Who We Are
At my small in-home dog daycare and boarding facility, your dog is welcomed into a calm, nurturing environment designed for their emotional and physical wellbeing. With a certified dog psychologist and professional trainer on site, every dog receives individualized care tailored to their unique personality, needs, and learning styles.
I specialize in creating balanced, harmonious days filled with structured play, rest, enrichment, and gentle guidance. Because I keep my pack intentionally small, each dog enjoys unwavering attention, a peaceful setting, and a safe home-like atmosphere — allowing them to relax, learn, and truly thrive.
What We Offer
Here at Surefire Farm, we provide calm care, clear structure, and a home away from home.
Our daycare is a supervised daytime service where your dog can socialise, play, and be cared for in a safe and nurturing environment while you go about your day.
Daycare Add-ons
Boarding is an overnight care service where your dog stays in a safe and loving environment for as little as one night or as long as you need, ensuring they're well looked after while you're away.
Boarding Add-ons
Private training is a one-on-one professional service with a balanced approach that blends clear guidance, fair expectations, and thoughtful understanding — creating calm, confident dogs and a deeply connected partnership.
