•About Us•



We have owned, shown, and bred dogs successfully for over 44years. In 2013 we decided that as so many people asked us to care for their dogs while they were away, we would sell our lovely Manawatu home and buy boarding kennels. 
Our main criteria was that it had to be good enough that we would leave our own beloved Dobermanns there. After over a year of searching for an establishment that met our standards of security, safety, and with a home that had potential to develop, we found Kapiti Kennels and decided that it ticked all the right boxes. 
We strive to provide a well staffed, safe, and secure environment with the highest quality food for your dogs stay with us.
Robert and Caroline

Our cairn terrier, Chutney has stayed at Kapiti Kennels for a good period of time over the past year and always comes out from the Kennels feeling happy and energetic. Thank you so much for looking after her and wish everyone a wonderful holiday. I'd certainly highly commend Kapiti Kennels. Kind regards, Judy 12/24

Remi & Riley loved their stay, and i got text to say how they were going, and that they were happy. That is all we could ask for, and when we picked them up happy as Larry. Will certainly be going back there, thanks again team - it was brilliant, and lovely setting that you have.

Casper came home without his voice . . . . a clear sign he had a lot to say when he was with his friends. Thank you for the environment where Casper can mix with his friends when we are away. Thank you for giving him his requested nail trim. Always happy to leave him in your care. He will return when next we travel.

Thanks for looking after my three little pooches. Even my old sickly man was fine to our relief.
