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 Symonston 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 Symonston 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 Symonston 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.

 Our Services
We offer the following services:
Pet sitting in your home or ours: We’re flexible—whether your pet feels more at ease at home or would enjoy a stay with us, we’ll make sure they feel safe and loved.
Daily walks and playtime: We offer 1–2 walks per day, around 30–45 minutes each, tailored to your dog’s energy level and needs.
Feeding, medication, and grooming: We can follow any feeding schedule, administer oral or topical medications, and offer light grooming such as brushing and cleaning.
Basic training: We’re happy to reinforce basic commands and routines during your pet’s stay.
House care while you’re away: We’ll water plants, collect mail, and keep your home clean and tidy.
Photo and update service: We send regular updates and photos so you can relax while you're away.

 Our Home Environment
We live in a clean, non-smoking home with no other pets.
Guest pets are welcome to sleep wherever they’re most comfortable—we provide cozy bedding in quiet spaces, or they can sleep in their own bed or crate if preferred.
Our backyard is secure, fully fenced, and safe, perfect for supervised playtime and toilet breaks.
There’s also a large park just 5 minutes away, ideal for longer walks.

I am a passionate animal lover with over 5 years of experience as a dedicated pet sitter, caring for a wide range of furry (and feathered!) friends. I’ve looked after dogs of all sizes and personalities, including poodles, golden retrievers, labradors, border collies, cocker spaniels and beagles, as well as cats, guinea pigs and birds. Each pet has their own unique needs, and I take pride in providing care to make them feel safe, happy and loved.
Growing up, my mum was allergic to animals, so we weren’t able to have pets of our own. Because of that, once I turned 18, I made it my mission to spend as much time as possible caring for animals and helping other households when they needed support. Pet sitting quickly became something I truly love, not just a job.&nbsp;
I’ve recently moved to Canberra and am excited to continue offering reliable and compassionate pet care. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime or simply keeping your pet company, I treat every animal as if they were my own. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind, knowing their beloved companions are in caring and capable hands.&nbsp;&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.

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;

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!

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^^!

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 

Hi there! Thank you so much for reaching out. My name is Vartika (you can call me Vee) and I’m absolutely thrilled to welcome your fur babies into our home.
This is their home away from home — a cozy, safe, and loving space where they can play, nap, and soak up all the affection they deserve. Your pups will enjoy comfy spots to snooze, fun toys to chase, and plenty of cuddles throughout their stay.
We also have a secure, spacious backyard where they can sniff, explore, and stretch those happy paws to their heart’s content.
I’m a proud mom of two wonderful girls and a gentle, well-behaved Labradoodle named Oreo, who loves making new furry friends.
I can’t wait to get to know your fur babies — their quirks, favorite treats, and all the little things that make them special. My goal is to make sure they feel loved, comfortable, and completely at home every single day they’re here.
Looking forward to meeting your precious pup — we’re so happy to welcome you into our dog-loving family!
