@ Killara Station there is so much to see and do. It’s is a dog boarding and daycare centre. Sue and her team are happy to help with training issues you may be having. They have Packwalks for the public to bring their families and dog /dogs Wednesday Saturday and Sunday at 2pm.

Loving and knowledgeable people that provide you with the information you need. They are dedicated to providing a comfortable stay for your pup. Definitely worth a stop. Say hi and check it out. Or just go for a walk. Oh ya, their same day eggs are to die for.

This is Faith's first time coming to doggy daycare this past weekend and she is tired right out. She is coming to get socialized and become friendlier with people. Her first day went well although she is still nervous around others and her second day was a vast improvement. The workers go above and beyond to help your four legged child.

Malakai and Nikita have been coming to Paws for years for boarding and are always excited about staying and we've always been extremely happy with the care they get. They have now had their first spa day getting a bath and blow out with Paws' new service. They both have never looked so good and I know bathing and brushing a husky is no easy task. Thanks again!

I would absolutely recommend Paws to anyone. They are one of the resources responsible for my dog making a HUGE improvement socially. If it wasn't for the ongoing encouragement & positive experiences created for Briar I'm not sure I would have the dog I have today. He still has lots of room for improvement and I can guarantee that Killara Station will continue to play a role in getting him to his best self❣🐾

Rachel, Sue, and Louise have been instrumental in helping me create the best life for my Gracie. They're incredibly tuned into her needs and have helped me turn my good girl into a great girl. Highly recommend for day or overnight stays.

I am a bit of a nut about my dogs and I have seen other places over the years and paws at Killara was the best. I checked it out thoroughly beforehand and I was impressed with so many areas. The place is very clean and organized and the secured play areas to ensure the safety of each dog. The staff is with the dogs all the time, playing in the yards, taking them for pack walks etc. Everyone is so welcoming and they have a personal relationship with each and every dog. Would I recommend this place for your dog? Absolutely. My dogs are always well loved and safe and I can leave them worry free every time. Love this place , love the staff. 🐶❤️

My dogs went missing on a pack walk. I looked for them but had to leave without out them. Sue went above and beyond to search for them when she got home. She managed to bring them both back safe. I really appreciate how much they care. I can't thank them enough.

Had Maudie boarding at Paws for 3 days and two nights earlier this week and then for a pack walk today on Maud’s first birthday. Sue and her staff go the extra mile to understand each and every dog and to ensure they are safe and comfortable. Sue shared valuable insight into some of Maud’s quirks which was very much appreciated. Maud had an awesome pack walk today with a bunch of great dogs and people ending off a great day with a swim in the pond. Many thanks to Sue and her amazing staff at Paws!! Highly recommend for boarding, daycare or just a pack walk with friends!!

Loved having a pack walk today with 18 unknown dogs and very nice people (also unknown to me.) It was brilliant test for my blue heeler cattle dog teaching her that she cannot round up everyone and everything. The dogs were joyous and calm and Sue spots problems before they arise keeping the pack safe and happy. Will be back again for sure.

Time and time again I pick my dog (husky) up after work where he can barely keep his eyes open after playing all day. He's a very energetic dog and I even have a hard time exhausting him. My boy is always so excited to go again and almost drags me across the driveway when dropping him off. They have helped me last minute a number of times! Thank you all very much!

Excellent daycare! Our Malamute loves going there to play with his friends. He gets lots of exercise and socialization. Tonight he fell asleep in the car on the way home! He loves all the staff there and is always excited when we tell him he's going to see Sue. He knows he's going to see all his friends.

As an owner of 7 dogs I love Paws. My Tucker (who goes almost every day) loves going to Paws. He gets the exercise he needs, he likes the routine. He is always tired abd happy when he comes home from daycare. Paws took care of Diesel when he had to wear a cone and couldnt be left unsupervised..I was confident that he'd get the care he needed. They helped Oscar build muscle and confidence with daily exercise. Sue is always there to help with patience, advice and training tips. Highly recommend.

Thank you to you all for the exceptional care you took of Rylee while I was away. I had no worries whatsoever knowing she was safe in your excellent facility. Rylee has been snoring, content on her home couch, since coming home. NO QUESTION that I would leave her in your care again WITHOUT HESITATION!!!!

Well, Kudo's to Doggy Day Care at the "Great Sue's Place" as this is the first time ever that the words -- "Good Dog" and "Poochie" were in the same sentence. Well, today was the day. I picked him up from Highland Dog and Clare said that "Poochie was a really good boy". Yippee. Thanks a million for your hard work. We really appreciate it. Lynette

We do not have a cancellation policy. Our clients have always been great at respecting our time and space constraints. We have always been aware that “stuff happens” and from time to time, a booking needs to be cancelled.

We do, however, have to do some capacity planning for staff and space at holiday time. Therefore, we are adding a gentle “holiday only” cancellation policy.

Holiday Cancellation Policy

For overnight bookings that must be cancelled during one of the the listed holidays, we will need to charge a minimum one night, including the $20 holiday fee.

We know our clients will understand our desire to provide excellent and safe care for dogs throughout our high demand times and we thank you for your support.
