The Making of Our Daycare
Welcome to Mindfulpaws Doggy Daycare! Our journey from construction to completion is finally here, and we’re thrilled to open our doors to dogs of all sizes. Every space has been purposefully designed with your dog’s safety, joy, and enrichment in mind. We invite you to explore our facility and see how we’ve created the perfect environment for your pup to thrive.
Living with 10 dogs of our own it feels like a doggy daycare every day. So we thought we would combine the two!
Nestled on 2.5 hectares our location is the perfect rural retreat for your dog.
Getting a solid foundation for any business is the most important thing at this stage.
With the foundation in place its time to start building the kit set from ITM Stratford.
It’s always a relief when the roof goes up. Skylight will ensure plenty of light for the dogs.
I’m amazed how quickly these guys worked, they pretty much finished the jigsaw in 4 days.
What would we do with out Steve and Kane. Laying the daycare floor was a breeze.
Its all about limiting the mess, we don’t want our dogs going home dirty do we.
It’s easy with a the right tools. Thanks to Kane from On Point Contracting we had it covered.
A few last minute changes to the design courtesy of Russell O’Keefe Builders.
We lost count of the number of plyboards we used to line the daycare, but it looks great.
Cleaning is important when running a daycare so painting the floor makes total sense.
Dogs drink a lot of water, so big thanks to John and his team at On the Spot Plumbing.
What an amazing machine for spreading aggregate. Good old Kane.
Our Digger guy, Kane, created our very on special mini mountain range for our dogs.
Using native plants to form boundaries fits in with our mindful approach to life.
Dogs Jump, so Jeff from Agri Fencing helped dog proof all our daycare fences.
I love plants so having an excuse to build another plant bed is brillant.
We spent a long time getting the dog runs correct with air-locks for health and safety.
Being able to gain access to all the dog paddocks for maintenance was needed.
Creating pathways allows dogs to move safely around the doggy daycare.
We’ve had some awesome people help myself and Papia with this journey. Thanks everyone.
It’s great to see the external dog run structures coming together.
Our small paddock will be filled with natural enrichment for all the dogs
Setting up the internal space for our dogs to run around in.
Maggie loved testing out the dog platforms, with there multiple levels.
Our own dogs love the infused smells of the furniture in the daycare.
