Our values
Through the ages and today dogs have loyally served the needs of humans, offering us their remarkable skills, devotion and empathy. We honour that service and that bond. All dogs need the mental stimulation and physical benefits of exercise and the reassurance of human attention. Dogdayz is built on a philosophy of giving back to dogs a little of all we have received from them. Our values are our guide: to keep them happy, keep them healthy, keep them safe.
History of Dogdayz
The Origins of Dogdayz go back to 1956, the year of the Melbourne Olympics. In that year, Mrs. Anne Stewart, a well-respected breeder and show judge of Border Collies, established a boarding kennel at Warrandyte: Lyndon Park, which established a reputation for high standards and individualised care. In 1998, the business transferred to current owner and Director David Ellis. David identified the need for this same high quality care in other locations—subsequently opening in Silvan (initially as ‘Lyndon Grange’) and Diggers Rest / Toolern Vale. Early in 2013 the business rebranded as Dogdayz across all three sites. Today, Dogdayz offers a range of premium dog care services: boarding, daycare, pet transport and dog health care – exceptional dog care to all dogs across metropolitan Melbourne.

Our clients say…
“Thanks so much to David and the team at Dogdayz Warrandyte, it is always such a pleasure having Bella and Patches stay with you. We were able to completely relax on our holiday and I bet they enjoyed their holiday just as much!”
Lisa B“I can’t praise the staff highly enough for the way they looked after our dogs. They sent us photos, provided updates and even made sure they celebrated Rosie’s second birthday.”
Stephanie P“We made the best decision possible for our dog Skipper by entrusting his care to Dogdayz Silvan…We could not be happier with our choice of high quality pet care, and would recommend in the strongest way in every respect to everyone.”
