"I am so happy that I chose Kezia to look after Bobby. She was lovely to deal with and incredibly accommodating throughout the stay. I felt completely comfortable leaving Bobby in her care and had every confidence he was receiving the very best care. Kezia sent daily updates and photos, which allowed me to relax and enjoy my holiday knowing Bobby was in great hands. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter."

"I thoroughly recommend Linda for anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. She was wonderful with my two pets and clearly took great care to make sure they were comfortable and well looked after.
Throughout the stay, Linda provided regular updates, which gave me real peace of mind knowing everything was going well while I was away. It was clear they were in very good hands.
If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely great with animals, Linda is an excellent choice."

"We cannot thank Sunny enough for the incredible care she provided for my fur baby. After a traumatizing experience with a previous pet sitter, our pet needed someone exceptionally responsible, gentle, and experienced—and Sunny was everything we needed and more.
She did an amazing job caring for him physically, but what impressed me most was how she supported him mentally. She was patient, attentive, and helped him heal and rebuild his confidence after his last bad stay.
Seeing him relaxed and happy in her care brought us so much peace of mind.
Sunny is truly a compassionate professional. We will definitely be returning to her for all future stays. Highly recommended!"

"I had such a great experience with Carin for dog boarding! She took care of Coco so well, and I could tell Coco really enjoyed the stay. When Coco came back, he was so happy and relaxed — it honestly says everything.
Carin is very trustworthy, caring, and attentive. I felt completely at ease knowing Coco was in good hands. Highly recommend her if you need a reliable and loving pet sitter. Will definitely book again!"

"My cat Fridge had the BEST time with Sophia!
Sophia went above and beyond to make sure my son, Fridge, was happy and well taken care of while I was away. Not only did she handle all the basics perfectly, but she also brought toys for him and spent extra time playing, which was so thoughtful!!
She always sent through frequent updates and pictures/ videos of Fridge – which really put my mind at ease as it was my first time leaving him with a petsitter. I was nervous initially but it was so clear she treated him like her own, and when I picked him up, he was a very happy and relaxed cat!!
Sophia is very reliable, caring, and GENUINELY passionate about animals and I am so glad I found her!! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I’ll definitely be calling on her again whenever I need a pet sitter. I HIGHLY recommend her services to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pets with love and care!
Thank you again Sophia for all the help and care you’ve given to Fridge ❤️"

"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."

/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.
