Your Dog's Day at Doggy Daycare Gumdale
Pet Resorts Australia Gumdale Doggy Daycare delivers a thoughtfully structured day that balances play, rest, and personalised care in a calm Brisbane Southside setting. Featuring Brisbane’s Southside-only doggy splashpark and carefully supervised group play, each daycare day supports healthy socialisation, enrichment, and wellbeing. Guided by our experienced Pet Nannies, dogs enjoy a safe, engaging, and well-paced routine in a quiet environment designed to help them feel settled and confident.
Morning Fun
Morning play begins in our supervised outdoor play areas, where dogs enjoy space to run, socialise, and play under the care of our experienced team. We also offer private doggy daycare for dogs who prefer one-on-one time with a pet nanny, balanced with individual enrichment and rest. On warmer mornings, playtime may include a splash or two in our doggy Splash Park.
Individual Attention
Throughout the day, each dog receives individual care from our attentive Pet Nannies. From gentle check-ins and reassurance to cuddles and encouragement, our team takes the time to understand each dog’s temperament, social comfort, and energy levels, ensuring they feel safe, supported, and well cared for.
Rest & Recharge
After a busy morning, dogs enjoy a calm rest period to relax and recharge. These quiet breaks are a key part of our Gumdale doggy daycare routine, helping dogs regulate their energy, remain comfortable, and enjoy a balanced day.
Afternoon Play
Refreshed and ready for more fun, dogs return to the play areas for an afternoon session focused on relaxed socialisation and exploration. This slower-paced play allows dogs to move at their own comfort level, reconnect with friends, and enjoy their surroundings. When the weather allows, this session may include some splashy fun in our doggy Splash Park, the perfect way to cool down and round out the day.
Wind-Down
As the day draws to a close, dogs transition into a slower pace with calm interaction and downtime. After a full day of activity and enrichment, most pups are relaxed, content, and happily tired.
Home Time
When it’s time to head home, you’ll be greeted by a calm, settled, and happily tired pup after a rewarding day at Gumdale Doggy Daycare. After a full day of play, enrichment, and gentle care, dogs leave relaxed, content, and ready to enjoy a quiet evening with their family.
What Our Customers Say
"Our loved Bonnie and Teddy stayed at Fido and Felix while we were overseas. From our first phone call to dropping them off to having them home everything was a wonderful experience. Upon our return getting home from overseas, my husband and I became very unwell but the wonderful Sammy saved the day and went above and beyond for us, to which we are truely thankful. We will never forget this kindness. Our dogs came home clean, healthy and happy. I have never felt so confident with the decision of picking Fido and Felix for our dog boarding. I highly recommend this fabulous place if you need to board your pets. Thank you to all the team and especially Sammy- you guys are the greatest!"

"Our Cavoodle had a lovely 5 days. He’d been before and was wagging his tail as we returned for his next visit. All the staff are so lovely and you feel they really care and definitely give your doggie cuddles and love. Extra shout out to Ebony who had written a cute Holiday Report Card given to us when we picked him up. Highly recommend and definitely using regularly. Thanks great team!"

"While I was travelling overseas I left my cat, Mr Bean, in the care of Pet Resorts Gumdale. It was so easy to book him in, pay for it in advance, and drop him off. Talking to the staff at reception, you can tell they care and know each animal very well. I'll definitely be booking Mr Bean in again the next time I'm travelling."
