About dog boarding in Christchurch

Christchurch is the second-largest pet-sitting market in New Zealand. Hagley Park anchors most walks, and the flat geography means recurring weekday walks are popular with office workers heading into the CBD.

Demand spikes around the Cup and Show Week in November and through the Christmas-January summer break. Sumner and Sumner Beach add a small but steady wave of holiday-let owners needing in-home sitters.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does dog boarding cost in Christchurch?
Overnight dog boarding in Christchurch costs NZ$55-NZ$95 per night (GST inclusive). Rates vary by suburb, dog size, and length of stay. Multi-night stays often come with a discount.
Where does my dog stay?
At the sitter's home. Every Petme boarding sitter hosts a small number of dogs at a time, so your dog gets attention and couch time, not a kennel run.
Are boarding sitters in Christchurch vetted?
Yes. Every sitter passes identity and background checks. Each booking includes up to NZ$36,000+ in vet cover at no extra cost.
Can I meet the sitter before I book?
Yes. Set up a free meet and greet through chat before the first booking. You drop off the dog, hand over food and bedding, and confirm everything in person.
What about my dog's diet and meds?
Add diet and medication notes to your booking. Sitters confirm before accepting and stick to the routine you set.
Is there a service fee for owners?
No. Petme charges pet owners 0% service fee. You only pay the sitter's rate, and you earn automatic cashback on every completed booking.
