About dog minding and daycare in Canberra

Canberra owners book Petme around the parliamentary sitting calendar more than around the school calendar. Recurring weekday walks for office-based public servants are a steady chunk of bookings, and house-sits spike when MPs and staffers travel between Canberra and home electorates.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does dog minding cost in Canberra?
Dog minding in Canberra runs A$50–A$75 for a full day at the minder's home. Half-day rates run A$33–A$53. 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 Canberra 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.
