Testimonials
PetCloud enables me to follow my passion to work with all different animals and gave me the confidence I needed - that I was meeting the pet care standards expected of me through their online accredited pet sitting course.
The PetCloud website reaches Pet Owners in my area - much more effectively than my own marketing efforts and it's wonderful working with a company who gives back to support the RSPCA's rescue work.

Frequently Asked Questions
PetCloud is an Australian, 5 year old, national company and part owned by RSPCA Qld. PetCloud’s mission is about making responsible pet care easy. We have an excellent reputation and high standard of care.
Pet sitters are responsible for all basic animal care while their clients are on vacation or traveling for business. Routine duties include:
- Daily Feeding, putting out fresh water every morning and evening & scrubbing bowls.
- Brushing pets
- Taking dogs on walks, and providing exercise through play
- Cleaning litter boxes
- Additional services may include giving medications, vacuuming up pet hair in the house, or collecting the client's mail or newspaper
- Pet sitters are also responsible for notifying owners and taking pets to the vet if they should become sick or suffer an injury while under their supervision
With the help of RSPCA Vets, PetCloud has created the most reputable Accredited Pet Sitting course in Australia. We equip you with skills to be assertive, recognise potential risks, and handle situations, give you the confidence to understand the standard of care the RSPCA expects & become in-demand in your area.
The price of Pet Sitting per night can be on par with a luxury Hotel booking. How? Say for instance, you see a month long house sitting job for 2 dogs and a cat. If you offer extras to the owner, during the meet & greet, such as walking the 2 dogs x3 days a week during the booking. Your total booking price really starts to increase. For example:
Core Service:
House Sitting for 31 nights @ $51pn = $1550.
Plus Extras:
x2 dogs being walked 3 days per week for 4 weeks = $40 x 12 = $480
PetCloud has a Paid Referral Program where you can use your unique referral link to earn money for promoting PetCloud to Pet Owners across social media, and email. Potential earnings could look like an extra $240 per month if you bring on 10 new Pet Owners who book based on an average booking price of $300.
