Why The Woofy Inn

A home, not a holding pen

Most boarding means concrete runs and a room full of strangers. Here, your dog joins our home, with sofas, backyard, routine and all. They're never just a booking; they're part of the pack for the day or the week.

Small numbers mean every dog gets real attention, real play and real rest. You get photos, updates and the peace of mind that your best friend is genuinely happy.

  • Home-based care, with free run of a real house and yard
  • Small groups, so no dog gets lost in the crowd
  • Certified Dog First Aider on site

“Desi is the best puppy sitter by far that I've ever met. She looked after Nacho like her own pup and updated me at every point. Nacho was super happy and loved. From now on she'll be the only carer for Nacho.”

Frequently asked questions

How many dogs do you take, and what sizes? +

Up to 12 at a time, depending on their size and temperament. We welcome small to medium dogs, plus some bigger breeds like Groodles and Greyhounds. Just check with us if you're unsure.

Where do the dogs sleep? +

Indoors, in their own cosy and secure room. Bring your dog's own bed or blanket, or they can use ours. Air conditioning goes on whenever it's needed.

My dog has never boarded before. Can we visit first? +

Absolutely. Book a free 15-minute Meet & Greet so your dog can settle in and we can make sure everyone's a good fit before any booking.

Is dog washing included? +

Washing is an add-on for small to medium dogs, alongside day care or boarding. Just ask and we'll sort it.

Can you give medication if needed? +

Yes. Desi has plenty of experience with daily medication (our own Nike needs his) and will follow your instructions carefully.

How do I book, and what area do you cover? +

Book any service online in a couple of minutes. We're based in Brighton-Le-Sands and care for dogs across the St George area of Sydney.
