How dog walking with photo updates works 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

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 Sydney?
A 30-minute walk in Sydney 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 Sydney 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.
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 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 happens if it is too hot to walk?
Walkers in Sydney shift the time rather than push through it, usually to early morning or after sunset. Footpath temperature is the limit, not air temperature, and they will message you if a walk needs moving.
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.
