Our Founder

Hi, I'm Tiffany, founder of Smiling Paws, an outdoor doggy day care created to offer dogs a natural and enriching environment where they can thrive.  

  My journey began with Zion, my beloved dog who absolutely thrived outdoors. His happiness and growth through positive interactions with other dogs and skilled canine specialists inspired me to create Smiling Paws. 

 I founded Smiling Paws not only to fulfill my passion in helping dogs thrive,  but also to create a career where I could share every day with Zion. Together, we enjoy the outdoors and the company of the happy dogs I care for and love.

 Before founding Smiling Paws, I was a primary school teacher and gained experience at a reputable doggy day care, where I deepened my understanding of animal care.  Currently, I’m completing my certification in dog behaviour and training to further enhance my ability to support each dog’s full potential.

 At Smiling Paws, our mission is to ensure every dog is happy, healthy, and confident through personalised care and meaningful interactions in nature. I'm passionate about creating a place where dogs can flourish and enjoy every moment outdoors, just like Zion and I do every day. 

I look forward to bringing wellbeing and happiness to you and your furry friends!

Meet Zion, the co-founder of Smiling Paws! 

Zion's a calm, smart, and friendly working line German Shepherd. His favourite treat is roast chicken, and he loves playing fetch. 

A disciplined dog, Zion doesn't chase birds. Due to his calm demeanour, he serve as our furry pack leader.

Zion brings endless smiles to his mum and all who meet him. I love him to bits and am incredibly grateful for him. I couldn't have prayed for a better dog! 

Please feel free to come say hi if you see us! Oh, and be prepared to play some fetch with Zion too. :)
