Doggie Day Mother

25/01/2025

And here I was thinking that January was going to be a record quiet month due to our closure on the 28th but I was mistaken!

A heartfelt THANK YOU to our wonderful clients who chose to support us right to the end. Our three groomdays were bumper to bumper and our daycare and accommodation schedules were filled to capacity every day since the 3rd January.

I am humbled and deeply grateful that we can bow out on a high note feeling that we are loved, valued and that we will be missed.

Up until this Tuesday we will make the last of our stock available at give-away prices as we are now in the final days of packing up and preparing our premises for handover.

Do stay tuned! ❤️

It was a remarkable holiday season for the Doggie Day Mother - At Home Care Team. The service is only in its second year and during the past six weeks we’ve cared for a total of 33 much loved pets in the comfort of their own homes.

A huge HIGH FIVE and THANK YOU to our Carers & Companions who made themselves available and to all the clients who trust us to care for their pets and their homes. Its a great honour and privilege ❤️

I sometimes wonder why dogs are so good to us.
We don’t deserve it, not really. We’re flawed, selfish creatures, stumbling through life, yet there they are, offering us something pure, something real.
They love us without conditions, without asking for anything in return, just happy to be by our side. Maybe it’s because they see something in us we can’t see in ourselves, a goodness we’ve forgotten or buried under layers .
They don’t care about our mistakes, our shortcomings they just see the person who feeds them, who takes them for walks, who sits quietly beside them in the dark. And somehow, they make us better, just by being there. They remind us that there’s still something worth loving in this messy, chaotic world. Dogs don’t hold grudges, they don’t judge—they just give.
And maybe that’s the lesson we’re too blind to learn: that being good isn’t about perfection, it’s about showing up, day after day, with a heart wide open, no matter how many times it gets bruised.
