What to expect from minders in your neighbourhood 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

Are pet minders in Sydney vetted?
Yes. Every pet minder passes identity and background checks, 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 pet minding cost in Sydney?
Pet minding in Sydney 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.
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 if my pet needs medication?
Many Sydney 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.
