The best daycare when you can’t be there
We understand that while we all wish we could be with our dogs around the clock, many of us have busy lives that take us away from home. Pawprints Dog Day care offers a solution for those times when you can’t be there.
At Pawprints, your dog will stay active and social in a safe, supervised environment. You won’t have to worry about boredom, loneliness, or mischief at home. Instead, your dog will have the opportunity to make new friends and simply enjoy being a dog!
Whether you’re at work or simply want to provide your dog with extra enrichment, Pawprints is here for you. We offer enriching activities, safe socialization, and expert care to ensure your dog has a happy and fulfilling day.
At Pawprints Dog Daycare, we take a different approach to ensure your dog has a balanced and enriching experience. Unlike centers that allow large groups to run together all day, we focus on structured care that stands out from the crowd.
We believe that socialising and engagement goes beyond just play. Instead of constant play, we involve the dogs in activities that challenge their brains and noses as well as their bodies.
This shifts the focus from simple playtime toward active learning and development.
In addition to scheduled lunchtime and end-of-day naps, we also incorporate rest time between group play sessions. This downtime allows your dog to relax and recharge, preventing over-arousal and stress. A well-rested dog is a happy dog, and we want to avoid any unwanted situations that can arise from exhaustion or anxiety.
Rest can take various forms, including:
We offer flexible booking designed to meet your specific needs. We do not require regular daycare bookings and can accommodate everything from daily visits to occasional stays.
Whether you work in an office or from home, providing your dog with structured, enriching time away is highly beneficial for maintaining their independence and confidence. It also offers you peace of mind knowing your dog is active and engaged. Additionally, many of our clients utilize our services adhoc, when they have planned outings where dogs cannot attend.
We recognize that every dog has a unique personality and to ensure a positive experience, we carefully match each dog with a compatible group of playmates.
All new dogs must participate in a trial session for a suitability assessment. This allows us to understand each dog’s specific needs, determine which playgroup best suits their personality, and ensure our environment is the right fit. If we feel we cannot adequately meet any dog’s requirements, we will say.
We always keep our playgroups small, and for timid dogs, we offer the option of pairing them with just one or two calm companions to help build their confidence gradually. For dogs that are less playful or prefer a quieter environment, we provide alternative forms of enrichment to ensure they have a satisfying stay.
At Pawprints Dog Daycare, your dog’s safety and well-being are our top priorities. Your furry friend is always under the constant supervision of our dedicated dog handlers, who are professionally trained in animal care.
Our team holds regular staff meetings to discuss individual behaviours, health concerns, and specific needs. These briefings ensure we remain fully updated on each dog’s status, including medical recovery, neutering updates, or medication requirements.
We are committed to providing a proactive, safe, and happy environment for your dog.
Dog daycare can offer your furry friend a wealth of benefits. From reducing anxiety and promoting calmness to providing essential exercise and socialization, daycare can be a great option for dogs of all ages.
At Pawprints, we offer:
* Mental stimulation and enrichment
* Positive social interaction
* Opportunities to build confidence and independence
* Prevention of separation anxiety
* Tailored exercise programs for all ages and abilities
* Daily updates to pet parents
* Individualized advice and support
With our daycare services, you can rest assured that your dog is happy, safe, and well-cared for when you cant be there.
Our facilities are designed with your dog’s well-being in mind. Our outdoor play areas offer plenty of natural shade, while our indoor spaces are equipped with fans and coolers for warm days and heaters for colder ones. Your dog will be comfortable no matter the season.
We also prioritize safety. Our daycare centre features multiple play areas, all secured with dog-proof fencing and a double-gate system to prevent escapes. This creates a safe and fun environment where your dog can play freely with their friends.
