Wandering Willows Kennels and Cattery is a Fear Free certified kennel and cattery at 1415 State Highway 1 in Topuni, near Wellsford, halfway between Auckland and Whangārei. The website says it is on a spacious property with limited availability. It offers kennels, a cattery, daycare and training. The website says every dog is assessed for comfort, and that dogs of any breed are accepted. Play groups are mixed by temperament and kept small. The staff-to-animal ratio on site is 1:15. The owner trained in the UK, where kennels are licensed and inspected to strict standards.
Reviewers say the team gives care, attention and kindness, and that dogs with medical needs are looked after well. One customer whose nervous cat stayed says the cat felt safe, and that the staff were flexible about fitting around the cat and the owners. Another says their dogs came home happier than after any previous kennel stay. A reviewer whose dog goes to puppy playschool says the dog is happy to go and enjoys the other dogs. Reviewers say punishment is not used, and describe the team as friendly, qualified and easy to contact.
