Whether you’re travelling or working, your littlie will enjoy a peaceful and personalised experience at our boutique countryside retreat, set on four serene acres overlooking the Hauraki Plains and Coromandel Ranges.

We specialise in caring for a small number of small dogs — creating a fun, calm, and tailored environment where each guest can enjoy both comfort and meaningful social interaction.

Woof Woof Ranch is fully resource-consented and purpose-built to the highest standard — designed exactly as we’d want it for our own boy, Bryan, who spends his days here alongside our guests. There are absolutely no compromises when it comes to comfort, safety, or gold-standard care.

We know your dog’s favourite place is by your side — and we feel exactly the same. But when you can’t be there, we’re proud to be the next best thing: a trusted, peaceful, and loving home away from home.

Thoughtfully designed to offer a completely different experience from traditional kennels. Our calm, enriched environment — with all-day company and fun social connections with other little dogs — offers a level of wellbeing for them that simply can’t be matched by alternative boarding scenarios, including house sitting options.

Exclusively for Smaller Breeds

Everything is designed specifically for littlies — from the space, to the pace, to the company.

Real Comforts at Our Country Retreat

A state-of-the-art build with home-style comforts, inside and out. From climate-controlled indoor zones to landscaped outdoor play spaces, every detail is crafted to offer a relaxed, safe and luxurious environment for our littlest guests.

Small Numbers, True Connection

Guests are never lost in a crowd. With boutique numbers, and our small dedicated team, real relationships and close bonds form.

All-Day Company & Social Time

From morning to night, our guests enjoy time with us and with one another — no isolation, no long hours alone.

Enrichment Through Socialising

Safe, supported interaction helps our guests build confidence, reduce stress, and enjoy being part of a group.

Family-Run, Heart-Led

We provide real care — and treat every littlie as if they were our own.

Whether it’s zooming across our fully fenced grassed play areas, chasing balls or frisbees, enjoying water play, bubbles and tunnels, or simply snoozing on the deck or under the bridge — our guests can choose their perfect day.

Woof Woof Ranch caters to every need, physically and mentally. Our beautifully landscaped outdoor spaces and indoor comforts are just as important to us as they are to your dog. Unlike many boarding alternatives with noisy indoor warehouse setups or concrete cage-style yards, we provide a peaceful, quality environment inside and out.

Agile, Fragile, and Everything in Between

Our guest list consists of a happy gang of sociable littlies of all ages — from playful pups to wise pensioners.
The ranch has been thoughtfully designed with everyone in mind, featuring wrap-around decks and gentle ramps so every guest can enjoy the space that’s all just for them.

Larger boarding environments can be overwhelming for many. Woof Woof Ranch offers the calm, supported space where confidence grows naturally. Our guests are happy, relaxed, and genuinely enjoy their days with us.

Comfort is part of every day here — indoors, outdoors, or wherever our littlies feel most at ease. From curling up on soft furnishings to exploring the grounds or simply sharing our company, they rest when they’re ready — not because they’re put away.

We understand the importance of rest, too. Our dedicated siesta time enables us all to relax and recharge together in comfort. There’s no isolation in a Woof Woof Ranch day. Everything we do, we do together — creating a calm, connected environment our guests love.

As well as short-stay boarding, Woof Woof Ranch specialises in comfort for our large regular returning crew of long-stay guests. Our peaceful ranch environment is designed to reduce anxiety, with small groups of just littlies forming bonds, helping each guest fully settle and really enjoy their time with us — incredibly important to us.

Our purpose-built facility is acoustically engineered to help minimise stress from external noise like thunder, fireworks, or other disruptive sounds, so our littlies stay calm and comfortable throughout their visit.

Our guests' owners are also a top priority. We place huge importance on capturing memorable photos during the day and keeping you updated throughout your dog's stay — exactly as we would enjoy and appreciate. A photo of your littlie really enjoying their holiday is a comforting reassurance that they’re having the best time. A real holiday too.
Many of our owners travel from Auckland and across New Zealand, to ensure their littlie gets the absoloute best, a boutique experience that caters exclusively to smaller breeds.

Now that you’ve found the perfect holiday spot for your littlie, it’s time to enjoy your own well-deserved break — and take in the beauty of our Hauraki and Coromandel region.
