The best daycare when you can’t be there

What is dog daycare?

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.

What we do

Perfect playmates, every 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.

Enrichment Activities

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.

Mental & Physical Health for Dogs

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.

Rest

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.

Safe Socialisation

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.

Staff Supervision

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.

Scheduled Routines

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!

Regular Updates

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!

Safe and Secure Environment
