Cared for like family, every wag of the way
Tauranga’s most trusted dog daycare and boarding. A safe, force-free place where your dog plays, rests, and makes friends.
Gentle care, built on patience and kindness
At Paws and Play, we believe every dog deserves a safe, stimulating, and loving dog daycare environment to thrive in. Our premium dog daycare is designed to cater to every aspect of your dog’s wellbeing — from exercise and enrichment to socialisation, training, and care.
We understand that every dog is unique, with different personalities, energy levels, and behavioural needs. That’s why our experienced and passionate team provides personalised care and structured play, ensuring each dog feels happy, confident, and fulfilled during their time with us.
Our facility features purpose-designed play zones, comfortable rest areas, and a tranquil dog hotel, all enhanced with color therapy to promote calmness, balance, and positive energy. Each space has been thoughtfully designed to encourage the right state of mind for dogs — supporting relaxation, confidence, and social harmony.
With supervised group activities, individual attention, and a focus on canine balance, Paws and Play offers the perfect blend of fun, learning, and holistic care.
At Paws and Play, it’s more than just daycare — it’s a place where dogs learn, grow, and wag their way to a better day, every day.
