A local edge

Local know-how pays off in Perth

Perth has a wet maritime climate with rain spread across the year, frosty spells in winter, and short winter days that leave a narrow window of daylight. Walkers who carry a raincoat and a towel, plan sheltered routes on the wettest days, and hold their slots through the drizzle keep the regulars that fair-weather walkers lose.

When owners travel

Demand peaks over the summer holidays and across Christmas and New Year, with a second wave on the February, May and October half-terms and the bank-holiday weekends. Boarding and house sitting lead when owners travel; walking, daycare and drop-in visits carry the commuting week.

Know your Perth areas

Most bookings cluster Craigie to Tulloch. Owners look for sitters who know the area and can reach them without a long trip.

Breeds you will meet in Perth

Owners here mostly keep Labrador Retriever, Cocker Spaniel, French Bulldog, Staffordshire Bull Terrier. Knowing how those breeds behave, and saying so on your profile, is what turns a first booking into a repeat client.

Paid stays from Bridgend to Bertha Park

Bridgend is a village on the east bank of the Tay, a quarter of a mile east of the city centre. A settlement has existed there since at least the 16th century. Bertha Park has newer streets, and Bertha Park High School opened there in 2019. The first phase of houses and shops is built. Perth Airport at New Scone has no commercial flights, so the nearest major airports are Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen.

Common questions

House Sitting Jobs in Perth

What new sitters ask before signing up on Petme in Perth.

How much do house sitters earn per night in Perth?
House sitting on Petme in Perth runs £30 to £48 per night. You set your own nightly rate, and you keep up to 90% of every booking.
What protection comes with house sitting bookings?
The Petme Protection Plan offers up to £20,000 for eligible vet costs for the pet in your care, subject to its terms. The same terms apply whether you stay in Craigie or Letham.
What does house sitting involve?
You stay in the owner's home and keep their pet's routine: feeding, walks, play, and company overnight, plus basics like mail and plants if asked. Owners book it so their pet stays in familiar surroundings while they travel.
How is house sitting different from boarding in Perth?
With house sitting you go to the owner's home; with boarding the pet comes to you. House sitting suits pets that do better in their own space, and it is billed per night the same way.
Can I choose which house sitting jobs I accept in Perth?
Yes. You review each home and pet, arrange a meet first if you want, and accept or decline. You set your nightly rate and your available dates, whether the home is in Craigie or Letham. No assigned bookings and no minimum nights.
What do owners expect from a winter house sit in Perth?
That the house stays warm and looks lived in. On a Perth winter sit owners want the heating held at their setting, post cleared, lights used normally, and the pet's routine unchanged. Agree in the meet and greet what to do if the boiler or a pipe plays up during a cold snap, so nobody is guessing at midnight.
Are there paid house sitting jobs in Perth?
Yes, house sitting on Petme is paid work: you stay overnight in the owner's home with their pets and keep the home looked after. You set your own rate and keep up to 90% of each booking. Owners nearby, in areas such as Bridgend or Craigie, send requests that you accept or decline.
How do I get a house sitting job in Perth?
You must be 18 or over with a smartphone, pass ID verification and add house sitting to your services in the Petme app. Then choose the parts of Perth you cover, from Kinnoull to Letham in the west, and accept the requests that suit you.
