Charlie's Mates

Call Directions Website Contact the business

We offer doggy daycare, walking, training and grooming services At Charlie's Mates, we believe every pup deserves the highest level of care all the time.

Similar to a child's day-care, our services are tailored in such a way as to offer the utmost quality care for your four-legged friend. OUR METHOD

We separate each dog by temperament, size and provide a supervised environment that lets them exercise, socialise, and have fun-filled days. So you can rest assured your pup will come home happy and healthy. Our highly skilled team ensures your doggo gets the best quality of care, be it going on one of our walks, day-care services, staying overnight or joins one of our training programs. But, what sets us apart is the love and affection that we shower on every pup, every day. The care we provide is much more than ensuring your pup gets a round of exercise; we take it as our responsibility to give your dog the same love and affection you do. Each dog at Charlie's Mates is more than a "client"; they are family. MEET THE PACK LEADERS

All our professional dog walkers provide personalised services to suit your pup's needs. We are pup lovers who genuinely care about the dogs we work with and continually work to advance our skills by taking additional courses and certifications. We love playing with our fur friends and give them the attention, exercise and affection they need and deserve! So, if you've got places to be, friends to see and things to do, one of our professional walkers will ensure you have enough time to accomplish all that. Trust us with your fur baby any time you are busy or away from them, and never have to worry about your pup getting the best attention. DOG WALKING

Just like you, your fur baby needs daily exercise. Walking is an integral part of their daily exercise, and they are happier when walked frequently. We know you may not have the luxury of time to walk your dog each day to keep them happy and healthy. So we ensure your pup gets some quality time out of the house and yard. DOGGO DAYCARE

There is no need to leave your fur babies lonely at home while you are away. Our daycare offers a home away from home

DOG TRAINING & ADVICE

Enjoy A Happy And Healthy Pup With Our Professional Training and Advice Service

We customise a structured training plan catered for you and your pup. Starting with an in-home assessment. This includes hands-on training designed to help your pup and family have the best possible experience during their exciting journey. We only use force-free positive reinforcement methods and can work with you on a range of different problems.

🐾 GIVE YOUR OLD DOG TOYS A NEW HOME! 🐾

We're excited to be supporting Henry's Dog Toy Swap Meet! 💜

Work in dog grooming? I’d love your input 🐾

I’ve launched the Australian Dog Grooming Industry Survey 2026 through Daggie Dog to get a clearer picture of what people earn, what salons charge and what it costs to run a grooming business.

It’s open to owners, employees, contractors, trainees and bathers across Australia.

Please fill it in and share it with your friends and contacts in the industry. The more people we hear from, the more useful the results will be.

We’ll publish grouped findings without identifying individuals or businesses, and you can request a free copy of the report.

Thanks for helping get it out there!

We’re looking for an experienced groomer who takes pride in their work, genuinely cares about dogs and wants to build a long-term career with us.

• Nail, ear and coat care
• Working confidently with different breeds, coats and temperaments
• Assessing each dog’s coat, skin, behaviour and comfort
• Communicating clearly with owners about their dog’s grooming needs
• Maintaining a clean, safe and well-organised salon

We’re looking for someone who:

• Has professional dog grooming experience
• Produces consistent, high-quality finishes
• Uses calm, safe and low-stress handling
• Can manage their appointments and time without compromising quality
• Is reliable, supportive and works well in a team
• Wants to keep learning and developing their career

Why join Charlie’s Mates?

• Above-award pay based on experience and skill
• Full-time or part-time options available after probation
• Supportive team and sustainable workloads
• Training and professional development
• Clear career progression from Groomer to Senior Groomer, Salon Manager and future leadership roles
• The opportunity to join a growing Australian pet-care group that values groomers as skilled professionals

Our approach is simple:

Raising standards. Supporting professionals. Putting dogs first.

To apply, email [email protected] with a short introduction, your grooming experience and a few examples of your work.
