"Lucy was an amazing sitter! Right from the get go Logan picked up on her kind vibes and was happy to be around her. She sent us regular updates with photo's of Logan looking happy and relaxed at her place. They went on lots of adventures and it looked like he had a lovely vacation with Lucy. I couldn't recomend her any more highly! A+"

"Maria is amazing person. She loves dog and is used to look after dog. She is so reliable that I could leave my dog at ease. I’m sure my dog had a good time. She sent me some pictures twice a day, and she responded very quickly. It was helpful for me. I will definitely ask Maria again next time."

"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. "

"I recently hired Kaycee to care for my beloved Australian Cattle Dog, Solar, for an extended period of five days, and I cannot praise her enough for the outstanding care she provided. From the moment I entrusted Solar to her, I knew I had made the right choice. Kaycee’s professionalism, warmth, and genuine love for animals shone through in every interaction, making this an incredibly positive experience for both Solar and me.
Kaycee is the epitome of understanding, loving, and reliable. She took the time to learn about Solar’s unique personality, preferences, and needs, ensuring that my pup felt comfortable and cherished. As a cattle dog, Solar is bursting with energy and requires significant physical activity to stay happy and healthy. Kaycee went above and beyond, taking Solar out for hours each day for vigorous walks, runs, and playtime. These outings were tailored to Solar’s high-energy nature, and I could tell from the photos and videos Kaycee shared that Solar was thriving under her care.
One of the standout aspects of Kaycee’s service was her commitment to communication. She provided multiple daily updates, including detailed messages, photos, and even short video clips of Solar’s adventures. These updates were a lifeline for me while I was away, as they reassured me that Solar was not only safe but also having the time of her life. Whether it was a snapshot of Solar bounding through a park or a clip of her happily chasing a ball, Kaycee’s thoughtfulness put my heart at ease and allowed me to enjoy my time away without worry.
Kaycee’s passion for dog care is evident in every aspect of her work. She doesn’t just go through the motions; she invests herself fully in ensuring the dogs in her care are happy, healthy, and engaged. Her attention to detail, from ensuring Solar’s diet was followed to providing mental stimulation through games and interaction, demonstrated a level of dedication that is truly rare. She treated Solar as if she were her own, and that level of care is something every pet owner hopes for in a dog sitter.
Beyond her skills and reliability, Kaycee’s warmth and approachability made the entire process seamless. She was flexible when I needed to extend the booking, responsive to my questions, and genuinely invested in making sure both Solar and I were satisfied. Her love for animals is infectious, and it’s clear that dog sitting is not just a job for her, it’s a calling.
If you’re searching for someone to care for your dog, I wholeheartedly recommend Kaycee. She is a gem in the world of pet care, and I can say with 100% confidence that she will provide your furry friend with the love, attention, and exercise they need to thrive. Solar and I are already looking forward to her next visit with Kaycee!"

"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!"

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Beyond Grateful!
We cannot thank Ruby enough for the exceptional care she gave our dog Koby while we were overseas for a month. From day one, she went above and beyond – sending us daily photos and videos that gave us immense peace of mind and many smiles along the way. 🐶❤️
Koby truly had a holiday of his own! Ruby not only cared for him like he was her own, but also gave him enriching walks, taught him new tricks, and even treated him to gourmet dog meals (he was completely spoiled and loved every minute of it!). She was attentive, thoughtful, and so genuinely loving – even adjusting his walking gear to ensure his comfort.
We could tell from every message and update just how happy and relaxed Koby was. He formed a beautiful bond with her dog, Patches, and we honestly think he came back fitter, happier, and maybe even a little cheekier than when we left. 😄
Ruby is a gem – kind, trustworthy, and clearly passionate about animals. We would not hesitate to book her again and feel lucky to have found someone who treated Koby like family.
Thank you, Ruby, for making our trip more enjoyable knowing our boy was in such good hands. 🐾💕"

"Otis and Cairo stayed with Ciaran and Sinead for 4 nights. Throughout the entire process from the initial meet and greet to picking the boys up, Ciaran and Sinead made everything so seamless. We could tell our dogs were very well cared for and for that I am truly grateful. Unfortunately we didn’t get the chance to meet Sinead as she was travelling, but Ciaran was extremely polite, professional and attentive. We highly recommend them and will certainly be booking again."

Why dog boarding ?
For pet parents, one of the hardest things about going to work each day is wondering what your dog will get up to while you are gone. At Pawshake, we understand that dogs need activity and interaction during the day, so why not book your dog with one of our trusted sitters in Port Melbourne VIC for a doggy day care service? You can drop your dog off at the sitter’s home on the way to work or organise with your local Port Melbourne VIC Pawshake sitter to pick up and drop off your dog for you.
Pet day care is a great way to keep your dog mentally and physically active during the day so that you can come home to a happy, relaxed dog. Pawshake’s home day care service is great for young dogs who need constant supervision: puppy daycare allows your pup to maintain a consistent routine, which is important during the toilet training process. It’s also a great option for dogs who need extra care and attention, or those who are extra active.
Our sitters who offer doggy day care and puppy daycare services are more adaptable than your average big day care centre. Numbers are kept small and some Pawshake sitters will only take in one dog at a time. This means they can work around your timing and any special requirements your dog may have. So, let your four-legged best friend enjoy their day with a fun and loving Port Melbourne VIC sitter who will shower them with love and dedicated attention. On top of that, you will also get photos and updates during the day so that you can follow your dog’s day care adventures!
Every day care booking also comes included with The Pawshake Guarantee, which includes veterinary coverage, customer service support 7 days a week and more.
