The Woof of Walk Street
Boarding Essentials: What to Pack
- Food (labelled by meal) — bring your regular diet to avoid tummy upsets. If you prefer, we can provide high-quality kibble or cooked chicken. Note quantities and feeding times.
- Medications & supplements — in original packaging with dosages and timing. Include vet details and an emergency contact.
- Fitted harness, lead & ID tag — we do a safety check at every outing.
- Comfort items — a familiar blanket or worn t-shirt helps many dogs relax faster.
- Chews or slow feeders — low-arousal enrichment for quiet time.
- House rules & cues — words you use for toileting, settling, recall, etc.
- Allergies & quirks — door dashing? fearful of storms? tell us so we can tailor care.
- Paperwork — vaccination status, council rego if applicable.
Calm Drop-Off Routine (15 Minutes)
- Pre-walk: a short sniff-walk and toilet break at home keeps arousal low.
- Arrive on time: we schedule staggered hand-overs to keep things quiet.
- Neutral hello: we greet, check harness fit and show your dog their settling spot.
- Quick goodbye: keep it upbeat and brief — lingering can make separation harder.
- First update: we send a photo and a short note shortly after drop-off.
How We Keep Boarding Calm (No Kennels, One Guest Only)
Weekend Woof Club is boutique, home-style boarding — one guest at a time. That means predictable routines, quiet spaces for naps and a daily solo walk tailored to your dog’s pace. We avoid over-exciting play and manage arousal through decompression, sniffing and structured outings. You’ll receive daily photo updates and a quick report, so you never wonder how things are going.

Feeding, Medication & Health Notes
To keep tummies happy, we stick closely to your at-home feeding routine. Pack meals in labelled bags or containers, note any allergies and whether you prefer raw, kibble or home-cooked. For medication, include the name, dose, timing and any side-effects we should watch for. If your dog is on GI support, bring the supplements you trust. We keep fresh water down at all times, monitor intake and toileting, and message you if anything looks off.
What a Typical Day Looks Like
- 7:00–8:00am: wake, toilet and breakfast with a calm settle.
- Late morning: solo walk tailored to energy level (think Albert Park Lake loop or quiet streets).
- Afternoon: nap time with low-arousal enrichment — lick mats, snuffle toys, gentle chews.
- Evening: dinner, another toilet break, cuddles and wind-down lights-low routine.
Before You Book — Quick Eligibility
