We like the friendly feel of the place, the roomy sleeping quarters and the secure grassed areas where the dogs can socialise. Thank you for the wonderful service you provide. It gives us peace of mind knowing that she is being looked after by such caring people.

Remove the guilt of leaving your dog at home, or from having them at home whilst you work from home.
We understand how stressful it can be caring for a dog whilst you’re working full-time, being a parent (of human children) & having to juggle life’s priorities. Therefore, leave the care & stimulation of your small dog with us.
We will ensure that your pooch goes home happy & tired after a day of stimulation, enrichment, lots of love and attention.

Frequently Asked Questions
Check out some of frequently asked questions that we get from new guests
How much exercise does my dog get each day?
As we believe in the importance of exercise for your pet’s health and well-being, our guests have complimentary access to the grassed garden areas from morning to late afternoon. We also have an indoor play area.
What happens when it rains all day?
We have a large indoor play area in which our guests will have a number of supervised play times during the course of the day.
Will my dog get too hot/cold?
All of our accommodation is heated and air-conditioned. On wet, extremely hot, or cold days we have an indoor playroom for the dogs to use.
Medications … is there a charge?
We do administer medications and there is no additional charge, as we already spend one on one time with each pet daily. Please ensure each medication is clearly marked with your pet’s name and dosage level.
Do you charge extra for old dogs?
Of course not, we love our older guests; many of them have been coming here since they were puppies. We have a special outdoor area for the older dogs to explore, and our heated /air-conditioned accommodation ensures that they are always at a comfortable temperature. Medication, eye, and ear cleaning are all part of our standard care.
What if my dog gets sick?
With our collective experience in pet care, it is easy for us to see when your dog is ‘off-colour’. Our local vet at Terrey Hills is only a few minutes from here and is ‘on-call’. We will always contact you or your designated emergency contact if we detect a problem.
What if my dog is not de-sexed?
We ask that all of our guests over the age of 6 months be de-sexed. This prevents any dominance behavioural issues arising.
What food do you provide?
We provide Prime 100 Chicken and Vegetable loaf, Supercoat Dry Food, My Dog tinned variety and Blackhawk Dry Food.
