Dog Boarding in Perth

“Lainey had the best time with Jacinta and her family. I would recommend this family 100%. Lainey is a high energy dog and she was well taken care of. We will be having this family again for our future trips. The rover app is a great service if looking for a sitter for you fur baby. Thank you”

About: Hi, I’m Shannon. I provide a calm, clean, and structured home environment where your dog will feel safe, relaxed, and genuinely cared for in a countryside environment. As a healthcare professional and experienced dog sport handler, I naturally pay close attention to detail, routines, and subtle changes in behaviour, ensuring your pet’s well-being is always a top priority. I keep my bookings small so each dog receives personalized care, consistent routines, and meaningful one-on-one attention. My home is best suited for dogs who thrive in a quieter environment, including seniors or those who may feel overwhelmed in busy kennel settings. I also have experience accommodating puppies and high-energy dogs in various stages of training. I work from home, which allows me to provide a consistent, supervised routine where your dog receives plenty of structure, attention, and meaningful interaction throughout the day. My child is very dog savvy and trains dogs as junior handler on our flyball club. I attend dog training classes with my own dogs. When appropriate and with your approval, your dog is welcome to join for a safe and enriching outing, including a secured car ride and a supervised “sniff safari” or work recalls at the training facility. During the summer months, I also participate in dog sport tournaments, which may involve travel and on-site camping 4–6 hours away. For clients who are comfortable, dogs are welcome to join these structured adventure experiences. Participation is always optional and discussed in advance to ensure it’s the right fit for your dog. I offer a dedicated dog space equipped with crates, comfortable bedding, fresh water, and access to a secure dog run, along with a large, fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time. We also have the executive suite, which is a play pen for boarding dogs and especially for puppies and seniors. I have extensive experience with senior dogs and those with special needs, including administering medications, supplements, dietary needs kibble and raw feeding, caring for deaf or blind animals. With over 12 years in competitive dog sports, I am also skilled in handling puppies, high-energy dogs, reactivity (such as barking or anxiety), and resource guarding. Please note: while I am experienced with behavioural challenges, I do not accept dogs with a history of aggression or biting. This is to ensure the safety of all dogs in my care, as well as my young child at home. For safety, all boarding dogs must be crate trained and comfortable with overnight crating. This helps maintain a calm and structured environment. During the day, dogs are welcome on furniture and can enjoy a relaxed, home-like setting. You can expect regular updates, photos and videos, a clean and safe space, and the peace of mind that your dog is being cared for like family.

“Nicole and Eddie provide excellent care for our dog Daisy. We are always confident that Daisy will have a great time with them and their dog Keyser. She comes home one happy and tired pup from all the playtime, activities & walks. Eddie & Nicole are also very flexible if we have to modify the booking due to unforeseen circumstances.”

“I had never boarded our 8 year old chocolate lab before so I was nervous to leave him. Kim made us feel comfortable with plenty of pictures and updates throughout the week. They dogs got along great, enjoyed the whole house and she even let him sleep on the bed. I can’t say enough great things about this experience. She noticed his ears were bothering him and took the time to clean them (which he doesn’t normally let anyone do but me). Thank you Kim! ❤️”

“Shelley and her family take very good care of Bandit, he loves his time with them, and it has come to feel as though their home is Bandit's "home away from home". What more can one say? Thank you all so very much.”

“This is Tink's second stay with Lynda. Tink was happy to see some old friends and make a new one. Lynda sent texts, pics and videos daily where we saw Tink's interactions with Lynda, her dogs and family. We will definitely use Lynda's services again when next we have to leave town. We highly recommend Lynda and trust her to take excellent care of Tink in our absence.”

“I honestly don’t even know where to start with how incredible this experience was. I found this dog sitter last minute on Rover, and from the very first message, they went above and beyond in every possible way. I have two very high-energy dogs, and leaving them is never something I take lightly—but she, her husband, and their kids made me feel completely at ease. Not only were they unbelievably accommodating and flexible, but they were also so genuinely kind, warm, and generous. They treated my dogs like part of their family. It wasn’t just “watching” them—they were loved, played with, and cared for in a way that honestly exceeded anything I could have hoped for. Her kids adored my dogs, and it showed in every update and every interaction. What truly stood out was how much they went out of their way to help me. They kept my dogs longer than expected without charging anything extra, just out of kindness. That level of generosity is rare, and it meant so much to me. If you’re looking for someone you can fully trust with your pets—someone who will treat them like their own—I cannot recommend Justin, Kristen and her family enough. I am beyond grateful to have found them. Thank you again for everything—you are truly amazing. ❤️”

“Laura is the best. I left my reactive German Shepherd with her for two weeks, unsure if i might get a call to pick her up early. Laura eased my mind with pictures and daily updates. Stress on my end was relieved and I would highly recommend Laura for your boarding needs.”

Mike T.

“Ashley was absolutely amazing from meet and greet all the way to pickup! Maple had an amazing time and would definitely recommend to anyone! Ashley sends lots of pictures, videos and updates throughout the stay which was truly a treat!”

Chris G.

“Thank you so much! Everything went really well, great communication throughout, and your feedback about his nighttime anxiety was very helpful. It definitely gave me something to think about for our next trip.”

“Kavya took care of Bailey while we were away. Bailey made herself at home and was treated like family! I received news and photos every few days, it was perfect! Thanks!”

“Jenna is amazing! She was very accommodating and kept us updated with lots of pics on how Panda was doing during his stay. We highly trust and recommend Jenna as a host for the fur babies. We also really appreciate Jenna took our last-minute booking and always responded timely. Will definitely rebook with Jenna and recommend her to anyone.❤️”

“Jessica was amazing with my dog Keisha! She was super friendly, quick to respond, and kept me updated with lots of photos. Keisha went on long walks, had plenty of ball-throwing playtime, and even enjoyed some pool time—it felt like her own little vacation! Jessica truly treated her like family, and I came home to a very happy and relaxed dog. I’ll definitely book with her again—highly recommend!”

“We are thrilled to have a go-to Rover near beautiful Merrickville, where we sometimes spend the weekend. Now, we're able to send our dog to have a blast with Kayla and her dog while we roam the shops, cafes, and restaurants. Kayla was prompt, professional, and friendly in her communication and service, and she took great care of our dog. He was smiling extra big in all of the photos she sent us throughout the day. We will be reaching out to here again in future, and recommend her to others.”

Janina H.

“It’s quite difficult for me and I believe many others, to leave a much loved dog in the care of anyone I do not know very well. Michaela’s calm approach seemed to immediately let my puppy relax and happily go with her. Seeing my Cali relax was definitely reassuring. Michaela also sent me a photo of Cali probably 30 minutes after I left, further convincing me that I had made a good decision in my choice of sitter! All around a very positive experience. I wouldn’t hesitate to choose Michaela again, to take care of Cali.”

“Alaina is super accommodating and took our pupper on short notice. She kept us updated about how things were going, lots of photos etc. Our dog came home happy, healthy, and totally worn out. We hiiiiighly recommend Alaina!”

“Tom was an excellent host for our young energetic country lab. He replied quickly and answered all our questions. Tom’s easy going and kind nature but us totally at ease. He sent us pictures and updates which was wonderful. Our boy was obviously being treated well. Tom’s beautiful property is a dogs dream. He has a large fenced area which is attached to the house that has both sunny and shaded areas. He also has many acres of trails on his property and took our boy out for longs walks. Lucky dog. Tom has one dog living with him who has the same temperament as him. Easy going and welcoming. It was our first time working with Tom but definitely won’t be our last. Thank you Tom.”
