"Could not recommend Emma more highly as a conscientious, caring and kind pet sitter. We were in Thailand and our neighbours suddenly decided our dog was too high needs for them and they couldn’t care for him anymore. Emma came to the rescue! She picked up little Angus, and cared for him like her own baby for 2 weeks. She was kind, courteous, committed, sent regular pics and updates. Gus is old and a bit high needs and she handled it with care and patience. Such a legend. Couldn’t recommend more! "

"Linda is a terrific dog sitter! Our pup loves his time there and is excited to arrive each time. He enjoys a mix of playing at the park nearby when it's fine and some down time relaxing. Linda sends photos, videos and updates and is excellent with all communication. She takes great care of our pup and is highly recommended."

"My dog stayed with Nicola as day care for 2 weeks and always returned happy and well cared for. Nicola was communicative throughout the day and accommodated last minute adjustments. Would work with her again."

"I’ve booked Carin three times now, and I can confidently say she is the best pet sitter I’ve ever had. She takes such amazing care of my corgi, Coco, and it’s very clear how much she genuinely loves and understands dogs. Every time Coco stays with her, he comes back so happy, relaxed, and well cared for honestly, I think he loves her more than me now! Carin is reliable, kind, and very attentive. She always makes sure Coco is comfortable, safe, and enjoying his time. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing my dog is in such good hands. If you’re looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter, I highly recommend Carin. You really don’t need to worry at all she truly is the best."

"I’m so grateful for Sara for taking such great care of my cat Ted on such short notice! With only 2 days’ notice, she stepped in and made the whole experience so smooth. I really appreciated the regular photos updates, report card, and excellent communication throughout. Ted looked relaxed and happy in every update, especially because he can be timid around new people and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands. Highly recommend! 🐈😁"

"Chintia & Jeffrey went above and beyond caring for Pebbles. From the moment we dropped her off, it was clear they truly understand early puppy development and how to balance play, rest, and gentle structure. We received a detailed daily report with updates on her energy levels, appetite, playtime, and naps, which gave us complete peace of mind throughout the day. Pebbles came home happy, settled, and clearly well cared for. Their communication was excellent, their home felt calm and safe, and their care was exactly as described (if not better). We wouldn’t hesitate to book again, would rate 100/10 if I could! Highly recommend Chintia & Jeffrey to anyone looking for attentive, thoughtful, and genuinely loving care for their pup"

She sent us updates and pictures which helped ease any fears, and she was very polite and looked after our dog with treats and playtime. Highly recommend! "

"Audrey and her family took the best care of my little 11 week old puppy, giving her so much love while I was at work that she didn’t even notice I was there for pick up! Communication and drop off was a breeze also and we can’t wait for our next stay. "

Why dog day care ?

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 South Melbourne VIC 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 South Melbourne VIC 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 South Melbourne VIC 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.

Pet owners book doggy day care in South Melbourne VIC on Pawshake. Over 5553 pet owners in South Melbourne VIC have left a review, with an average of 4.96/5. All paid safely using Visa, Mastercard, American Express
