FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does dog boarding cost in Nelson?
Overnight dog boarding in Nelson costs NZ$35-NZ$70 per night (GST inclusive). Rates vary by suburb, dog size, and length of stay. Multi-night stays often come with a discount.
Where does my dog stay?
At the sitter's home. Every Petme boarding sitter hosts a small number of dogs at a time, so your dog gets attention and couch time, not a kennel run.
Are boarding sitters in Nelson vetted?
Yes. Every sitter passes identity and background checks. The Protection Plan can contribute up to NZ$39,000+ toward eligible vet costs.
Can I meet the sitter before I book?
Yes. Set up a free meet and greet through chat before the first booking. You drop off the dog, hand over food and bedding, and confirm everything in person.
What about my dog's diet and meds?
Add diet and medication notes to your booking. Sitters confirm before accepting and stick to the routine you set.
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 booking.
