Home Based Dog Boarding is Better for Your Dog

Dogs love routine and comfort. That’s why home-based pet sitting is becoming more popular than traditional dog kennels. A sitter’s home feels familiar, quiet, and calm—just like your home.

This helps dogs stay happy and mentally well, matching the Five Domains of Animal Welfare, especially the mental wellbeing aspect. Some big, noisy kennels just can’t offer the same level of personalised care, hygiene, or one-on-one attention.

When planning a trip or needing temporary care for your furry friend, finding the best dog kennelling services in Sydney is crucial. Whether you have a small breed or a large dog, ensuring their comfort and safety is a top priority.

1. What are the best dog kennelling services in Sydney?

Sydney offers a range of dog kennelling services, from traditional kennels to pet resorts. However, many owners are now opting for home-based pet boarding through PetCloud, where dogs stay in a comfortable, homely environment rather than a kennel. You can actually post a job for free.

2. How much do dog kennelling services in Sydney cost?

The cost varies depending on the type of kennelling. Traditional kennels charge anywhere from $40 to $100 per night. Home-based pet boarding with PetCloud is often more affordable, with verified sitters providing personalized care at competitive rates.

3. Where can I board my dog for a week in Sydney?

You can choose from traditional dog kennelling services in Sydney, pet resorts, or home-based pet boarding through PetCloud. The latter ensures your dog stays in a welcoming, stress-free environment with a dedicated sitter. Post a job for free here on PetCloud. Just make sure you set your address in your Profile to be Sydney, NSW.

4. What is the best dog kennelling service for big dogs in Sydney?

5. Are there dog kennelling services near Sydney Airport?

Yes, several dog kennelling services in Sydney operate near Sydney Airport. However, for a more stress-free, personalized experience, consider booking a PetCloud sitter who can care for your pet at their home while you travel.

6. Can I visit the dog kennel before booking?

Most dog kennelling services allow pre-visits. With PetCloud, you can meet the pet sitter before booking to ensure they are the right fit for your dog.

7. What should I pack for my dog when using dog kennelling services in Sydney?

Whether using a kennel or a home-based sitter, pack essentials like your dog’s food, medication, bed, leash, and favorite toys to provide comfort and familiarity.

8. Do dog kennelling services provide 24/7 supervision?

Not all dog kennelling services in Sydney offer round-the-clock care. PetCloud sitters provide dedicated, home-based care, ensuring your pet is always supervised and attended to. You stay connected with your chosen Sitter via the PetCloud App or website and receive daily photo updates.

9. Are there dog kennelling services for anxious or senior dogs in Sydney?

Yes! Traditional dog kennelling services can be overwhelming for anxious or senior dogs. PetCloud’s home-based sitters cater to pets needing extra care, providing a calmer, less stressful environment.

Bringing home a new puppy is exciting, but it also comes with questions—especially about socialisation. You may have heard that the best time to socialise your puppy is between 3 to 16 weeks old, but your vet may have warned you not to take your puppy outside before they have all their vaccinations. So, how do you safely socialise your puppy during this important time without exposing them to illness?

In this guide, we’ll share simple ways to socialise your puppy before they are fully vaccinated and answer common questions that new puppy owners ask Google.


Why Is Early Socialisation So Important?

This is the time when puppies are most open to learning about the world. If they have good experiences with people, sounds, places, and other animals, they will grow up to be confident and friendly dogs.

If they don’t get this exposure, they might become scared, nervous, or aggressive when they encounter new things as adults.


How Can I Socialise My Puppy Before They Are Fully Vaccinated?

Even though you should avoid places where unvaccinated dogs have been (like dog parks and public footpaths), you can still help your puppy explore the world safely. Here’s how:

1. Enrol them in a Program of Puppy Socialisation

Two playful puppies with floppy ears and light brown fur frolic on the green grass, showcasing how to socialize a puppy before vaccinations. Their collars jingle as their eyes and mouths express excitement, leaping joyfully in their enclosed play area.

PetCloud makes it easy to book puppy training and socialisation classes with pet professionals. Simply create a free pet profile and post a job to find available puppy socialisation services near you.

Only puppies with at least their first vaccination can attend. Older unvaccinated dogs are not present.

2. Carry Them in Public Places

A person with short dark hair cradles a small black and brown puppy, who gazes curiously to the side. In the lush green outdoor area, it's an ideal moment for learning how to socialize a puppy before vaccinations are complete.

Your puppy can still see and hear new things while being carried. Take them to:

  • Outdoor cafes
  • Busy streets
  • School pick-up zones
  • Shopping centres (where dogs are allowed)
  • Farmer’s markets

This helps them get used to people, cars, bikes, and other dogs in a safe way.

3. Invite Visitors Over

A person with a straw hat and striped shirt smiles while holding two small brown puppies, showing the joy of early socialization. They sit against a woven straw background, embodying the gentle art of introducing puppies to the world before vaccinations.

Have friends and family visit your home so your puppy meets different types of people. Ask visitors to wear hats, sunglasses, or carry bags so your puppy gets used to different looks.

4. Arrange Safe Playdates

Two small, fluffy dogs playfully tug on an orange toy in their mouths, showcasing how to socialize a puppy before vaccinations. They joyfully run across a grassy area; one is white and the other brown. The background softly blurs into greenery.

If you know friendly, fully vaccinated dogs, invite them over for a playdate in a safe space like your backyard.

You can also book puppy socialisation sessions with trusted dog sitters and trainers on PetCloud. Create a free pet profile on PetCloud to find puppy socialisation, doggy daycare, and obedience training services in a safe environment.

5. Get Them Used to Sounds and Surfaces

A dark-coated dog sits on a white surface, facing a wall where a framed photo of red fireworks exploding in the night sky is displayed. A modern lamp with a tripod stand is on the surface to the left of the photo—an ideal setting for learning how to socialise a puppy before vaccinations.

Play recorded sounds of fireworks, thunder, and sirens at a low volume, increasing it gradually over time. Let them walk on different textures like grass, carpet, tiles, and concrete at home.

6. Use a Puppy Stroller or Wagon

If carrying your puppy is tiring, a stroller or wagon is a great way to take them outside while keeping them safe from germs.

7. Take Car Rides

A black and white dog sits happily in a pet seat on the car's backseat, its mouth open in joy. The interior features dark upholstery and a window with blurred scenery outside—the perfect setting for learning how to socialize a puppy before vaccinations.

Going for short car rides helps your puppy get used to new places and smells while staying safe inside the car.

8. Practice Gentle Handling

A white and black French Bulldog with large ears is laying down, looking slightly grumpy as it gets a gentle nose boop. The soft lighting creates a warm, cozy atmosphere—ideal for learning how to socialize a puppy even before vaccinations.

Touch your puppy’s paws, ears, and mouth often so they get used to being handled. This will make vet visits and grooming much easier in the future.


Top Questions Pet Owners Ask Google About Puppy Socialisation

Can I Take My Puppy Outside Before Vaccinations?

Yes, but you should carry them or use a stroller to keep them off the ground in areas where unvaccinated dogs may have been.

What Happens If I Don’t Socialise My Puppy Early?

If your puppy doesn’t experience new things early, they may become fearful or aggressive as adults. Early socialisation helps them feel confident and happy in different situations.

Can My Puppy Meet Other Dogs Before Vaccination?

Yes, but only with fully vaccinated, healthy, and friendly dogs in a private and safe space, like your home or backyard. You can also book safe puppy playdates with trusted professionals on PetCloud.

How Can I Socialise My Puppy Indoors?

You can introduce them to new people, objects (like umbrellas and vacuum cleaners), and recorded sounds while they stay inside.

Is Puppy Socialisation More Important Than Avoiding Disease?

Both are important, but you can balance them by using safe socialisation methods to help your puppy grow confident while keeping them healthy.


Final Thoughts

You can socialise your puppy before they are fully vaccinated—you just need to be careful. By introducing them to new experiences in a safe way, you are helping them grow into a friendly and confident dog.

PetCloud makes socialisation easy! You can book puppy socialisation, doggy daycare, and dog training with trusted professionals. Create a free pet profile today to give your puppy the best start in life!
