"Natia and Oliver were wonderful dog sitters for my Cavoodle, Duke. They showed genuine love and care for my dog Duke. Natia was friendly, very quick with communications and she sent photos and updates throughout the booking. Duke was well looked after. I highly recommend Natia and Oliver to look after your pet, you will feel at ease knowing that your pet is in great hands"

"Jay and Anthony were absolutely amazing with my dog. I received regular updates and photos and felt that my dog bear was in the absolute best hands. They took my boy for several walks a day and kept him company with other furry friends in the house. I will definitely send my dog back. "

"Larina took great care of my little dog Miles. He was happy and seemed to have enjoyed the company at her place. Larina provided updates (photos and videos) and communicated on video calls too. I was stress free during my work trip! I’d definitely recommend her for dog boarding! Thanks Larina 🥰"

"Summer and Kierryn are really great with our frenchie, Fredzel. We are really concerned as Fredzel can be very anxious in new environment but Summer gave Fredzel a lot of attention and took him out for a lot of activities. We can see Fredzel had a very pleasant staycation. Regular updates are provided and Summer has been on point with all Fredzel’s treatment. They are very passionate and custom-tailored to fred’s special needs, such tear stains and eye drops. Definitely will recommend Summer for your pet sitting needs. "

"WOW! Where do I begin...... From the very first meet and greet i knew Dee and Sasi were amazing people. On late notice and after multiple cancelations or people who agreed to look after our boy but tuned him down due to his size and breed who have no idea about dog sitting and management of large breeds it looked like our big cuddly bear "archie" the German shepherd would be left with no one to take care of him. Dee replied to my msgs and promptly let me know that our holiday dates were not a problem to host our Archie. We quickly organized a meet and greet for that week as we were flying out of the country in less than a week and stress levels were quiet high at the time. Being conscious of our big boy's size and nature i was worried about the meet and greet as our Archie has set routines and a unique way of communicating to us when he needs something, and this was something i was worried about incase Archie would stress out during his stay but boy was i wrong. From the first moment we met both Dee and Sasi have the warmest and most loving nature towards animals and although archie was a bit stressed in a new environment they persisted with hugs, kisses, love and attention until he felt comfortable, and it was all uphill from there. Constant daily/weekly updates with photos and videos of our boy happy on his walks and playtime with other dogs (Dee and Sasi did an amazing job socializing our boy who is quite standoffish at first to other dogs but archie ended up being the talk of the town during his stay making friends with multiple dogs both big and small and also gently interacting with a newborn baby. He was so comfortable i could see the love and care he received purely through the photos Dee was sending me. Thank you so much Dee and Sasi for loving our boy like your own and we will be back for more visits now we have found our perfect doggy home away from home for our Archie. I would highly recommend Dee and Sasi for any breed of dog as they know how to handle dogs and provide a healthy and balanced environment for both big and small dogs and this is proven with the regular visits of repeat customers who stayed throughout the time our Archie was a resident with them. THANK YOU Dee and Sasi !!!"

"Kris and her husband were an absolute joy to work with and took amazing care of Dusty. They really went above and beyond, sending daily pics, working on her training and even dropped her back to my place when I was busy moving home. They live next to a fenced park which is great for daily walks. The sweetest touch was when I was unpacking her bag and saw a gift that Kris had left which was an adorable Polaroid of dusty that is now in my study with some treats. Couldn’t recommend them enough! Book now!!"

"Thank you Jeannine for looking after Delta. Jeannine was a wonderful, caring sitter who kept me well updated while I was away. She asked great questions to ensure she would provide a routine in line with what my dog usually receives. Delta was well looked after, went on lots of walks and even had a trip to the dog beach! Delta came home happy and content.Thanks for all the photos and updates you sent. We would love you to mind Delta again. In the future and would recommend you to other dog owners looking for some caring minders. "

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.
