How doggy day care works
What a day consists of
-
Drop off and pick up
At The Woofs of Ball St, we understand the importance of a seamless drop-off experience. Our streamlined process ensures a hassle-free transition for your furry companions, setting the tone for a positive day ahead.
6:00 a.m. – 9:30 a.m. | Valet Drop-Off & Morning Hellos
Pups arrive via our Kiss and Goodbye valet service, where they’re greeted by our friendly team. You don’t even have to get out of your car! One of our staff members will help your pup settle in. They can stretch their legs and socialise in our cozy indoor lounge or explore the courtyard as we prepare for a day of fun. Early birds enjoy gentle music to start their day while our staff allocates pups based on their personalities.
9:30 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. | Outdoor Adventure & Potty Training Time
The pack heads outside to our spacious courtyard, where they can roam and play in a natural environment. This time helps promote good potty habits, encouraging outdoor peeing so there are fewer accidents inside. We’ll also turn on the bubble machines for some extra excitement, giving pups a fun way to chase and interact while enjoying the fresh air.

Activities and socialisation
Once settled into our care, your pets embark on a day filled with tailored activities. From interactive play sessions to stimulating toys and socialisation with fellow dogs, we provide a dynamic and enjoyable environment that caters to their physical and social needs.
11:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. | Platinum Lounge Meditation
After a fun-filled morning, it’s time to unwind in the Platinum Lounge. The pups can relax on plush beds, watching “Paw TV,” as calming music plays to set the mood. We’ll lead them through a short meditation session, encouraging relaxation, balance, and a peaceful state of mind.
12:30 p.m. – 1:30 p.m. | Midday Sniffari & Enrichment Safari
It’s time for our interactive Sniffari! This is a special activity designed to engage the dogs’ natural sniffing instincts. We introduce different enrichment activities, from puzzle games to treat searches, allowing dogs to use their brains and noses for exploration and discovery.
1:30 p.m. – 3:30 p.m. | Music & Movement Play
Afternoons are all about movement! We change up the music to something more upbeat, creating an exciting environment for the dogs to engage in supervised playgroups. Whether it’s tug-of-war, fetch, or agility games, there’s plenty to keep them stimulated and active. Did we mention we have bubble machines!!

Quiet time for relaxation
To strike a balance, we incorporate designated quiet time intervals during the day. This allows your dogs to unwind and recharge in a serene space, respecting their need for moments of calm and rejuvenation. At The Woofs of Ball St, we prioritise their overall well-being.
3:30 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. | Cool Down & Quiet Time
Before pick-up, the dogs enjoy a cool-down session back in the Platinum Lounge with calming music to transition them into a more relaxed state. Light stretching and low-energy activities ensure that each pup is content and calm before heading home.
4:00 p.m. – 6:30 p.m. | Valet Pick-Up Time
Time to reunite! Using our Kiss and Goodbye valet service, your happy, fulfilled pup will be ready for pick-up, having enjoyed a full day of play, enrichment, and relaxation. Remember, you don’t have to get out of your car; our friendly staff will assist you!
