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 Launceston 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 Launceston?
Overnight house sitting in Launceston runs A$45–A$75 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 Launceston?
Availability outside the capitals is thinner, so give yourself about a week in Launceston and arrange a meet and greet before the first booking. Holiday periods fill up first.
What is the difference between house sitting and boarding?
House sitting happens at your home in Launceston 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.
