"Derling was super communicative and took great care of my dog. They were flexible about drop off and pick up times and didn’t hesitate when I needed to leave her at extra night. Highly recommend. "

"Zelda took fabulous care of my furbabies. She was very communicative and easy to co-ordinate with. I enjoyed the daily updates of what they were up to. When I returned, my furbabies were very happy with their stay - I know because I didn't get any side-eye or huffing and puffing like they ususally do after I've been away. "

"I recently had the pleasure of leaving my dog, Bella, with Victoria and Fernando for two days, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she received. They treated her like part of their family, and it was clear she had a wonderful time. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a caring and responsible pet sitter"

"I don't even know where to begin! Paris is simply the most wonderful dog sitter a human could ever hope to find. Our little Sushi was absolutely ecstatic when I picked them up. His tail was wagging so hard, I thought it might fly off! Paris sent the cutest photos and videos of Sush having the time of his life. If you're looking for a dog sitter who will treat your pet like royalty, look no further than Paris! "

"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."

"Tannia was so wonderful taking care of Harvey. The photos, videos and communication made it clear not only was he enjoying himself, but I think Tannia loved taking care of him too. This gave me so much comfort knowing he was with a loving carer! Anytime I have to travel, I will definitely be using Tannia - truly lovely person who genuinely cares and provided Harvey with a loving home away from home. Thank you Tannia, I am forever grateful! "

"Samantha took excellent care of our two miniature dachshunds. As first time users of this service we were really impressed with the communication and ease of service. We received regular updates (playing, sleeping and out on walks) and felt very confident that our much loved family members were being cared for. Will not hesitate to rebook in future. "

"Barney seems to have had a wonderful time, staying with Harley, Kate and Madeline! It was extremely easy to make arrangements and communicate with Harley. I also met the lovely Kate for the "meet and greet". Harley also sent pics of Barney during the stay, which is always reassuring when you are missing furry friends. Barney came home happy and relaxed. Harley even dropped over some food I had left behind. I have no hesitation in recommending Harley, Kate and Madeline as responsible and caring pet sitters, and definitely hope to use their services again. "

"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"

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.
