How It Works
Getting started is simple.
Every new day care client goes through the same relaxed process, so both you and your dog feel completely at ease before the first visit.
01
Free consultation
A 45-90 minute consultation is required, so that we can get to know your fur baby and talk through their routine.
02
Trial day
A trial day is booked so your dog gets to see where they'll be going for socialisation, learning, play and cuddles.
03
Booking confirmed
Once everyone's happy, we confirm your regular days, transport needs and any routine notes.
04
Drop off & play
Your dog is picked up or dropped off, ready for a day of play, learning and socialising with the team.

Prices start from £27 per day for an individual dog, £50 for two dogs, £70 for three dogs (a maximum of three in any family household). Free local transport is included within a 5-mile radius. Annual bank holidays are charged at double the standard rate.

"What can we say about Pad Paws other than LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! Basil our beautiful Boxer pup was a very nervous boy before he went for his first play date at Auntie Joy's. But within a few weeks of fun, care and nurturing by Joy and the team he is a completely changed lad. Confident and caring and full of cuddles and kisses. Joy knows her trade well and carefully selects the poochies she puts together on any one day. He has the sixth sense that doggies seem to have in the morning of his weekly stay at Pad Paws. Talk about excited!!! If he could, he'd go to see his Auntie Joy and all his friends every day. Thank you so much from Basil and all of us hoomans too!"

"Love Pad Paws - can go away on holiday and leave my fur baby assured she is getting the best care and attention. Joy is fabulous in responding and sends updates and photos to me for my peace of mind. I'm not local to Pad Paws and the journey up the M6 is definitely worth it - wouldn't go anywhere else for 5 star dog care. Thank you Pad Paws 🐾"
