FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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 Townsville?
Dog minding in Townsville 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 Townsville 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.
How far ahead should I book in Townsville?
Availability outside the capitals is thinner, so give yourself about a week in Townsville and arrange a meet and greet before the first booking. Holiday periods fill up first.
How many dogs will be there?
Home daycare in Townsville usually means a handful of dogs, not a room of them. Each host states the number they take, and you can ask about the other dogs before you confirm.
