Small pack. Big love.

We keep our guest list intentionally small, giving every VIP plenty of attention, playtime and personalised care. Because nobody gets lost in the crowd at Pawloma.

Their routine, kept

Dinner times, bedtime quirks, the weird sock thing — tell us and we'll stick to it.

Updates you'll actually get

Photos and a proper note on how they're going, not a vague 'all good!'.

Pawloma sleepovers are based in Maitland, a short drive from Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Cessnock, Port Stephens and the Hunter Valley wine country. Locals from Lorn, Bolwarra, Rutherford, Thornton, East Maitland, Merewether and The Junction use us when they want home boarding instead of kennels.

The questions everyone asks

Do I need to be a Pawloma Family member?

Yes. Every sleepover pup meets us first, so apply for care and we'll set up a meet-and-greet.

How does peak pricing work?

Peak nights are $99 and follow official NSW school holidays, public holidays and long weekends. You'll see each night's rate before you pay.

Can you collect and drop off?

Yes, across Maitland, Newcastle and the Hunter. The fee is worked out from real driving distance and shown before checkout.

What if my dog is anxious or reactive?

Tell us. Those bookings get a personal review before anything is charged, so we can plan properly.

Ready when they are.
