Professional Care
Year-Round Comfort
Ditch the cold dog kennels. At Pet Stays, your dog joins our family in a warm, welcoming home located in Ascot Vale—just 20 minutes from Melbourne Airport, and 15 to 20 minutes to the CBD, close to major freeway exits for easy drop-off and pick-up.
Every dog sleeps indoors on cosy bedding, enjoying both heating in winter and air conditioning in summer for complete comfort no matter the season. Whether your pup loves a snuggle or prefers their own space, we make sure they rest safe and sound.
We’re not students or casual weekend Pet Sitters trying to make extra cash—Pet Stays is our full-time career and our calling. With more than a decade of experience and full insurance, we live and breathe dogs—providing genuine, loving care with 24/7 supervision. Dogs are never left alone, so you can feel confident they’re always safe.
We keep numbers low to offer individual attention and a calm environment. Whether your dog is full of energy and loves to play or prefers gentle strolls and quiet cuddles, we match activities and companions to each personality—including special care for seniors or dogs needing medication.
Heading away for a short weekend, or planning an overseas holiday for weeks or even months? We offer extended stays and have proudly cared for dogs here for periods as long as 9 months, providing them a loving, stable home away from home.
We’re truly trustworthy—just check out our Google Reviews, with over 100 five-star ratings from happy dog parents who trust us with their beloved companions.

Dog Boarding in Melbourne
Forget cold kennels or stressful boarding facilities. At Pet Stays, your dog becomes part of our family. With plenty of indoor and outdoor space to roam, play, and relax, our guests enjoy a stress-free stay filled with tail wags, social playtime, and cosy naps. Even the most anxious dogs settle in well to our environment.
We limit the number of dogs we host to ensure individual attention, supervised socialisation and a calm, controlled environment. Whether your pup loves to mingle or prefers one-on-one care, we tailor your dog’s stay to match their personality and needs.
At Pet Stays, we understand that every dog is unique, with their own personality, energy level, and social style. That’s why we carefully match playmates and activities to suit each dog’s individual needs. Whether your dog is a high-energy social butterfly that loves to romp and play with others, or a more reserved soul who prefers peaceful one-on-one walks or gentle cuddle time, we tailor their experience to make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and secure.
Our experienced pet carers observe each dog’s temperament, play style, and preferences from the moment they arrive. We group dogs with compatible energy levels and social behaviours to encourage positive interactions and reduce stress. Activities range from lively group play sessions and interactive games to calming pats, snuggles and relaxing strolls. This thoughtful matching not only helps dogs thrive physically but also supports their emotional wellbeing, ensuring every pup has a rewarding and enjoyable stay.
