"Don't leave me home alone"
Come stay and play away the day with us or rest and relax in
a friendly home environment.
We have boarding for dogs whilst owners take a break.
All dogs boarding with us live indoors as part of the family.
We have secure play areas in a peaceful rural setting.
As your beloved canine will be interacting with our own Cavaliers we
only welcome well socialised small to medium size family pets.
We feed 2 meals a day. Breakfast is biscuit with a late
afternoon main meal of chicken necks or other quality raw meats.
If owners prefer to provide their own special diets we are quite
happy to feed this.
Day boarding, bathing and grooming are also available.
Whether you are travelling northwards or southwards we are
conveniently situated only a few minutes drive off the SH1 at Huntly,
30 minutes north of Hamilton. This is an ideal drop off point on route
to Auckland airport or for a day out visiting Auckland and Waikato.

A sample of comments from owners .......
Jan I just wanted to let you know that Hunter had the best time with his week with you. He had never been in
a boarding kennel before and I had worried about putting him in to one. However that fear was soon gone when
I received a text from you letting me know how he had settled in. It showed even more when he didn't want to
come home and the first day Hunter missed you and the other dogs. Thank you so much I would be happy to
recommend you to anyone who was looking for a safe environment to put their special dog.
Many thanks for taking care of the girls and the lovely job of grooming that you did for them. My dogs
always have a great time running round with your Cavaliers.
Our dog Frankie stayed at Darilance over three weeks. It was reassuring to leave him with Jan and Andrew, who both
really understand and love dogs, they are obviously very dedicated to providing a safe, fun and caring environment
for their dogs and their boarders. Frankie lived inside and was very much part of the family while he was there.
It was fantastic to get video clip updates throughout the stay and we could see what a ball Frankie was having,
making friends and
playing with the Darilance crew. I suspect we missed him more than he missed us !
We highly recommend Darilance for anyone who wants to ensure they are leaving
their beloved pets in good hands
and we will ourselves use Darilance again.
I would not hesitate to recommend your kennels to other dog owners. I am not worried at all when they
stay with you. You're the best.
