Antonio was very friendly & lovely with my pet IV. she took extra care just like her own pet. She walked IV regularly, updated us with text & pics. We couldn’t pick our dog as scheduled and Antonio did not charge anything extra for overstay. We highly recommend her if you would like a home environment for your pet. Thank you so much Antonio for taking care of IV.

Top Dog Boarding related questions

For certain types of tasks, you may need to enquire as to what specialist licenses may be required to undertake your task as this can vary. Please make sure that you confirm that a Tasker has the relevant dog boarding service licence and insurance before accepting an offer.

Dog boarders take care of your pet at a time when you’re unable to - usually when you’re going away on a holiday. They will take care of all your dog’s needs, including pick-up, playtime, and feeding.

Dog boarding usually involves your dog staying at the carer’s home. Dog sitting generally involves the carer staying at your home with your dog.

Getting a dog boarding near you means your dog gets to stay at an environment that’s set up to care for pets. Plus, you don’t need to worry about having someone stay at your home when you’re not there.

Look for a dog boarding professional who has plenty of ratings and reviews - they should be able to demonstrate plenty of experience with looking after dogs. When you meet, make sure they get along with your pet, act responsibly, and above all, love dogs!

You can hire a dog boarder for as long as you need, whether that’s one night for a quick trip or several weeks when you head overseas.

Dog boarding usually costs between $100-$247 when booked through Airtasker, but the exact cost will depend on your type of dog, location, the care required, and how long they’re staying.

What does dog boarding include?

Dog boarding includes everything from picking up your dog when you leave and dropping them back when you return. Dog boarding kennels offer both short and long-term boarding, plus, they’ll include feeding and walking in the cost. They’ll communicate with you directly, asking if your pet has any dietary requirements, illnesses, or special needs (like anxiety). Dog boarders offer a range of services for your pet, including:

Dog pick up and delivery

If you’re going away, chances, are you already have a lot on your plate - so get a dog boarder who’s available to pick up and drop off your pet. Get a dog boarders near you to pick up your furry friend before you leave and return them after you get back. Your dog minder can also pick up any favourite toys or blankets that belong to your pet so they can carry a piece of home with them to their home away from home.

Short-term dog boarding

You can get dog boarding for any period of time - even if you only need a day or two. Dog boarding kennels can cater to a range of time lengths and will make sure your pet is comfortable and relaxed while you take a short trip for business or family. Your dog’s minder will send you updates every day, so you know your pet is happy, safe, and in good hands.

Long-term dog boarding

If you’re going to be away for a long period of time, you want to make sure your pet has somewhere to stay that feels as close to home as possible. Hire a dog boarder near you to take care of your pet for the entire duration of your trip. They’ll ensure your dog feels at home while staying with them, helping them get into a routine, so they feel more relaxed and comfortable.

Dog feeding and grooming

Your dog boarder will care for your pet like their own, including taking care of all their feeding and grooming needs. They’ll make sure your pet is fed nutritious meals, along with any medications they need right on schedule. They can either prepare meals based on your instructions, or you can provide food for your pet if they have a special diet. Your dog boarder will also ensure your pet is kept groomed, with baths and trims as needed.

Walking and playtime

Dog boarding kennels include plenty of playtimes, fun, and regular walks! Many dogs love the social aspect of boarding - they’ll often get to hang out with other furry friends as well. It means your pet isn’t just taken care of physically - they get to have a fun experience for themselves while you’re on holidays.

Monitoring and updates

If you’re worried about how your pet will cope while you’re away, you can rest assured knowing that your dog boarder will keep you updated with how your pet is going. You can request updates at any time via email or SMS, or regular intervals (like every day or every second day). Of course, if you can’t be disturbed on your trip away, your dog boarding provider will only contact you if they need to. For example, if they notice a change in your pet’s eating habits and behaviour or they require a trip to the vet.

Need dog boarding for one week Toy cavoodle very friendly 2 years old She’s a dog house Very loving

Unfortunately, what started well turned into a very bad experience. I happily paid extra for food and additional days, but she became increasingly rude and aggressive, demanding more money and threatening to return my dog. She told me she had been drinking, then began swearing at me and calling me names. Completely unprofessional and unacceptable behaviour. I would not recommend her.

Hi! My sweet girl hecky needs a home to stay in for 8 days whilst I am away. She’s three years old, 30kg and extremely sweet when at home. However she struggles with leash reactivity and barking when stressed. I’m looking for someone who is patient and also familiar with dogs who experience leash anxiety. Other than that she is excellent with people and children, is completely house trained (she’s only ever pooped indoors once in her life, and she was very sick) and is happy to snuggle on the couch. I try to give her a morning 20 min sniff and bathroom break, 1 hour exercise (throwing a ball, a longer hike etc) throughout the day and a toilet break before bed. She also takes pills morning and night to help with her anxiety. More than happy to travel if you don’t live in melbourne and would love someone who has a backyard if possible. Thank you so much for reading!

Dog boarding at sitters house for 5 days

$10

Avondale Heights VIC, Australia

11th Jun 2026

Our budget is 25-30 dollars per night . If all goes well will require further dog boarding for another 10 days in October. Will drop him off and pick him up and supply all that he needs. Requires a larger backyard or able to walk him daily. Bear is a large German Shepard . Happy to be kept outside. Does pull a fair bit on the lead so requires someone strong. Isn’t around other dogs very often and used to being alone. Loves to play on the daily , throwing balls or sticks to him etc . Looks scarier than he really is . Always has been great around my younger nieces and nephews.

Highly Recommend Jorja. She was on time, had a great attitude and can confidently look after your dog!

Hey there, we are looking for a generous person to take in our 2 small dogs, one Pomeranian and one Japanese Spitz, for 5 weeks starting June 9. Both our dogs are energetic and playful. They are super friendly and enjoy outdoors. They are outdoor dogs and love people and going out for walks.
