Doggy Daycare: A Safe and Fun Place for Your Beloved Pup
Here at Paddington Pups, we offer a convenient walk-in Daycare service and do not require bookings! That’s right, you can bring your dog here whenever it suits you!*
We have a huge indoor space with four separate play areas, meaning we always have a safe, comfortable group here for your dog.
We provide a fun, safe, and clean environment for your dog to socialise, exercise, and play.
Doggy Daycare is a fantastic way to improve or maintain your pup’s valuable social skills, prevent doggie boredom, and reduce the possibility of separation anxiety when left home alone.
Every well-adjusted dog needs those critical doggie skills!

Paddington Pups Desexing Policy
It is a requirement of our facility that all dogs aged 6 months and over must be desexed to attend Daycare.
Any dog aged between 6 to 12 months who is not desexed will only be allowed to attend Daycare by approval only. This decision will be based upon veterinary advice and whether or not there are any behavioural issues associated with the dog that may be affecting other dogs in the Daycare group.
Any dogs over the age of 12 months who are not desexed will strictly not be allowed to attend Daycare.
At Paddington Pups we strive to provide a safe space for dogs that dog owners can trust, which is why we have this desexing policy in place.

What a Day of Doggy Daycare Looks Like
Paddington Pups has cared for Brisbane dogs since 2004 at our indoor centre at 12 Parkview St, Milton QLD 4064, led by owner Bree and manager Danni.
Your dog spends the day playing indoors across four separate, air-conditioned play zones matched by size, energy level, and temperament.
There is one staff member to every 10 to 13 dogs, never more than 13.
Our crew runs a scheduled indoor exercise and rest routine through the day instead of taking daycare dogs out on road walks.
Learning to relax and settle calmly around other dogs is built into every session, and we clean and sterilise all four play areas every day.

New dogs need an account first and must pass their first day assessment to keep coming.
Can doggy daycare help with separation anxiety?
Regular daycare keeps your dog social and busy, which can reduce the chance of separation anxiety when they are left home alone.
If your dog already struggles when you leave, talk to our crew before the first visit.
What should I bring to doggy daycare?
Please leave toys, beds, and other belongings at home.
If your dog needs a meal during the day, you can bring it or add lunch for $8 or a treat for $4.
How are dogs grouped and supervised?
We choose play areas and play groups across our four indoor zones so each dog plays with dogs that suit their personality, temperament, and size.
There is one staff member to every 10 to 13 dogs, never more than 13.
What is the difference between doggy daycare and boarding?
Daycare is a day of play and socialisation, and your dog goes home with you the same day.
Boarding is for overnight stays ($120 per night casual), and weekly daycare members get 20% off boarding ($96 per night).
