Kumeu Boarding Kennels is a pet boarding and daycare business at 160 Hanham Road in Kumeu, on 14 acres of park-like grounds. It is 20 minutes from the Auckland CBD and five minutes from the Kumeu A and H showgrounds. The business was established in 1996, and its owners, Beverly and Glenn, live on the property. It takes only a small number of guests, so each pet gets individual attention, and dogs are matched only with compatible dogs.
Dogs can run on the paddocks, go to Doggy Day Play for supervised daycare with other dogs, have a warm-water bath with hydrojet nozzles, and have their nails trimmed. Special diets can be provided, and a favourite toy can come along. There is also a private cattery in its own garden, with hideaways, viewing platforms and ledges for cats. Drop-off and pick-up are 8am to 10am and 3pm to 5pm. Bookings are made through the booking page, and the business asks for a phone call on 021 744 300 for urgent questions, because rural internet is slow.
