Top cities for dog boarding in Australia

Sometimes you just need to go away and can’t take your dog with you. Our dogs are such a big part of our lives and at Pawshake we understand that it can cause you to worry when you have to leave them with a stranger. Leaving them with friends and family is a great option but they might not always be available. Thankfully, through Pawshake you can connect with other dog loving people in your local Brisbane neighbourhood and make some new dog boarding options for your dog.
Pawshake has many pet sitters all over Brisbane that open their homes and welcome dogs of all shapes and sizes for dog boarding. Dog boarding services with Pawshake are completely different to those that you will find at dog kennels. There are two big differences and the first one is that your dog will stay in the sitter’s home and continue to experience a home environment during their dog boarding stay. The second difference is that unlike a crowded kennel where your dog is placed in a kennel run and may have limited attention during their dog boarding stay, our Pawshake dog boarding sitters have plenty of time and attention to share with your dog.
Because our sitters are all from your local Brisbane neighbourhood, you can expect that they know all the exciting and fun spots to bring your dog during their dog boarding stay. One of the benefits of living towards the north of Australia in a city like Brisbane is the fact that the weather is fairly consistent throughout the year – meaning that your dog is able to visit and swim at the beach pretty much all year round.
Our Brisbane pet sitters love spending time outdoors and will happily take your dog with them on adventures during their dog boarding stay. Imagine no two days being the same for your dog. One day it might be a 2km hike up Mt Coot-tha to admire the city views and the next it could be grabbing a takeaway coffee and exploring Sandgate. If you go towards the end of the afternoon, the low tide will reveal a nice soft and muddy surface that dogs just seem to love to run and explore on. Our experienced pet sitters highly recommend having some spare towels in the car or a seat protector cover if you plan to do let your dog loose on the mud. Something they have no doubt learnt from past dog boarding adventures.
During their dog boarding stay, if your dog is still up for a party after dark, your sitter may consider heading to Eat Street Markets in the Northshore where a cluster of food vendors inside shipping containers await. The markets are open air and dogs are welcome but must be on a leash.  
So as you can see, there are many things to do and you can relax in comfort while you are away knowing that your dog will be very well looked after by one of our friendly Brisbane dog boarding sitters. On top of that, all out sitters are vetted individually by our dedicated trust and safety team and all bookings on Pawshake come included with our premium insurance and 24 hour customer support. This ensures that your dog is in the best hands during their dog boarding stay.

Didn't find the answer?

Dog boarding is very safe when booked through Pawshake. All our sitters are verified manually by the Pawshake team, and each booking automatically includes coverage by the Pawshake Guarantee in case your pet needs a vet visit or you need to find a replacement sitter.

Is dog boarding safe?

Pawshake can be found Australia-wide, including throughout sunny Brisbane. Dog boarding on Pawshake is different to a traditional dog kennel or dog hotel, in that your dog will stay in the home of the sitter. Wherever there is an Australian community, you will find a Pawshake sitter.

Is dog boarding available in Brisbane?

Some dogs are not suited to traditional dog kennels because of their temperament or need for focused one-on-one care. Fortunately, Pawshake allows you to choose exactly who will be caring for your dog and the environment you want them to stay in.

Is dog boarding right for my dog?

Pawshake doesn't have one central location, but instead is found all throughout Brisbane. Our sitters are often local vet nurses, retirees and animal care students who are passionate about pets and have some spare time and space to offer.

I have been a professional house and pet sitter for the last 7 years. Animals have a sixth sense about me. I love pets. And look after your pets in their home with their routine. Just like babies the less disruption the better. I am a retired nurse so I am home all of the time. Your pets and property are my priority.
I have references as follows. Attachments weren't allowed.
I am also on Happy House Sitters for work and have utilised Mind a Home .
I have in my experience looked after Brisbane apartment dogs through to One hundred acre farms in Candelo looking after 3 camels, 4 cows, 2 donkeys, 80 sheep, 3 goats, peacocks, geese, ducks, chickens and a dog. I have also looked after cats, snakes, fish and a rare breed of gerberas. I have had the occasional break but ultimately miss the companionship of a pet. 
Me I'm solo now, my daughter is 26, no grandchild and no pets of my own.

Please call me Teddy
Motivation to be a pet sitter and previous experience:
Pets are like family, they need to be taken care of with a full heart! Even though you are not around them, I will fill in your position
With a genuine love for dogs and 16 years of experience. I have two dogs in Taiwan - a Shiba Inu and a Teddy Poodle. Since I love dogs very much and have 16 years of experience, I know some basic dog basics, such as what they can and cannot eat.
I provide dependable and compassionate dogsitting services tailored to meet the individual needs of each furry friend. From daily check-ins to overnight stays, I offer personalised care that ensures the well-being and happiness of every dog under my watch. I prioritise safety and security and I am committed to building trusting relationships with both the dogs and their owners, providing peace of mind and reassurance with every sitting arrangement. My passion for pets drives me to go above and beyond in ensuring the comfort and happiness of each furry friend, making their time apart from their owners as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. With a proven track record of reliability and professionalism, I strive to create a positive and enriching experience for all involved, fostering a sense of trust and satisfaction that extends long after the sitting session ends.
I don't only take vaccinated pets into my place, however, please understand that there are 2 requirements since I live in an apartment:

Barking is not acceptable.
Must be toilet-trained.

I live in Brisbane CBD. Send me a message and we can discuss further!! I  guarantee your fur friends will love me AND you want to rebook me forever 


Dog mum to 3 year old maltese shih tsu. Safe, secure environment with separate enclosed area if dog needs their own space. Only accepting small breeds that are toilet trained and vaccinated. Males only if desexed. I live in a very quiet close with no traffic next to a large park so daily walks are included. My dog gets along with most breeds except for dachshunds.
I work form home so am at home most of the time.  Fencing is 6 ft colorbond with sleepers underneath so very secure and safe for your pet. Access to a small yard, enough room to run around. I have 4 years experience looking after my dog. I also have fostered small dogs and cared for friend's dogs.
Can provide a quiet safe room in the house or enclosed patio area for sleeping at night time. My home is very safe and is a quiet environment for dogs. No children in the house.
Happy to provide regular updates/photos at anytime.
