FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I book recurring walks?
Yes. Recurring weekday lunchtime walks are the most common Petme booking. Owners who need all-day dog minding often pair the walks with a daycare day at the same sitter's place.
Is there a service fee for owners?
No. Petme charges pet owners 0% service fee. You only pay the walker's rate, and you earn automatic cashback on every completed walk.
How much does a dog walker cost in Ballarat?
A 30-minute walk in Ballarat costs A$22–A$35. 60-minute walks run A$32–A$50. Solo walks cost more than group walks, and weekend or evening slots may carry a small premium.
Are dog walkers in Ballarat vetted?
Yes. Every walker passes identity and background checks, and the Protection Plan can contribute up to A$32,000 toward eligible vet costs.
Will I get photos after the walk?
Yes. After every walk the walker sends photos and a short note on how your dog went. The note mentions toilet breaks too.
What if my dog is reactive?
Pick a walker offering solo walks. Mention reactivity, lead habits, and any triggers in your booking request. Walkers confirm before they accept.
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.
How long is a standard walk?
Most walkers in Ballarat offer 30 or 60 minutes and say which on their profile. Agree the length in chat before the first booking so the rate and the route match what your dog is used to.
