About drop-in visits in Adelaide

Adelaide owners use Petme heavily for weekday walks and weekend daycare while they head to the Barossa or Fleurieu. The drop-in service is popular because the city skews older and owners often want someone to give the cat company while they spend a Saturday at the wineries.

Mad March (Adelaide Festival, Fringe, WOMADelaide, the 500) is the city's busiest booking month. Plan ahead.

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 pet minding cost in Adelaide?
Pet minding in Adelaide costs A$30–A$45 for a 30-minute drop-in visit. Longer 60-minute visits run A$38–A$57. Same-day and late-evening visits may carry a small premium.
What does a pet minder do during a visit?
Feed, fresh water, a short walk or play time, litter or toilet break, a quick health check, and a photo update before they lock up. You set the routine in your booking request and the minder follows it.
How does the sitter get into my place?
You arrange key handover or a lockbox at the meet and greet. Plenty of owners use smart locks; the sitter confirms before every visit.
Can I book two visits a day?
Yes. Two visits a day, morning and arvo, is the most common booking for cat minding and for indoor dogs while owners are away. Set both times in your booking request.
Are pet minders in Adelaide vetted?
Yes. Every pet minder passes identity and background checks, 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 Adelaide?
In Adelaide 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 if my pet needs medication?
Many Adelaide minders give tablets, drops or insulin. Flag it in the booking request with the dose and timing, and the minder confirms they can do it before accepting.
Can I book a sitter in the Adelaide Hills?
Yes, when a sitter's service area covers your suburb. Each Adelaide sitter on Petme sets the area they travel to or host from, and their profile shows it. Search from your own suburb in the app to see who covers it before you message anyone.
