How drop-in visits works in Darwin

Darwin's pet-sitting calendar revolves around the wet and dry seasons more than school holidays. Most overnight bookings cluster in the dry (May to October); the wet season skews toward indoor drop-in visits and short walks first thing in the morning.

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 Darwin?
Pet minding in Darwin 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 Darwin 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 Darwin?
A few days is usually enough in Darwin. Sitters here cover a wider radius than in the capitals, so a meet and greet before the first booking saves time later.
Will the same minder come each time?
Yes. You book a specific person in Darwin, not a roster, so the same minder does every visit in the booking and your pet is not meeting someone new each day.
