The Sky

Maximum 8 dogs

Our biggest pen of all, the Sky pen boasts enough space to host our most rambunctious and spirited fur babies. Where the sky is the limit, Bailey and Zoey’s pooch pals can soar to the greatest of heights and fly faster than the speed of light (or so we like to believe) in the Sky pen.

Your First Visit

All new fur-iends at Bailey and Zoey’s must first successfully complete a temperament test. This test occurs during their FREE trial day, or as we like to call it, Dog-rientation Day! A summary of what is included in the temperament test is listed below.

To book your dog in for their Dog-rientation Day, click on the ‘Book Now’ button at the top of the page.

  • Initial welcome, tour of the daycare, initiation onto our Paw-ll of Fame, assigning a cubby box to store your pet’s items, confirmation of account set-up and details.

  • Working one on one with a staff member to build trust. We will conduct basic obedience and temperament testing to determine the pawfect play pen for your pet and prepare for an introduction to other canine friends.

  • Begin by entering their assigned play pen on lead, meeting their future canine besties, and encouraging play and exploration.

  • Toys are removed from pens, comfy beds come out, and the dogs are encouraged to rest and recover from their busy morning.

  • The activity of the day is brought out - could include a ball pit, water hose, art class, etc.

    Meanwhile, our canine friends who opt-in for a group walk session are taken to the local reserve for a stroll and plenty of sniffs as part of outside stimulation.

  • The toys and beds come back out to allow your pooch the freedom to decide what they do with the rest of their day - whether it be playing with their new friends, cuddling up in one of our pet beds for an additional snooze, or playing with their choice of our many toys.

  • Once you arrive to pick up your pooch, we will take the time to give you a rundown of their first day, share the results of our temperament assessment, and present your pooch with their Dog-rientation Day goody bag.

    Upon successfully completing the temperament assessment, your online account will be given full access to book as many days of doggy daycare as you like.

Daily Schedule

Once your pooch has successfully graduated from their Dog-rientation Day, they are welcome to visit and play at Bailey and Zoey’s Doggy Daycare as often as they like! While we do try to ensure every day is different at Bailey and Zoey’s, each day will follow a similar structure to the timetable listed below.

  • Your canine friend is dropped-off at Bailey and Zoey’s Doggy Daycare at the selected time. Upon arrival, your pooch’s belongings are stored in their own cubby and they are taken into their allocated play pen for the day.

  • The toys come out and dogs are encouraged to play and explore with the goal of building upon their pre-existing confidence and socialisation skills.

    Meanwhile, half of our canine friends who opt-in for a group walk session are taken to the local reserve for a stroll and plenty of sniffs as part of outside stimulation.

  • Toys are removed from pens, comfy beds come out, and the dogs are encouraged to rest and recover from their busy morning.
