Doggy Day Care in Sydney’s Inner West
Your dog will enjoy two exciting group walks during the day, exploring local Inner West parks with a small, friendly pack of up to four dogs. Each adventure is tailored to your dog’s needs, with plenty of time for play, companionship, and rest in between.
Our fully air-conditioned, safety-checked vehicles ensure comfortable pick-up and drop-off, while our walkers, all trained and Pet First Aid certified, keep every outing safe, structured, and full of joy.
After each outing, you’ll receive a personalised photo and video update via WhatsApp, so you can see just how much fun your pup is having while you’re away.

Poppy
Our Poppy absolutely loves Lisa & her amazing team at Sheriff About Town.She’s been heading out for regular walks for many years now and loves catching up with her doggy mates. Lisa & her team are so professional and so caring. We’ve never had any issues, and we love getting photos of the gang out & about

Leo
Our dog Leo’s walks with the Sheriff team are the highlight of his week. He gets so excited when the van comes and we love seeing the (professional level!) photos of him having a great romp with his friends.
It’s a big relief for us having walkers we know we can trust with our fur-baby when life gets hectic and to see him tuckered out at the end of the day. Would highly recommend Lisa and the rest of her team.

Billy
Billy absolutely loves his daily walk with the Sheriff About Town. He waits excitedly by the door each day, anticipating their arrival, and greets his walkers with extreme enthusiasm. We receive a service report every day after his walk, complete with great photos, videos, and comments. The walkers are caring and patient with our lovable golden retriever. These walks have calmed Billy at home, and his behaviour has improved. The online booking service is easy and flexible, and the variety of services is helpful for different situations. We have been delighted with the service provided, and I know Billy would rate them 10 out of 10

Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in the Doggy Day Care service?
Our Doggy Day Care is a half-day care option made up of two consecutive group walks. It’s the perfect mix of exercise, socialisation, and rest — giving your dog a full, fun-filled morning or afternoon of adventure.
How long will my dog be out for?
Your pup will be out for around 4 to 4.5 hours, including two full hours at the park. The rest of the time includes pick-up, drop-off, travel, and breaks between walks.

This service is ideal for energetic dogs or pet parents who work long hours. We’ve found that two walks in one day is plenty — enough to keep your dog happy, healthy, and well-exercised without overdoing it.
How many dogs are in each group?
Each group walk includes up to four dogs. Keeping our packs small means every pup gets plenty of attention and playtime while staying safe and comfortable.

We always group dogs with similar temperaments, sizes, and energy levels to create the best experience for everyone. It ensures balanced play and positive socialisation.
