About doggy daycare 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.
