Limited by design
We keep availability intentionally limited. This helps each dog receive calm, consistent home-based care.
Address reviewed
PawStay reviews Auckland suburbs and addresses manually. Location helps us assess timing, travel, and whether the stay fits our home routine.
Trial stay guidance
For first-time dogs, anxious dogs, or longer stays, PawStay may recommend a short trial stay or meet and greet before confirming boarding.
Emergency care
Owners must provide an emergency contact. If urgent vet care is needed, PawStay will try to contact the owner first and seek appropriate veterinary support.
