FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does pet minding cost in Townsville?
Pet minding in Townsville costs A$22–A$35 for a 30-minute drop-in visit. Longer 60-minute visits run A$30–A$47. 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 Townsville 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 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.
What if my pet needs medication?
Many Townsville 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.
