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

"Samantha & the team at Pet Resorts Australia Gumdale are absolutely amazing! They take such incredible care of my little Theo, and I honestly couldn’t be happier knowing he’s in such loving and capable hands. You can truly see how much care and attention goes into everything they do, from his daycare days to his stays at the pet resort. I really appreciate the love, patience and effort the whole team puts into making sure Theo is happy, safe and well cared for. It gives me such peace of mind knowing he’s being looked after by people who genuinely care about the animals. Thank you so much, Samantha & team, for always taking such wonderful care of my boy! We appreciate you more than you know!"

"Leaving your pet behind is always tough, but Gumdale Pet Resort made it so much easier. The staff are incredibly caring and attentive. I love the report card they provided, detailing Hunter's meals, potty routine, and social behavior. Seeing "beautiful boy" and knowing he had the best time doing zoomies in the yard gives me complete peace of mind. Five stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ （I put this lovely report card together with a picture of Hunter playing with his toy at home. Seeing that he is just as happy, active, and full of energy at the resort as he is at home makes me so incredibly happy!）"

"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!"
