FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does dog minding cost in Ballarat?
Dog minding in Ballarat runs A$35–A$55 for a full day at the minder's home. Half-day rates run A$23–A$39. Recurring weekday bookings often come with a discount.
What does a day of dog minding look like?
Drop-off in the morning, a walk, supervised play with the minder's family and any compatible dogs, lunch, a nap, an arvo walk, then pickup. You get a photo update at lunchtime so you can see how the day is going.
Is this a kennel?
No. Every Petme daycare is a real home. Minders host a small number of dogs at a time, so your dog gets attention and couch time, not a kennel run.
Can I drop off the same dog every weekday?
Yes. Recurring weekday daycare is one of the most common Petme bookings. Lock in a minder you trust and book a weekly schedule.
Are dog minders in Ballarat vetted?
Yes. Every dog minder passes identity and background checks before they can take a booking, and reviews come from real Aussie owners. Each booking includes up to A$32,000 through the Protection Plan at no extra cost.
Is there a service fee for owners?
No. Petme charges pet owners 0% service fee. You only pay the minder's rate, and you earn automatic cashback on every completed booking.
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.
What are the drop-off and pick-up times?
Hosts in Ballarat set their own windows and list them on their profile, usually built around ordinary working hours. Confirm the exact times in chat, and flag it early if your day runs long.
