Doggy Day Care & Dog Boarding With A Difference!

GREEN POINT, NSW CENTRAL COAST

 
 

Welcome

Come On In!

Our furry friends would love to show you around, so let’s start with this video!

This is some of our regular guests arriving to stay - their enthusiasm to get inside says it all! Little Cavoodle Raf always flies in so fast he often gets foot spin, and Herbie can't wait to get hold of his favourite things, multiple soft toys:-) Starring Charlie, Herbie, Raf, Herman, Coco. Pepper & Toby

 
 

The Best Care For Your Best Friend!

  • In our small pack your dog is a VIP or ‘Very Important Pooch’ with personalised attention for their specific needs

  • We take a holistic approach to canine wellbeing including nourishing food, filtered water, air-con, clean floors, and comfy beds

  • Dogs are closely supervised to create a happy, well-balanced and cooperative pack

  • Days are structured so that dogs learn the routine, which increases their sense of security and allows them to relax more deeply

 
 

Between the enrichment, friendly pack, and healthy environment, your dog’s mental, emotional and physical needs are all taken care of!

 
I send Billie to Hound Dog Hotel because it provides her with the structure and mental stimulation she needs to thrive!! I would recommend Hound Dog Hotel… It’s a similar cost to other daycares that don’t provide nearly as much support, supervision, and care.

Take the 2 Minute Tour…

When Bikkie first came to the HDH he was very anxious as he had been bitten and was fearful of dogs. Since going, his confidence has risen and his fears lowered. He has learnt how to socialise, rest and eat with other dogs. Which was something he struggled with before.

We are so grateful that we found HDH as it has changed Bikkie and our lives for the better. He even runs in now and doesn’t look back.

I can’t recommend this doggie day care enough. Maralyn and Gail are so caring and passionate about dogs, their health and well-being. This is shown through the healthy food they feed them, the training they give them and the unconditional love they show them.
— Tara owner of Bikkie
 
I feel like I couldn’t have found a better care service… Laila loves the company of her doggy friends and activities that you provide to her... and I love the clean and calm environment that you provide. Thank you for all the work and commitment that you put into the day with Laila and all the other dogs.
— Julie about Laila the Cavoodle
 

About Maralyn

The Hound Dog Hotel is a family business, founded by Maralyn…

Maralyn’s relationship with dogs began 30 years ago with 2 rescue German Shorthaired Pointers, the athletes of the dog world! Since then Maralyn has cared for dogs of all shapes and sizes, from the tiny teacups to oodles of “Oodles” and everything in between!

Maralyn founded the Hound Dog Hotel in 2015, having previously run a dog care service providing specialist live-in care in clients’ homes.

Before setting up Hound Dog Hotel Maralyn published over 60 dog blogs—viewed thousands of times—on subjects including training, diet, behaviour, and crafting toys. She continues to share her expertise posting the occasional blog to the Hound Dog Hotel blog page, too!

 

… and co-run by Gail

Gail has worked with dogs of all shapes, sizes and personalities for over a decade as a Dog Walker, Trainer, Pet Sitter, and of course carer at the Hound Dog Hotel.

She studied with the ‘Canine Human Relationship Institute’ in the USA learning to decode what dogs are really communicating, complemented by hundreds of hours of self-study and direct observation of dog behaviour.

In days gone by Gail worked the 9-5 office lifestyle, but hasn’t looked back since leaving to work with our four legged friends, which she finds far more fun and fulfilling!

Dog Boarding

 

Your dog is a ‘Super VIP' when they holiday with us in our small and friendly pack.

Mon to Fri $88 per day
Sat and Sun $98 per day

Im-pawtent! As dog boarding guests live in our home we, like you, need to know that this is the right environment for them. So before holidaying with us they need to pass a thorough assessment which involves attending Doggy Day Care for 3 days. Please see above for Day Care fees, and feel free to contact us for details.

 

And just for fun…

Here’s a golden moment from an adventure walk when feisty Coco the Cavoodle led her friends on a merry dance, to the ‘Benny Hill’ theme tune!
