  • Recently, Shay watched my elderly dog for over a month. She was absolutely amazing! We got updates throughout and I knew he was in safe hands, even with his medical conditions. I was looking for someone that would cater to his needs. She went above and beyond to make sure he was in a good mental state throughout his visit and she adjusted to his capabilities for walks and everyday life. Upon return, my dog was relaxed and comfortable which was also a huge indicator that he had settled right in with her. We will be going to Shay again in the future both for big travels and for short stints. Very happy with her service!

  • The team at Its a dogs life are awesome, Baillie has stayed a few times now and she has an absolute ball. It's great to know they are cared for just like at home, sleeping in the lounge with all their new mates is wonderful compared to staying at a kennels. Probably too good a time as she wines when we leave to go home, never had that at a kennel. Really can't rate these guys highly enough.

  • We have used It’s A Dog’s Life NZ for both boarding and day trips. Our experience with both has been nothing short of AMAZING! Our labradoodle comes home happy, content and tired from all the activities he gets to enjoy while he’s away from home whether thats just the day or for a week. Communication is great and I can always trust Spencer is well taken care of.
