Gold Coast

A sitter who stays over in Gold Coast, explained

The Gold Coast runs on tourism, which means a lot of pet owners here travel for work as much as they travel for holidays. Recurring drop-in visits and house-sits dominate; full daycare is less common because most owners have backyards.

Schoolies, Commonwealth Games weekends, and Magic Millions Race Week are local demand spikes you don't see anywhere else.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

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 Gold Coast 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 Gold Coast?
Overnight house sitting in Gold Coast 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.
How far ahead should I book in Gold Coast?
In Gold Coast 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.
Will the sitter be there all day?
Not usually. Gold Coast 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.
