Day Care

More than just dog sitting.

Structured, enrichment-based day care designed to help dogs live happier, calmer and more fulfilled lives.

Does this sound familiar?

You get home from work and your dog still has energy to burn.

Despite your best efforts, it feels like they need more than you're able to give during a busy week.

You feel guilty leaving your dog home alone all day.

You wish they had companionship, enrichment and something to look forward to while you're at work.
Your dog loves other dogs and would benefit from more opportunities to socialise.
Making friends and learning appropriate social skills can be just as important as physical exercise.
You don't trust the dog park (and honestly, we don't blame you).
Unfamiliar dogs, unpredictable interactions and a lack of supervision can make dog parks feel more stressful than fun.

Your dog seems bored, restless or under-stimulated.
Sometimes dogs need more than a walk around the block. They need opportunities to play, sniff, learn and engage with the world around them.

You don't just want someone to supervise your dog - you want people who genuinely understand dogs.

Because where you leave your dog should feel like an extension of your family.

If this sounds like you, you're in the right place.

My dog is obsessed with daycare and it’s easy to know why. The staff is wonderful and the amenities + activities are great. The online booking system is easy to use and the daily pictures, videos and reports are so good!

I cannot recommend this place enough, it’s a fantastic place to send your pup for daycare!
The staff here take the time to learn about your pet and tailor their activities to their temperament. Dogs are matched with other dogs really well so that the high energy pups don’t run over the more chill pets.
This place helped bring my boy out of his shell and make friends with other dogs, but he’s just as happy on the days he gets to cuddle people and snooze.
100% worth it!

Our pup has been 2 other doggy daycare centres before HPWT, and we can honestly say that she's been the happiest puppy since she started attending. She whines with excitement as we wait at the front door every week. We love how the team are attuned to her likes and dislikes, and that they provide enrichment and a variety of activities to keep her mind stimulated. HPWT has filled a much-needed gap in our community after the last doggy daycare centre closed its doors.
