New to home dog boarding?
Here's what it's all about
What are home dog boarding services?
Pawshake home dog boarding is an overnight pet care service that differs from traditional dog kennels. Instead, your dog can stay at a pet sitter’s house for the booking period and receive the very same love and care that they would at home.
Ensure your dog has a smooth stay
- Meet & greet your pet sitter before paying
- Introduce your dog to your pet sitter and meet all other guest and resident pets
- Inspect the property where your dog will be staying to make sure it suits your pooch
- Leave an emergency contact number, the number of your pet’s vet and their microchip and vaccination information
Will home boarding suit your dog?
From big to small: we have your dog covered!
Puppy boarding
Puppy boarding is a great choice when your precious pup is still undergoing toilet training or needs constant supervision. Many experienced Pawshake sitters offer puppy boarding in a puppy-proof home environment.
Senior dog boarding
Like puppy boarding, senior dogs can require supervision and care throughout the day and night. You can rest assured that your older pet will have the same comfort and care when home dog boarding as they would at home.
Active dogs
It’s never a good idea to leave an active dog home alone for a long period of time: they will take out their energy on your new shoes or furniture. Instead, consider leaving your dog in a secure home boarding environment with plenty of play, attention and exercise.
Special needs dogs boarding
If your dog has a condition that requires extra care or supervision during home dog boarding, discuss this with your home boarding sitter - you can be sure they can accommodate your dog’s unique needs with love and care.
Nervous Dogs
If your dog is a bit shy, choose a home dog boarding sitter that doesn’t own other pets or have other bookings. Dogs that suffer separation anxiety are also more comfortable in cosy home than in a noisy, unfamiliar environment such as a dog kennel.

What can we say about Richard and Gail? They have gone above and beyond what we expected of a first-time pet sitter. As most pet owners know, leaving your furbaby for an extended period of time can be stressful for both pet and owner. (In our case, probably more owner!) This was the first time we le ...

Pet protection guaranteed

Guilt-free pet care
Pawshake sitters are veterinary students, retired couples or young families who love having dogs around. If you don’t feel like asking family or friends or to look after your pet, why not ask an enthusiastic Pawshake pet sitter?

Stay in contact
If you are worried about missing your pet when you are away, fear not: your pet sitter can keep you updated with photos and messages of your pooch having a great time during the home dog boarding service period. You can even plan a fun video call with your dog!
