"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 "

"Ava took good care of our cavvie, Parsley on an overnight stay. Her home is perfect for Parsley's needs. Ava has a gentle disposition and I think Parsley appreciated this - or possibly took advantage of it! She was very spoilt on her visit to Ava. We would definitely consider Ava again when needing care for Parsely. Thanks Ava!"

"We cannot thank Dharsh enough for taking such wonderful care of our puppy. This was our first experience booking a pet sitter while we were away fo a couple of days, and our puppy had an amazing time based on the photos and videos she regularly shared with us. Dharsh was excellent at keeping us updated and making us feel at ease. Her experience with dogs was evident, as she possesses a calm demeanour and a genuine caring nature. We will undoubtedly book her again in the future. We are thrilled to have found a pet sitter who perfectly meets our needs."

/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.
