"Our greyhound was very well cared for, and it was clear from the start how thoughtful and attentive our sitter was to their needs - which gave us real peace of mind. Carolyn is incredibly responsive, kept us updated, and showed genuine care throughout. We’re very grateful for their support and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to others."

"Thank you so much Ana for hosting our 5 month old puppy over the weekend! Plenty of photos and videos, and it looks like he had the best weekend ever!! Even though he was teething and had an upset stomach, nothing phased Ana. I'm sure he's looking forward to the next stay ☺️🥰 Thanks again"

"We had a really positive experience with Nikki and her partner Pedro for dog boarding. I was quite anxious about leaving our boys with someone new, as we usually have friends look after them, but they gave us great peace of mind from the start. They were responsive and reassuring whenever I checked in, which made a big difference. They handled our two big, high-energy dogs confidently and with care, which isn’t always easy, and it was clear they were well looked after. We really appreciated their help and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to others!"

"Sara and her partner were amazing. I received constant updates on Rocky letting me know how well he was settling in. When I picked him up he was very tired which is an indication that he had a lot of fun staying with Sara. It was obvious to me that he felt very comfortable and was very relaxed. I would definitely recommend Sara to anyone who needs a dog sitter. "

"Joel and Emma looked after my dog Bonnie while I was in Japan, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for better care. From the start, they were warm, organised and genuinely caring. Bonnie settled in so well with them, which says everything—she’s not shy about letting you know if she’s unhappy. I got regular updates and photos, which made being away so much easier. They treated her like part of their family, not just a job. I came home to a very happy, relaxed dog (and maybe one who didn’t miss me quite as much as I hoped 😅). I’d absolutely trust Joel and Emma again and would recommend them without hesitation to anyone needing someone reliable, kind and attentive to look after their pet."

But Franca and her partner looked after very well, kept us informed at all times with constant comms and pics. They really took good care and would recommend their service"

"I couldn't be happier with the care Rio received from Kevan and his partner during his 4-day stay! From the very beginning, they were absolutely fantastic. They went the extra mile by arranging a meet-and-greet to introduce Rio to their dog, Kayo, which made me feel so much more comfortable leaving him. Throughout Rio's stay, they provided constant updates, including a steady stream of photos and videos. I never once had to reach out to them for an update, which meant the world to me. It was clear that Rio was having a great time, as they took him on multiple walks near parks and lakes, and they were incredibly attentive to his food schedule, giving us regular updates on his meals. Kevan and his partner are incredibly easygoing and responsive, making the entire process seamless. The care they showed for Rio was truly exceptional; they treated him like a member of their own family. It was because of their genuine care and attention that I was able to thoroughly enjoy my vacation without a single worry about my pup. I feel so lucky to have found them on Pawshake and would absolutely book with them again. Thank you both so much for providing such a comforting and wonderful home for Rio!"

"Otis and Cairo stayed with Ciaran and Sinead for 4 nights. Throughout the entire process from the initial meet and greet to picking the boys up, Ciaran and Sinead made everything so seamless. We could tell our dogs were very well cared for and for that I am truly grateful. Unfortunately we didn’t get the chance to meet Sinead as she was travelling, but Ciaran was extremely polite, professional and attentive. We highly recommend them and will certainly be booking again."

Why dog boarding ?

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 Balaclava VIC for a doggy day care service? You can drop your dog off at the sitter’s home on the way to work or organise with your local Balaclava 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 doggy 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 Balaclava 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 dog boarding in Balaclava VIC on Pawshake. Over 7485 pet owners in Balaclava VIC have left a review, with an average of 4.96/5. All paid safely using Visa, Mastercard, American Express
