FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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 Ballarat?
Overnight dog boarding in Ballarat costs A$40–A$65 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 Ballarat vetted?
Yes. Every sitter passes identity and background checks. The Protection Plan can contribute up to A$32,000 toward eligible vet costs.
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.
How far ahead should I book in Ballarat?
Availability outside the capitals is thinner, so give yourself about a week in Ballarat and arrange a meet and greet before the first booking. Holiday periods fill up first.
What if my dog has never stayed away before?
Do a meet and greet first, then a single trial night before the real trip. It is the standard way Ballarat owners handle a first boarding, and it tells you more than any profile can about whether the dog settles with that sitter.
