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 are committed to providing the highest quality care for your beloved pet. We understand that your dog’s happiness, stimulation, and respectful treatment are of utmost importance.
Our dedicated team takes the time to get to know each dog personally, ensuring we fully understand their individual character and needs. This allows us to tailor their day to meet their specific requirements.
Under the constant supervision of our fully trained play leaders, your dog will have the freedom to play and socialize in a natural, outdoor environment, all while you’re hard at work.
Every visit to Pawprints provides your dog with essential mental and physical stimulation through enrichment activities and regular playtime.
These enrichment activities challenge your dog’s mind, preventing boredom, building confidence, and teaching valuable skills like problem-solving. They also encourage your dog to explore their natural behaviours and instincts.
To keep your dog engaged and help them build relationships with our team, we frequently rotate our enrichment activities. We tailor these activities and their durations to each dog’s individual needs, ensuring that even older dogs receive a stimulating, but less physically demanding, experience.
Your dog will receive plenty of physical exercise and mental stimulation at our daycare. They’ll be able to burn off energy in a safe, secure environment that promotes both physical and mental well-being.
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 alone time in our quiet crate area, relaxation in large pens, or snoozing in our dedicated nap rooms.
Dogs are pack animals and thrive on social interaction. At Paw Prints, we prioritize safe socialization to help your dog learn appropriate behaviour around other dogs and understand their social cues. This approach can prevent aggression and other behavioural issues that may arise from improper socialization.
We recognize that each dog has a unique personality. That’s why we carefully match your dog with a compatible group of playmates based on age, size, and play style. This allows your dog to make new friends and reconnect with old ones in a fun and supervised environment. Our dedicated staff closely monitors all playgroups to ensure a positive experience for every dog.
We keep our playgroups small, and for any timid dogs, we offer the option of pairing them with just one or two other calm dogs to help them build confidence gradually.
At Pawprints Dog Daycare, we understand that your dog’s safety and well-being are your top priorities. Rest assured, your furry friend will be under the constant supervision of our dedicated dog handlers. Our staff members are not only trained in animal care but are also pet owners themselves. This means they have firsthand experience and understand the importance of providing the highest quality care for your beloved companion.
Dogs thrive on routine, both at home and at day care. At Pawprints, we provide a structured day of activities for your furry friend. Maintaining a consistent routine reduces stress and helps your dog adapt better to different environments. In fact, some pet parents tell us their dog knows exactly which days are day care days and can’t wait to come play!
We understand that it’s never easy leaving your dog so throughout the day, we post daily photo/video updates on our Facebook page so that you can check in and stay updated with all the fun no matter where you are.
We also post regular updates on our other social media platforms, including Instagram and TikTok!
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.
EXCELLENT Based on 56 reviews Frannie B2025-02-03Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My two young Labradors have been attending Pawprints since they were puppies, they are now grown up dogs. My two are always happy to go to Pawprints and as soon as I say there name their tales wag, which is a great testimony of how much fun they have and how well they are looked after. Thank you Pawprints 🐕🐕❤️

I have nothing but high praise for this super friendly but professionally run and organised doggy day care rural retreat that has your dog’s well being and enjoyment at the heart of all it does. I have been bringing my 9-year old cocker spaniel, Alfie since his puppy days and he is one of the family. Thank you to Lorraine who had the vision to set this resource up and all her dedicated team who make this place so special 🐶💖🤩

Thankyou so much Nicola, what a lovely review for us xxxx Tim Chandler2024-12-20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our dog has so much fun here, she is so excited she squeaks when we turn into the entrance and can't wait to see her friends. Lorraine and all the staff are friendly and very helpful. Plenty of mental and physical exertion means she is ready for a quiet night when we pick her up. Lots of training practice has helped the fluffy one pick up instructions quickly with us at home as well. The report cards are a great touch as well as the social media updates. I would highly recommend Pawprints to anyone. With our hybrid working it means we can go into the office when we need to and our pup gets plenty of socialisation. The flexibility is perfect for us as we can change days easily with the option of half days if needed.

Not having to set a schedule and being able to drop Mika off on random days with minimal notice is an absolute game changer. Even after just a trial morning she was so excited to go back.

Dale Wicks2024-04-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Been sending my dog here for over 6 years since she was a pup. Really pleased with how they look after her and keep her active. The staff are all great and I know she is safe during the day and she is always tired when she comes home. Knowing she is well looked after is so important to us as she is more than a pet. Thank you to Lorraine and her team for all that they do.
