<strong>Selwyn</strong>’s BARK Rolleston Kennels &<br />
Cattery is excited to announce a new<br />
addition to their services. Located at<br />
554 Jones Road, Rolleston, the recently<br />
refurbished rooms now offer more than<br />
just a comfortable stay for your beloved<br />
pets. Bella, an experienced and skilled<br />
groomer, will be joining the team at the<br />
end of the month, providing top-notch<br />
grooming services for both dogs and cats.<br />
This expansion not only enhances<br />
the facilities at BARK but also adds<br />
convenience for pet owners. Now, while<br />
your furry friend enjoys their stay in<br />
the high-standard, fun, safe, and caring<br />
environment that BARK is known<br />
for, you can also opt for professional<br />
grooming services to keep them looking<br />
and feeling their best.<br />
Bella will be managing her bookings,<br />
and to schedule a grooming session,<br />
all you need to do is get in touch with<br />
BARK, and they will pass on your details<br />
to Bella.<br />
BARK Rolleston Kennels and Cattery<br />
continues to expand its services, catering<br />
to the diverse needs of its clients. It plays<br />
a crucial role in providing pet owners<br />
with peace of mind,<br />
knowing that their<br />
pets are in capable<br />
and caring hands.<br />
Now with a new<br />
retail zone, it’s a<br />
great place to pop<br />
in for your Xmas<br />
shopping!<br />
