Pet sitting jobs across New Zealand, paid by the night

Overnight pet sitting on Petme pays NZ$45 to NZ$95 a night, GST inclusive, across the seven New Zealand cities with pet sitting pages. Auckland, Christchurch and Wellington sit at the top of that band. You set your own nightly rate, and sitter cashback takes your share toward 90% of each booking.

Petme runs pet sitting pages in seven New Zealand cities: Auckland, Christchurch, Wellington, Hamilton, Tauranga, Lower Hutt and Dunedin. Owners search by location, so requests reach you from households near the address on your profile.

Every confirmed pet sitting booking on Petme is paid at the rate you set, not swapped for a place to stay. The owner pays through the app when they book, and your payout lands about 2 business days after the stay finishes. You keep up to 90% with sitter cashback.

A full night with the pet in your own home, plus the routine the owner hands over: feeding, fresh water, walks or litter, and any medication they arranged with you beforehand. You send photo updates through the app chat, and the booking covers the nights the owner is away.

Start inside the published local band, NZ$45 to NZ$95 a night depending on which of the seven cities you are in, then move up once you have reviews. You also set a separate rate for additional dogs and cats, so a two-pet booking prices higher than a single-pet one.

Overnight stays sit outside office hours, so pet sitting fits around a job or study. Nothing is rostered and no one assigns you shifts: every request arrives as an offer you are free to turn down.
