"I cannot recommend Kai and Sera highly enough! They looked after my 17-year-old Shih Tzu with such kindness and patience. At first, she was unsettled and barking a bit looking for me, but they took the time to comfort her and ensure she felt safe and secure. Their care and dedication truly made all the difference. It’s clear they have a genuine love for animals, and I wouldn’t hesitate to trust them again. If you’re looking for compassionate and reliable pet carers, these are the people to choose!"

"Mikaela was an absolute dream as a pet sitter. She asked really great questions at the meet and greet and was happy to help out last minute. She provided lovely updates everyday with photos and an entertaining run down of events. Molly was very happy and we felt confident she was looked after and loved while we were away. 10/10 would recommend!! Thank you Mikaela :)"

"I recently had the pleasure of leaving my dog, Bella, with Victoria and Fernando for two days, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she received. They treated her like part of their family, and it was clear she had a wonderful time. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a caring and responsible pet sitter"

"I recently had the pleasure of leaving Shoto, in the care of Leon and Mel, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Shoto had an amazing time, he was kept entertained with plenty of walks, cafe visits; mental stimulation, and attentive care throughout. He even learned a new trick! It was clear that Leon truly understood his needs and went above and beyond to ensure he was happy and well looked after.
When I picked him up, Shoto was healthy, content, and clearly sad to leave! It’s reassuring to know he was in such capable and caring hands. I highly recommend Leon to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of Shoto – we’ll definitely be back!"

"Thank you Tannia, for being such an incredible and compassionate pet sitter! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I cannot recommend her enough to look after your pup. During our two-week trip, Tannia kept us updated daily with messages, videos and photos. It was amazing to see how much our dog had settled in and loved Tannia & her partner Felipe! Tannia's excellent care for our dog, Poppy, made our holiday stress-free. We’re so grateful!!"

/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.
