FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does dog boarding cost in Townsville?
Overnight dog boarding in Townsville 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 Townsville vetted?
Yes. Every sitter passes identity and background checks. Each booking includes up to A$32,000 through the Protection Plan at no extra cost.
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 far ahead should I book in Townsville?
Availability outside the capitals is thinner, so give yourself about a week in Townsville and arrange a meet and greet before the first booking. Holiday periods fill up first.
Is this someone home or a kennel?
A home. Boarding on Petme in Townsville means your dog stays in the sitter's own house with a small number of dogs, sleeps inside, and keeps something close to a normal household routine. There are no runs and no concrete.
