About Zane

🐾 Welcome to Zu & Co. - Your Pet's Home Away from Home! 🐾

Holiday Availability! 🌟
Limited spots are available for Christmas and New Year's, so book early to secure your pet's stay. They'll enjoy festive fun with holiday treats, playtime, and summer comforts like a refreshing dip in the doggy pool.

Hi, I'm Zane, and I run Zu & Co., a home-based pet care service in Greenlane, Auckland, with my dog Zuzu. With a lifetime of experience with animals and my family's animal farm, I understand animal behaviour and needs. Zuzu enjoys socialising, ensuring every guest feels comfortable.

Why Choose Zu & Co.?

Tailored Walks & Enrichment:
Your dog's routine includes tailored pack walks—up to two daily—through scenic parks like Cornwall Park and Meola Dog Park. We also offer light enrichment activities like scent games and interactive toys to ensure your dog is mentally and physically engaged.
"Louie loved his stay with Zane. Getting photos each day was great! I could tell Zane was very attentive and great with dogs."

A Calm, Family-Like Environment:
At Zu & Co., we provide a calm and personalised setting where your dog receives individual attention in a peaceful environment. Our fully fenced yard and proximity to 24-hour vet services ensure safety and comfort.
"John felt right at home with Zane and Zuzu — it was his first night away from his bed."

24/7 Supervision & Personalised Care:
We offer full-time, 24/7 supervision, ensuring your dog is never left unattended and always has the support they need in a calm, stress-free environment.
"Zane is awesome. He looked after my shy, anxious dog Ollie well. Ollie calmed down after their walk and had a great time."

Custom Routines & New Guest Care:
Each stay is tailored to your dog's habits, whether they enjoy cuddles or active play. We also give extra care to help first-time guests settle in quickly.
"Zane made us feel completely at ease leaving our young whippet John with him for the day and provided updates and photos throughout his stay!"

Stay Connected—Even When Apart:
We provide regular updates with photos or videos. We are happy to offer extra reassurance whenever needed, ensuring you stay connected and at ease throughout your dog's stay.
"The daily updates were so reassuring, and seeing our dog happy and playing with Zuzu made us feel completely at ease."

Flexible Care for Your Dog:
At Zu & Co., we're known for being flexible and accommodating to your needs, whether arranging last-minute bookings or offering flexible drop-off and pick-up times to fit your busy schedule.
"Zane was so great looking after Paddy. Super accommodating and understanding with some last-minute changes to our booking."

Important Requirements:
All dogs must be flea- and worm-treated, fully vaccinated (Canine Parvovirus, Distemper, Hepatitis, and Leptospirosis), and non-aggressive for everyone's safety.

Our Services:

  • Daycare: Flexible service from 6 am to 9 pm, providing a safe, engaging environment.
  • Boarding: Overnight care for up to 5 dogs, ensuring personalised attention and a calm stay.
  • Dog Walking: Walk tailored to your dog's energy levels, and visit parks like Cornwall Park and Meola Dog Park.
  • Long-term Stays: We offer discounts for long-term stays, making extended care more accessible.
  • Home Visits: Short visits to feed and provide company for your pets (Currently unavailable).
  • Pick-up/Drop-off: Convenient transportation for your dog (Currently unavailable).
  • Our Unique Advantage:
    Zu & Co. is not a kennel. Here, your pet becomes a family member, receiving individual care and minimal stress. This calm and familiar setting is perfect for dogs that thrive on routine and close interaction.
    "I can't recommend Zane and Zuzu enough! Fox absolutely adores staying with them... You can tell Zane genuinely has the dogs' best interests at heart."

    Dog Etiquette:

    • Meet and Greet: Our meet-and-greet session helps your dog feel at ease with Zuzu and our environment, ensuring a smooth transition into their stay.
    • Drop-Off: We recommend using a firm-fitting collar or harness for a smooth drop-off and pick-up, as neighbouring cats sometimes walk near our place.
    • Pick-Up: When collecting your dog, enter our gated area, where I'll meet you, and we can briefly chat if needed.
    • FAQs:

      • What should I bring? Please bring a firm-fitting collar or harness, a leash, and enough food for your dog. For boarding, feel free to bring their bed or crate. No toys needed—Zu destroys them!
      • Can you administer medication? We can administer most medications (except injections) and carefully monitor dogs to ensure their well-being.
      • Do you leave the dogs unattended? As mentioned, I provide 24/7 supervision to ensure safety and comfort.
      • What time can I drop off/pick up? Drop-off and pick-up are available between 6 am and 9 pm, with 24/7 availability on advanced request.
      • Are anxious or unsocialised dogs okay? Absolutely! We have experience in helping them adjust and provide updates to reassure you.
      • Do you accept un-neutered pets? Yes, on a case-by-case basis. Let us know if your pet is unneutered and when their last heat was for females.
      • Where do you walk the dogs? We visit local parks like Waitarua Reserve and Meola Dog Park. For quieter days, we enjoy Cornwall Park.
      • What is your capacity? We cap boarding at five dogs and daycare at eight, ensuring personalised care for each guest.
