Claire and Renee started Drools in 2015 as home-based groomers after completing a Dog Grooming and Handling course at a reputable grooming center that had been operating for over 20 years. In May 2016, we found a store to call home in Kogarah, which allowed us to include daycare as well as grooming services.
Grooming was a wonderful experience over the 8 years. However, in 2024, we decided it was time to hang up the clippers and focus on daycare and training. We are passionate about offering a safe and enriching environment for dogs to socialize with other dogs and work on obedience and confidence-building skills.
In addition to daycare, we also offer training with Drools co-owner Claire. Claire provides in-home consultations as well as walk-and-train sessions with our daycare dogs. For more information on training, click here.
At Drools Doggy Day Care, our mission is to provide a safe, enriching, and supportive environment where dogs can socialise, learn, and thrive. We are passionate about improving the well-being of dogs and fostering a deep bond between pets and their owners.
We believe that dogs need more than just exercise—they need mental stimulation and enrichment to truly flourish. That’s why our day care programs are designed with activities that challenge dogs physically and mentally. From agility courses to structured play and puzzle games, we ensure each dog is engaged and happy throughout the day.
With over 8 years of experience in the dog care industry, our team brings a wealth of knowledge to every aspect of our services. Our staff hold certifications in dog psychology, training, and behaviour, allowing us to offer specialised care tailored to each dog’s unique needs. Our commitment to ongoing education means we’re always up-to-date with the latest techniques and methods in dog care and training.
No two dogs are the same, and at Drools, we embrace that individuality. Whether it’s one-on-one time, tailored activities, or addressing specific behaviour challenges, we personalise our approach to meet the needs of each dog in our care. We take the time to get to know your dog, ensuring they feel comfortable, confident, and ready to learn.
At Drools Doggy Day Care, our passionate and dedicated team is at the heart of everything we do. Each member brings a wealth of experience and love for dogs, ensuring your furry friend receives the best care possible. From training and playtime to one-on-one attention, we’re committed to creating a safe, fun, and enriching environment for every dog in our care.
