Canine Clubhouse is a home-based dog daycare for small breeds only, at 14 Fendalton Crescent, Pinehaven, Upper Hutt. It takes a maximum of 12 dogs a day, so each one gets individual attention. Dogs have supervised play with their friends, indoors and outdoors, along with plenty of cuddles and rest, and each day is tailored to the dog's energy. Dogs must be at least 6 months old, fully vaccinated, and spayed or neutered by 12 months.
Half-day sessions of up to five hours cost $25 (as at 2026). Drop-offs run from 7.30am to 1.30pm, with pick-ups from midday or from 3.30pm, depending on the session. Owners start with a phone or email chat about their dog, and visits can be arranged by calling 021 258 7329. Customers praise the care, the communication and the boutique feel, and one says a nervous dog settled in quickly. Our pick in Pinehaven for small dogs in a small-group setting.
