About overnight care at your place in Brisbane

Brisbane has the longest dog-walking season in the country. Outside of January–February heat waves and the worst of the wet, walks happen year-round. Owners on the peninsula and around the river bends use Petme drop-in visits while at work.

Queensland school holidays match the rest of the country in summer, but the late-September break (footy finals season) is a smaller demand spike that catches first-time owners out. Lock in a sitter early.

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 Brisbane vetted?
Yes. Every pet minder passes identity and background checks before they can take an overnight booking. 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 stay.
How much does a house sitter cost in Brisbane?
Overnight house sitting in Brisbane 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 Brisbane?
In Brisbane 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 is the difference between house sitting and boarding?
House sitting happens at your home in Brisbane and boarding happens at the sitter's. Choose house sitting when the pet copes badly with a new environment, or when you also want the house lived in.
