Our Story
Where one promise to respect every dog built a whole retreat
Right in the heart of the East Coast, Doggie Retreat is more than just a daycare. It’s a space built entirely for dogs. We’ve dedicated all three floors of our building to creating a safe, cage-free environment where dogs can simply be dogs. No pressure. No force. Just respect, freedom, and care.
Our ethos is simple. Every dog deserves to be respected.
That means recognising that each dog is different. Some love a crowd. Others prefer calm. Some race into group play. Others need time. We never make them fit into a programme. We build the programme around them.
Our team is what makes this possible. Every staff member is handpicked not just for their experience but for how they read dogs. Gently. Quietly. With intention. They are trained to lead with empathy, not dominance. To tune in, not take over. Our dogs are given choices, not commands. And when a dog says no, we listen.
From air-conditioned indoor playrooms to beach outings and dog run visits, we structure each day around engagement, rest, and healthy socialisation. And through it all, we keep you updated with honest check-ins, photos, and videos. Because we know how much they mean to you too.
At Doggie Retreat, we don’t just care for dogs. We learn from them. We adapt to them. And we grow with them.
