Welcome to PawLuxe – Wellington’s Sanctuary for Pet Wellbeing

At PawLuxe, we treat every animal as if they were our own family member. Nestled in the heart of Wellington, we offer grooming, daycare, boarding, training, and in‑home care designed to nurture your pet’s body, mind, and spirit. Our serene, scent‑free environments and mobile spa vans ensure stress‑free experiences, while our enrichment programs keep tails wagging and whiskers twitching with delight.
About Us – A Holistic Haven for Paws & Claws
PawLuxe was born in 2016 when veterinary nurse Emma Sinclair and certified animal behaviourist Marcus Lee united their expertise to redefine pet care. From a single grooming salon on Lambton Quay, we’ve expanded to three city‑centre boutique spas, a resort‑style daycare in Kilbirnie, and two state‑of‑the‑art mobile units. Our team comprises veterinary technicians, enrichment specialists, and first‑aid‑trained caregivers who undergo quarterly welfare audits and continuous professional development. We collaborate with Wellington SPCA, local rescue groups, and canine‑behaviour researchers to implement evidence‑based, force‑free methods that prioritize emotional wellbeing alongside physical health. At PawLuxe, we champion individualized care plans—ensuring each whisker‑twitch and tail‑chase is tailored to your companion’s unique personality and needs.
Our Services
Professional Grooming & Spa Treatments
Begin with a gentle, stress‑reducing welcome ritual as we assess coat and skin condition to select the ideal hypoallergenic, plant‑based products for your pet. Our stylists master breed‑specific trims, dematting, nail trims, ear cleanings, and teeth‑brushing. Luxury spa add‑ons—such as blueberry facials, paw‑pad balms, and aromatherapy wraps—soothe sensitive skin and promote coat health. In mobile spa vans, pets enjoy the same premium treatments in a familiar, calming environment. Each session concludes with a personalized bandana or bow tie and a take‑home wellness report.

Daycare & Overnight Boarding
PawLuxe PlayZone features secure indoor playrooms, outdoor agility yards, and quiet nap pods with temperature‑controlled bedding. Supervised by certified activity coordinators, pets partake in structured playgroups, cognitive puzzles, and scent‑work trails tailored to their energy levels. Overnight guests retreat to private, climate‑regulated suites where they receive gourmet meals, nighttime lullabies read by staff, and morning cuddles to start their day relaxed. Special‑needs and senior pets enjoy customized care schedules, low‑impact exercises, and medication administration. Daily photo and video updates let owners share in their companion’s adventures from afar.
Behavioural Training & Enrichment
Our force‑free, science‑backed training programs address foundational obedience, off‑lead reliability, and challenging behaviors like separation anxiety and leash reactivity. Puppy socialisation classes build confidence through fun group activities and positive reinforcement. Advanced modules include canine‑parkour, scent‑work challenges, and trick‑training workshops. Feline behaviour consultations tackle litter‑box issues, scratching, and environmental enrichment for happier, balanced cats. Each program integrates progress tracking and owner education to reinforce learning at home.
In‑Home Pet‑Sitting & Dog‑Walking
PawLuxe pet‑sitters provide overnight stays or scheduled visits in your home, preserving familiar routines and comfort zones. We handle feeding, exercise, litter‑box maintenance, and basic grooming, ensuring minimal disruption to your pet’s daily rhythm. Dog‑walking options include solo or group walks—30, 60, or 90 minutes—to match each dog’s stamina and sociability. GPS‑tracked routes and real‑time updates keep you informed and worry‑free. Vacation‑care bundles combine walking, grooming, and boarding at preferred seasonal rates.
Veterinary Liaison & Health Monitoring
We partner with leading Wellington clinics for routine wellness exams, vaccinations, and emergency referrals. Our staff holds certifications in pet first aid and CPR, ready to respond to minor incidents immediately. Detailed health logs—covering diet, weight, activity, and behaviour—are shared with your veterinarian for comprehensive care. Preventative‑care seminars equip owners with knowledge on nutrition, dental health, parasite control, and early illness indicators. This integrated approach ensures each pet receives proactive, coordinated health support.
Pet Photography & Keepsakes
Capture your companion’s personality through professional photo sessions—indoors with themed backdrops or at favorite outdoor spots. Our photographer specializes in candid action shots, whimsical portraits, and expressive close‑ups that highlight your pet’s unique charm. Final images are available as high‑quality prints, canvases, calendars, and custom merchandise. Proceeds from photo‑fundraiser events benefit local rescue organizations. Each session supports our mission to give every shelter pet a second chance at a loving home.
Our Advantages

Unwavering Dedication to Welfare
Animal wellbeing shapes every PawLuxe protocol—from sound‑dampened grooming suites to pheromone‑infused boarding rooms. Staff undergo continuous training in low‑stress handling, behavior modification, and enrichment techniques to minimize anxiety and build trust. We avoid aversive methods entirely, focusing on empathy and positive reinforcement. Facility design—separate cat and dog zones, non‑slip flooring, and gentle lighting—ensures comfort and safety. This holistic emphasis on welfare fosters joyful, relaxed experiences for every guest.
Fully Tailored Care Plans
No two pets are alike; our initial consultations gather detailed histories, personality profiles, and health data to craft bespoke care strategies. From dietary sensitivity management to enrichment preferences, each service adapts to your companion’s needs and lifestyle. Trainers, groomers, and sitters share insights through centralized care profiles, fostering consistent, coordinated support. Regular plan reviews adjust for aging, health developments, or behavior improvements—keeping care aligned with evolving requirements. This personalization ensures optimal wellbeing and owner satisfaction.
Premier Facilities & Mobile Comfort
Our Wellington spas feature climate‑controlled playrooms, full‑size bath stations, and separate cat sanctuaries to reduce cross‑species stress. Premium boarding suites include memory‑foam bedding, night‑vision cameras, and calming soundtracks. The PawLuxe mobile vans mirror spa amenities on wheels—hydraulic grooming tables, temperature control, and onboard water filtration—providing familiar settings for anxious animals. Rigorous sanitation protocols between clients maintain the highest hygiene standards. This dual‑site/mobile model delivers consistent quality wherever your pet needs care.
Expert, Certified Team
PawLuxe staff hold certifications in veterinary nursing, animal behavior, and pet first aid—many boasting over a decade of professional experience. Trainers learn from global leaders in canine science, while groomers attend specialized dermatology and styling seminars. Boarding caregivers receive instruction in senior‑and‑special‑needs protocols to support chronically ill or less mobile pets. Quarterly audits by independent welfare groups ensure we exceed industry benchmarks. This depth of expertise guarantees your pet is in skilled, compassionate hands.
Transparent, Value‑Driven Pricing
We believe in clear, all‑inclusive pricing—packages outline every feature, from grooming products and enrichment toys to gourmet meals and bedding. No hidden fees or surprise surcharges; seasonal promotions and loyalty rewards provide additional savings. Custom membership plans bundle services at discounted rates for frequent visitors. Detailed invoicing and service breakdowns foster trust and budget predictability. This transparency lets you prioritize care quality without financial guesswork.
Community & Rescue Commitment
PawLuxe partners with local shelters, SPCA Wellington, and breed rescues to host adoption fairs, training workshops, and fundraising events. We donate grooming vouchers to rescue and foster families, improving adoptable pets’ appeal. Monthly “Paws & Play” social meetups promote responsible ownership and build supportive networks. A portion of revenue from specialty spa packages funds medical treatments for shelter animals. By choosing PawLuxe, you’re supporting a community that uplifts all pets in need.
