Waikato Boarding Kennels and Cattery is a purpose-built boarding facility for dogs and cats, at 2125A Gordonton Road in Taupiri. It is run alongside a dog-training business, and the owner is a certified KPA CTP dog trainer. The kennels each measure about 3.5 metres by 1.5 metres, with raised beds, a heating system at the rear, and fresh water topped up several times a day. Dogs have runs, playtime and rest periods through the day, and on some stays they go on farm walks or to the park with other dogs. Feeding is twice a day, or to each dog's own needs. The cattery is sunlit and sheltered, and it is kept away from the kennel area.
A customer whose three dogs stayed there says they improved a lot, and praises the trainers and staff, and the site includes that account. Drop-off is on a Friday, and the earliest collection is the Monday afternoon, between 3 and 4pm. On public holiday weekends the site says it is closed on Saturday, Sunday and Monday mornings. The site asks people to enquire about hours over peak periods, and to send an email first to make an enquiry.
