Booking daytime dog minding 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

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 Sydney 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 much does dog minding cost in Sydney?
Dog minding in Sydney 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.
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 are the drop-off and pick-up times?
Hosts in Sydney 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.
