FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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 Geelong vetted?
Yes. Every dog minder passes identity and background checks before they can take a booking, and reviews come from real Aussie owners. The Protection Plan can contribute up to A$32,000 toward eligible vet costs.
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 much does dog minding cost in Geelong?
Dog minding in Geelong 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.
How far ahead should I book in Geelong?
A few days is usually enough in Geelong. Sitters here cover a wider radius than in the capitals, so a meet and greet before the first booking saves time later.
What are the drop-off and pick-up times?
Hosts in Geelong 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.
