Gone to the Dogs is a dog and cat boarding, daycare and grooming business on a historic property on State Highway 58 in Judgeford, north of Porirua. It is set on lush, sprawling paddocks, and it calls itself a camp destination for pets, with indoor and outdoor space for each animal.
Dogs get their own kennel with a morning and afternoon exercise, and daycare runs play time in the morning and afternoon with a quiet midday break. Dogs that are not social are taken for walks in the back paddocks instead, with one-on-one time with staff. Cats have single or double pens, with freedom to roam the cattery during the day. The staff are certified in pet first aid and handle animals in a low-stress, force-free way.
Grooming covers full grooms, breed styling, nail trims and ear cleaning. A morning drop-off fee of $10.50 applies, as at 2026, and the business notes that prices rise each year on 1 April. Discounts apply after the first month of regular visits and on stays longer than 21 days. Bookings are made online through its booking system, and clients can log in to manage their own stays.
