A dog’s body and mind are equally precious, and we aim to nurture both
To be the leading doggie day care centre in WA, and to be the first choice for pet pawrents in our area. To continue to provide the upmost care and socialisation for your dogs.
To provide quality care to each dog under our supervision. Ensuring every customer is provided with a stress free pet care experience whilst their doggie enjoys time at Little Paws Play School.
Quality, Service, Safety, Reliability, Love, Dedication, Honesty & Integregty
Co Founders of Little Paws Play School
A shared passion for dogs began as small children, owning and caring for dogs our entire life.
Independently, Cuddles Inc (Est 2021) and Cuddles and More Pet Minding (Est 2009) were born, offering Dog Walking, Doggie Playgroups and Pet Minding – each small business going from strength to strength. Together, we realised a need for alternate top tier care options amongst our community understanding that our fur babies are precious and thrive surrounded by positivity and kindness.
We promote responsible pet ownership and believe that the same care, commitment, and loyalty we show to our dogs can inspire stronger relationships.
Supporting local, we regularly walk for POOPSWA (Pets of Older Persons WA) to help support the elderly and disabled with the care of their dearly loved pets.
At Little Paws Play School we love working with all people who love and adore animals just as much as we do! Our clients include:
Knowing your dog is going to be well looked after while in the care of the Little Paws Team is a huge factor when choosing a doggie daycare service. We are proud to use the reporting app Time To Pet which keeps you up to date on how your fur baby is doing throughout the day and takes a massive weight off your shoulders.
This is why we use the ‘Time To Pet’ pet tracking and reporting app. It allows you to set up an account for yourself and your fur kid, so whilst we are minding your beloved friend you can stay in the loop with live updates on our walkies, playtime, and more.

Mel was wonderful with my fur babies. They were so looked after and I was able to have a relaxing holiday knowing that they were taken care of.
Thank you so much Mel!
Gemma is amazing with our little dog Rosie, she goes above and beyond and treats her like her own, Rosie loves going on doggy play dates which has really helped with socialisation, she knows when Gemma is coming to collect her and waits by the door, then her tail wags like crazy as soon as she sees Gemma, we would highly recommend Gemma, she is such a genuine lovely person who really cares for your pets.
We have been so very fortunate to have Gemma in our lives. Hershey our now 9 month old pup has been out on doggy play dates several times now and absolutely loves it. These trips have helped with socialisation and training as well as giving our senior dog time out. Gemma is wonderful. she comes to the house collects Hershey takes him out with the other dogs to the dog park and returns him happily exhausted. He is always happy to see her. I also like the feedback from each outing which have included videos and photos. I would happily recommend Gemma to anyone needing a dog walker / exerciser doggy cuddler
I honestly cannot say how amazing Gemma is
Gemma’s love, care and attention she gives to my furbaby, Kobe is unbelievable. Thank you for a fantastic service you offer!!
I couldn’t recommend Mel enough. Highly professional and friendly service. Excellent communication with photos. Thank you for looking after my kitty cats, they were in very caring hands . Thank you Mel
I've never felt that my pets were in better hands. Melanie really goes above and beyond what I expected. Lots of pictures and an update with every visit made it feel like I wasn't away from them at all. If I could give 6 stars I would.
