FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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.
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 Geelong 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 Geelong?
Overnight house sitting in Geelong runs A$60–A$105 per night, depending on the number of pets, the length of the stay, and any plant or mail tasks.
How far ahead should I book in Geelong?
A few days is usually enough in Geelong. Sitters here cover a wider radius than in the capitals, so a meet and greet before the first booking saves time later.
Will the sitter be there all day?
Not usually. Geelong house sitters commit to the nights and to agreed daytime cover, not to staying in the house around the clock. Agree the hours in chat so the expectation is set before you book.
