MeetJenny & Andy

Jenny and Andy are the founders of The Doggy Day Care Centre and their shared love of dogs is where this all began.

Previous to opening The Doggy Day Care Centre in 2018, Jenny and Andy both worked full time jobs and often struggled to juggle their very busy lifestyle around their two children, two horses and then four dogs. Doris the French Bulldog, Jazz the Jack Russell and two working spaniels Maggie and Bessie. From those struggles the idea of The Doggy Day Care Centre was born and the pack has grown with the addition of their little pug, Pug!

With Jennys previous experience with animals combined with Andys high customer service skills was together what made this a great idea.

At the start they both worked full time at The Doggy Day Care Centre to get the new venture off to its best start and also worked full time nights elsewhere to support the family while The Doggy Day Care Centre was growing.

"Our Shared passion for dogs makes this our absolute dream job, we have a fantastic team and together it's our mission to make your dogs have the best fun combined with the highest level of care when attending our centres."

Chloe

Chloe joined our team in November 2019 and has since advanced to a Management position. She holds certifications in Dog/Puppy Training and possesses Level 3 Canine Emergency First Aid credentials.

Outside of work, Chloe is devoted to her own canine companion, Cloud, a delightful Springer Spaniel / Border Collie Cross. They share a deep bond and regularly participate in activities like Day Care and attending their local Flyball Club. Their joint ventures not only strengthen their connection but also provide Cloud with essential mental and physical stimulation.

During a recent six-month break from her day care responsibilities, Chloe embarked on a journey to Southeast Asia. While there, she volunteered at a rural dog shelter in Thailand, where her expertise was greatly valued. This experience was particularly enriching as it allowed Chloe to gain insights into how dogs adapt and behave under varied circumstances, fostering a heightened level of patience and understanding, especially towards dogs with challenging backgrounds or disabilities.

Back at our facility, Chloe leverages her training knowledge to enhance the experience for our day care attendees, particularly focusing on young puppies. She incorporates obedience training and engaging impulse games to facilitate their learning and development within the day care setting. Chloe thrives on challenges and finds immense satisfaction in assisting dogs with confidence and behavioral issues.

Chloe's passion extends to working breeds with high energy levels, including spaniels, collies, terriers, labradors, and various others, making her a valuable asset to our team and a trusted advocate for our furry friends.

Lauren

Lauren commenced her journey with us as a volunteer in early February 2023. By June, she transitioned into a permanent role within the doggy daycare family. Lauren has harbored a profound affection for dogs of all sizes throughout her life. While her initial love for dogs stemmed from her upbringing with two staffies, her time at daycare has cultivated a particular fondness for golden retrievers and labradors.
