We cannot recommend High Paw Doggy Daycare highly enough. Our Border Terrier, Mabel, absolutely adores her time there and it gives us complete peace of mind knowing she is in such safe, caring and loving hands.
Rebecca is everything you could hope for in someone looking after your dog — professional, punctual, reliable and genuinely passionate about every dog she cares for. It’s obvious from the moment you meet her that this is far more than just a business; she truly loves the dogs and treats them as if they were her own.

We couldn’t be happier with the care Sherlock receives at High Paw Daycare. Abi is incredibly knowledgeable and experienced, and it’s clear from the moment you meet her that the dogs’ wellbeing always comes first. Sherlock is always so well looked after, happy, and excited to go.
What really stands out is Abi’s dedication and willingness to help work through any issues or concerns with patience and understanding. Her expertise and genuine care give us complete confidence that Sherlock is in the best hands. We highly recommend High Paw Daycare to anyone looking for a safe, caring, and professional environment for their dog.

What makes High Paw so special is the level of canine knowledge that the team has. They are not just another dog walker, with their background in canine hydrotherapy they are hugely tuned in to canine body language, so they have the insight to keep your dog happy and in a good emotional space. Their indoor space with it's enrichment wall is really well set up and I love the washing area and walk way in the field to make sure your dog comes home nice & clean!

FAQ's
Is Daycare Right For My Dog? Dog daycare is a great option for many dogs, giving them the opportunity to play, socialise, build confidence and learn new skills. They can enjoy a day filled with enrichment, activities and companionship and many owners love seeing their dog excited to arrive and content when they return home. That said, daycare isn't the right fit for every dog. Just like people, dogs have different personalities, preferences and social needs. Some thrive in a group environment, while others are happier snoozing at home, having a dog walker etc. Our priority is always your dog's wellbeing and enjoyment. We take the time to get to know each dog as an individual and, if we feel daycare isn't the right environment for them, we will always be honest and support you in finding a more suitable option. This is why we offer a free meet and greet, followed by trial day(s) so that you have peace of mind that your dog is having the most fabulous time!
What Does A Typical Day Look Like? You can expect to see lots of fun, zoomies and smiling faces! Each day is structured and tailored to our group. This includes social walks around the field, playtime, enrichment activities, breed specific games, one-to-one time, scent work, swimming and rest periods. Activities vary with seasonal themes and our bespoke scent walls, sniffari areas and games are constantly updated to keep your dog engaged and happy!
Do You Accept All Breeds And Ages? We welcome a variety of breeds and ages. Each dog is assessed individually to ensure suitability for group daycare.
Why Do You Have Rest Time? Daycare is an exciting environment where dogs play, socialise and make friends, and rest is just as important as activity. Breaks, rest and relaxation time help dogs recharge so they can enjoy the full day without becoming tired, over stimulated or mentally worn out. Did you know dogs need up to 12–14 hours of sleep a day (and even more for puppies)?
What Is Enrichment And Why Do We Care About It? Enrichment gives dogs opportunities to use their minds, bodies and natural instincts in positive ways. It includes activities such as scent work, breed-specific games, problem-solving challenges and interactive play. Activities are regularly changed to keep them new and engaging, helping dogs stay interested, build confidence and enjoy a more fulfilling day. Enrichment also provides an alternative to physical play, allowing dogs to enjoy calmer, rewarding activities throughout the day. This is particularly beneficial during warmer weather, helping dogs stay comfortable while still having fun and staying engaged.
