"Absolutely thrilled with Jhon & Katherine as our pet sitters! They were super friendly, clearly adored our dog Jinx, and kept us updated with the most gorgeous photos while we were away. We felt totally relaxed knowing he was in such loving hands. You can tell they genuinely care. We’ll definitely be using them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring, and all-round wonderful pet sitters! 🐾"

"I highly recommend Yuchen. She spent around 3.5 weeks looking after my 4-year-old husky x German shepherd. She consistently kept me updated about my little one, Enzo, and shared several photos. Her love and care for my little guy, Enzo are truly remarkable. I can confidently say that she is one of the best pet sitters I've ever had. We'll definitely be booking with her again."

"Karina was terrific, I cannot thank her enough for taking care of my cat Silver, for me while I was away for several weeks. She has the full cat minding set up, is experienced and loving when it comes to caring for cats, sends regular videos and updates and is good value, particularly if as longer term stays can be very pricey. My cat Silver went away highly anxious, and came back a happier and more resilient little guy, all thanks to Karina, the complete cat whispering pro. If you need someone to look after your pet, look no further."

"Emmanuelle looked after my two girls over the course of a few weeks and during that time I couldn't be happier with the service she provided.
My girls were looked after with the utmost care and they were so comfortable that they didn't want to leave when it came time to bring them home (the betrayal! 😂)
I highly recommend Emmanuelle when it comes to looking after your furry family members."

"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!"

"It was my pets’ first time with sitters, but Yani and Edem took such good care of them with so much love. I felt completely relieved and could focus on my work trip. They’re incredibly reliable pet sitters, and they sent me lots of photos every day. I could really see how comfortable my pets were with them. Highly recommended!"

"Really, really happy with our first experience suing Pawshake. Harper was an amazing sitter for Alfie. Her communication before hand was perfect, and she made me feel comfortable leaving Alfie in her care. There were lots of photos and updates during his stay, and he came home a very happy boy. Thankyou Harper!!"

/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.
