Our Story & Philosophy

At Pawsome Play, we don't just board dogs—we welcome them into our family. Nestled right next to the beautiful Sherwood Forest, our home becomes their home while you're away.

We're a family of absolute dog lovers, and we know how hard it can be to leave your best friend. That's why we focus on giving them a holiday of their own, packed with woodland walks, garden playtime, and endless affection. Think of us as your dog's second family!

SLEEPOVERS AT PAWSOME PLAY

Say goodbye to stressful kennel stays! Our sleepovers are all about making your dog feel safe, loved, and entirely at home.

Evenings are for relaxing—think movie nights, sofa snuggles, and plenty of belly rubs. We know routine is everything for a happy pup. If your dog sleeps on the bed at home, they can sleep on the bed here. If they love their crate and are crate-trained, we'll happily set it up so they have their safe, familiar space to settle down in.

  • 24/7 care in my home, including a doggy playroom, soft play area, toy library, and comfy sofas
  • Access to a large secure garden, wooded area, and exercise paddocks
  • Toys, comfy beds, and enrichment activities
  • Daily walks, photo and video updates
  • Your dog’s exact routines and feeding schedules followed perfectly
Fun Focused

The Ultimate Playdate

Nobody likes leaving their dog home alone all day! Our day care is basically one big playdate with their best mates.

We spend our days exploring our secure woodland garden, playing games, and making sure everyone gets exactly the right mix of zoomies and nap times. You'll pick up a very happy, sleepy dog at the end of the day.

  • Secure woodland garden
  • Socialization with balanced packs
  • Enrichment games & toys

Nancy

"Our Nancy has been going to Lisa for over a year now and we won't send her anywhere else when we go away. She has the time of her life and is safe. Its a home away from home environment with 10x the space!"

- Nancy's Mum
Elsa

"Lisa is so very kind and thoughtful, having never left any of our dogs with sitters before she has gone above and beyond to put our minds at ease. Elsa has thrived with Lisa's knowledge and really gained confidence"

- Elsa's Mum
Reggie

"This was our first time using doggy boarding and Lisa treated him just like one of her own. We feel very lucky to have found such a lovely home and person to look after Reggie and it was great to get updates and pictures throughout his stay."

- Reggie's Mum
Frank

"We have used Lisa since Frank was a baby. Cannot recommend her enough! Such a lovely lady and loves what she does. So reliable and flexible. Frank goes running into her house as if it was his own."

- Frank's Mum
Meila

"We would highly recommend Pawsome Play. Do not look anywhere else - she's the best! Not only is she really reliable and friendly but she really loves the dogs as if they were her own (even buying them pressies at Christmas and Easter)."

- Meila's Mum
Daisy

"Our dog Daisy stayed for 2 nights and she had the best time. It was reassuring that Daisy was home from home and got all the care and attention she would at home. Daisy is looking forward to her next visit"

Play, Pounce, & Paw-sitivity

Every dog is different, so we make sure to pair up playmates who match each other's vibe perfectly. Whether your dog loves to wrestle, chase balls, or just have a good sniff around the bushes, they'll find their crowd here.

Chill Time & Cuddles

It can't be go-go-go all the time! We make sure everyone gets a proper rest during the day. Our home has plenty of comfy spots for an afternoon snooze, and there's never a shortage of laps to curl up on.

Safe, Secure, Supervised

You can relax knowing your dog is in the safest hands. Our large woodland play area is completely secure, and I'm fully trained and experienced in canine first aid and behaviour. We treat every single dog with the same love and care we give our own.
