Welcome to Dexter's

Because while you're at work or busy, your dog deserves a day they'll genuinely enjoy.

At Dexter's Doggy Daycare, we believe daycare should be about far more than supervision. Every dog enjoys a carefully planned day of social interaction, enrichment, exercise and rest, tailored to their individual personality and needs.

Choosing a doggy daycare is a big decision.

You're trusting someone with a member of your family.

That's why everything we do is centred around safety, structure and understanding each dog's individual needs.

Carefully Managed Groups

Dogs aren't simply mixed together.

We gradually introduce every new dog and carefully match them with suitable companions based on size, confidence and play style.

Enrichment That Has A Purpose

Every day includes activities designed to stimulate both body and mind.

From scent work and puzzle games to interactive play, enrichment and FUN is built into everything we do!

Rest Is Just As Important

Dogs need downtime too.

Our daily routine balances play with quiet periods so dogs don't become overwhelmed or overtired.

Every New Dog Starts With A Discovery Session

We know leaving your dog somewhere new can feel daunting.

That's why every dog joins us through a Discovery Session.

During this visit we'll:

✔ Get to know your dog's personality

✔ Introduce them carefully

✔ Assess how they interact with others

✔ Make sure daycare is right for them

✔ Answer any questions you have

It gives both you and your dog the confidence to start their daycare journey the right way.
