Perth

Overnight care at your place in Perth, explained

Perth is a beach-and-park city, and most dog bookings include at least one off-leash beach walk. Sitters around Cottesloe, Scarborough, and Fremantle book out fastest because owners explicitly look for "walks with beach access" in chat.

WA school holidays are slightly out of step with the eastern states, which makes Perth sitters good options for east-coast owners doing cross-country travel. Mining roster work also drives steady weekday daycare and house-sitting bookings outside school holidays.

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 Perth 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 Perth?
Overnight house sitting in Perth 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 Perth?
In Perth 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.
Does the sitter stay overnight?
Yes. House sitting in Perth means the sitter stays at your place for the nights you book, so your pets keep their own bed, their own routine and their own yard while you are away.
Can I book a sitter in the Northern suburbs and Perth Hills?
Yes, when a sitter's service area covers your suburb. Each Perth 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.
