Stay for the day, and the night!
Comprehensive Boarding Services for Your Beloved Pets
Most traditional boarding kennels keep dogs in small enclosures for most of the day and charge extra for play time, walks, or human attention.
At Paddington Pups in Milton, overnight dog boarding includes a full 12 hours of supervised daycare play, daily outdoor walks, twice-daily meals, raised orthopaedic beds, and a free hydrobath before your dog goes home.
Led by owner Bree and manager Danni, we have cared for Brisbane dogs since 2004 and were named the 2024 and 2026 Queensland State Winner for Animal and Pet Services at the Australian Achiever Awards.
What Every Overnight Boarding Stay Includes
Dog owners should not have to pay extra add-on fees just so their dog gets company, exercise, and air conditioning.
Every night of dog boarding at our facility at 12 Parkview St, Milton QLD 4064 includes:
- 12 Hours of Supervised Daycare Play Every Day: Your dog spends the day playing, resting, and socialising with friendly dogs and staff across our four separate indoor play zones, grouped by size, energy level, and age.
- Small Group Supervision: During daycare hours, we maintain a ratio of one staff member to every 10 to 13 dogs, never more than 13.
- Daily Outdoor Walks: Every boarding dog goes out for a walk each day to stretch their legs and enjoy fresh air.
- Twice-Daily Premium Meals: We feed our boarding guests twice a day using grain-free, gluten-free food from Ivory Coat, Meals for Mutts, or Complete Pet Food Company.
- Your Dog’s Own Food Welcome: If your dog has a sensitive stomach or a strict diet, you are welcome to bring their own food and we will serve it at no extra charge.
- Raised Kuranda Orthopaedic Beds: At night, dogs sleep in large sleeping areas on raised, chew-proof Kuranda beds that support their joints and stay hygienically clean.
- Fully Air-Conditioned Play and Sleeping Areas: Every play zone and sleeping area is climate-controlled in summer and heated in winter at no extra cost.
- Overnight Monitoring and On-Call Vets: Dogs are monitored overnight on security monitors, and we have vets on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in case a dog ever becomes unwell.
- Free Hydrobath Before Pick-Up: We give your dog a complimentary hydrobath before you pick them up (for pick-ups before 1:00pm) so they come home clean and smelling fresh.
- No Senior Dog Surcharge: We never charge extra for older dogs, even if your dog is over 11 years of age.
