Location: A Spacious Doggy Daycare in Auckland
K9 Heaven is located in West Massey, just 20 minutes (by car) from Auckland’s CBD. We’re also a 10-minute drive from the NorthWest Shopping Centre making it a convenient choice. As you drive along Sunnyvale Road, you’ll notice signs for K9 Heaven. Turn into the driveway and follow the road to our reception area where you’ll be greeted by our friendly team.
Facilities
At K9 Heaven, we’ve invested in top-notch facilities to ensure your dog’s safety, comfort, and enjoyment. Over the last two years, we’ve undergone a complete renovation to ensure a smooth experience for all. Our facilities are designed with dogs in mind; offering a clean, spacious environment with a home-like atmosphere. From cosy indoor areas to expansive outdoor spaces, every inch is carefully thought out to create a comfortable space where your doggo can thrive.
Reception
As you arrive, the first thing you’ll notice is our welcoming reception area. Our friendly team are always on hand to greet you and your dog. The reception is where you’ll check your pup in and ask any questions you may have. We offer a quick and easy check-in process to ensure a seamless experience.
Indoor Areas
While we prioritise outdoor adventure, our indoor areas allow your dog to unwind and escape the rain. Each of our indoor spaces is climate-controlled for year-round comfort. Just like our yards, we group dogs depending on their size and temperament. For example, small, medium and large dogs will have their own dedicated area with size-appropriate toys.
Inside our centre, we also have a crated area that we use for mealtime. This ensures that your dog can enjoy their meal in a secure space where they don’t have to guard their food from other doggos. Once they have finished their meal, they’ll be free to continue their adventures.
Yards
Our expansive yards are where the magic happens. With plenty of space for dogs to play, and interact, our yards are designed for both fun and relaxation. Whether your dog loves to chase balls, splash in water, explore new scents, or simply lounge in the sun, there’s a spot for them to enjoy. We have multiple yards to accommodate dogs of all sizes and temperaments, ensuring that every pup has a safe and fun experience. Each yard is specifically designed for different packs. For example, smaller dogs have access to their own yard for comfort and safety.
10-Acre Farm
One of the standout features of our doggy daycare in Auckland is the access to a sprawling 10-acre farm, a true paradise for dogs who love to explore. With open fields, forested areas, and plenty of fresh air, it’s the ideal environment for dogs who need space to run, sniff, and burn off energy. For water-loving pups, the ponds offer the perfect spot for a refreshing splash in the warmer months. Whether it’s chasing a ball across the paddocks or investigating new scents in the long grass, this outdoor space adds a unique sense of freedom and adventure to their daycare experience.
So, how does farm time work? Large dogs with reliable recall enjoy full access to the 10 acres, while smaller dogs and those still learning recall explore a dedicated one-acre area complete with a well-loved mud pool. (And yes, your dog will come home clean!) Farm sessions run at set times throughout the day and are grouped by size so every dog feels comfortable and safe. While the dogs are free to roam, our trained team supervises them closely at all times. After each farm adventure, every dog receives a quick physical check to make sure they’re free from sticks, foliage, or any unexpected scrapes.
Overnight Boarding
For dogs who need more than just a doggy daycare in Auckland, K9 Heaven offers overnight boarding services. Our overnight guests enjoy the same level of care, comfort, and attention as our daytime visitors. They’ll also join our doggy daycare during the day for fun adventures and safe socialisation. At night, each dog has their own designated sleeping area, complete with cosy bedding and plenty of human love.
Boujee Boarding
If you want to give your dog something extra special, our Boujee Boardig gives them access to their very own bedroom which is designed to look and feel just like home with an adult-sized bed, rugs, plants and plenty of toys. There is also cosy dog bedding and a few extra treats to help your pal settle in.
Dog Grooming Area
Every dog deserves a little luxury, which is why we’ve dedicated a special pamper room just for that. Run by external professional dog groomers, our centre is equipped with everything your dog needs to feel refreshed and rejuvenated. All of our daycare doggos will receive a nice bath after their adventures. Regular grooming sessions including trimming/clipping, nail triming and ear plucking are available at an additional cost. Find out more about our dog grooming service.
