Our Story
Welcome to Love Dogz a boutique, personalised home away from home where dogs quickly become part of the family.
Love Dogz was created over 11 years ago by Rachael Love after the loss of her beautiful 16-year-old Border Collie, Zack. For the first time in her life, there wasn’t a dog by her side, so she began caring for friends’ and family’s dogs while on maternity leave with her eldest daughter, Billie. What started as a small idea, built from love and healing, soon grew into the beautiful Love Dogz community we have today.
At Love Dogz, dogs are welcomed into our family home alongside Rachael, Luke, Miss Billie, Miss Cora, Mya our sweet 10-year-old Cavoodle and Dusty, our big soft rescue boy. (Dusty doesn’t join our oodle daycare days as he doesn’t have curls) but he loves heading out on adventures with our adventure crew.
We are passionate about creating memorable, fun-filled days where every dog feels safe, loved and truly at home. From sunshine-filled playtime and enrichment activities to rest, cuddles and social connection, each day is thoughtfully balanced to help dogs feel calm, happy and content.
Love Dogz is more than just daycare it’s a place where dogs holiday too. A place filled with fun, friendship, adventure and love, where every dog is treated like one of our own.
Over the years, we’ve been lucky enough to watch so many dogs grow alongside our family, with many becoming lifelong members of the Love Dogz pack. We feel incredibly grateful for the trust our community places in us every single day
Limited spaces for the comfort of each fur guest
Rachael Love - The pack leader
Rachael Love owns and runs, Love Dogz. Rachael is a long-time dog owner and lover since 1983. She grew up on a farm in Northern NSW. The Love family had dogs as pets, for working and dogs for exhibiting in show. One would say that the love of dogs is in her blood due to her upbringing. Her whole childhood she was surrounded by all the sorts of animals a typical farm would have, like horses, cattle, chooks, ducks, pigs, cats and list goes on.. But, dogs were always her favourite.
Love Dogz came to because of Rachael’s love of dogs and from owning her very own Border Collie, Zack. He was her biggest inspiration behind Love Dogz. Rachael’s owned Zack from the age of 14 to 30. He was her number one, so she understands how much your dog means to you and she will treat your dog like her own.
Over the the years Rachael found it difficult relying on the dog day care and walking options that were available to her. Nothing was personalised enough. Speaking to more and more dog owners Rachael realised she was not alone - so she decided to take matters into her own hands, and Love Dogz was born. A luxury personalised home day-care.
Love Dogz is more than a business to Rachael as she strives for all dogs to be happy and healthy. She has such a genuine passion and love of dogs, that it could never just be a job. Rachael has been working in the Natural Health Industry for over 15 years, giving her knowledge and tips to help keep your pooch happy and cared for naturally.
