Meet Our Team
#ThePawPalsGals!
The hearts (and hands) behind Perth’s most trusted Enrichment-based Dog DayCare
At PawPals, we’re more than just a doggy daycare – we’re a close-knit family, and your dog is a truly valued part of it. From the moment they trot through our doors, your pup is greeted by a team that knows them – their quirks, their play style, their confidence level, and when they need a cuddle or a calm moment.
Our team is trained in enrichment-based care, dog body language, and positive behaviour support – meaning your dog is in the hands of professionals who are both passionate and purpose-driven.
Whether it’s leading group play, guiding enrichment games, or creating a structured rest routine, we’re here to help every dog settle, socialise, and shine.
We don’t just supervise.
We lead. We guide. We care – deeply.
With a focus on safety, emotional wellbeing, and tailored enrichment, our mission is to make sure every dog leaves happier, calmer, and more confident than when they arrived.
✨ It’s not just a job for us. It’s our purpose. And your dog will feel that – every single day.
Rescue dogs have a massive place in Laura’s heart and she would rescue all the dogs if she had her way but she can’t (as her partner insists he deserves a space in their bed) so instead, her long term goal is to help fund rescues where ever she can.
Laura has a degree in Advertising and Media, a Certificate in Canine Behavior and a Certificate in Canine First Aid. It is Laura’s aim to ensure your dog has a fantastic day out in a safe and fun environment, playing with their friends and surrounded by people who adore what they do.
After years of working in the corporate world full time, I decided to follow my passion of working with animals full time. I have over 25 years of working with rescue organizations as well as fostering, rehabilitating, and rehoming dogs.

I have been working In the animal industry since I was 16 , my first job being at a pet shop, I then moved to vet nursing for a while, then I decided my heart and passion lay with dog grooming. I have been dog grooming for 8 years now and I will never get tired of the rewarding feeling I get when owners have seen their dogs after a makeover. I also spend some time working in the daycare here at Pawpals and love cuddling and taking care of our client’s beloved dogs.
I started working at PawPals in September 2020 after volunteering for a dog rescue for 18 months.
I also have a cert in Veterinary Assistant and I fell in love with PawPals after being a client for over a year.
I am delighted to have finally got the opportunity to work with dogs full time.
Hi I’m Taliah, a Canine Coach here at Pawpals! I’ve worked in doggy daycares for over 4 years whilst studying for various animal related certifications. I’ve loved dogs since I could remember and take every opportunity to learn about them!
When I’m not at work, I’m cuddling up with my own dogs, studying, doing some painting or playing with my pet rats!
