About house sitting in Sydney

Sydney has the biggest pet-owning population in the country, and pet sitting bookings here cluster around the Eastern Suburbs, Inner West, and North Shore where most owners work long hours and need someone to drop in or walk the dog midday.

Summer is peak season. Owners book months ahead for the Christmas–New Year break, and again over the Easter long weekend. Working from home Wednesdays drive the second-biggest cluster of recurring weekday bookings, mostly walks and drop-ins.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does a house sitter cost in Sydney?
Overnight house sitting in Sydney 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 sitter live in my home full-time?
Yes. Your sitter sleeps at your place, follows your pet's normal routine, and short outings are agreed 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 house sitters in Sydney vetted?
Yes. Every sitter passes identity and background checks. Each booking includes up to A$30,000 in vet cover at no extra cost.
Is there a service fee for owners?
No. Petme charges pet owners 0% service fee. You only pay the sitter's rate, and you earn automatic cashback on every completed stay.
