Dog day care – a day of adventure!
A safe, secure environment for your dog to enjoy the company of other guests and practise their social skills under constant supervision. Your dog will enjoy loads of toys, play equipment and games, plus one-on-one time with our staff (which means socialising with new humans), and of course, the comfort of cuddles. There’s no chance your dog will get bored with so much to do!
Our dog daycare services are open to small and large dog breeds, and when it comes to socialising we match dogs of an appropriate size and temperament.
Daycare is open Monday to Saturday from 8.30am to 4.30pm.
(*Pricing differs according to dog size and Dogdayz location. See our pricing page or email us for a customised quote.)
The personal touch
Every activity at dog day care is overseen by professional, loving staff who attend to your dogs every need and provide constant attention throughout the day. After a morning play we have structured rest time so that your dog is ready to go again in the afternoon! Cuddles are an essential part of the service and come free of charge!
A home away from home
Our dog day care facilities offer plenty of wide open spaces for your dog to enjoy the great outdoors—but also cosy areas to rest and recharge.
Plenty of human affection while your dog is away from you too.

Daycare activities :
Orchard Runs
A crowd favourite of our daycare activities, our guests get to run and be dogs, chasing each other and dashing through our lemon orchard.
Plunge Pool
Is your dog ready to take the plunge? Our pools are a hit on a warm day and have safe access to/from the water’s edge. Smaller breeds need not fear—we have a number of paddle pools for you to splash around in!
Frisbee
A fun game of frisbee keeps dogs active and focused!
Bubble Popping & Gym Ball Herding
Almost every dog loves to chase bubbles, it makes for great photos and everyone has a ball getting involved! We also have a number of large Gym Balls on hand for dogs that love to chase, herd and score a goal!
River Swims
Available during the warmer months to dogs with proven recall, river swimming is enormous fun for dogs. Warrandyte Dogdayz have their own riverside location which is private and secure.
Dog Daycare near the airport
Heading interstate for the day? Dogdayz in Greenvale is only a 15 minute drive to Melbourne Airport, which means you can drop your dog off at our Greenvale facility before your flight, and pick them up when you return home. And if there are any issues with flight delays or cancellations, you can chat to our team about an overnight stay for your dog, (if places are available).
Dog Daycare in Melbourne’s North-West
Whilst there are Dogdayz facilities scattered across Melbourne, our new Dogdayz centre in Greenvale is the first to open in Melbourne’s north-west! Previously Yuroke Boarding Kennels, Dogdayz Greenvale provides high-quality dog day care to folks living in Greenvale, Roxburgh Park, Epping, Craigieburn, Pascoe Vale, Glenroy, and Reservoir. Even pet owners from farther afield will find the Greenvale location easy to get to via the M2 and Mickleham Road.
Like all our other Dogdayz facilities, Dogdayz Greenvale offers wide, open spaces in a semi-rural setting for dogs to roam about in. Your dog will have the opportunity to use up all their energy before they go home with you at the end of the day.
We also give your dog a stimulating day, filled with activities, opportunities to socialise with other dogs, and regular rest times. Health checks are part of the daily schedule, and we will contact our on-call vet if a dog needs urgent care.
Plus, if your dog needs to stay for a night or more, we offer long-term dog boarding! Enquire today.
Why choose Dogdayz when it comes to minding your dog?
Leaving your dog with somebody else is an act of trust. Our commitment is to be in every way worthy of that trust, making your dog’s daycare safe and truly memorable. We pride ourselves on being amongst the very finest dog kennels and dog day care centres Melbourne has to offer.
We invite you to consider The Dogdayz Experience.
Convenient Dog Daycare in Melbourne
Dogdayz currently has four locations offering daycare for dogs in Greater Melbourne: Warrandyte, Digger’s Rest/Toolern Vale, Silvan and Greenvale. Our centres are within a 45 minute to 1 hour drive from Melbourne’s CBD.
Whilst it’s a decent drive for those in the inner city, it’s well worth the journey! Wide open space can be lacking at inner-city dog kennels, whereas at Dogdayz, there’s no shortage of soft pastures for your dog to run around in! You’ll notice how content your pet is when you get them home at the end of the day, with their excess energy spent!
Don’t forget, we offer pet transport services to and from our facilities.

New Dogdayz Location in Greenvale!
Dogdayz has recently opened up new dog boarding kennels in Melbourne’s outer north. Formerly Yuroke Boarding Kennels, Dogdayz Greenvale is situated on 6.5 acres of rural land, allowing plenty of open space for your dog to explore. Its fresh country air and established trees and gardens make for a stimulating-yet -tranquil nature stay for your dog. They will get plenty of exercise in the expansive and well-secured rural grounds, so whether they stay for doggie daycare or overnight, they’re certain to have a great time!
Dogdayz Greenvale is staffed by dog enthusiasts who are well trained in animal care. We also have an overnight supervisor living onsite, so there’s someone there for your dog 24/7.
Dogdayz Greenvale is located near Roxburgh Park, Epping, Craigieburn, Pascoe Vale, Glenroy, Reservoir, and is easily accessible to other suburbs via the Mickleham Road and the M2 (it’s approximately 40 minutes drive from Melbourne CBD).
Heading to the airport? Dogdayz Greenvale is only a 15 minute drive from Melbourne Airport and 18 minutes from Essendon Airport, so if you’re going on a trip, you can drop your dog off on the way to your flight. Just make sure you allow plenty of time for them to get settled before you head to the airport.
Don’t forget, Dogdayz offers a dog transport service, for those times when you can’t get your dog to our kennels yourself.
Longer Term Dog Stays
Dogdayz also offers long term dog boarding services!
Many dog owners in Melbourne trust Dogdayz to take care of their beloved pet while they are away. It might be an interstate work trip, family holiday, or just a significant life event that means you won’t be able to pay enough attention to your dog for a night or more. Whatever the case may be, Dogdayz provides premium dog boarding services.
What does your dog get access to during their long-term stay? Just all the same wonderful things they get when they spend the day with us—outdoor activity, securely-fenced grounds, socialisation, play and rest.
They also get to enjoy our ‘dog hotels’, which offer comfortable overnight accommodation to our guests. Add to that, they receive plenty of attention and affection, balanced meals, a daily health check, and access to an on-call vet should urgent health issues arise.
Planning a wedding or trip away? Consider Dogdayz for your dog’s care while you’re gone. Note, places fill quickly for holiday periods, so be sure to book early.

Our clients say…
“Thank-you so much to Tamika and staff at Silvan, Banjo was so well cared for. He came home soooo happy and totally exhausted after much much exercise and socialisation with his doggy pals.”
Larissa J“I just want to thank, and continue thanking all the wonderful staff at Dogdayz Toolern Vale for their continuing love and care for my furbaby, Frankie. Frankie currently does every second Tuesday with the guys here and comes home happily exhausted. I could not rate the lovely staff and this establishment more highly!”
Shae M“My dog Ollie has stayed at Dogdayz Silvan and Warrandyte and always seems happy and nicely tired after his stays there. I love that they have access to outdoors, and I really can’t imagine how any kennel wouldn’t allow them that (or make you pay extra for 30 minutes!).”
