Caity Cares & Be the Dog

Doggy Day Care

A brief introduction to who we are

Samantha (Owner): Sam has always had a deep passion for animals. She has always been passionate about understanding the way our animals communicate with us. She initially studied and worked in the equine industry in the UK. When she returned to SA she was not comfortable with some of the harsh methods used for dog behaviour. This sparked her passion for wanting to make a difference in this industry, so she went on to study and qualify in Ethology- focusing on canines. Her dog behaviour business (Be the Dog) has been around since 2012. Sam is brilliant at looking at things from your pup’s point of view. Sam will be the one out there with your pups every day, making sure their time spent at the daycare is quality and that all of their needs are met.

Caity & Lindy (Owners): We are a mother and daughter who have been surrounded by rescue animals our entire lives. This passion sparked the beginning of Caity Cares “at your home” dog grooming (specialising in rescue and nervous dogs), and Caity Cares premium pet sitting, which has been going since 2009 & 2015. We will be the ones keeping things organised behind the scenes while Sam is focusing her full attention on your pups.

What our daycare is all about

Caity Cares & Be the Dog are passionate about providing dogs with the care & quality stimulation that they need. We aim to help your pups use up their excess energy, in a healthy & natural way. We have the space to allow your dogs to explore, play and have fun; as well as the space to allow them to rest and recoup when needed. Our playgrounds are designed specifically to nourish all of your hounds’ senses and have more of a nature feel than a manicured lawn- as “the wild'' is where our canine companions originally come from! Our rest areas are designed to keep the dogs cool and happy- with an option of them resting in an outdoor run or in the comfort of Sam’s home with her.

While a lot of daycares work on a set schedule for play and rest, we believe it is better to follow your dog's needs for that day. Sam is dynamic and very on the ball when it comes to noticing attentively what your dog might need at any given time in the day (including rest, play & the perfect friend matches for your dogs based on energy levels).

We are situated in FARMALL (near deco park).
