At Valhalla Kennels, we don’t just sell dog products—we use them ourselves. From durable toys to health supplements and plant-based treats, every item in our store has been tested and approved by the dogs in our care. Give your dog the best, recommended by those who know dogs best.
VISIT SHOPValhalla boarding kennels cater for all dog breeds that meet our requirements, from small and cuddly to medium and large active breeds.
Our cats are left out during the day together in our fully enclosed cattery and all rounded up later in the afternoon for a brush down before dinner and popped back into their sleeping quarters.
Recently taken our cat for a visit at Valhalla, I am very impressed with what the owner is doing there. The dogs there loves to visit them and you can see how well he is not only taking care of the grounds but the furry babies also.. Well manicured and kept lawns for the dogs to play in, plenty of clean water to drink in their play areas with shadow nets etc. The owner is busy with a lot of improvements turning this place into a doggy paradise I have not seen yet. Our cat was well taken care of and had plenty of safe room to explore and play in. I highly recommend Valhalla. Marius and Katrina, you rock...

Took my little Bichon Frise here for the first time in June'21. I was very impressed, and owner's, Marius & Katrina just love the animals in their care. They get the very best of care, and only the very best nutritional food is feed. Very clean and tidy, and ongoing improvement. Definitely take my dog there again. Highly Recommend.

Jim and Lizzie absolutely love to go to Valhalla - the excitement builds when we turn off and the dogs are estatic seeing Lorraine and John. They come back in great condition so we are extremely happy with the knowledge that our dogs are happy and very well cared for.

Marius and Katrina are wonderful, our dogs are looked after so well, it's a holiday for them when they go there xx Facilities are fantastic, and are regularly improved, very clean and tidy.
Alison Gillespie
These people genuinely love animals, and our dogs and cat are always so well cared for. It's hard to leave your fur babies, but we knew they were going to be so well looked after and have a great time that we were fine.

Had to say goodbye to our little fellow 4 months ago, but when we had him always put him into the safe caring hands of Katrina and Marius. He use to get excited when we turned up the road.We new he was in safe hands. Katrina and Marius have become friends. Although our wee fella has gone we still love seeing the posts on Facebook from the kennels. You can't go past Vahalla and their love of animals.

This was the first time our dog Rocco had been to stay in kennels and he was going for 3 weeks. We were extrememly happy with how his stay went and the care Katrina and Marius took of him. We would happily take him here again. The facilities are lovely and the owners are great animal lovers. Many thanks.

LEAVE A REVIEWKatrina and Marius are the owner/operators of Valhalla Kennels & Cattery, where we try to make your pets stay with us an enjoyable experience for them, and a worry free break for you. And heaps of fun for us too…….way better than a ‘real’ job! We took over the business and property in November 2019.
Valhalla Kennels & Cattery the country pet retreat, established in 2003 and situated on a 22 acre property in the peaceful Uruti Valley and less than 5 minutes off SHW 3 on Uruti Road, which is about half way between the township of Urenui and Mount Messenger.
5 large grassed exercise areas for your pets to play and interact with other dogs as well as plenty of balls and tuggy ropes to have fun with. Separate kennels and play area for the smaller types of dogs with the kennels being purpose built, insulated and heated, it also has a deck for the little guys to hang out on.
There is also “The Old Dog Inn”, a completely separate area on the other side of the residence which the older dog may prefer, away from the main kennels which is quieter and more peaceful.
Dog grooming: We can wash your dog and clip nails at additional cost.
Generally most cats are left out during the day together in our fully enclosed cattery and all rounded up later in the afternoon for a brush down before dinner and popped back into their sleeping quarters.
Our opening hours are between 8am-11am and 3:30pm-6:00pm. We ask you to please respect ‘our time’ and sanity, and try to stick to these hours.
We insist on sighting current vaccinations for all pets that are brought into stay with us, so please don’t forget your pets vaccination booklet for us to see on drop off.
As a service to customers, we also try to get some photographs of your pets while they are staying with us, these are usually posted on Facebook so you can see what your wee little fur babies are getting up to while you’re away.
Take a peek at us on Facebook.
We look forward to meet you and your furry family member in the near future.
Katrina and Marius
