BARK Kennels & Cattery boards dogs and cats at 554 Jones Rd in Rolleston, Selwyn, and carries a 4.7-star rating from 167 Google reviews, with details and enquiries through its website.
Good boarding is less about fancy facilities than steady routines. Most kennels and catteries ask for up-to-date vaccinations, so have the vaccination book handy when booking, and expect the better places to fill quickly over school holidays and the Christmas–New Year rush. Dogs are usually exercised daily and fed at their normal times, while cats do best in a quiet cattery kept well away from barking, so it is worth asking where the cat wing sits. Regulars often bring a familiar blanket or their pet's own food, which settles anxious animals and avoids tummy upsets from a sudden change of diet.
For Rolleston and Selwyn owners heading away, a spot like this on Jones Rd is one to ring early.
