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 Townsville 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 Townsville?
Overnight house sitting in Townsville 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 Townsville?
Availability outside the capitals is thinner, so give yourself about a week in Townsville and arrange a meet and greet before the first booking. Holiday periods fill up first.
Can I book for a couple of weeks?
Yes. Longer trips are common in Townsville, especially over the Christmas and January stretch. Book those early, because the sitters with good reviews fill those dates first.
