Why Zoomies Daycare Is Different

We built Zoomies specifically around small dogs. Carefully managed playgroups, structured play, enrichment and proper rest help dogs socialise without becoming overwhelmed.

Many daycare centres

Most daycares work like this.

  • Mix all sizes together
  • Overcrowd playgroups
  • Focus on volume
  • Let dogs “just run”

What Our Clients Say

Kelly Marquiss
★★★★★
We’ve been using Zoomies for both grooming and daycare for the last few months, and I can’t say enough good things! Our pup Korra gets so excited to go to daycare and they always send photo updates, so we know she’s having a great time. We’ve also been very happy with the grooms. Both times the groomer has explained any areas of concern pre-groom and we have loved both the communication and the results!

As someone who’s new to the area, I was really nervous about where to bring my baby for grooming. Finding someone you trust with your dog is so important, but I honestly couldn’t have been happier with Zoomies Dog Grooming. When picking her up she looked amazing and so happy. It was obvious she’d been well looked after and was happy throughout her visit. The team genuinely care about the dogs and treat them so well. I can confidently say I’ve found our new groomer, and we’ll definitely be regulars from now on. Highly recommend!
