"I can’t thank enough to Diana! She took care of my 3yrs old sausage dog.He loves people but he doesn’t like other dogs and when he sees other dogs he barks a lot, I was nervous to explain it to Diana but she handled my dog’s problem well and my dog seemed super happy with her update photos 😊❤️‼️I am so happy that I found you🥰‼️ Haruka and Otto🐶"

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Murieann and Jordan were absolutely wonderful and felt completely at ease leaving my dog Ray with them. Great communication, before booking and during Ray’s stay, sending me photo updates throughout his time with them. They absolutely spoiled him and he was so comfortable with them, he didn’t want to leave when I picked him up! Murieann and Jordan really do just love dogs, so it’s not too good to be true, fantastic value for money. Highly recommend. Will definitely be trusting them with Ray again in the future."

"Emily was a FANTASTIC dog sitter. She looked after our girl Luna with such great care, taking her on walks and making sure she felt at home. Emily kept in contact with us everyday, sending us photos and updates of how Luna was doing. Her dog Tums was also a great host, taking Luna under his wing and sharing his place with her. I would highly recommend Emily as a sitter, was also very conveniently located, as it was on the way to the airport for us. Thanks so much Emily, Luna will be back for another stay. ❤️❤️❤️"

Frequently 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.
