Important announcement! ‼️

Effective Monday, January 20th, we will be implementing a separation of our small dogs from our medium and large dogs. This change aims to accommodate different play styles more effectively and optimise our space. By doing so, our small dogs can fully enjoy their daycare experience without the potential stress of larger dogs participating in their play.

Mondays and Wednesdays: small to small medium dog breeds.
Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays: large medium to extra large dog breeds.
Saturdays, Sundays and Public Holidays: closed.

If your dog's regular booking does not align with their designated size group, we will reach out to you to reschedule your booking.

We are committed to meeting the needs of all our dogs and enhancing their experiences during visits. While we recognise that limited availability may be inconvenient for some, we are currently unable to offer a fully flexible schedule at this point in time of our brand new business. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to the benefits this system will provide our dogs and their daycare experience.

🌟 First time visits - FAQ 🌟

What are trial sessions?
Our trial sessions offer new dogs a gradual introduction to the daycare environment without the potential stress of a long stay. Each session starts with acclimatisation to the environment, followed by an on-lead interaction with a dog of similar size and temperament, and eventually progresses to off-lead play within their designated group. It's completely normal for new dogs to feel some fear, anxiety, or stress in a new setting, but we have to take multiple factors into consideration to ensure the wellbeing of both your dog and ours.

How will my dogs play group be determined?
We determine the best playgroup for your dog by reviewing the information provided in your enrolment form and by observing how your dog interacts with specific dogs during their suitability assessment. Many dogs will change between playgroups depending on their needs at that time.

How long is a trial session and how much does it cost?
Our trial sessions cost $30 for 3 hours. This price includes a daycare suitability assessment, daily report card, first day photo and close monitoring throughout.

How can I make my booking?
With the influx of new clients, we're managing bookings directly instead of through an app or website. If you send us a message at 0402000576, we can provide you the enrolment form link and find a suitable time for your first booking.

When can I make my booking?
Trial visits can be scheduled anytime during our opening hours to suit your schedule. We recommend a mid-morning visit if possible, as it helps avoid the morning rush and allows for a smoother experience for your dog.

From Ray the Dalmatians family “It's a rare sight to see this poppet so exhausted! Ray has had an absolute blast at Doggy Den Daycare today - thanks Shanae and Todd for providing him with such exceptional care - he's completely spent! I highly recommend the Doggy Den, it's been a game-changer for socialising and exercising Ray, and it's a huge relief knowing he's in good hands when we're busy ❤️❤️ “

From Wally the Whippets family “🌟 CARING AND FRIENDLY 🌟 EXTREMELY ATTENTIVE 🌟 SAFE SPACE FOR ALL DOGS 🌟 OPPORTUNITIES FOR ENRICHMENT🌟A BEAUTIFUL AND CLEAN FACILITY 🌟
The staff and volunteers at the Doggy Den will love your dog as their own 🩵. They take the time to understand each dog's personality and their needs, then plan the day accordingly to ensure each dog in their care has a positive experience at the centre 🐶 .
The regular photo updates and daily report cards are just an added bonus 🤩. I feel confident leaving Wally in the care of “The Doggy Den” and highly recommend them for anyone looking for a day care facility for their pooch 🐕!”
