Hello! My name is Anastasia and together with my mother Marina, I run the poochiest outdoor doggy playgroup every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday in Tingalpa!

We've been obsessed animal lovers from way back, having been lucky enough to grow up around horses, chickens and ducks, cats, dogs and a mini pig called Boo! Both Marina and I have many years experience welcoming and looking after dogs of all shapes and sizes, both as volunteers for animal rescue organisations and as pet sitters.

We live on a leafy acerage block with a large and secure purpose built doggy park fitted out with various obstacles to climb and jump off, an undercover sand pit for pooches that love to dig or lay in the sand and a large splash pool that converts to a fun ball pit in the cooler months! We also have plenty of toys, ropes, climbing tyers and even a slippery slide for energetic dogs who love adventure.  

Our resident pooch, Pasha the Chinese Crested Hairless sadly went over the rainbow bridge in October 2023 at the super ripe old age of 15. He was a big part of our Doggy Playgroup family and is sadly missed by us and all his poochy playgroup friends.

Running since March 2023, our Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday Doggy Playgroup is open to small to medium sized gentle breeds and is fully supervised, making it the perfect social opportunity for those fur-babies who may be a little shy or suffer from separation anxiety... or for those who just want to have a healthy dose of outdoor play and socialisation in a fun and welcoming group setting.

Most of our playgroup pooches are weekly or fortnightly guests, making it the perfect opportunity for them to get all the mental and physical stimulation a dog needs while learning good social skills. 

That said, it is important that your dog enjoys coming to playgroup and that their behaviour does not interfere with the group dynamics or the individual enjoyment of other poochy guests. In order to assess if a dog is suitable for our playgroup, a free Meet & Greet session is mandatory, during which time we will assess if your pooch is suitable to join. 

Our Doggy Playgroup runs every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday in Tingalpa. Drop-off starts any time from 7am and pick ups are strictly before 6pm. We also offer both photo and video updates via our private Facebook Group, 'Doggy Playgroup - Tingalpa'

If you have any specific questions, please don't hesitate to send a message! I know you're going to love us and we can't wait for your visit!
