Hi, I'm Paige πŸ‘‹

A home away from home

Less kennel, more couch.

I'm starting something I've wanted to do for ages β€” a small, home-based dog boarding and daycare retreat near Rocky Cape. It's a calm, low-key spot for friendly, social dogs to stay in a real home setting alongside my two resident pups, Luna and Winnie.

Think of it as the relaxed alternative to a busy kennel β€” fewer dogs, more attention, and a focus on comfort, routine and proper personal care. Your dog gets to be part of the family while you're away. Tails will wag. Probably yours too.

What's on offer

Two ways to stay

Whether it's a working day or a fortnight away, your dog gets the same comfy, home-based deal.

  • 🐾 Daily walks & play, photo updates for you

Doggy Daycare

Off at work? Drop the pup with us. A full day of company, sniffs and snoozes so they're happy and worn out by home time β€” no lonely days staring at the door.

  • 🐾 Drop-off & pick-up around your work day
  • 🐾 Playmates, backyard zoomies & rest time
  • 🐾 Comes home tired, happy & ready for bed

Good questions

Frequently woofed

Friendly, social and well-mannered dogs who enjoy a bit of company. Because it's a home setting with my own two dogs around, guests need to be good with other dogs and people. Not sure if your pup fits? Just ask β€” that's what the meet & greet is for.
Yes please β€” all guests need to be up to date on their vaccinations (C5 / 5-in-1) for everyone's safety. Just bring a copy along to the meet & greet. Flea, tick and worming treatment up to date is a must too.
Their own food (keeping their diet the same keeps tummies happy), their bed or a familiar blanket, any meds, and of course a favourite toy. Bring whatever helps them feel at home.
Always. Before any boarding stay we'll do a free trial visit so your dog can explore, meet Luna & Winnie, and make sure everyone's comfortable. No surprises on drop-off day.
I'm based near Rocky Cape on the NW coast and happily look after dogs from right across the Devonport to Smithton stretch. Drop-off and pick-up arrangements are flexible β€” just ask.
Easiest way is the online enquiry form, or give me a call/text on 0401 380 491. Pricing depends on your dog and the dates, so I'll always give you a clear quote up front. You can also find me on Mad Paws.
