I’m Lorraine and I have been working with animals for over thirty years, beginning in shelters and then establishing my own in-home animal minding and dog walking service - ‘Pampered Pets’.  My dream was to develop a place for owners to have their dogs cared for in a safe, family-oriented environment where they are free to interact and play games all day.  My greatest satisfaction is seeing dogs pulling their owners with anticipation at coming to day care again.  My clients and staff are wonderful.  I believe I have the best job in the world.

Hi.  My name is Tanya and I’m the proud mum of a Kelpie X called Clive, and a Husky X named Coco, both rescued through the Pawphanage.  I worked as a Vet’ nurse before joining the team at Doggie Day Care over two years ago.  I love every aspect of my day.  There’s always a new story to be told, happy faces to brighten my day, and the great clients to drop off and pick up their babies.

Hi.  I’m Mandy and I’ve had over ten years in puppy, kitten and other animals’ care.  One of our brood is Tipsy who we adopted through the Pawphanage one year ago.  She warms our hearts with her antics and kindness.

Hi there.  I am Cecilia and I come from China.  I had specialist training for dog grooming in Beijing, China, and worked at “Poodle Family” in Qingdao where I was the premier groomer.  In 2006 I was awarded Champion Groomer at the Qingdao International All Breed Show Grooming Competition-Open Division.   I love dogs and I take great pleasure in grooming every dog as if it was my own. 

I just love to work here with dogs of all different sizes and breeds.  I study Dog Behaviour and Obedience, and I hope to become a trainer of assistance dogs.  I also practise Dog Listening - a gentle but powerful style of dog ownership.  At home I rehabilitate problematic dogs before they are put up for adoption. Its very rewarding and I love it.

Hey there!  My name is Ashlee and I’m a dog-aholic, always having had dogs by my side.  I have worked in shelters and have a Diploma in Animal Technology.  My soft spot is for Great Danes, Boxers and Golden Retrievers.  I love coming to work with all the tails wagging and with very special people.
