Hello from Fern Court.

A neighborhood daycare for dogs and cats in Northbridge, with separate rooms, proper rest and carers who take the time to get to know every pet.

Company, play and a proper nap.

PurfectPaws is a neighborhood daycare on Fern Court in Northbridge, for dogs and for cats. We started with a simple idea: pets left alone all day often do better with company, a change of scene and someone who knows them.

Dogs and cats need very different days, so they get different rooms. The dog room is for small play groups, garden time and a proper nap after lunch. The cat room is calm, away from the dogs, with shelves, hiding spots and sunny windows.

Every pet starts with a hello visit, because the details matter: how they like to be picked up, what they do when they’ve had enough, which friends they enjoy. We write it all down and plan their days around it.

And we try to be honest. If we think daycare isn’t the right fit for your pet, or that a quieter plan would suit them better, we’ll tell you.

What we care about.

Four things that shape every day here.

  • Rest is part of the day

    A good day has as much rest as play. Every pet gets proper quiet time.

  • Dogs and cats apart

    Separate rooms, so every pet gets the kind of day they enjoy.

  • Their pace, not ours

    Pets choose when to join in, and cats are never picked up against their wishes.

  • Notes that get read

    Your daily note is read at drop-off and passed to whoever is with your pet.

What we never do.

  • Mix dogs and cats in the same room
  • Pick up a cat who doesn’t want to be held
  • Skip rest to fit in more play
  • Give medical treatment or diagnose conditions
  • Hand a pet to anyone you haven’t named
  • Promise that daycare suits every pet
