Adelaide

Booking boarding in a real home in Adelaide

Adelaide owners use Petme heavily for weekday walks and weekend daycare while they head to the Barossa or Fleurieu. The drop-in service is popular because the city skews older and owners often want someone to give the cat company while they spend a Saturday at the wineries.

Mad March (Adelaide Festival, Fringe, WOMADelaide, the 500) is the city's busiest booking month. Plan ahead.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I meet the sitter before I book?
Yes. Set up a free meet and greet through chat before the first booking. You drop off the dog, hand over food and bedding, and confirm everything in person.
What about my dog's diet and meds?
Add diet and medication notes to your booking. Sitters confirm before accepting and stick to the routine you set.
Is there a service fee for owners?
No. Petme charges pet owners 0% service fee. You only pay the sitter's rate, and you earn automatic cashback on every completed booking.
How much does dog boarding cost in Adelaide?
Overnight dog boarding in Adelaide costs A$55–A$90 per night. Rates vary by suburb, dog size, and length of stay. Multi-night stays often come with a discount.
Where does my dog stay?
At the sitter's home. Every Petme boarding sitter hosts a small number of dogs at a time, so your dog gets attention and couch time, not a kennel run.
Are boarding sitters in Adelaide vetted?
Yes. Every sitter passes identity and background checks. The Protection Plan can contribute up to A$32,000 toward eligible vet costs.
How far ahead should I book in Adelaide?
In Adelaide you can usually find someone within a day or two, and there are normally several sitters close by to compare. School holidays and the Christmas to January stretch book out earliest, so lock those in further ahead.
What should I send with my dog?
Their own food, their bed or a blanket that smells like home, a lead, and any medication with written timings. Adelaide sitters will ask for your vet details too. Keeping the food identical matters more than most owners expect.
Can I book a sitter in the Adelaide Hills?
Yes, when a sitter's service area covers your suburb. Each Adelaide sitter on Petme sets the area they travel to or host from, and their profile shows it. Search from your own suburb in the app to see who covers it before you message anyone.
