"Angie and her house mate were great! My dog Noodle enjoyed all the extra cuddles and attention. He clearly felt at home as he boldly slept like a starfish on the couch and shared the bed.
We loved the clear communication and daily summaries with information about food consumed, medication times and bathroom breaks.
Noodle will definitely be going back to Angie’s place. "

"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 highly recommend Paris as a dog sitter. Paris looked after my standard XLPoodle Raph for 10 days while I was away. She picked Raph off and dropped him home which was very convenient for me as I dont personally drive. She also comunicated with me every morning and evening about how he was; sending cute photos of Raph playing, waching TV , sleeping , going to parks and cafes while I was away so I could see what he was up . Raph came home with a brushed and washed coat looking very well looked after and happy. While I was away Raph had an itritated eye and Paris made sure to alert me as soon as she noticed and purchased some eye drops which she gave to Raph so that his eye healed quickly with no hassles. I would highly recomend Paris for larger dogs as she has experience with my dog and also Border collies . Paris will be looking after Raph in the future when I travel for work."

"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. "

"Thalia looked after our 6 month old husky and we couldn’t have felt more comfortable. From the moment Dolly was dropped off at Thalias house she instantly felt at home. Thalia constantly sent us photo updates and let us know what our pup had been up to that day. We would recommend Thalia to anyone who is needing a lovely and reliable pet sitter. "

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!

"Bron was the absolutely perfect sitter for Juno. I felt 100% comfortable leaving Juno in her care for the weekend and on collecting Juno it was obvious she had a terrific weekend. Bron and daughter gave Juno plenty of walks, ball throws and loving/caring company during her stay. Bron sent updates during the weekend which was lovely to get and to know that all was A-Okay.
I will definitely be looking for Bron’s availability as a first choice whenever we require future pet-care.
Thank you so much! "

"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. "

"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 !!!"

/nightFrequently 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.
