Award-Winning Dog Walking & Cat Care | Pet Stays Melbourne
A New Chapter for Pet Stays Melbourne:
For over a decade, Pet Stays Melbourne has been a trusted name in local pet care. From first-time pet parents to long-standing families who relied on us year after year, our work has always been guided by one belief: pets deserve care that feels safe, calm, and genuinely personal.
After more than ten years of offering in-home dog boarding, we’re entering a new and purposeful chapter. While we no longer provide in-home boarding, we are now expanding our professional dog walking and in-home cat feeding services across Melbourne, allowing us to support more pets while maintaining the quality, consistency, and trust we’re known for.
This shift isn’t about doing less — it’s about doing what we do best, even better.
Why We’ve Shifted Our Services
Over the years, we’ve seen a clear change in what pets and their humans need most.
Many dogs benefit more from regular, structured walks than overnight stays. Many cats thrive best when they can remain in their own homes, cared for quietly and consistently. Families want reliable, daytime pet care delivered by someone they know and trust — not revolving carers or rushed services.
By focusing exclusively on dog walking services and cat feeding visits, we’re able to:
-
Offer more availability across local neighbourhoods
-
Maintain consistent routines for pets
-
Provide calm, one-on-one attention
-
Support pets without disrupting their home environment
This focused approach allows us to deliver higher-quality care while staying true to the values that built Pet Stays Melbourne.

While awards are deeply appreciated, the trust of our community — reflected in consistent 5-star reviews and long-term client relationships — remains our greatest measure of success.
Professional Dog Walking Services You Can Trust
Our dog walking services in Melbourne are designed around real dogs with real personalities — not rigid schedules or one-size-fits-all routines.
Each walk is tailored to your dog’s:
-
Age and energy level
-
Temperament and confidence
-
Physical needs and pace
Our approach focuses on more than exercise alone. Regular dog walking supports better behaviour at home, healthy weight management, reduced anxiety, and overall well being.
As an award-winning local dog walking service, we prioritise safety, calm leadership, and genuine connection. Your dog isn’t just walked — they’re understood.
Gentle, In-Home Cat Feeding & Cat Care Services
Cats value familiarity, routine, and calm surroundings — which is why in-home cat feeding and cat care services are often the most stress-free option.
Our cat feeding visits include:
-
Fresh food and water replenishment
-
Litter tray checks
-
Visual health and wellbeing monitoring
-
Gentle interaction, always on the cat’s terms
We take a quiet, respectful approach that allows cats to remain comfortable in their own environment while you’re away. This level of care has earned us the trust of cat owners across Melbourne who value reliability and peace of mind.

Pet Stays Melbourne is proud to be a trusted, award-winning, 5-star rated local pet care provider, backed by more than a decade of hands-on experience.
We understand that trusting someone with your home and your pet is a big decision. That’s why we operate with transparency, consistency, and a genuine sense of responsibility — every walk, every visit, every time.
