Booking overnight dog stays in Sydney

Sydney has the biggest pet-owning population in the country, and pet sitting bookings here cluster around the Eastern Suburbs, Inner West, and North Shore where most owners work long hours and need someone to drop in or walk the dog midday.

Summer is peak season. Owners book months ahead for the Christmas–New Year break, and again over the Easter long weekend. Working from home Wednesdays drive the second-biggest cluster of recurring weekday bookings, mostly walks and drop-ins.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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 Sydney?
Overnight dog boarding in Sydney 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 Sydney 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.
How far ahead should I book in Sydney?
In Sydney 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. Sydney 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 Eastern Suburbs, Northern Beaches, North Shore, Inner West and Western Sydney?
Yes, when a sitter's service area covers your suburb. Each Sydney 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.
