FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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 Newcastle?
A 30-minute walk in Newcastle costs A$28–A$45. 60-minute walks run A$38–A$60. Solo walks cost more than group walks, and weekend or evening slots may carry a small premium.
Are dog walkers in Newcastle vetted?
Yes. Every walker passes identity and background checks, and every booking includes up to A$32,000 through the Protection Plan at no extra cost.
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.
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.
How far ahead should I book in Newcastle?
A few days is usually enough in Newcastle. Sitters here cover a wider radius than in the capitals, so a meet and greet before the first booking saves time later.
Will my dog be walked alone or in a group?
Both happen in Newcastle. Solo walks suit reactive or elderly dogs, small group walks suit dogs that are social. Each walker states which they do, and you confirm it in chat before booking.
