Top cities for doggy day care in Australia

For pet parents, one of the hardest things about going to work each day is wondering what your dog will get up to while you are gone. At Pawshake, we understand that dogs need activity and interaction during the day, so why not book your dog with one of our trusted sitters in Canberra ACT for a home day care service? You can drop your dog off at the sitter’s home on the way to work or organise with your local Canberra ACT Pawshake sitter to pick up and drop off your dog for you.

Pet day care is a great way to keep your dog mentally and physically active during the day so that you can come home to a happy, relaxed dog. Pawshake’s home day care service is great for young dogs who need constant supervision: puppy daycare allows your pup to maintain a consistent routine, which is important during the toilet training process. It’s also a great option for dogs who need extra care and attention, or those who are extra active.

Our sitters who offer home day care and puppy daycare services are more adaptable than your average big day care centre. Numbers are kept small and some Pawshake sitters will only take in one dog at a time. This means they can work around your timing and any special requirements your dog may have. So, let your four-legged best friend enjoy their day with a fun and loving Canberra ACT sitter who will shower them with love and dedicated attention. On top of that, you will also get photos and updates during the day so that you can follow your dog’s day care adventures!

Every day care booking also comes included with The Pawshake Guarantee, which includes veterinary coverage, customer service support 7 days a week and more.

Hello let me introduce myself - I am Christie &amp; my dog's name is Peanut; together we are 'Christie &amp; Peanut's Pet Services &amp; Doggy Daycare'.
The companionship of animals has taught me so much and enriched my life; I genuinely enjoy the caring for all types of animals . I have raised chicks  as a bird mother, been befriended by  dogs, trained  horses, been fascinated by fish  and made  cats purr!
My first job was in an animal hospital as an assistant and I was soon offered a promotion and flat at the hospital to handle after hours emergencies and look after the animal patients during the nights. Now I am an older responsible woman who has no children who lives with a truely amusing little dog, in my own inner city townhouse with a beautiful medium sized secure courtyard garden. My dog and I currently looking to enjoy the company of other peoples pets and have no other commitments so I am able to give your pet my attention for almost 24 hours 

My name is Sandy, I’m a student at ANU currently and I enjoy spending time with animals! I enjoy playing with and caring for dogs a lot! I don't own a dog since the time isn't good for me because I'm an international student studying in Australia. But I would adore taking care of yours! And I'll treat your dog like one of my own, I'll send you updates and photos on a regular basis. I'll be happy to accommodate any dietary or exercise requests!&nbsp;

Why do you pick me? Because I love cute animals and I am a very patient person. Additionally, I have an active lifestyle, so I always enjoy taking care of your furry friend! When I was younger, I also had experience caring for bunnies.&nbsp;

What service do I provide? I provide Dog Boarding (your pet staying at my home for 24 hours) and Doggy Day Care (your pet staying at my home during day time)! I live in Woden 2026 ACT. There is no backyard in my apartment, only a balcony, and your pet will sleep indoors with me! There is no children and no pets at my home. I can do several walks per day and most of the time I am staying with your pet or playing with your pet at home!

Please feel free to reach out at any time to arrange a meeting. I would adore spending time with your pet and assisting you!! To see whether I can assist you, please send me a message! I'm hoping to interact with some adorable animals and have fun with them^^!

What’s included: My primary focus is Puppy Daycare and socialization. I offer supervised play, basic command reinforcement (sitting, staying, walking on a lead), and potty training support.
To ensure high-quality care and safety, I only host one guest dog at a time (alongside my Mini Spoodle).
I provide two 30-minute walks per day—one in the morning and one in the late afternoon—to the nearby parks in Queanbeyan East.
Daily Routine: Pet care is the heart of my daily schedule. As a professional who works primarily from home, my routine is built around structured play, rest, and outdoor breaks.
• Availability: I am available Monday through Friday for daycare and select weekends for boarding.
• Supervision: I work from home, meaning I am physically present throughout the day. I do not leave guest pets alone for more than 1 hour during daycare, meeting all safety requirements. I can provide 24/7 supervision during boarding stays.
The ground-floor unit at Queanbeyan East, is uniquely conducive to puppy daycare. Its layout allows for seamless, stair-free access to the outdoors, while the communal rear courtyard provides a safe, fenced space for fresh air and supervised play. Whether it’s reinforcing basic training or ensuring a consistent routine, my home offers a professional, reliable, and "paw-approved" space where puppies can thrive while their owners are away. See you with your furbabies!

Hello! I’m an animal-lover and new to pet sitting, having recently lost my 12 year old Rottweiler to illness. I understand that being away from your pets can be stressful — I truly understand. I can provide a calm and caring environment with plenty of enrichment, attention, and love. Your pet’s wellbeing is priority!
I'm happy to accept all ages and personalities — from playful puppies (holiday periods and weekend only) and curious kittens to older pets who may need gentle care or medication. I’m attentive, reliable, and committed to keeping routines consistent so your pet feels secure and comfortable. 
I work full-time; however, accept boarding services 7 days a week and daycare on weekends. Pick-up and drop-off is restricted to after 4pm on weekdays due to employment commitments.
* Currently not accepting pets that like to dig, as I am repairing my lawn from recent care of 2 little diggers.
You can expect:️ Daily photo and video updates️ Walks tailored to your pet’s energy level️ Enrichment and playtime️ Specified feeding, and medication (if required)️ Respect for your instructions️ A genuine love for animals
If you want peace of mind and a sitter who treats your pet like their own — I’d love to help. 
Let’s chat and schedule a meet-and-greet!&nbsp;

Hey guys, so my name is Jess and I am looking to pet sit dogs or cats. I grew up on a farm so I have been around animals my whole life and have always been an avid animal lover. Up until recently we had a small dog named Tyson who loved cuddling, but loved his walks even more. We would love to be able to pet sit while we don't have our own pet currently. I have done a lot of travel in the past so I know what it's like to need someone to look after my fur child. I have a small house with an enclosed backyard, and am very close to a decent sized oval. I am happy to accommodate any needs wherever I can so just swing me a message and I would be happy to help! Please note that I have a baby (not yet crawling around) so please let me know if this is a concern.

Having just moved to Canberra from overseas and no longer having pets, I'm super excited to join pawshake. What better way to get to know a new city, then by exploring with a four legged friend?&nbsp;I grew up having dogs (a Labrador and a Golden Retriever) a three legged cat and some chooks but in general love all animals as you can see in my pictures. Until recently I had a cat which I was really crazy about. Having a dog and working full-time sadly was too hard so I&nbsp;looked after dogs (a Husky and Labrador)&nbsp;before via an app similar to this one, back in The Netherlands.&nbsp;In my spare time I love to go for hikes and play tennis. But let's be honest, both are even more exciting when you bring a dog, right? With dogs I love to go for long walks, a swim, or a play in the park but I'm also happy to go for a shorter walk and some cuddles if your dog might be a bit older or less active.&nbsp;I'm a social and easy going guy and love dogs that are social and easy going too. Of you have any questions, please let me know by sending a message. I hope&nbsp;to see you and your furry friend soon! Bas

We’re a couple who truly love dogs and share our home with Milo, our very friendly 4-year-old dachshund. Milo is very social and enjoys having dog friends around, so visiting dogs usually settle in quickly with him.

One of us works mornings and the other afternoons, so your dog would rarely be alone for more than about an hour. Most of the time they’ll have company from us or from Milo, and we make sure they feel safe, relaxed and part of the home.

We treat our dog as a real member of the family, not just a pet, and we would care for your dog the same way. We know how hard it can be to leave them when you travel, so our goal is to give them a calm, loving place where they feel comfortable.

When a new dog arrives, we take time to introduce them slowly to Milo and allow them to explore the apartment at their own pace. We can provide daily walks, playtime, feeding routines, and lots of attention and cuddles. We’re also happy to follow any specific routines your dog is used to.

We live in a carpeted apartment, so we can only host small, well-trained dogs that are toilet trained and comfortable in an apartment environment.

Your dog will be treated like part of the family
