Booking overnight care at your place 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

Can the sitter water plants and collect mail?
Yes. Add any household tasks to your booking notes. House sitters typically water plants, collect post, and rotate lights so the home looks lived-in.
Are pet minders in Adelaide vetted?
Yes. Every pet minder passes identity and background checks before they can take an overnight booking. The Protection Plan can contribute up to A$32,000 toward eligible vet costs.
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 stay.
How much does a house sitter cost in Adelaide?
Overnight house sitting in Adelaide runs A$60–A$105 per night, depending on the number of pets, the length of the stay, and any plant or mail tasks.
Does the pet minder stay in my home the whole time?
Yes. Your minder sleeps at your place, follows your pet's normal routine, and agrees any short outings with you in advance. Most house-sits include feeding, walks, play, and a daily update.
What if my place has a smart lock or alarm?
Walk the sitter through it at the meet and greet. Plenty of Aussie owners use smart locks and basic keypad alarms; sitters keep codes confidential.
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.
Can I book for a couple of weeks?
Yes. Longer trips are common in Adelaide, especially over the Christmas and January stretch. Book those early, because the sitters with good reviews fill those dates first.
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.
