes. The Sims family owns and runs it, with Petra Sims managing day-to-day operations. Petra also reviews every boarding enquiry.
Each dog has its own climate-controlled unit, and dogs from the same family can share one if they wish. There are outdoor exercise areas, and dog coats for cold weather. Meals are included unless a dog is on a special diet. Check-in hours are 9am to 11am or 4pm to 6pm, any day, and inspections are welcome during these hours. Charges are per day, with an extra $2 a night for entire dogs over 12 months, a $5 multi-dog discount, and a $2 long-stay discount for stays over 21 nights.
