Doggie Daycare

Our casual day rate (over 5 hours) is $60 per dog. For under 5 hours, it’s $40. We offer a range of extra pricing benefits including discounts for multiple dogs and doggie daycare packages where you can receive up to 15% off!

For regular daycare clients it is very helpful if you keep your dog on a routine daycare schedule. Dogs thrive on routine! By coming on a specific day(s) each week, they will get to know their play buddies and truly become part of the pack. We may also make suggestions on what days they may ‘fit in’ better.

Our desexing policy states that your pup can no longer attend daycare after 8 months of age if they are not desexed. Once your pup is desexed they are welcome to come back after the vet has given the all clear.

Our purpose-built facility is designed to accommodate pups of all ages. We have a busy activity pen for younger dogs that need more stimulation and a chill-out area for senior pooches too.

Puppy daycare is a great way for little doggos to socialise, build confidence and make new friends. For an extra fee, we also offer enrichment sessions to engage and stimulate your pups.

Please do not bring your dog to daycare if they are showing any of the following symptoms: coughing, sneezing, infections of any kind including eye & ear infections, vomiting, diarrhoea or lethargy. Our Daycare is an open play environment and there is a lot of dog to dog contact. We take every precaution to keep our environment sanitary and clean, but like human daycare, viruses can spread. If your dog shows any of the above symptoms they will be isolated and you may be called to collect them.

All dogs are different and the first time away from you might be a little unsettling. Our staff are highly trained and know how to make your pup feel like part of the pack.

We have numerous toys and areas to play in and also encourage socialisation and doggie bonding. When it gets too much for them, they can take some R&R in the chill-out area. We’ll keep you updated on their progress and, in the unlikely event we think doggie daycare isn’t for them, we’ll advise on the next best steps.

Most pups love coming to our doggie daycare in Melbourne. It’s a fun place for them to play and socialise with their friends. Some dogs can find it stressful but our expert team will be able to calm them down and encourage them to have fun. If they feel over-stimulated by other dogs, they can always take a break in another pen.

That really depends on your pooch and how they display their anxiety. We always do an initial assessment to make sure a new pup will be happy at our daycare. If your pup just needs to come out of its shell a bit more, making friends in a secure environment can be a great way to do it. If your dog sometimes shows signs of aggression when they’re anxious, doggie daycare probably isn’t the best place for them.

We operate every day during the week. Drop-offs start at 7.00 (latest at 11.00) and pick-up is before 18.00. Keep in mind that we close at 18.30 so you really need to pick up your pooch before then!

Your dog may come home unusually tired; it is not abnormal for he/she to be tired the entire next day. Playing is hard work, so don’t be surprised if you hear snores soon after your pup comes home!

The comfort and wellbeing of your dog is just as important to us as it is to you. There are many benefits to using a doggy daycare, including:

• Improve Emotional Wellbeing with Fun Socialisation
  • Improve your dog’s socialisation skills with regular interaction and playtime with other dogs. Socialising with other dogs in a fun and safe environment can help improve your furbaby’s overall confidence and emotional wellbeing. And they get to meet new friends along the way!
• Relieve Boredom and Anxiety
  • Being left alone at home for long periods of time can increase your dog’s boredom and anxiety levels. But a trip to doggie daycare means they can have an increased sense of comfort. Rest easy knowing your furbase is around other people and puppies throughout the day. Your dog is able to socialisewith others they get along with, and they are cared for with all-day supervision by our professional and friendly carers.
• Avoid Behavioural Issues Caused by Loneliness
  • When dogs are left home alone for long periods of time, you may start to notice a difference in their temperament and behaviours. When you take them to doggie daycare, you know they are being consistently supervised all day long. Our trained careers are able to spot and address any behavioural issues as they occur.
• Exercise and Play Time
  • Improve your dog’s health with regular exercise and play time throughout the day. We have a large range of toys, surfaces, and exercise areas to give them a sense of variety. Allowing your dog to release their energy in a fun and stimulating way helps to improve their mental and physical wellbeing. Plus, it’s just a lot of fun!
• Ready for Home
  • Your dog is now ready for home-time, where they are happily reunited with you and ready to relax after a fun-filled day of socialising. Know that when you pick your furbaby up, they will be nice and recharged, ready to spend some quality time with you.
