About doggy daycare in Melbourne

Melbourne pet owners book differently to the rest of the country. More walks, more doggy daycare, fewer overnight stays, and a heavy bias toward inner-north suburbs where apartment living is the norm and most owners need a weekday walker.

AFL grand final week, the Spring Carnival, and Christmas are the three demand spikes. Sitters in Brunswick, Northcote, and Fitzroy fill up first; book at least six weeks ahead for the December–January peak.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does doggy daycare cost in Melbourne?

A full daycare day in Melbourne costs A$50–A$75. Half-day rates run A$33–A$53. Discounts often apply for recurring weekday bookings.

What does a daycare day look like?

Drop-off in the morning, a walk, supervised play with the sitter's family and any compatible dogs, lunch, a nap, an arvo walk, then pickup. You get a midday photo update.

Is this a kennel?

No. Every Petme daycare is a real home. Sitters host a small number of dogs at a time, so your dog gets attention, 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 sitter you trust and book a weekly schedule.

Yes. Every sitter passes identity and background checks. Each booking includes up to A$30,000 in vet cover at no extra cost.

Is there a service fee for owners?
