Whether your dog is a Pure Breed with a “History” or a Mutt/Mixed Breed with parentage that is a “Mystery”, we are here to care for your dog.
We built Zaminka to be the kind of place we would take our own dogs. Every dog has its own indoor pen, goes out up to four times a day, and there is someone on site 24 hours a day.
Our Mission
We promise to be kind and loving, and to look after every dog as if it were our own.
Testimonials
Zaminka came highly recommended to me over 25 years ago, I have never been disappointed with them. … Kasi is now part of their family.

I have been using Zaminka for over 12 years, They have bent over backwards to help us, anytime we needed them to take care of our fur babies.
I have even asked them to take our grandson as well, but no kids are allowed. LOL
When Kasi was going to Zaminka for her holidays, when we drove down the driveway, she was crying and couldn't wait to get out of the car.
During covid times, I had to take her to the vet twice, on both occasions we drove past Zaminka, and she was crying to go there.
Zaminka came highly recommended to me over 25 years ago, I have never been disappointed with them.
During this time, Zaminka became friends with us, I have recommended Zaminka to others. no complaints.
Kasi is now part of their family.

Hi Lyn, Raana, Ryan, Gary and Amber
We just wanted to send a note to say a HUGE thank you so much for looking after Coco and Archie while we were away.
They clearly were so well looked after and they obviously had a great time, Archie is still getting over his exhaustion!!
Knowing that they enjoy staying over, love coming to daycare and are so well looked after is just fantastic and a huge comfort.
If possible are we able to book them in for daycare on Monday and Tuesday (8th and 9th) next week?
Thank you all again for being so awesome!!
