"Maria is amazing person. She loves dog and is used to look after dog. She is so reliable that I could leave my dog at ease. I’m sure my dog had a good time. She sent me some pictures twice a day, and she responded very quickly. It was helpful for me. I will definitely ask Maria again next time."

"Valeria was really easy to work with and took good care of our elderly Labradoodle. She's very relaxed and easy going which was appreciated since our dog can be a bit crazy! I felt at ease during our holiday and didn't need to worry at all. "

"Kate and John have cared for my darling Ginger multiple times. They take really good care of my dog, and have also been flexible in keeping Ginger longer when my schedule has changed. Ginger enjoyed playing with other doggie friends, as well as receiving love and care. I highly recommend Derling Katherine "

"This was the perfect Pawshake experience for us.
Sophie responded to our request very quickly, and stayed in touch throughout.
Her and her partner were lovely, warm people who obviously had fun with our dog, Andy.
Flexible on drop off and pick up.
An all-round good experience. Will definitely contact her again next time we're in Melbourne.
Thanks Sophie!"

"Zoe was incredibly accomodating and flexible and she treated our cat with love and affection. She sent us regular updates and photos, and we could tell that our fluffy boy was happy with her while we were away. 10/10 will definitely be booking with Zoe again! It felt great knowing our cat was in good hands while we traveled. Thank you Zoe! "

/nightFrequently asked questions about home dog boarding
Your home dog boarding questions answered
What is dog boarding in Melbourne?
Dog boarding is an overnight pet care service. Pawshake is different to a dog kennel, in that your dog goes to stay in the home of a sitter for an agreed period of time. Your dog will receive care and love in a cosy home environment.
What is the price of dog boarding?
Boarding costs about $15 per night on average. Sitters on Pawshake set their own prices, so the total cost may vary depending on their location, availability, facilities and pet care experience. This is most often more affordable than a dog kennel or dog hotel.
Why choose Pawshake for your pet?
Pawshake offers tools that make it smooth and easy to arrange dog boarding. We offer advanced search filters for easy matching, a sophisticated calendar tool to check sitter availability and secure online payments. The Pawshake team are here to help at any stage of the process.
Can I find dog boarding anywhere in Melbourne?
It is easy to find dog boarding anywhere in Melbourne via the Pawshake website. Our sitters are real community members who love pets and live right near you. Enter your suburb and dates into the Pawshake home page to see who is nearby and send them a message to get started.
